Keval Shah is the founder of an SEO agency that is especially for e-commerce websites. It’s called Inbound Pursuit and Keval joins us to tell us all about it.

His SEO agency is helping many businesses drive traffic to their e-commerce stores and dramatically increase their sales. After a short period of time, the agency is now averaging $80K per month.

How has he done it?

Besides being an authentic and hardworking person who is willing to take risks and test things, Twitter has been the biggest driver of growth.

I'm really excited about our guest today on the podcast - Nick Loper from Side Hustle Nation!

Nick is not only a really well-known blogger and podcaster, but he's also one of the nicest guys that you could meet. While he runs multiple sites, Side Hustle Nation is his focus right now, which has grown massively since Nick was last on the podcast all the way back in 2013.

In the interview, we talk a lot about the Side Hustle Nation blog, covering:

• how it's making money through affiliate revenue
• his really well put together SEO strategy
• how he selects keywords
• how he writes the content out
• and updating old content

Nick has a lot of tips and strategies not only related to SEO and content creation but also having a business mindset in general as well. I know you'll enjoy listening to this successful entrepreneur. 

Where do you go if you want to invest money into a website but you don't actually want to operate that website? Or on the flip side, what if you are a skilled website operator but don't have a lot of money to invest right now?

Where can investors and operators find a match?

That's the problem Sam Bass is trying to solve with ChiefOperators.io. Chief Operators is a platform where website operators and website investors can get connected and decide if they want to do a deal together.

Sam summarizes the business as "a community that helps proven website operators that have experience in their niche joint venture with investors to buy websites." So that's the main feature, but there are a few other side benefits as well.

In this interview, he shares a bit about his background and story but focuses mostly on what Chief Operators can offer the online business community today.

Back in 2018, a business partner and I invested together in a niche website. 

I had not long sold my Amazon FBA business and wanted to invest some of that money into another online business. We decided to try and find an off-market deal rather than going through a broker.

My partner and I started by looking around in private Facebook groups dedicated to website owners. We would simply ask if there was anyone looking to sell. After a lot of back and forth with various potential sellers, we found the site we would ultimately buy - a mom blog!

Most of the content was on crafting, cooking, and parenting, and I thought there was a lot of room for growth. You can read more about the process and our initial plans here.

In this week's podcast, I want to update you on:

• how much we bought the mom blog for
• the ups and downs that we've had over the past 3 years
• and where the website is today

I'll also share with you the sources of income and what it was making when we bought it, and how much it was expected to make in June 2021.
