Google's Helpful Content Update (HCU) hit a lot of online businesses hard with its new update.
Even well-established and authoritative websites experienced a significant drop in their rankings.
That's why I went behind the scenes with Kelan Kline from The Savvy Couple, whose online blogging side hustle did well even after the update.
Kelan built his online business up from making $50 in the first year to now seeing around 500k pageviews a month. That led to his online business making seven figures last year.

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.

Buy it with the creative financing methods Austin talks about in this episode.

Either do the work yourself or hire contractors.

The end game is positive monthly cash flow from rental income, plus building a long-term wealth through tenants paying off the mortgage.
Austin has developed some unique and interesting ways to hard money and private money to fund his property purchases.
The best part – it’s truly a side hustle that can be done in a few hours a week the end result is passive income from rental revenue.
