Amelia Eudailey didn’t go to culinary school. She didn’t write a business plan. She just loved Swedish food — and knew she was burned out from tech. So she launched a small pop-up in San Francisco, serving hot dogs with shrimp salad, pickles, and sourdough buns. Then she sold out. Then she got featured in Eater SF. Then she quit her job at Zoom. Now her food stand, Chef Hej Hej, grosses up to $2,000 per event. In this today's side hustle success story, Amelia shares exactly how she made the leap — from startup meetings to hot dog prep — and what she’s learned about building a profitable, dare we say fun, side hustle from scratch. |

Hey Reader, For a long time, I thought making $10K a month meant landing a six-figure job or building a startup. But over the years, I’ve hit that number through multiple side hustles — blogging, freelancing, flipping collectibles, and (more recently) starting a print-on-demand shop from home. I’m not alone. These days, more people are reaching $10K/month by combining a few income streams — not just relying on one big win. So we put together a detailed guide:👉 How to Make $10K a Month (Even...
