How to Start a 6 Figure Side Hustle Exclusively on FB Marketplace. Ep #055

I sat down with Alex Hanson, the founder of The Shelf Dude ( https://theshelfdude.com ), a business that started as a weekend side hustle and has now turned into a six-figure operation. Alex talks about how he used Facebook Marketplace and other social media platforms to grow his business and why he decided to leave his full-time job to focus entirely on building custom shelves.

We also cover the challenges he faced in scaling a niche business, dealing with copycats, and the importance of sticking to a single product.
