What if you could build a website that earns thousands per month in relatively hands-off income while traditional SEO struggles?

That's exactly what Frey Chu has done with his directory-style websites. While article-based content sites have been getting hammered by Google updates, directory content has remained resistant to these changes and continues to generate that elusive semi-passive income online.

Frey built his first directory in the thrifting space, and six months later discovered it was getting 1,000 visitors per day. He quickly monetized with ads and made $1,200 that first month without doing much of anything.

Today, Frey earns a few thousand dollars monthly from his directory portfolio at ShipYourDirectory.com and teaches others how to replicate his success.
