we have another success story interview in this one I talked to Adrian who's a
five-figure niche site student and he's had great luck with his first site now
cool thing is he only has like 14 pieces of content 14 or 15 pieces of content
and he just crossed the hundred dollar mark so without further ado let's get to
the interview hey what's up Doug here and I'm sitting with my friend Adrian

results as far as revenue and your traffic to your site the site just made
their last month hundred my first hundred dollars a month
it was hundred and three dollars that was really really nice and then I have I
just checked today the statistics and I have like between 60 and 70 people daily
coming to the website which is which is really unexpected for me I didn't
believe this is going to work god that's cool so if I'm doing the math right
that's about about 2,000 people per month or so that's it yes awesome okay
that's really cool congratulations I know crossing that hundred dollar mark
is sort of a milestone although artificial but congratulations that's a
huge point now yeah one thing I remember and people are gonna be watching this on

yeah I definitely remember it and I think it's amazing that we're sitting
here talking so for people that are in the audience this is I mean this happens
right so enough of that let's hear more about you Adrienne so where were you
from where do you live what's your full-time job because you still have a
full-time job of course so let's hear about you personally
yeah well originally I'm from Romania I left Romania 15 years ago I lived in
Spain for 10 years and six years ago I moved to London which I'm currently
living in London I'm working in construction industry i subcontract
listings like heavy lifting with cranes and all that stuff very very nice job I
really like it it's like playing with the toys for big boys yeah that's right
for the last year and a half I dedicate myself between 12 hours shift on my
cranes family you know I dedicate a little bit of time on the website as
well which I'm really really committed to you know make it happen for me as
well very good do you remember when you first heard
about affiliate marketing or niche sites or anything like that it was actually a
couple of months before I heard about you that was I was just talking with my
missus in you know those late-night talks it just before you go to sleep and
she said to me we should do something you know online because she doesn't want
to go back to work she was pregnant with the baby so then that's when I started
to look online about how to make money online and I discovered Alex our friend
WPA Eagle and from him I saw your first video with you talking about the website
that you sold and that that just pumped me up so much I really needed to meet
you to meet what you were doing and know more about niche sites which by that
time I never had a niche site I didn't know what even niche was the meaning of
niche okay cool so if I'm doing my math that was like about one year ago you
were following our friend Alex Cooper over at WP Eagle will link up to his
channel I did a collaboration with him you found me watch some of my stuff got
it so you're only about a year in that's that's yeah about a year so yeah it you
know July last year that was June or July okay yeah yeah Wow this right about
a year so yeah did you start any sites before you started working on
five-figure a niche site with me and not seriously I did follow some some
tutorials even some Alex stories but this is making just playing around with
you know with all press and creating something but nothing I didn't know what
I was doing but basically okay so that's why when I find out about you I said I
need something more because I'm a very methodic guy so I need something to be
you know I need to follow some steps that's what I liked when when when I
heard about you and then I started to follow up to follow you on YouTube
that's what I liked about what you're doing because you have you have a plan
basically right and I was gonna say I know a lot of people they have all this
information right you've studied a lot you you knew you wanted to pursue it but
there's like a thousand things that you could do and you needed the framework to
guide you through it with a blueprint and so you know they're not wasting your
time okay very good all right so let's get into the
nitty-gritty and talk about you know content and link building and all the
good stuff all the gory details so from a Content standpoint did you have a
specific approach that you know helps attract traffic to help you format and
all that stuff what's your approach with content on the content I have I
obviously use a lot decay gyah system that you have most of my posts are
actually ranking on page one because of the kgr then when it comes to the
content I have sometimes I hire someone to make research for what I need and
then I I take over the article and edit it and make everything nice
and I give Google what they love to see you know nice format not you don't need
to have block of text I add media YouTube videos the keywords that I need
you know at the beginning somewhere in the title something and somewhere and
basically I follow the step by step process as well overnight when I create
every single article I'm very very methodical about this as well gotcha
okay cool and for the you know you mentioned the the kgr which is the key
word golden ratio for people that are not familiar again I could link for more
information on that stuff so when you are publishing one of those articles how
