Keyword Research
Keysearch is the most affordable keyword research tool on the market today and it GETS THE JOB DONE. Stop paying 100+ dollars a month on tools built for enterprise clients (Disclosure: Keith and I have a minority stake in this company)
Training
You don’t NEED to pay for a course in order to find success blogging. We never paid for a course. Most everything you need is free online in various places. But the reality is, not everyone learns that way. They want more detail, guidance and structure. Jon’s course provides that and is 100% aligned with our process and approach to content sites. Oh, and Jon is making $100,000+ A MONTH with his sites…
Note: Jon only opens this course 6 times a year, for a week each time BUT if you put in your email you’ll have immediate limited access to sign-up!
Link Building
We’ve now worked with the Linkifi team across 3 of our sites and landed numerous 80 & 90+ DR white-hat, PR-level links the right way. Linkifi is now the ONLY link building service that we recommend.
Hosting
If you’re just starting out, Bluehost is great. It’s incredibly affordable, and it gets the job done. Both of us started our blogs on Bluehost!
Once you start to get a decent amount of traffic, we highly recommend you move over to Cloudways. Cloudways is FAST, has a 99% uptime, and can handle a ton of traffic. And all at a great price! It’s the host we both use today.
Selling
If you’re thinking of selling your website, we highly recommend QuietLight. Mike used QuietLight when he sold his content site for high 6-figures. You’ll be assigned an experienced broker who will manage everything from evaluating how much your site is worth and listing it for sale, to negotiating the final sale price and closing the deal.
