Niche Pursuits Podcast: Find Your Next "Niche" Business Idea!

Today I have another guest interview to review their niche site.  I was able to record an interview with Dee Bryant and discuss her site, TheDogEffect.com. Dee started her site near the beginning of Niche Site Project 3 and has been able to grow it to $300 per month in revenue!  She's done a great job with her site so far by following the steps I've laid out.  However, she wanted to hop on a call to discuss how she could take the site to the next level. In particular, we discuss how to do more link building and outreach.  In addition, we review what her ongoing content strategy should be in terms of schedule and types of articles she should be focusing on. Overall, I hope you enjoy the discussion!

Today, I’ve got another guest interview with Ben Doyle from the UK. It’s kind of a unique angle for this interview. Ben is not making a lot of money yet and has questions for me. I’m going to look at his website and provide some advice.  During this interview, you’re going to hear me look at the website, do a quick walk through, and share some of the tips that I feel will be able to take his website to the next level.

Today, I’ve got a really great guest interview for you. Justin has several niche websites. He’s making great money from Google Adsense, that’s how he got started out. He’s also very involved in the app business. He’s on the Google Android Play Store and he did share that he’s been doing about $1,000 per day in revenue this month. It’s a significant business there, and then even larger than that business is his Amazon FBA business that we dive into as well.

Today, I have somebody joining me as a guest on a podcast, his name is Scott Williams. Scott’s story is pretty interesting because like many of you, he has tried and failed to build a few niche websites and his luck changed when he decided you know what, instead of trying and building everything from scratch, I’m going to go out and I’m going to buy a website that’s already making money so that I can use that website and learn from what’ working on that website, why is it doing so well? He invested some money, about $28,000, to buy a website making about $1,000 dollars back in October 2016, so just a few months ago, 4 or 5 months ago. That has turned out to be a great investment for him so far. The site as of January 2017 is making about $2200 per month. Scott has done very well, he’s doubled the revenue of that website. During this interview, we’re going to dive into what’s working well for him, what he did to revamp the website and make it perform better, and then of course what he’s done now in terms of link building and outreach and a few other things in between so hopefully you enjoy the interview.

In today's episode, I bring Dave Fox as a guest on the podcast to discuss his growing niche site business! Dave has been a long time follower of NichePursuits.com, and although he has the background of a musician, he decided to dive into the niche site business.  Over the past couple of years he's done very well.  His sites are now bringing in about $5,000 a month! In the podcast today, we discuss Dave's background, how he got started online, and the strategies that are working best for him right now. We dive into one of his sites that is making about $3,000 a month and the keyword research and link building strategies that he employs. Dave shares how he uses scholarships to link build. He also shares things he learned about using Google Search Console to help improve his site.

Today, I’ve got a great guest on the show. It’s Khalid Farhan from PassiveJournal.com, that’s his blog over there and he also offers SEO services. What’s interesting about Khalid is his journey from being a student in Bangladesh and working for just $1 per article as a freelancer on Upwork and other freelance services, to going to owning his own business. He’s built out a number of niche websites (as he shared on a guest post here), a couple of which he has sold in 2016, one for $12,000 and another for $26,000. We’ll also talk about the current income he makes from his niche websites that he still owns as well. He’s doing very well building out and ranking websites and then selling a lot of those and then he also does quite well with his SEO services that we’ll touch on just a little bit as well. The majority of this interview will focus on how Khalid is building out his niche websites. We even reveal one of those niche websites that he sold recently so you can look at that as a template if you’d like to. Then we dive into some really cool link building strategies, a couple of very interesting ones that I have not tackled myself. These are new ideas to me that I actually do think could work pretty well. It’s a unique approach. Listen for that.

In today's episode, Jake and I discuss how our overall business is going.  We focus on what has changed since selling Long Tail Pro, Amazon FBA, Niche Sites, and some big goals that I have. We cover quite a bit in this podcast, including some personal goals and more.

In this episode, Jake and Ryan record another coaching call for Niche Site Project 3.  During the call, they reveal Ryan's niche site.

You will be happy to know that Hayden has a few more link building strategies that are working REALLY well in 2016.  And the best part is that these are very white hat links (not going to get penalized like PBNs can). 2 Link Building Strategies We dive into 2 link building strategies that are working well right now including: using creative common images and foreign news hacking.  You’ll have to listen to the interview to get all the details on these 2 strategies. In the last month (May 2016), just one of these link building strategies has gotten Hayden roughly 150 high quality links to a brand new site.  And these links are from authoritative websites like: Vice.com, Wired.com, CopyBlogger.com, Mashable.com, and many others.
