Episode 1600
Episode #1,600! Thank you for being out there! Leave us a quick rating and review. A listener’s review site is starting well, but every day they see how dependent it is on the whims of Google search results. Can anything be done?"Hi, Chris, this is Jay Daniel from Charlotte, North Carolina. I've been listening to your podcast for a few years now, and reading The Money Tree inspired me to start a new Side hustle after a few previous attempts failed. I co-founded a product review website and we see a few grand in revenue every month. We would like to continue growing, but every day it becomes more obvious that we are at the mercy of Google algorithm updates and merchant affiliate programs. We are interested in selling our own digital product like a course or a guide, so that we have a little more direct control over our revenue. But we don't know how to integrate such a product into our existing review site. What is the most efficient way to make a shift like this? Should we start a new site or is there a way to leverage our existing site to develop a revenue stream? We have more control over things for all you do. I look forward to continuing the Side hustle journey with all of your other listeners."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
