Five Figure Niche Site Student Hits $469 in a month - Ben #Best Education Page #Online Earning

we have another success story interview in this one I'm talking to Ben who's

from New Zealand Ben is another five figure niche site student and he's been

able to hit I think six to seven hundred dollars per month now his site is a

little more seasonal so there have been some ups and downs and that sort of

thing but he has sort of proven the model and learned a lot along the way so

we were joined by Ben's daughter as well so you'll see her pop her head in every

now and then basically we get down and talk about how Ben was able to pull this

off and learn a little bit more about you know his link building strategy or

lack thereof we also talk about the key word golden ratio and how it played a

role in his success as well so let's head over to the interview now hey Doug

Huntington here from niche site project and I'm with my friend Ben here then

welcome thanks for joining me today yeah no problem thanks family now the

reason why I invited you here is you're a student a five-figure

a niche site which is awesome thanks for enrolling in the course but you're also

you know a success story so can you share some of your success yeah I can't

who is that that's alright we could you can say hello as well this one little

girl Sienna alright she's the reason that I'm getting into all this actually

you know I don't want to spend more time with her so you know try not try to get

there hey see you know what's up so now we have you know some earnings and some

traffic to share so can you just lay it on us before we back into the story yeah

sure so I'm learning is one thing which is probably a wee bit of a mistake when

I started it's kind of a seasonal thing so earnings are kind of like this but I

can give you their earnings so I'll start with this month so far this month

out of 220 which is great yet this month 214 last month 283 may was 469 8 479

March 167 February 81 and January 260 so so that's cool sounds like some up and

down basically you know you're you're hitting

some multi hundred dollar levels and you like you know it can work which is like

one of the biggest things right yeah it's a bit of an emotional roller

coaster with that what's the seasonal thing but yeah I mean it seems to be

working and it's good all right cool and how old's the site right now I would say

it's probably about a year like I hit a cycle for that and just kind of dabbled

and it wasn't serious and sold that and started this one and again kind of

dabbled and and then sort of since I found your course it's started to take

off so awesome cool well congratulations I know hitting those like sort of

milestones pretty exciting and you know it sounds like you're learning a lot

along the way so you know now it's not bad to have something seasonal by the

way for everyone like it's not bad it's just the expectations are uncertain

sometimes so well tell us a little bit about yourself

I detect an accent and so are you from Texas is that from New Zealand and

marketing and graphic design for a real estate company over here I've got this

little person to take care of and it's got into this you know I don't want to

be on the red on the on the wheel of the hamster wheel for the rest of my life so

I go into this as a way to try and get off so cool do you remember when you

first heard about niche sites or affiliate marketing or anything like

that yeah it was I don't know where I found but I found something about review

sites with that Erica stone and I sort of I got one of her courses and made up

a review and I think I was pretty lucky that it actually sort of ended up making

like a tiny bit of money I thought okay this is pretty cold and just yeah since

then of sort of being on and off but you know learning learning learning so much

ever since I'm alright it helped how long ago did you like launch your very

first site probably two and a half to three years ago okay okay so you had a

couple couple tries and as you get more and more yeah not not

very serious and like I'm I didn't know what I was doing right really and by the

way like do you have any mistakes that you made that you want to share that

maybe so other people won't make them probably probably quite a lot I guess it

at the start like I mean just just your your kid the key word golden ratio is

just you know it's a pretty much most of the traffic comes from that cool just

help me sleep I think if I yeah if I had my time again I probably wouldn't do

seasonal sure just because yeah you have the up times that you also have the low

times I guess perhaps it evens out but you know I guess it's an emotional

roller coaster probably preferable and it's a little tough to you know to

balance it out cuz sometimes you you may have a site where you could like add

other products but like sort of balance it but sometimes like I don't know what

your site is but if it's like we just had the fourth of July here if it's like

fireworks or something like there's only gonna be a couple times of year times of

