Rising Demand for Digital Side Hustles Fuels Growth of Network Marketing Leaders Darren Ewert and Mike Dreher

VANCOUVER, BC, April 30, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — As more professionals search for flexible, remote-friendly income opportunities, a growing number are turning to digital network marketing as a viable alternative to traditional side hustles. Darren Ewert and Mike Dreher, the online business coaches behind a community of underdogs, say they are seeing this shift firsthand, with interest in their Dream Team Community platform reaching new highs heading into the second quarter of 2026.

The demand for digital side hustles has accelerated significantly over the past several years, driven in part by economic uncertainty, the lasting effects of the pandemic-era shift toward remote work, and growing public awareness of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on traditional employment. Teachers, nurses, corporate professionals, and stay-at-home parents are among the groups most actively seeking income alternatives that can be managed around existing schedules.

“People are waking up to the fact that a single income stream is no longer a reliable safety net. What we see every day in our community is people who came in wondering if this was even possible for them and who are now building real, consistent income online.” – Mike Dreher

Darren Ewert and Mike Dreher have spent the last 10 years building what they describe as an online-first business model, one that uses social media, digital advertising, and structured coaching to help team members grow their own networks without requiring prior business experience. Their approach has attracted professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, many of whom describe network marketing as something they initially dismissed before seeing what a mentor-led, system-supported model actually looked like in practice.

In early 2026, the pair launched a new Coaching Training Program inside the Dream Team Community platform, giving new members access to a structured curriculum designed to reduce the learning curve and increase the likelihood of early momentum. The program covers everything from building a social media presence to understanding how to generate and convert leads online.

Darren Ewert points out that the business model they teach is not positioned as a quick path to wealth, but as a consistent, buildable income source for people who are willing to show up and do the work.

“Hope does not get you anywhere. Belief does. You have to audaciously believe that you are capable of figuring this out, and then you have to actually do the work. The people who succeed in this business are the ones who treat it like a business and not a lottery ticket.” – Darren Ewert

For those considering a digital side hustle in 2026, Mike and Darren suggest beginning with a clear picture of personal goals, a realistic assessment of available time, and a willingness to invest in both learning and community. Their Dream Team model is built around the idea that duplication, not just recruitment, is what creates lasting income.
