In episode 25 of The Side Hustle Career Podcast, Lucas and Luna talk to Emma, a former retail manager who turned her Excel skills into a $3,000-per-month side hustle building custom spreadsheets for small businesses. Emma shares how she found her first client on Reddit, transitioned from templates to bespoke work, and scaled to a steady roster of clients without quitting her day job. We also discuss the surprising demand for spreadsheet expertise in 2026, how to price per project vs. hourly, and why being 'boring' can be a competitive advantage. If you've ever thought about monetizing a practical skill you already have, this episode is for you. #SpreadsheetConsulting #ExcelSideHustle #FreelancingWhileEmployed #SideHustle #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SecondIncome #SmallBusiness #RedditFreelance #PricingStrategy #ProjectManagement #DataAnalysis #GoogleSheets #BoringIsProfitable #LucasAndLuna #Fexingo #SpreadsheetExpert Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