many times do you use the like that long phrase the key word throughout your your
posts how often do you use it I don't use it more than three times I do it
once on my H h1 tag if it makes sense I use it on the first paragraph I don't
want to force it as well because then you will look for sandpeople I don't
like it personally so I guess people doesn't like it either once in the h1
once in the first paragraph if I have the chance then I try to use use it
again on another H tag down the line another time are they at the end of the
article that sounds good I was gonna say I usually only use it like twice and
it's been it's good to hear you you know confirm what I believe too but
a lot of people use like an SEO plugin like the Yoast plug-in and they may use
very long phrase like what's the best ballpoint pen for bullet journaling for
a college student yeah use it like at times
hey and it sounds really weird and you know people may not like it but even
worse Google doesn't like it so people will never even be able to like no one
will ever find it so the guiding principle here don't listen to you if
you're doing like kgr research all right so as far as like keyword research you
know obviously you're using the keyword golden ratio you're applying the formula
do you have any tips for people like trying to find keywords especially like
beginners who maybe don't they're having trouble finding any kgr terms so what
tips yeah I'm assuming that if you're a beginner you're not gonna have
paid Tunes what I used to use a lot it's the you will suggest even if when you
put a keyword that you need to find in ubersuggest even they give you the whole
keywords that they find for that you need to waste it's not wasting time but
you need to go in you know check every single one and do your mods
unfortunately the kgr it works because there's no machine that can do it so you
need to dedicate a full day maybe you know when when before you go and make
let's say a list of five posts that you want to write about dedicate a full day
that's what I do I dedicate a full day just doing
research on your passages I used to do histories a lot as well the Google
Keyword planner even though it doesn't give you the right locally monthly
searches it's good for you to get ideas from and another good thing that I got a
good idea for you to pick up some easy to find kgr terms is to go down in the
related searches exactly at the related searches and then you find really really
nice terms sure and I think a lot of times I mean you know we're going over
the coursework basically here for a five-figure niche site which is fine but
basically at that point it's like you start with some seed keyword that maybe
you found on uber suggests right and then or maybe you got an idea from the
keyword planner right and then you could hop over search it in Google and then
see the related searches which tell you you know just other obviously related
search autosuggest is really good as well right along the same you know
thought process - okay cool really good tips and actually let's go back do you
remember like was it pretty tough to find keyword golden ratio terms when you
first got started no you wasn't yeah I just got it I mean alright I
probably didn't understood the whole process the whole idea about Acadia but
I did understand that you need to find let's say you need to find for word
keyword that has let's say 20 local month
researches and then you just need to put your all inside so call in and the
keyword at you you are searching for and that's it if that's less if that the I
was it the LMS / the Olin title otherwise I'd be other way around it's
less than point when t five then there you go you have a keyword that you can
use for for your website yes got it okay very good now let's shift gears over to
like link building and stuff and I know you and I actually had a coaching
session a few months back to just sort of like help you jump start
that process so can you tell us about your approach with link building and you
know how much link building you've actually done over the you know the past
nine months or so I've heard you talking about the grant cardone
book as well 10x and it's all about massive action so that's what I did when
we when we got to the part of the course where we're talking about the link
building I just went again with everything that I
had and I made in maybe two weeks I made hundreds of blog commenting in like
hundreds of blogs but then I needed to shift a little bit I need to learn the
about the guest posting process it was really tough because of the fear that we
all have of being rejected I guess but then I realized that as soon as I
started to send a few emails and actually I was lucky that the people
answered me back saying either Adrian at the moment I'm not interested or Adrian
at the moment we don't accept any guest posts the more I was getting rejected I
was getting more confident I don't know if it makes sense right it you got used
to like hearing that it in fact I think when we met I think I was like 90% of
the people are going to reject you some of them are gonna be really rude
about it too by the way but yeah you got over it so the more you tried you just
you got better at right yeah definitely yeah then I don't have too many guest
posts out there to be honest because so I have about 15 posts on my blog right
now and 14 of them are on page one without any
link building so I'm in team turtle and 14 are on page one what yeah Wow so it's
it's really amazing that I didn't need link building as of guest posting to
