Rucking: the latest health trend 📈

GM. This is Work "After" Work, the newsletter that helps you find the missing piece to your business puzzle.

Happy Friday Eve! Here’s the docket for today:

• 🎒 Rucking

• 😂 Meme of the day

To the 112 new people since my last edition, welcome to the WAW fam! 😊 We’re over 35,000 hustlers strong 💪 

I made $27 yesterday while waiting for my coffee

So I've been testing this app called KashKick for a few weeks now, and it's legitimately the easiest side money I've found.

You literally get paid to:

• Download and try new apps (took me 3 mins)

• Play mobile games (made $50 from ONE game last week)

• Answer quick surveys when you're bored

The best part? Money hits your PayPal instantly - no waiting 30 days like those other survey sites. I cashed out $43 last Thursday and used it for date night.

Just:

1. Create your account

2. Connect your PayPal (this unlocks the instant cash-outs)

3. Start with the highest-paying offers on your dashboard

HIKING... WITH A BUNCH OF BRICKS

Today we're talking about the latest trend in health and wellness. It's called rucking, and it involves carrying a backpack filled with weight while walking or hiking.

Trust me, this isn't your grandma's leisurely stroll through the park - rucking is a hardcore workout that helps you build muscle, improve your cardiovascular fitness, and reduce stress. Plus, it's cheap and accessible, making it a no-brainer for fitness fanatics on a budget.

And if you're thinking "Who would be crazy enough to do this?" turns out a lot of people are beginning to voluntarily hike with an extra 45 pounds on their backs.

This rucking subreddit community is still in its beginning phase with a little over 35,000 members and has grown exponentially over the past few years.

Where did people find this?
Rucking became popular as a civilian activity from the military and special forces who've been doing it since... ever to keep soldiers in shape.

Why is it becoming popular now?
When covid hit, people got outside and became more health conscious. Those same individuals are maintaining their outdoor exercise routines that were established during the pandemic and are looking for new ways to get fit.

Add to that the growing trend of people waking up to all the time they spend on their phones. Outdoor activities are back.

And you're early to this one - let's blaze this trail together! (see what I did there 😏)

Here are 4 quick fire businesses you can create from this trend:

1. Trail Finders & Reviews

Similar to Nomad List (where others rate living in different parts of the world) create an app or website that allows rucking enthusiasts a place to find new trails and see how others have liked it.

When you Google "great mountains to ruck" the first article that comes up is reddit from 2021. This market is not saturated yet - become the first app or website to niche down for rucking.

This app or website could also help fellow ruckers find each other for morning group hikes before work, weekend rucks, etc.

2. 5k's & Specialty Events

Just like how cities have annual marathons and 5k's, start the same thing for rucking.

Health freaks love competition and being around others who also share their same passion. Similar to how marathons work today, have competitors sign up for $100 per person and compete hiking the Appalachian mountains or the mountain ranges of Colorado with rucksacks!

3. How-to-Guides

Teaching newcomers how to keep pace on hikes and the best brands to use are frequently asked questions in the rucking subreddit.

This could be YouTube videos, TikToks, or a niche blog that you can place advertisements on and push affiliate links.

4. Rucking Tours

If you're the outdoorsy type and live near mountains or hiking trails, starting a business that leads rucking tours through scenic locations would be an awesome business to start.

Offer guided hikes, training sessions, and even rucking retreats for hardcore fans of the sport. Just make sure to pack plenty of snacks and water - and maybe a first aid kit, just in case.

And that’s all I had for today. Happy hustling! 💪 

MEME OF THE DAY

😂😂

I can see exactly what millionaires are buying in the stock market

No joke - I've been using Public for over 3 years now and it's changed how I invest. Instead of guessing what stocks to buy, I can literally see what successful investors are adding to their portfolios and copy their moves.

I bought the same tech stock as this famous investor last month and I'm already up 8%! (This "social investing" feature is seriously a cheat code)

Why I'm obsessed:

• Zero fees - they don't take a cut of your money

• Start with just $1 - buy portions of expensive stocks like Amazon

• Simple - even my tech-challenged dad figured it out

Double bonus right now: Deposit just $1 using code "FAARES20" and you'll get $20 in free stocks from Public + I'll personally send you $10 cash when you send me your confirmation screenshot.

That's $30 free just for trying it! Grab your free money here →

That's a wrap ladies & gents! Enjoy your weekend :)
