Good morning from RetireHub!
It's Monday, and today we're diving into how you can turn your love for pets into a fun and profitable side gig! As always, we've got exciting deals, tips, and more to brighten your day!
🚨Heads up! It's not the publicly traded tech giant you might expect… Meet $MODE, the disruptor turning phones into potential income generators. Investors are buzzing about the company's pre-IPO offering.1
📲Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitte’s most recent fastest-growing companies list2 by aiming to pioneer "Privatized Universal Basic Income" powered by technology—not government. Their flagship product, EarnPhone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.
🫴 Mode’s Pre-IPO offering1 is live at $0.25/share — 20,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering. There’s still time to get in on Mode’s pre-IPO raise and even lock in 100% bonus shares3… but only until their current raise closes for good.

Make Extra Cash Pet Sitting: Turn Your Puppy Love into Profit
Ever thought that your knack for belly rubs and fetch could actually pad your wallet? If you're an animal lover, pet sitting is a fun way to earn some extra cash without feeling like "work" at all.
Here are some tips to get you started:
Join Pet Sitting Platforms: Check out sites like Rover or PetSitter.com where you can create a profile, set your rates, and connect with pet owners nearby. It's like a dating app but for you and adorable pets!
Offer a Variety of Services: Beyond just feeding and walking, consider overnight stays, grooming, or even pet taxi services to the vet or groomer. The more you offer, the more clients you'll attract.
Get Certified: While not always necessary, certifications in pet first aid or CPR from places like the Red Cross can boost your credibility and make pet owners feel extra secure.
Spread the Word Locally: Don't underestimate the power of your local community. Post flyers at vet clinics, pet stores, or community centers. Sometimes, word of mouth is the best advertisement.
Show the Love (with Updates!): Pet parents love updates. Send photos or brief messages about how their fur baby is doing. It's a small gesture that can lead to repeat business and glowing reviews.
Remember, pet sitting isn't just about the extra income—it's about spending time with lovable animals and giving peace of mind to fellow pet lovers. So why not turn those couch cuddles into a side hustle?
