Like all of us, she's spent her twenties & early thirties being bombarded with lousy advice in all forms, from 30 second TikToks of self-appointed life coaches about how breathwork cured their athletes foot, friends-of-friends in the pub that SWEAR their sister's cousin's big toe managed to get their ex back through reiki, magazine's that have told her if she just got her calves to be 2cm smaller she'd definitely end up getting inundated with roses on Hinge. So assisted by her tiny intern Rory, Holly will be coming live from Lousy Digest HQ. A magazine that discusses the things that really don't matter, and makes a bit of a meal of it. If you're looking for pearls of wisdom or have some unusual/ interesting/ down right awful advice of your own, let us know at thatslousyadvice@gmail.com Thanks for listening and PLEASE don't forget to follow us so you never miss an episode! (And so I can move Rory to a paid intern role) Bye babe xx","last_synced_at":"2026-07-04T00:19:23.227260+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159"},"episode":{"title":"Holly’s becoming an ETSY WITCH?! and other weird side hustles we’re willing to try","slug":"holly-s-becoming-an-etsy-witch-and-other-weird-side-hustles-we-re-willing-to-try","published_at":"2026-07-03T13:53:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159/holly-s-becoming-an-etsy-witch-and-other-weird-side-hustles-we-re-willing-to-try","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NSR2942132474.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NSR2942132474.mp3","summary":"Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and episode premise on making money fast 00:29 - Fudging up plans and discussing quick money schemes 01:06 - Asking listeners for engagement and support 01:35 - Ranking get rich quick schemes and initial ideas 02:08 - Considering becoming an Etsy witch for quick cash 02:35 - Cultural references and witchcraft influencing football results 03:36 - Starting pyramid schemes with mugs 04:00 - Renting yourself out as a professional bridesmaid 05:00 - Becoming a LinkedIn influencer overnight 06:30 - Fake sob stories for online influence growth 07:21 - The idea of a mystery shopping business 08:40 - Professional queue sitter business concept 09:45 - Using deception for social media success 11:09 - Paid WhatsApp reply and social PA services 12:29 - Handling emotional conversations through automated responses 13:44 - Sharing personal messages and the limitations of honest communication 15:38 - Wrapping up with humor and encouragement to listeners Learn more about your ad choices.
