Welcome back to another episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast, where Spencer and Jared talk about the biggest news in the SEO and creator industry and what it means for you. They also share their inspiring side hustles and some weird niche sites they've discovered.
Today they tackled the biggest news item we’ve seen in a while: Google’s antitrust lawsuit.
Google has been in the news for a while now as the courts have been trying to determine whether or not it’s a monopoly and a decision was finally handed down, stating that the company does have an illegal monopoly on search.
What did the company say on Twitter and how did others respond? And what are the potential outcomes?
Spencer and Jared talk about how Google got here, what it might be asked to do in the future, and what they really think about Google’s claims.
Moving along, they head into the Shiny Object Shenanigans portion of the podcast, and Spencer goes first. He talks about his experience with the Facebook Bonus Program, of which he has been a member for the last 2 months.
His first month in the program, he earned $3k, and he was on track to surpass that in his second month. What happened at the end of July? How did it all play out?
When it’s Jared’s turn, he talks about the Amazon Influencer Program.
Although he had a few complicated days, his monthly earnings were in line with his usual performance. He also announces the release of his new course, which walks you through the process of getting started in the program.
He shares some interesting data, comparing his performance with Spencer’s and another member of the Amazon Influencer Program, who recently joined. He looks at how much they’re all earning and how many clicks each of their videos are receiving per month.
He also talks briefly about his experience with the Creators Connection program.
Then they move on to their Weird Niche Sites.
Spencer goes first with Spot the Difference which, as the name suggests, shows users two photos and they have to find 4 things that are different. It’s monetized with a lot of display ads and gets around 23k organic visitors a month.
When it’s Jared’s turn, he’s excited to share Where Is My Milk From, indubitably a weird niche site that helps you locate the origin of your milk.
And that brings us to the end of another episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast. We hope you’re feeling informed and inspired.
Don’t forget to catch Spencer and Jared next Friday when they tackle the latest news and provide updates on their projects.
