How a Marketing Manager Built a 5000 Monthly Side Hustle in Podcast Editing

Episode 17 of The Side Hustle Career Podcast explores how a marketing manager named Rachel turned her ear for audio into a $5,000 monthly side hustle editing and producing podcasts for business clients. Lucas and Luna break down Rachel's journey: from learning DAW basics on YouTube to landing her first client on LinkedIn, scaling through referrals, and eventually hiring a junior editor to handle overflow. They discuss the specific skills that matter (EQ, noise reduction, pacing), the tools she uses (Audition, Descript, Auphonic), and how she prices per episode vs. per hour. Plus, they touch on the surprising overlap between podcast editing and marketing—understanding audience retention and narrative flow.
