Lucas and Luna break down how one former marketing coordinator built a $7,500/month side income by cleaning and visualizing data for small e-commerce brands. They walk through the specific tools (SQL, Tableau Public, Python pandas), the niche she chose (inventory optimization for Shopify stores), and how she landed her first three clients without a portfolio. Key numbers: average project fee of $1,500, monthly recurring retainers from two clients, and a 25-hour per week time investment.
