šŸš€ Your Side Hustle Might Be Profitable… But Is It Growing?

How to Reinvest When You’re Bootstrapping?

Hey there, Wealth Builder! 

Bad news first: Taking 100% of your side hustle profits = staying stuck forever.

Good news? Reinvesting just 20% the right way can 10X your income.

Take Jason (a past student):

  • 2019: Made $500/month selling printables → Took all as spending money
  • 2021: Started reinvesting 30% in ads/tools → Hit $12K/month
  • 2023: Sold business for $342K

Today, I’ll show you exactly where to put your next $100 for maximum leverage.

šŸ’ø The "Reinvestment Hierarchy" (For Cash-Strapped Hustlers)

1. Kill Profit Leaks (Instant ROI)

  • Example: Replace $29/month Canva with Pitch (free for starters)
  • Your Move: Audit subscriptions → Cancel 1 tool this week

2. Buy Back Your Time ($ → Freedom)

  • Rule: If a task cost <$20/hour to outsource, delegate it now
  • Best First Hire: Virtual assistant for $5-15/hour (e.g., Fiverr) → Free up 5+ hours/week

3. Fuel Exponential Growth

  • $100 Magic Move: Run a scalable ad test (Example: $5/day Pinterest ads promoting digital products)
  • $300 Game Changer: Invest in a high-converting template (e.g., Etsy SEO titles that convert 2X better)

šŸ“ˆ 3 Bootstrapper Case Studies

1. The $27→$40K/Month Etsy Hack

  • Reinvestment: Spent $27 on Erank (keyword tool) → Optimized listings → 6X sales
  • Key Lesson: Data beats guesses

2. The Lawn Care Empire Starter

  • Reinvestment: Used first $500 profit to buy a used lawn mower → Landed commercial contracts
  • Key Lesson: Assets compound

3. The TikTok Ghostwriter

  • Reinvestment: Hired a $15/hour editor→ 3X her content output →Landed $5K retainer
  • Key Lesson: Leverage before you’re "ready"

šŸ› ļø Your 72-Hour Challenge

Step 1: Calculate your "Reinvestment Number"
āž”ļø (Last month’s profit) x 20% = $_____ available now

Step 2: Pick ONE growth lever:

  • šŸŽÆ Tools: Keyword research, AI writer, legal templates
  • ā³ Time: Outsource graphics, emails, or customer service
  • šŸ“¢ Traffic: $5/day ads or SEO-optimized blog post

Step 3: Spend it within 72 hours (momentum beats hesitation every time)

 

Keep thriving,
