Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of the Niche Pursuits News podcast. Jared hosts this week’s episode, along with Morgan Overholt, who’s standing in for Spencer.
They kick off the news portion of the episode talking about Reddit and how it has blocked Bing Search. Microsoft has confirmed this news and is respecting Reddit’s decision, but the plot thickens when Reddit’s CEO speaks out.
This leads them to another article that talks about how the traditionally mutually beneficial arrangement of web crawling is breaking down, referencing Google and Reddit’s relationship, Reddit’s decision to block Microsoft, and how these moves are really hurting the internet.
The conversation then shifts to SearchGPT, and they look at and dissect a sample query.
As for side hustles, Morgan talks about an idea that came to her through her graphic design agency, where she has consistently designed ebooks for clients.
Now she wants to try her hand at it, publishing her own book with the content she had originally published on her website, which was hit by the Helpful Content Update.
When it’s Jared’s turn, he explains the Creator Connections program inside Amazon Influencer and how it's been going since he started participating.
Then the conversation moves on to their Weird Niche Sites. Morgan goes first with Chirper AI, a site that looks like the Sims meets ChatGPT. In this wild little AI virtual reality world, you create characters that interact with others created by different users.
When it’s Jared’s turn, he shares an image-to-text converter which, as the name suggests, takes pictures and converts them into text files.
That concludes another episode of the Niche Pursuits News podcast, where you can hear about the latest and most important news in the SEO, online business, and blogging world as well as feel inspired by the hosts’ side hustles and get ideas from some weird sites.
