Scaling Your Side Hustle
Like Duolingo, but for Scaling Your Side Hustle. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 11 levels across 2 sections, about 22 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Optimizing the Engine and Scaling the Impact. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in Scaling Your Side Hustle
- Value-based pricing focuses on the client's ROI rather than the designer's hourly rate.
- The most expensive 'Anchor' tier makes the middle option feel like a bargain.
- Charging for outcomes decouples your income from the speed at which you work.
- A low-cost 'Starter' tier provides a floor for comparison against the target package.
- Applying value-based pricing to shift from labor-hours to client results
- Arranging a tiered pricing structure to utilize price anchoring
- Self-employment tax accounts for the employer-side social security and medicare contributions.
- Waitlists create perceived scarcity that allows you to raise prices due to high demand.
- SaaS subscriptions and platform fees are recurring overhead that eat into net margins.
- Publicly signaling limited capacity increases your 'authority' and justifies premium rates.
- Identifying hidden overhead costs that erode side hustle margins
- A 'No-Brainer' upsell requires little extra labor but provides high perceived value.
- Digital assets or standardized templates create pure profit with zero marginal cost.
- Using capacity limits to signal market demand and justify higher rates
- Identifying high-margin upsells for common side hustle services
- A bottleneck is the single stage where work piles up and limits total output

Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