rank those articles I really wanted to learn how to do it and actually I got
someone on on a big blog to accept get exposed and it went very well I have two
guest posts very good and I think like well the other thing to mention and
maybe I'm jumping ahead a bit here but I know you worked really hard on the site
for like the first say four or five months and then life got busy for you
right like yeah so like I imagine you know you took that massive action you
started laying the groundwork to get guest post you got to which is good
that's great yeah and then you know you've had to put
a pause on that a little bit right so do you think you could have done more if
you were able to you know just have more time to dedicate to it definitely
definitely I believe that guest posting it works
but at the same time it's such a time-consuming you know process because
you need to find the blogs you need to build a relationship with these guys and
then after maybe two months of you know changing comments and all that you say
hey Doug you wanna you know would you accept a guest post and see the guy
would say oh yeah sorry but Adrian but I don't I don't accept any guest posts or
anything like that but I'm sure it's I mean I'm I seen this business that you
are you know internet marketing I see how you guys work together you know and
the networking that you do and all that and it works it works so if I have more
time I would definitely go and do more you know outreach that's can I think I
mean to that end right I mean that proves the value of like those links
right so they're so hard to get you have to put time into it and people generally
don't like it because you know just to take the steps like you talked about
just to get the sort of courage to send out those emails to get the rejections
and and you know what happens sometimes is
you may send them a guest post and then they never publish it so here you've
invested all this time and then it just doesn't
yeah yeah I know I know what that would that happened to me a couple of months
ago where it was a little bit my mistake as well but we get to to that part when
when maybe you want me to share some mistakes that's a good transition so
what mistakes have you made that maybe we can learn from your mistakes and
hopefully you won't make him again but yeah let's hear some of your mistakes
Eve made I tell you two of them I made two mistakes that I recall one was at
the beginning when I was so eager to start with everything so I needed to
have my I wanted to have everything ready and I haven't done the competition
research or competition analysis properly so once I just went and I said
you know what I just I'm gonna talk about something that I know around the
my construction site for example so I took that item I took that a tool that I
that we use on site and I said I'm gonna talk about this and then my surprise was
that when I went and check my sites and check my rocks and competition and
everything I said oh my goodness I have competition my competitors I like the
sweet home the wire cutter and I don't know yeah I said I don't know if I'm
gonna make it so I that was that was my first mistake take the time the proper
time to make the competition analysis okay and I think I mean obviously that
is a really important thing to check out but really interesting thing right like
you were able to overcome it through the keyword golden ratio and in another
interview that will come out around the same time period
I talked to Graham who's another student and he also was able to take an existing
site where he didn't do the proper competition research and was able to you
know turn it into like fourteen fifteen hundred dollars a month over the course
of a few months kgr articles all right so that's oh that's amazing it was
amazing alright so that was the first mistake
not doing enough competition research what's the second mistake that I
remember really well because was a little bit embarrassing as well it was
that I was exchanging emails with the blogger his side is quite big he
accepted a guest post so what I did I win and I made a very beautiful article
for him I send it to him and just five minutes later I said Adrian I so love it
I want it job done I said ok happy days I made I made a guest post but another
five minutes later he sent me an email back again saying that it was full of
mistakes full of errors grammar errors that was because I didn't have this
grammar leap program installed on my computer so as well the mistake was that
I didn't went to the article and read it again because I was so excited so pumped
up there oh my god I have an article on this big blog and it was going to be so
nice and he said it's going to be so much work for me that I really don't
want to spend the time and you know rearrange it oh yeah that was the best
dating man that's a rough one I've been will link up grammarly I've
been testing it out like the premium version here recently and basically it's
a chrome plug-in that works within WordPress
it also has native applications for Mac I think Windows and it'll check like
your Gmail as you're typing it'll check comments within YouTube is your
commenting on YouTube yeah and real I mean I had I've used it and I've used
the premium version a couple years ago but it was a little buggy I had some
issues with it while I was using it however I've been using it for the last
month or so and it's awesome like I'm fine really good all sorts of mistakes
so do you use the premium version no it's the free one is the free one and