the year word that's relevant you know so well very good

now do you aside from the key word golden ratio is there anything else that

you think like was really like essential for the success keyword research I

think's quite a big one which is obviously comes down to the KTR to be

honest most weren't like the courses fantastic but most of what I done it's

just it's just Katie yeah probably I guess that's one thing I need to talk to

you is like been listening to you videos about 200 articles you had most of the

reviews I don't I don't think I've actually done any reviews with the kgr

yet so I've seen a couple other stats and maybe my conversions are not as good

as they could be but well actually that may be you know I can give you some

advice right now it's part of the question here so the fact that you don't

have many you're saying you don't have many buyers keywords with the kgr is

that right so I have a lot of my compare it like

versus and yeah those sorts of a lot of those ones are bringing in a lot of

traffic when I say a lot you know I love them either

sure um okay so I think the vs. are you could consider those like product a

versus product B those are usually pretty good for kgr terms as far as a

buyer's keywords so those are pretty good if you can find more of sort of a

format of best product type for a specific use or a specific user don't

usually work out pretty well now the fact that you aimed for like mostly

informational topics and keywords that's pretty that's a good thing those are

usually less competitive and you're making some sales now the reason your

conversion rates probably a little lower is because you are you know you're

making sales through informational articles but if you add you know more

affiliate review content you should be able to you know boost that conversion

rate and get traffic that is you know more eager to buy now don't go overboard

or anything you want to keep it about 50/50 so that you have a nice balance

but going for the informational topics is a good move so you know to do that

first and then you add more affiliate content I mean you should be able to

grow quite a bit especially you know your site's a year old you're out of the

sandbox you're getting traffic like it all works out at the end

money I can start outsourcing things

how's it going Sienna you having fun all right now what's the weather like there

it's winter at the moments but today he just seconds to be a sunny day I think

that's it's like the the most dismal month that we've had on wrinkle and so

that's been fun oh wow it is summer here it is very warm I think it's like one of

the hottest days here in Bozeman so I'm like we don't have air conditioning like

in this house because it's not warm that like often so I'm like sweating so if I

look shiny I literally am just sitting you're sweating

I had to close the door so the fans and stuff don't make too much noise

so yeah I'm literally sweating alright so you mentioned like one or two

mistakes before but you know I think we we realized there were a couple others

that we can learn from so tell us about you know one of the other mistakes that

you realize you know it's solvable and it really helped when you took care of

it well definitely site speak that was like I know this we know I don't put a

bit of focus on that you know in my ratings we're not you know quite a lot

and you know a lot of them too I still there's probably still a lot to learn

like I know my size that's reasonably reasonably quick I like to but quicker

but you know you'd pay just got like 60 seconds to load it's my experience it's

not gonna it's just not gonna rain right I just watched a video with Neil

Patel and he mentioned you know having a site loading under 4.6 seconds like

that's the average so if you're like faster than the average then that's

you're in decent shape so you know if you can improve on what what are some of

your tips on improving the site speed that you bring across kind of this is

more you know plugins like tables the thing that really bugs me is Amazon API

gets quite slow you know I had this one post I had like and comparison post was

quite long that had like 15 to 20 products and it was horrible my shirt in

15 seconds just about sir gotcha and what am i I had issues with site speed

myself and like the two main things it's like the images were too big so I had

like huge images which you know it's easy to make images smaller but it's

like kind of a pain to mess with so if you have small images and then the other

is like just upgrading your your hosting package so you're on like not a shared

hosting what would you start getting traffic like you're getting you know

it's time to upgrade you can afford it and stuff like that and the response

times just faster so good tip there you're starting

to make a little money like you understand that it works now how has

this like impacted your life you know when you think about now that you can

make some money in this enough for like you know it's up and down but you know

you can maybe make a car payment or go on vacation or something so how has it

changed your life I mean that's given me focus because if I can make $500 in it's

no reason I can't make you know $1,000 and I can't make 2,000 like by following

the process and so it's given me a bit of that focus and I guess it's a bit of

a double-edged sword but one thing with it with the US dollar it's you know it's

worth a whole lot more here so which is great I don't have to you know huge

numbers and US dollars to get good numbers and New Zealand Dollars so

that's pretty cool but on the flip side is cost of that more to pay freelancing

interesting yeah and what is the exchange rate I have no clue I think

it's about to it you know a New Zealand Dollars about 2/3 to the US dollar so I

get one my third-favorite didn't do a Stoller so that's pretty cool yeah that

is that is pretty good awesome well do you have any tips or advice for people

that maybe they're just getting started or maybe they just launched their site

yeah one thing I've also found is like he

would research as hard in the respect that a lot of the software it's just not

accurate you know like they'll say yeah I've got a keyword this is 100 searches

a month when it's bringing in a thousand and three weeks I'm pretty impression so

right it's yeah it's a bit tough with keyword research but just for me it's

just like follow that KTR follow the processes and it's worked for me so and

all the line so you're a student of five figure niche site and obviously you took

