Matt Diggity is someone that has been buying, building, and growing affiliate website for a long time. In fact, I had him on the podcast about a year ago to discuss some of his background.

Since then, I've stayed in touch with Matt and he started sharing more and more about the recent success of a couple of websites that he purchased.

These 2 sites have gone from making less than $1,500 a month combined to nearly hitting his goal of $100,000 per month (combined earnings) before the end of this year!

And all of this growth has happened in less than 2 years.

How did he do it?  Well, that's the focus of this brand new interview that I'm releasing today.

We dive into tons of SEO strategies, but we focus mostly on E.A.T. (Expertise, Authority, and Trust) and Link Building.

Substack is a platform where independent publishers can easily earn money from their writing with paying subscribers.

Substack allows publishers to collect payments from subscribers and publish their content online and in email format.

If you do some googling or twittering, you’ll see that Substack is pretty hot right now. They got some $15 million-ish from Adreessen Horowitz and it feels like publishers are flocking there.

Did you know that more large sites (over 1,000,000 pageviews a month) use Ezoic when compared to Mediavine or Adthrive?

Tyler Bishop is the chief marketing officer for Ezoic and during this interview we discuss how Tyler got involved in Ezoic and what the company does.

We also dive into some of the common misconceptions about Ezoic; such as how it compares to Mediavine and Adthrive (or other ad shops). Does Ezoic slow down your site? You might be surprised at Tyler's answer. How does artificial intelligence play a role in Ezoic display ads?

If all ad shops (like Mediavine and Adthrive) get ads from the same place (primarily from Google ad exchange), why would someone choose one platform over another?
