I'm Not Doing This Anymore
It is my favorite side hustle, and I no longer recommend doing it at all.
I’m going to explain it so you don’t accidentally fall victim to this side hustle because a lot of GURU’S are still pitching it which is sad. It just doesn’t work anymore.

So this mysterious niche in question is Blogging.
Yes, I am saying it right here and right now… BLOGGING IS DEAD.
Honestly, that hurts me to say.
But first… why is it dead?
In July of 2023, I was running a handful of niche blogs and making good money. In fact, one of those sites, I sold in late August for a sweet 5-figure payday.
But then Google did something really STOOOPID… the Helpful Content Update (HCU) hit and most sites died.
We are talking complete devastation overnight. Traffic to most of my sites went from thousands per day to dozens.
In fact, here is one of my sites (it’s hard to watch)
It still hurts to see… but it is what it is. Entrepreneurs are going to Entrepreneur.
We figure stuff out.
But that is not the ugly part of this whole thing…
The ugly part is guys and girls on YouTube and Twitter/X are still saying that it’s a viable business model.
It’s not.
So why are they saying it? Because they have courses they want to continue selling.
So this is my public service announcement to let you know NOBODY knows what’s going on with blogging now, so do not buy a course on one.
Save your money.
If someone is claiming success, they are lying to you and you should run.
So what should you be doing.
I had a call with a friend a couple of days ago and explained the business model I’m diving into and it involves YouTube and Newsletters and it’s going pretty well so far.
I talk about it a lot in my Private Community. Plus helping people really understand YouTube and not just the surface level stuff that the YouTube Gurus tell you.
Anyway, I just wanted to spare you a few bucks and let you know what is REALLY going on.
Have you ever fallen victim to any online shenanigans?
