1. Business idea of the Week: Pink Cowboy Hat flipping

Do you live within an hour of a city, and could use an extra $200-$300 this week?

If the answer is yes, then I may just have the perfect idea for you.

This one’s a bit different than most of my ideas… but hear me out.

For some reason (not really sure why), Pink Cowboy hats are a trending accessory with girls right now.

Just check out this TikTok that shows the 100’s of pink cowboy hats at one event.

And like usual, when theres a trend, theres away to make money.

The idea: Buy pink cowboy hats in bulk and resell them outside of bars or events.

I actually got this idea from this TikTok video.

In the video, he buys 12 pink cowboy hats off of Amazon for $75, and resells them outside of a bar for $25.

He sold all of the hats for $300, which means he profited $225 for about an hours worth or work.

So how can you do this?

Well… by doing exactly what he did.

You can buy the 12 pack of cowboy hats on Amazon for $85, and go to your nearest local bar (or basically anywhere with nightlife and drunk people).

You can re-sell that hats for $25-$30, meaning you’ll profit ~$18-23 for every hat you sell.

Not bad for a few hours work…

And that’s a wrap!

This week I came across a cool hack for getting your website links posted on other websites.

If you’re an SEO professional (un-like me), this is a basic concept for you.

But if you’re not an SEO professional (like me), you’ll probably find this helpful.

First off, let’s cover backlinks and why they’re important.

A backlink is a link to your website that is posted on another website.

Backlinks tell search engines like Google, that your website is legit. Basically, it’s a voting system that tells Google which website to prioritize.

The more links to your website = the better.

But how do you get other websites to publish links to your website? That’s the problem we’re solving here.

Here’s the hack: go to Google and search “Write for us + your niche”.

For 3 ideas on Sunday, this would look like “Write for us + Side Hustles”.

This is going to give you a bunch of websites that will allow you to write a blog for them, which will include a link to your website.

All you need to do is click on the website and contact them with an idea for a blog post.

Once they except, you’ll write your blog post (which will include a link to your website), and submit it to the website for them to publish.

Easy-peasy.

And that’s a wrap!