another course and you had other like stuff that you knew and research

beforehand so before you took five figure niche site where there are some

things that you struggled with they you know you've figured out while taking

the course and working with me getting traffic really you know like it was you

know I go up I find the key word and I use keyword finder or Mars or whatever

it was and I it looks good so I run article and nothing so you know and then

found the course the good thing about the courses that is like processes so

you can just kind of follow up and that's what I was looking for so link

building what have you done is for his link building to be honest my link

buildings been feeling minimal I kind of dabbled a wee bit getting links I think

I've got went from the Hoff and it was and I had someone doing a little bit of

outreach for me I've done a little bit of blog commenting but it's it's one

thing I haven't done but one thing I realized I need to focus on a bit more

so I've I've smoked pretty much you need all those all the traffic that I'm

getting I haven't don't let's do personally gotcha

and you hired someone for outreach so can you tell us about that just a little

bit like worth are they outreach experts and how did it work for you made a

person at work I didn't really get the response I wanted I did find someone who

was reasonable and she would seem to to the average she would see me links and

there's a site good so I check all that make sure it's and trial you know I try

my best so you see that it wasn't a PB in or I'm you know it's getting organic

traffic and and whatnot you know looked over at as best I could

and I mean it was expensive that's what it was and it's hard to say whether that

really worked on on that particular I was sort of focusing on one post it's

over eight is in the top ten I don't know how much it helped but yeah

definitely overall for the main authority and whatnot mine's pretty

probably quite low for us below then opens it to be anyway

and do you happen to remember like about how much it costs to get like one link

yeah I mean compared to the hostel was great because Hoth was one experiences

into rubbish often ended up putting like a blog directory us but anyway and it

was probably about 100 to 120 US dollars for domain Authority 4050 other there's

you know it wasn't too bad um he dollars to pay the freelancer and often like a

40 $50 submission visa okay and you got it sounds like just a

couple links or something from that person yeah didn't seem too bad but the

bit had to scowl and I just need to put a bit more focus on it to be honest

sure sure and by the way I was gonna say I've found that I've had really good

luck with people that are not outreach folks and they're just like an admin or

an assistant and then I give them the process and train them and it takes

longer but they don't have any like preconceived notions about like how to

do outreach or SEO they're just following the steps that give them and

it makes it curious yep sorry admin curiosity do do you hire native speaking

person to do that sort of stuff yeah so typically what happened in my situation

was I had writers working on you know content and then they finished up with

the content I was like hey you guys want to do something interesting something a

little different and I'll pay by the hour instead and I'll have to train you

and they said sure so they were literally just writers so they were my

you know us-based writers I think one was in like the Virginia area one was in

like Arizona or sorry New Mexico out of Santa Fe and they were

they were just writers who could communicate well write emails and follow

directions that's what you need so yeah okay you were telling me about this like

search term that only gets like a hundred and ten

searches as reported through a keyword tool but you get a lot more traffic so

can you tell us a little bit about like that situation and like what you

expected and then what actually happened yep sure for me personally the keyword

difficulty and Mountain C searches is a wee bit of a lottery you know like the

search term is yeah like a 110 on was the keywords anywhere and even in

keyword finder and but it's bringing me you know fifteen hundred it clicks a

week and admittedly it does have a whole lot of keywords that are ranked for but

you know and win masses I'll checked and that's like it's it's it's not even

close and you know keyword difficulty in the armor and I showed Doug I think a

post which is like 800 words and I just saw is a kg outer cell what's up the up

and it was one you know friends and a whole lot of traffic and but the inward

difficulties you know says it's quite tough to rank for but I'm number one for

it so interesting yeah very cool and it's like it goes against everything

that we would think right so it's a lower search volume term the keyword

difficulty score is relatively high you have kind of short content and it's

bringing in a ton of traffic is it your highest traffic like page it's one of

them yeah we're talking about previously it's the highest but that's it something

yeah cool so and this is you know one of the reasons why it's like you just kind

of have to go for the kg are if you just publish like two posts may not work out

for you but if you publish like 20 or more like so now interesting things are

gonna happen and you're not gonna win everything and you should just sort of

focus on the ones that are doing well and like make those even better so

before we go I know you were gonna look up traffic and just kind of give people

an idea of like what your traffic was like and we'll we'll get screenshots and

stuff but can you just kind of tell us about the traffic to go along with your

revenue yeah sure well at the moment which is kind of pink time for me the

last weight loss I've probably been doing

between six and eight hundred people a day okay so it's good for me

yeah and that's been earning me you know between you know between turn five

hundred dollars a month so it's a little bit inconsistent during the week like

the weekends perform a whole lot better but cool that's awesome and you

mentioned before like this month you've already made like two hundred plus

dollars right and yeah for reference it is the sixth of the month so very early

in the month and it looks like this could be a record month for you right

yeah if things continue like that it will be you know there's a lot of the

months to go so it's pretty exciting excellent excellent

very cool well I was talking to Ben and we realized that he doesn't really have

anywhere where you could follow him but he is in the Facebook group for five

figure niche sites so if you happen to you know be in that group or if you are

a you know future or upcoming student you may be able to see some of his posts

and stuff like that in the Facebook group so it is closed off just in

general but Ben thanks a lot really appreciate you and Sienna taking some

time today any you know parting words to people who are eager to get started just

learn as much as you can yeah Katie are as funny Sean oh I keep

going on about it but it's just that's what worked for me so and learn just

learn that's what I've been doing and it's been great

all right thanks Ben really appreciate it and you know maybe in a few months

we'll get an update from you see how things are going so yeah thanks
