102. Side Hustle Turned Into $500K/Month Business (Here's How!)

The UpFlip Podcast

Josh Pather started a photo booth rental business as a side hustle in 2012. Within 3 years, Photo Booth International was doing over 800 events every year, and today they average $500,000 a month in revenue. Hear Josh’s advice for how to scale a business from side hustle to huge revenue in this episode.

When Josh got started in photo booth rentals, he had no plans to turn it into a full-time business. He was just looking for a way to make some extra income on the side of his full-time job. When that job moved overseas, he took it as a sign that it was time to grow his photo booth rental business. Today, they’re not only thriving, but are helping other people achieve financial freedom with their own photo booth rentals.

In this interview, we’ll get the inside scoop from Josh on how he got started in the photo booth rental business. He’ll share the early mistakes he made, what he learned in the process, and how his expertise in marketing, combined with good old fashioned hard work, helped him to achieve the impressive revenue Photo Booth International brings in today.
