She Earned $110K in 1 Month From 2 Websites
Nina Clapperton runs multiple niche websites and shares her revenue numbers online 🤑
Her post from a few months back…
The vast majority of her earnings come from two sites.
Site one appears to be her travel blog, Nina Out and About, easy to find by googling her name.
Nina's numbers for that site last June 👇
Pageviews: 202k
Age: 6+ years
Affiliates = $21,810.72
Ads = $5,729.10
Courses = $182.00
Total = $27,648.67
Site two is all about SEO and blogging: She Knows SEO
Numbers for June 👇
Pageviews: 11k
Age: 1.5 years
Affiliates = $8,287.91
Coaching/Services = $24,764.00
Courses = $52,254.30
Email Sponsors = $200.00
Total = $85,506.21
Nina believes that her success "is entirely replicable in any niche"...
I showed up. I proved myself and built trust. I connected with my audience and offered them a ton of value. And then I asked for sales later.
Sure, She Knows SEO has only existed for 18 months, but long before that I was showing up in FB groups helping people out – even if it was misguided sometimes cause I thought I knew what I was talking about but I definitely didn’t.
And I kept helping people for free until I felt confident in my skills and had the stats to back them up. Then I monetized it.
🔑 Helping people for free seems to be key…
My audience saw a lot of me as I enacted my “Costco free sample policy” – aka. Letting them try an egg roll before they commit to a box of 800 egg rolls…
I like to help people grow with my free tips so they can 1) see that it works and 2) start earning the $$ to afford my services.
Also, Nina's story reminds me of that of Anne Moss…
Making 6 Figures, Working From Anywhere
Today's email is brought to you by Comprehensive Copywriting Academy.
That's a highly-rated copywriting course by Filthy Rich Writer 🤩
One student told us…
I can honestly say that without the CCA my copywriting business wouldn’t exist. Nicki walks you through everything you need to know, from the nuts and bolts of setting up a business from zero to how to write great copy.
Thanks to her guidance, I’m making six figures and can work from anywhere.
Started With $500, Then Earned $30K in 60 Days
In a recent video, Joe Davies reveals how he earned $30K in 60 days with his WordPress plugin, Query Hunter 😎
It all started when…
I came across a bit of a problem when using Google Search Console and editing my WordPress website. I found Google Search Console to be very hard to use and not very user friendly.
I couldn't cross reference it against my content well enough so I decided to make a plugin that essentially told me what keywords I was missing that I was being found for.
But…
I'm in no way technical. I don't know how to code. I don't know how to build WordPress plugins.
🤝 So, he hired a freelancer on Upwork to build it for him…
I paid $500 for the first iteration of Query Hunter, which was quite advanced in some respects because it was connecting to Google Search Console. But at the end of the day it was just pulling through Google Search Console data.
He adds…
You want to do the least feature version first, get it done as quickly as possible. What's the main feature you want? You want the MVP of it, just get that built.
(MVP = Minimum Viable Product)
Joe does have 20K+ followers on Twitter/X, which surely helped him promote the plugin 📣
But if you don't have an audience, he recommends…
To get initial traction, contact the large X profiles that might want to use this.
Give it away, ask them what they think of it and ask them if they want to promote it to their newsletter, to their X page, activate the affiliate program [and] give them a big percentage.
💡 If you've got an idea…
don't be scared of getting on Upwork and giving a developer your dream list of a plugin. You might be surprised with what they come up with… Get it on Gumroad and see if you can create a nice little side hustle.
His advice for working with freelancers on Upwork…
For a simple plugin that does one or two things and probably doesn't use any advanced tech, you're probably looking at between $250 and $500 [to get it built]…
You want to find people who've built plugins before… if you're building an SEO plugin hopefully they've made an SEO plugin before. If you're building a plugin for some other industry, hopefully they've built a plugin in that industry…
I always recommend getting on a call before you hire them… it’s only when you quiz them on certain things that you kind of get the real answer… you need to go through your list of specifications and you say can this be done [or not].
Joe has since introduced Query Hunter 2.0, available as a WordPress plugin or a Chrome extension.
Is there a Chrome extension or WordPress plugin you wish existed? 🤔
You could try getting it built like Joe suggests, see if it could become a nice earner for you.
🗂 $7000/Month Spreadsheet
From the archive, published February 2022…
Alex West recently announced that he’s up to $7000 MRR with cyberleads.co.
CyberLeads is essentially a spreadsheet listing contact info of companies that just raised funding and are probably looking to hire help. The service is aimed at agencies on the hunt for new clients.
In his Twitter bio, Alex writes that he “prev built and failed 19 products” over the past 5 years 😰
He also tweeted…
If you feel like you are progressing slowly, don’t worry. Your progress won’t be linear. Most people (and almost myself) give up in year 1 or 2.
