Key figure involved is Shaun Ghavami, founder of 10XBNB (Vancouver-based, founded 2020), who exemplifies the model by starting a co-hosting service for Airbnb landlords with no investment—initially charging 20% of revenue, now 35%, generating over $5 million in fees.[INPUT] Platforms like Upwork, Freelancer.com, LinkedIn, Indeed, Viator, and Facebook are recommended for client acquisition.[INPUT]
This fits a broader 2026 trend of low/no-cost digital side hustles (e.g., freelancing, AI-assisted services) driven by remote work growth and gig economy expansion, as echoed in related content on freelancing and digital products.[1][2][3] Ghavami's success since 2020 shows scalability from side gig to multimillion revenue.[INPUT]
Newsworthy now due to April 2026 publication amid rising interest in high-paying hustles (e.g., $100–$300/tour, top niches in SaaS/health), as inflation and job market shifts boost demand for zero-barrier income streams verifiable via skills alone.[INPUT][2][4]