it's really good for what it for what it does I mean my English is not my first
language and obviously I have mistakes where I need to put instead of on I put
in and vice versa or any any kind of those sure silly mistakes right and it
catches I mean just the free version every
it will catch those mistakes and I actually make a lot of just typing
errors and so you'll end up with you know missed commas or commas where you
don't need them or maybe one of my mistakes I'll type in you instead of
your so and it's just it's a correct word so when I just skim it it doesn't
pop up the grammar early will catch it now if you want the premium version it
checks like even more for you and you could also do a like check for
plagiarism as well so if that's a concern for people you can't pay I mean
it's not I think it's like a hundred bucks a year 120 bucks a year so I mean
it's cheaper than an editor like a hundred percent oh yeah so maybe we'll
link up to that and I'm just excited about grammerly because I liked it
before but it just wasn't robust in it it was buggy but now works great so yeah
so you're - mistakes were get a proof read you always got a proof read your
stuff before you send it out or yeah scream really and and don't get too
excited so well it's good that you you know you learned from it so now you know
you gotta send your best stuff is your guest post right definitely yes yes I
mean I what I did after after that I just took the article and put it on my
blog anyway it's a really good article it's how to do something a process and I
believe is branding somewhere and on somewhere on the second page somewhere
Google very good so wasn't a total waste but I'm sure yeah you go hurt a little
bit for all right so let's shift gears again and talk about the impact to your
life so I know it's you know a hundred dollars and the last month is not enough
for you to quit your job unfortunately but how has it impacted your life first
of all I made my wife stop laughing because she said she said this is not
gonna work this is just a joke obviously now she believes in me and she's very
excited because what this does I remember like it was yesterday you
talking about when we started the training or for when you when I was
listening to you on YouTube is like when you start doing this stuff is going to
take you from here to maybe from affiliate marketing to SEO
you're gonna get in love of the SEO then you're gonna do something else and so
many ideas pops up in my in my head I mean we talked about this as well on a
chat session or as well on a code session and this is going to change my
life in a way that now with my wife we we making our one product so we're
waiting for the people that work for us in Brazil to send us the our product and
we're gonna make an e-commerce site as well so we can sell it and then we try
Amazon maybe we're gonna try some Amazon FBA know hopefully this is going to
change my life in in year or two years time hopefully the people who are
watching this video they're not gonna think that this is a you know get
overnight get rich overnight think you know it takes a lot of time and
dedication and you know but it is going to happen if you really want it badly
like I do he's going to happen sooner or later very cool that's awesome about the
the product you know branching out and for the people who you know I'll explain
a little bit more about what you're talking about so basically let's say you
you have a full-time job and you're you're doing that you know maybe you're
even learning a few new things and it's kind of interesting but like once you
start doing something totally different for example like working on a niche site
where you figure out how I can make money online working like on my own
terms and there's no like company or
corporation that you're working for other than say like Amazon for example
but there's no one that you're reporting to and you could sort of like design
your own situation however you want to and then once you get there right you
learn a bunch of skills and you have a different view of like your whole life
right you have a bunch of different opportunities so as you mentioned you
learn SEO you're learning about content you learned how to hire people you learn
how to get traffic to your website you learn how to do outreach and any one of
those things could be a full-time job you can set up an SEO agency you can
make probably multi six figures doing guest posting services because as you
see it's pretty hard and if you could do that for Generation
or company ecommerce site that needs like blog content and they have revenue
to invest in outreach well then you can do that right so any one of these
individual things you can get into or like the whole WordPress ecosystem right
so you recent I mean it was only a year ago when you learned about WordPress
right yeah yeah never never never used it before yeah
and now you could like set up a website for someone that'll look pretty darn
good and you know that could be a full-time job for someone too
so the point is like once you start taking action you'll have a different
view to be able to take advantage of like potential opportunities whatever
you want them to be like exactly exactly it's it's really amazing because it you
know is it really opens your mind to what are the opportunities what other
things are out there I mean when now that I know the things that I know I say
to myself and what I was in the last 20 years what I was doing in the last 15
years you know why I didn't start earlier you know yeah that that's right
