Thinking of buying the Side Hustle Accelerator course? Is it worth it? Well today I'm going to look at what you get, who the lady behind the screen is, and ultimately if I think it's worth it.
Promoted heavily by major outlets such as Entrpreneur.com, we'll deep dive into this course.

What is Side Hustle Accelerator?
Everyone has a goal to be financially stable but with limited money and resources, this goal sometimes takes a lifetime to achieve. The Side Hustle Accelerator is a course designed to help everyday people achieve financial independence, efficiently and effectively.
The lesson plan is designed for those who feel lost and do not understand how to successfully launch a side hustle. With guidance from Kim Perell, this course will help you turn your passion into profit.
It's almost like a Masterclass.com special offer as you get limited training, but at a budget friendly price. Kim isn't in this for the money, but more for getting her name out there.
Who is Kim Perell?
Kim Perell is an entrepreneur based in the United States. She is the author of a best-selling business book, The Execution Factor: The One Skill that Drives Success. She was the previous CEO of Amobee and known for her time at Xdrive Technology where she brought in $9 million thanks to advertising.
Perell has been regarded as an AdAge’s Marketing Technology Trailblazer. The National Association of Female Executives also chose her as Entrepreneur of the Year. She is most well-known for her rags to riches story.
Perell received her Bachelor of Science in Administration from Pepperdine University, where she also earned magna cum laude. After graduating university, Perell landed a job at a startup company which went bust and never successfully launched.
As a result of this, she was dismissed. She then began a side hustle straight out of her home kitchen. After years of hard work, Perell managed to turn her side hustle into a business that brought in $100 million per year. She successfully become a millionaire before the age of 30.
Perell sold her latest venture Adconion Direct for $235 million. She now works as an angel investor, where she invests in startups. Some of her investments are in billion-dollar corporations.
Unlike some gurus that get featured on my blog, Kim has actually been featured in news sites such as Business Insider, NY Times, Forbes, Inc., Success, Entrepreneur and Huffington Post.
What’s in the Side Hustle Accelerator?
The Side Hustle Accelerator is made up of 28 lessons which take about 10 hours to complete. There is Startup 101: Principles of Success which helps students work out their biggest strengths and develop brand new abilities.
You get 28 lessons over 10 hours, plus a workbook and some bonus content. Plus there's a $9.95 monthly addon you can optionally subscribe too.
This section also digs deeper into both your professional and personal world, where Perell helps identify you recognise what is preventing you from reaching your goals.
The Side Hustle Accelerator also consists of 9-step workbook. This book is designed to help you build a side hustle from the ground up.
From looking at ideas to targeting out specific demographics, there are tools to help launch a profitable business. There are also email templates included to help you successfully engage with clients.
This course comes with additional articles that address potential problems that may arise when launching a side hustle.
The Side Hustle Accelerator includes a customised directory full of more than 100 side hustle ideas. These ideas require no prior experience and come with only minor drawbacks.
There are also plans that teach how to juggle both a 40-hour work week and a side hustle. These resources are also designed for personal development, with plans on getting rid of fear and the possibilities of failure.
These side hustles come with information regarding revenue and pre-requisites. There is also direct insider knowledge provided.
This course brings access to the Side Hustle Community which is filled with entrepreneurs with the same grinding mindset as you. The community is incredibly active and is also a great place to network.
How much does the course cost?
The Side Hustle Accelerator is currently available for $59. However, the regular price is normally $896, with a regular sale cost of $79. The $59 price tag also comes with a one-off annual subscription to Entrepreneur Magazine.
I've seen this course advertised as low as $30 from Entrepreneur.com. Is the upsell the $9.95 recurring fee what's driving the low price? Or is it just an average course worth that much?
For an additional $9.95 a month, students can also join the VIP Membership. This includes live classes with Perell herself, in addition to her best-selling book.
All major debit and credit cards are accepted, including MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. Payment through PayPal is also supported.
There is a 30-day money back guarantee for those unsatisfied with the course.
Any testimonials for the course?
Several positive reviews can be found on the official page. Shona Elliot, a CEO personally created a video showing how the course expanded her knowledge and prevented her from splurging thousands on marketing campaigns.
Emma also shared her experience with the Side Hustle Accelerator. She managed to monetize her passion for writing. Brian also commented that this course helped him in both his professional and personal life as he learnt how to make smart decisions.
My Side Hustle Accelerator Review
I have to admit I was sceptical about this course as is often the case with big name entrepreneurs. Why would Kim Perell need to create a $30 course when she's a multi million dollar businesswoman?
But it became clear this is more of a mini Masterclass that was obviously paid for and distributed by a company such as Entrepreneur.com, as they seem to be promoting it highly online.
In terms of the content, it does give you some ideas on how to start a side hustle, whether that's eCommerce, writing, or whatever interests you. Working a day job will never make you rich, you need to do something extra, something different, and this course does help you to do that.
I'd say this is definitely a good buy. But if you know what side hustle you'd like to start. I would definitely buy a business course on starting that business model.
If for example it was dropshipping, I'd buy a dropshipping course such as eCom Elites for $197. If it was social media marketing I'd buy a specialist smma course, if it was SEO etc. There's no standout method to follow in this course.
