WHO IS IT?

Jill Bong from Oregon.

WHAT IS THEIR SIDE HUSTLE?

Jill and her husband put a new spin on an old product and launched Chicken Armor, a product to help keep female chickens protected. She also into publishing niche books via Amazon CreateSpace on VERY niche topics in the Homesteading genre – which is already niche.

WHY SHOULD I LISTEN?

In this episode, we are chatting with Jill Bong who, along with her husband, has created some extremely niche products and books around their homesteading lifestyle. She’ll explain what homesteading is in the episode but it’s essentially creating your own self-reliant ecosystem. The audio quality isn’t the best in this episode but I think you’ll still enjoy how Jill and her husband are creating freedom through their lifestyle and online businesses.

HOW WILL IT HELP ME?

You don’t always have to come up with a new, original idea. I always make the comparison to Uber – they didn’t invent taking people from point A to point B as a service. This was being done far before them by taxis, but they put a new spin on it. For Jill and her husband, their first niche product was Chicken Armor, and it was was a new spin on an old product. This handmade niche product helped them land in some very niche magazines as well as in some general publications. You’ll also get the blueprint Jill uses to launch books very fast on Create Space.

WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM?

You can find their Chicken Armor site here or on her personal site here.
