CO-HOST | Make Money with the Best Side Hustles Ranked
In this fun and fast-paced episode of the Travis Makes Money podcast, Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down and rank some of the most popular side hustles in today’s economy—from freelance copywriting and media buying to dropshipping, reselling, and drone businesses. Along the way, they swap hilarious gym stories, debate hustle culture, and dive deep into which side hustles actually build valuable long-term skills versus which ones are becoming obsolete. Travis also shares why drones may be one of the most underrated opportunities in business right now. On this episode we talk about: Why copywriting and paid ads are still high-value skills despite the rise of AI The problems with dropshipping and why margins are shrinking How reselling and flipping can teach valuable negotiation and arbitrage skills Why drone businesses could become one of the best modern side hustles The difference between side hustles that build transferable skills and ones that don’t scale Top 3 Takeaways The best side hustles teach skills that can transfer into larger business opportunities, like persuasion, marketing, and customer acquisition. AI is rapidly changing industries like copywriting and media buying, but skilled operators still have a major advantage today. Drone services are a surprisingly strong business opportunity because the startup costs are relatively low while the applications continue expanding into real estate, inspections, agriculture, and filmmaking. Notable Quotes “Copywriting is essentially the written language of persuasion.” “If you’re not pushing it, then what are you doing there?” “Amazon is a logistics company fronting as a commerce company.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: @travischappell LinkedIn: Travis Chappell Website: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: Are you ready to start your own creator journey and make it big?
