Why We Launched The Start Your Side Hustle Course
The Market Is Unpredictable
The past year has been turbulent.
After COVID-19’s devastating assault on the global economy, we’re seeing gigantic, market-dominating businesses fall from grace. We’re seeing employers scurrying to cut costs and outsource employees, and 20.6 million people plunged into unemployment lines in a shroud of uncertainty.
According to reports by the US Bureau of Labor, the unemployment rate bounced to 6.0% in April 2021 — down from 6.2% in February, and from last April’s 14.8% high.
Jumping from 14.8% to 6% is a positive step, but bear in mind that February 2020 and pre-COVID statistics were sitting at 3.5%.
If we learned one thing from COVID, other than the importance of washing our hands, it’s that the days of relying on your employer for job security are over. The one life raft you can’t cling to anymore is your job, and the “new economy” isn’t just emerging, it is here.

Invest in Yourself
With this huge economic shift, it’s easy to be anxious about all the change and uncertainty in the world.
The truth of the matter is that the only constant…
…is YOU!
The new economy is the YOU economy.
And the YOU economy means that YOU are the only thing you can rely on. 2021 is the time to take your finances and future into your own hands.
By starting your own side hustle, you’re investing in your future self. You’re upskilling, you’re getting valuable experiences to add to your CV, and best of all, you’re giving yourself a safety net to fall back on.

Who Is Daniel DiPiazza, and Why Did We Choose Him As Our Course Instructor?
Here at Foundr, we have some pretty strict criteria when it comes to our course instructors.
We only work with proven, legit, real-life entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses. You won’t find lessons taught by someone “playing business” with a rented Lambo on a maxed-out credit card telling you how they got rich over the weekend. We don’t have gurus that smile nicely and promise a million dollars through some dodgy business scheme.
We have a hard rule that anyone we work with must be an industry leader. Their companies must be ranked in the top three brands within their niche or industry.
When it comes to starting a side hustle, freelancing, and consulting, we knew we wanted to work with Daniel DiPiazza for two reasons:
Firstly, we are in awe of his phenomenal ability to start profitable side hustles for himself. Daniel’s journey has taken him to all corners of the entrepreneurial game, from creating his own web design business that generated $9,500+ in under a month with zero coding knowledge, to launching a side-hustle consulting business that generated an impressive $1.2M. His list of successful side hustles includes copywriting, personal training, and even coaching high school students on their SATs.
In fact, Daniel was so successful at starting side hustles that Penguin Random House asked him to write a book called “Rich 20 Something: How to Ditch Your Average Job, Start An Epic Business, And Score The Life You Want,” which went on to become a bestseller.
And secondly, we chose Daniel because of his ability to teach other people these skills. Daniel has now taken over two thousand beginner-level students through his training with incredible results.
Daniel’s system has now helped thousands of students just like you. But don’t worry, these weren’t just online and digital businesses—his students have used these exact lessons to create all kinds of side hustles, from cleaning to dog walking!

As we began our long search for the perfect course instructor, we don’t solely look for insanely successful business people. What we look for is a person who knows the game, someone who has been on the journey multiple times and knows the ins and outs of success and failure.
The person must have a proven, successful, and repeatable system that can be taught to anyone to get results.
Because being an OUTLIER isn’t repeatable. But a system is. And along with his big personality, that’s something that Daniel brings to the table: a repeatable side-hustle system that anyone can follow to get their first paying client in 30 days.
FAQS for Foundr’s Start Your Side Hustle Course
What do you mean by “side hustle”?
A side hustle is an alternative stream of income to run alongside your existing job. And if you keep hustling, it might even become your full-time gig.
Side hustling covers freelancing, consulting, and essentially any service-based business where you can package up your “skill inventory” and sell it to high-paying clients.

Foundr’s Start Your Side Hustle Course Case Study:
Patryk GawlakPatryk had a side hustle that was steadily growing, he wanted to take the business to the next level, but he didn’t have the key things to go forward with.
That is until he decided to reach out to Daniel, who he has been following for years, and Daniel suggested that he enroll in Foundr’s Start Your Side Hustle course to help him gain a deeper understanding of marketing. Patryk says working with Daniel was super valuable. He had to learn a lot of certain skills in order to grow further.
After jumping on board to help out his mom’s side business, Patryk was able to grow their company from earning an average of $10k to $50k!
Is this just for people in the US and Australia?
No!
This course can be accessed from anywhere in the world – so as long as you have an internet connection and a laptop, and the methods can be applied to a business anywhere.
Currently the members of the course span every continent (except Antarctica, but maybe someday).
Do I get access to Daniel? Or is there additional support and encouragement?
We understand accountability, encouragement, guidance, and validation are all part of the “secret sauce” that helps you follow through on the course.

Do I need to quit my job to do this full-time?
No, you don’t need to leave your job.
In fact, we highly suggest you don’t quit your job until you get enough income from your side hustle so you can make the switch smoothly without putting your family and lifestyle at risk. You can get started with as little as 1 hour a week, and scale up from there as you build confidence.
Note: This is what Daniel did. You can too. There’s no need to take unnecessary risks.
Foundr’s Start Your Side Hustle Course Case Study: Jennifer Carty
Jennifer saw a 35% growth in her business just by implementing the systems she learned from Daniel’s teachings. By the end of the course, she was able to break a quarter of a million revenue mark last year.
What if I’m just starting out and have no idea what side hustle I want to create?
Then you’re in the right place. Daniel is going to show you how to take a “skill inventory” and find the right idea for you, one that aligns with your passions and profit goals. You’re also going to learn how to validate your idea and get paid before you risk anything.
What’s the difference between Start Your Side Hustle and Start & Scale?
People often get a little muddled on which is which.
The Start & Scale Your Online Store course will take you through all the necessary steps to start and launch an ecommerce store selling a physical product, including coming up with an idea, validating it, and getting it manufactured. For example, Start & Scale will help you start an ecommerce business selling handmade soaps or candles.
If you’re interested in starting an eCommerce store selling a physical product instead, we highly recommend our Start & Scale Your Online Store course, taught by Gretta van Riel.
The Start Your Side Hustle course is all about monetizing your existing skills and getting your first paying client within 30 days, and it doesn’t require any money to get started. For example, you may start designing websites for local businesses or training staff at restaurants. You’re not selling a physical product; you’re monetizing your existing skills.
Our Start Your Side Hustle course instructor, Daniel DiPiazza, will teach you a low-risk, step-by-step blueprint to get your first paying client within 30 days, without needing any money or prior experience to get started. He’ll take you through how to come up with and validate a winning idea, as well as client outreach and acquisition strategies, pitching, building your online presence and brand, all the way through to actually delivering your service.

How much money will I need to start a side hustle?

In the course, we’ll teach you exactly how to do so, without crazy cash investments on your end. Plus it helps that you have a 100% profit margin and no overhead to worry about.

Key Summary
By following the blueprint laid out for you inside Start Your Side Hustle, you could be landing your first client within 30 days or less. Will it take some hard work and dedicated focus? Of course it will—run from anyone who tells you otherwise.
