Great news…we were able to pull up the “as-built” plan from 2001 when they poured the foundation.

Turns out distance from foundation to property line is 21 feet (not 30).

I went by to measure from foundation to newly installed fence yesterday and it’s all clear.

Turns out “none of the GIS mapping services such as Google Earth, Google Maps, Mass Mapper…etc have property lines depicted to survey grade accuracy. All of them compile property and right of way lines from various sources.”…supposedly notoriously wrong.

Here's your 365 day blueprint to making 6-figures a year online in 2023 👇🏼

The simple way.

Simple, but not easy... Step 1:

Pick a social.

Could be Twitter, Instagram, Facebook...just pick one.

For the next 6 months straight you're going to post at least once a day.

No missed days.

6 months.

No blog. No newsletter. No distractions.

Just social.

I made an active decision to be less active on Twitter recently, and up until a moment ago I didn't feel comfortable sharing why.

My site was in the final 13 days of a 3+ month sale process. The buyer had an SBA loan approved to buy my site for a low-7 figure amount... The closing was set for Feb 15th. My attorney had already provided her feedback on the Asset Purchase Agreement and we were just waiting on the buyers attorney to reflect those changes, and then sign-off.

I found out last night the buyers decide to back out after 3 months.

After a few days of getting Niche Twins @PayPal set up, confirming the two deposits from PayPal to my bank account etc. I get this message 😂😂😂

Why are most/all payment providers absolute trash? So after 45 min on hold/on call with PayPal they were unable to tell me why my account is having issues.

They submitted it to their “business review board”. 3-5 business days before I hear back.

I have near perfect credit, several bank accounts, handful of credit cards etc.

So Ezoic added a video platform/network called Humix this year, and I was just poking around in it this AM... my site has done nearly 1MM plays in the last 30 days

If you're using Ezoic, here's a quick intro to Humix...#sponsored Humix allows you to upload videos to a library you control within Ezoic, and then monetize those videos in two main ways.

1. You can use the video on your own site and keep a higher percentage of the ad revenue than say YouTube

Had to try AvatarAI by @levelsio. Incredible how realistic some of these are. The next ten years are going to be wild. It wasn’t perfect, some of the images were funny/scary 🤣

Display ads get a bad rep.

Yes, they can be annoying, make your site not look as good, etc. But they can also make you a good amount of money.

Here's a list of folks I enjoy following who share what they earn with display ads, and show us all what's possible... @NicheSiteLady

I just finished an amazing Authority Hacker interview with Kevin Espiritu.

You may not know Kevin, but I bet you've heard of his business, Epic Gardening.

EG is doing 7.5MM/yr in revenue and recently got a 17.5MM investment from The Chernin Group.

Here are my takeaways... 1. You can't avoid taking risks

Ex 1:

Kevin was making just ~$400 a month back in 2016 when he decided to go all in on Epic Gardening.

At that point Epic was only a blog, and ad networks weren't really a thing. They paid terribly, so he was betting on affiliate marketing.

This apple picking farm will make WELL over $100,000 today alone 🤯… What an operation.

$47 bucks for 20lbs of apples and a hay ride

$34 bucks for 10lbs of apples and a bay ride

And that’s just the start…

I’ll personally write & publish 35+ posts this month (10+ on site #1, 25+ on site #2).

Here are 4 things I do that make publishing a lot easier… 1. Keyword research in sprints

I keep my writing and keyword research completely separate.

I often dedicate multiple days to just doing keyword research.

I always have a list of 50-100 keywords, but more importantly…

The true cost of half-assing a project… When I hear “half-ass a project”, I immediately assign half the final outcome to that project, because my brain has a bias for linear thinking.

But the end result is almost always MUCH worse than that…

So, I was a bit snarky earlier when asked how I find interesting sites (I'm working on that).

But since I've decided to no longer share the sites I come across, here is how I go down the Google rabbit hole and pull out a rabbit... It's incredibly simple.

Start by thinking of a RANDOM topic. Now think of a question you might have in that niche.

For example:

Topic: Basketball
Question: How to spin basketball on finger?

This message is meant for a small subset of my followers…

Keith (@patientpublish) personally wrote 15 posts a month, for the past 10 months straight.

That’s 150 posts (230,000 words), all while working an incredibly demanding full time job in biotech. That’s early mornings, and late nights, for nearly a year - all before he made his first dollar online.

Anyone who has earned a dollar online, knows this journey intimately.

Sorry to be a tease but I just stumbled upon a niche with the most low comp, high vol keywords I've ever seen before. I had to cut the list off but it just keeps going...

And these are actually low comp kws, I've been digging through the SERPs and the quality is pretty awful... Here is one site in the niche with 8MM monthly visitors...

Starting a thread of various niche sites I’ve discovered recently that are killing it.

Monday morning motivation … Wealthy Gorilla - portfolio of sites covering self-development, supplements, and video games.

When I first announced I was moving from AdThrive to Ezoic I got mixed feedback.

Someone with a semi-large following even replied “LOL” to the announcement 😂.

Here’s what I think was missed/misunderstood…and maybe still is… 1. Ezoic takes 10%, AdThrive takes 25%. AdThrive was taking ~6k a month out of my earnings and wouldn’t budge at all on their %.

Ezoic just had to do as good as AdThrive for me to take home 15% more each month. More money in my pocket, not AdThrives.

Wow. PacSun just signed a new deal with a young influencer whose been growing in popularity lately.

She has nearly 40 million views on YouTube, but her face makes me UNCOMFORTABLE.

Here’s why… Meet Miquela,

She just replaced Emma Chamberlain, one of the most popular YouTube creators of all time, as the new “face” of the PacSun brand…

You might remember Miquela from 2018, as one of TIMES most influential people on the internet. Except she’s not…

Some idiot is impersonating me: @NicheDown0

Can you please take a moment to report them for me? Here’s how and thank you

Surely a big time brand ranks #1 for a big time money keyword like "golf simulator" (100,000+ monthly searches), right?

Nah. Nope. Negative.

Here's how 4 year old content site (blog!), TheLeftRough(dot)com is taking a piece of the $6.51 billion golf equipment market... Started in late 2018, this site has grown pretty steadily over the past few years.

Ahrefs has it at 400,000 monthly pageviews, but I wouldn't be surprised if this site was actually doing over 1MM page views a month...

Shaan Puri describes 2 types of opportunities - windows & doors

With windows, you see the opportunity fully for what it is. It’s right there, out in front of you.

Doors are far less clear. You have to knock first. They’re often empty on the other side.

But… if you knock on enough doors you’ll eventually open one up to the opportunity of a life time.

An opportunity you couldn’t see, and never would have predicted.

I use to only pursue windows…

Everyone complains about popular niches being saturated, but here's a 3 year old site in the fishing niche getting 200,000+ visitors a month.

It ranks for money keywords like:
-fish finder
-fishing backpack
-best fishing sunglasses
-best lures for bass

YourBassGuy(dot)com 👇 This site has a really similar timeline/growth trajectory as mine.

We both started right around the beginning of 2020 and it wasn't until ~2 years in that the site started to really pop.
