Ever wish you could get a piece of the Amazon pie?
Corey Ganim of coreyganim.com did just that, banking $3.2 million in sales by selling other people's products on the e-commerce giant's platform.

Corey got started in early 2019 and went full-time with his unique wholesale business model by mid-2020.
He's since built a multi-million-dollar business buying brand-name inventory at wholesale prices and reselling it on Amazon at a profit.

One of the most common questions I get is, "What if I don't have any skills? Can I still start a side hustle?"
On the one hand, I totally get that feeling.
If you're a teacher, tutoring might seem like an obvious side gig. If you're an accountant, you could freelance or start a bookkeeping business.
But not everyone's skills neatly align with a natural side hustle. So what do you do if you don't think you have any marketable skills? Is there still a path to earning extra income on the side?
Yes, there absolutely is! And that's what I'm breaking down in this post—your four options to start a profitable side hustle, even if you think you're skillless today.

Austin Miller built a $1.2 million real estate portfolio at 31 years old -- for free.
He's a side hustling real estate investor specializing in "creative" financing deals -- houses he can buy without using his own money.
Austin is the author of Free Houses: How To Build Your Real Estate Investment Portfolio With No Money.
His basic strategy is this:

Find a killer deal on a house that needs some work.

Either do the work yourself or hire contractors.

GH: Free Houses: How to Build a $1 Million Real Estate Portfolio on the Side

When you hear "college admissions essay consultant," you might imagine some dull, overly formal academic type.
But Carter Osborne from carterosbornetutoring.com took a pretty unconventional path to dominating this niche business.
When he started providing tutoring services on the side, he was just a "broke, desperate graduate student" in need of some extra money.
Carter actually had no formal business training. His background was in political science and public administration—so not exactly the traditional entrepreneurial breeding grounds.
Not exactly the traditional path for an entrepreneur, right?
And yet, the untraditional route Carter took allowed him to build a unique $100k consulting business, with almost all the revenue coming in just half the year.
While Carter's career path didn't seem logical as a tutor, he was about to discover an untapped market niche that was waiting to be explored.
