Melbourne besties’ side hustle Cardigang now makes $4 million

Best mates Cat Bloxsom and Morgan Collins, who met while studying at university, started Cardigang as a casual side project in 2019. The online marketplace allows customers to buy and sell second-hand cards, primarily targeting collectors of trading cards and board games. Initially, the duo operated Cardigang as a part-time venture, selling cards at local markets and online. However, the business quickly gained traction, and their online presence expanded rapidly. As the company's popularity grew, so did its revenue, eventually reaching $4 million in annual sales. The success of Cardigang enabled Bloxsom and Collins to quit their day jobs and focus on their business full-time, demonstrating the potential for side hustles to become a viable and lucrative career path.