it's amazing it's funny I think the same thing but at least we've we found it cuz
I know some of my friends yeah like they they're stuck because they have a bunch
of cars and stuff so anyway we're going out fun - tangent so we'll move it back
in now Adrian you've been in this for about a year you're seeing some you know
the start of success it looks like you're growing for people that haven't
started or maybe they've just gotten started what tips do you have for them
to help sort of replicate the success that you've seen one thing that I that
makes more difference the most difference in this is that you need to
take action definitely because you see many people and I've seen this in my
last two weeks three weeks talking with the friends at work and they say oh this
and that you need to stop reading and you need to do something about that you
know so don't just read read for a couple of days and then apply what you
just read because otherwise you'll never learn you're not gonna do it that that's
one of the things you know that's how I feel
productive and that's why I believe I have my little success here and another
thing that I recommend to everyone to do it's get an agenda or diary
or get yourself a whiteboard at home somewhere I have one in my kitchen here
and start planning your day your week your month your ear I mean I didn't show
you understand me because you have project managers so having to put your
actually your task on paper or on the whiteboard some way that makes you
psychologically somehow you need to you need to do them totally agree on both
points of course planning ahead setting goals like yeah hundred hundred percent
on that and then one thing I just want to emphasize again you know you
mentioned taking action over trying to learn more we are bombarded with so much
information you probably if you're watching this you probably have enough
information to take some action I appreciate we both appreciate you
watching us till the end here but a lot of times you have you know what you need
to do in the nuances don't matter yet right if you're trying to learn like the
details of something like outreach right the outreach stuff that you were talking
about Adrian like yeah you probably know enough you won't learn like the nuances
until you get out there and get your hands dirty and that sort of thing now
you know at some point I actually remember another set of emails we
exchanged Adrian this is going way back I have a good memory for emails I guess
that's good you were you were reading some other blogs while you were working
on the course and I had to remind you I said stop reading other stuff right do
you remember this actually I did that and I went one day to lead a session on
Alex blog on Alex YouTube channel and I say oh my god I shouldn't be here right
right we won't we won't tell Alex but you need it like you seriously like
there cuz there's so many possibilities for like all the opportunities you can
go after and sometimes like you know what you need to know just do anything
and then you can come back and learn later now I'm a proponent for learning
of course however just-in-time learning is something you know that came up in my
corporate career a lot so let's say you know you want to learn how to do better
copywriting right but there's no point in you learning it until like
just before so if you read a book on copywriting Adrienne you don't need
copywriting for another year that's kind of a waste right like so just yeah
anyway I'm glad I reeled you back in back then but yeah there's just so much
information and I'm guilty too and a lot of times a lot of times you just end up
down a rabbit hole where you read more and more and you're like do I need to do
that when in fact you probably don't most things you don't need to do yet so
okay excellent point Adrienne all right there's one more thing that I believe
that you just mention it and I do remember when we start the training you
tell all your students that it was like when you go to movie you need to shove
your phones put your own silence you if you guys watching this you need to
decide for just one guru up there and go with it if you go with that
just ignore everyone else if you go with dome or if you go with other big guys
out there just go with them don't don't listen to many people because then
you're gonna go mad and you're not gonna do anything right there's just too much
there's just a lot all right Adrienne thanks for joining us today and you
don't have any platform out there so the best way for people to you know catch up
with you sometimes you're on YouTube livestream and you're in yeah
five-figure niche site Facebook route but you keep a low profile cuz you're a
busy man you're a family man right definitely yes yes if you guys want to
find me and chat a little bit about this just join darhk's course and we can
catch up a lot in on the Facebook group where we actually help each other we
know with a lot of stuff in this area awesome thanks again Adrienne just a
pleasure to talk to you and hopefully we'll get an update in a few months when
you have more going on definitely was a pleasure to talk to you Dawg and
hopefully next time he's not gonna be small success is going to be a huge one
awesome thanks Adrian thanks I think's Adrian appreciate you taking time to
speak with the niche site project community and if anyone has questions
please do leave them in the comments Adrian will check them out and I'll have
a look too so hopefully in a couple months we'll be able to
back on for a follow-up interview Thanks
you
