Today, I'm excited to bring you another interview for the podcast!  I had the opportunity to chat with Deacon Hayes from WellKeptWallet.com and discuss how he's grown such a large website.

 

I love the story of Well Kept Wallet for a couple of reasons.  First, Deacon has been able to grow the site to over $100,000 a month in revenue!  But secondly, his site was not an overnight success.  In fact, it took him about 5 years to grow the site to over $1,000 a month.

So, the first lesson here is that often the rewards come to those who stick with it.

However, Deacon also has some great SEO tips to share.  Most of the traffic to the site is coming from Google, and so I wanted to dive into the details of what is workings in terms of his SEO strategy.

Enjoy the podcast!

Today, I'm excited to bring you an interview with one of the Niche Site Project 4 participants!  During the most recent monthly income report, most people reported no earnings.  

However, today's guest reported earnings of $889 after just one month!  That's almost unheard of with a new niche site.  As a result, I wanted to have him on the podcast to discuss what has been working so well and how he was able to earn so much so quickly.

Today's guest is Jae Jun from GorillaROI.com.  Gorilla ROI is the site that he started as part of the project.

Now in all fairness, Jae had been working on this software project before Niche Site Project 4 started.  But he didn't launch the site until after, so it still "counts".

If you listen to the full podcast episode, you'll hear how Jae was able to hustle his way to his first few sales using Reddit and Amazon Seller forums.  But he also has plans on how he can consistently grow the business as well.

Today, I'm excited to share a recent interview I did with Trent Dysrmid of BrightIdeas.co.

Trent and I have know each other for many years since the early days of NichePursuits.com.  Trent has gone from building niche sites, to running a marketing agency, to selling private label selling products on Amazon, to now wholesaling products on Amazon.

Bottom line is that Trent was able to take his business from 0 to $100k a month in revenue within 5 months.  He expects that his Amazon wholesale business will do about $3 million in revenue this year.

In today's podcast episode, I was able to sit down with Zach Zorn from MoneyNomad.com and discuss a recent buy and flip that he found on EmpireFlippers.com.

What I love about Zach's story is that he's been a long time Niche Pursuits reader and had NO affiliate marking or online business experience previous to this.  

In fact, Zach is currently full-time employed as a Yacht broker in San Diego.  So, if you are in the market for a Yacht, go ahead and give Zach a call.

Long story short is that Zach bought a site for $49k in January of this year.  The site was making him a profit of about $3k to $4k a month while he owned it.  So, he pocketed an additional $13k before he sold it for $75k in May of this year.  That's a cool $40k extra in his pockets from this site flip...not bad!

Zach has some really interesting ways that he was able to grow the site.  If you want all the details, I highly recommend that you listen to the full episode!
