Live Q&A with Doug Cunnington of Niche Site Project. #Best Education Page #Online Earning

hey hey what's up this is a live Q&A I'm

pulling up everything here I think we

got the the chat room go and I see a

couple questions and they're awesome hey

Sarah hey Toki what's up I hope everyone

can hear me okay I think it's looking

good I was just pulling out my my light

kit

a couple people were asking about it the

other day this is this is the small one

then I talked about the newer 160 and

since I'm buying time right now it makes

sense I can aim to show you you comes

with a rechargeable battery it's pretty

awesome and you could actually mount it

like on top of a DSLR if you want but it

also has like a screw in the bottom

which you can see there and I could just

put it on my little tripod clamp like so

and we're good to go

hey David what's up good to have you on

Richards on as well good to have David

back if you had a cold everyone tell

David we were glad he's feeling better

and while we're just chilling here for a

second I oh there's the lights that's

good this much better

it's tighten this baby up it's like the

sun's shining in my face it's good

though that's good alright I was just

answering emails so that's why I'm

running around and set up the lights

like I was supposed to that's much

better than now isn't it okay Leo's on -

awesome

Adnan Florian oh I haven't seen Florian

uh Peter on for a little while but good

to have you on as well things are good

down there Paul's on what's up so it's

been a pretty busy week overall a couple

things going on like next week I'm not

gonna be doing the two normal live

streams however there's plenty of

content this would have been working

hard on so I actually shot a several

videos so

videos I have some of the cue and I

hired this this great woman in the

Ukraine to edit some videos for me and

she's doing like an awesome job she's

way faster than I am like I don't know

what I'm doing this ticking so freaking

long but like she's doing a great job

she's doing a better job than me and

she's doing it like five times faster or

something so that's I mean I kind of

like editing the video but there's some

something in my workflow and it's like

bad so she's doing really well and that

helped a ton today is a Q&A of course so

you can you know type in questions type

in pound cute when it'll be a little

just slightly easier for me to see you

can ask random questions so I know

sometimes I I roll my eyes when people

ask questions that are completely

unrelated to the topic also sometimes

they're super basic and unrelated to the

topic so the thing is today you can ask

whatever you want so alright and it will

as I'm letting more people hop on I do

have this cool cup right here it's a

coffee mug I think a couple weeks back

maybe David asked me about the coffee

mug and if you if we put it in the right

spot it's actually this it's like a

life-size life-size head so that's

really cool so the reason why I meant to

in the livestreams next week is because

I have some family in town my sister

brother-in-law and their two-year-old

daughter my niece they're coming to

Montana for the first time so we're

gonna head over a couple towns over we

have an air B&B so I'll get out of my

normal area I will bring my laptop but

I'm planning on not using it unless like

some website of mine you know the server

explodes or something which can happen

but I just want to make sure that have

the ability to do something if I have to

but I'm hoping to just like totally

unplug your

play some board games we will drink some

beer probably a decent amount of whiskey

with bourbon and scotch my

brother-in-law's Sam he really enjoys a

PD you know whiskey a very PD scotch so

alright I see people are asking

questions I'm just rambling on but I do

have family in town really looking

forward to that and I'm really looking

forward to unplugging and like sort of

decompressing I mean it takes me a good

24 to 48 hours like away from work just

to sort of slow down a little bit and

hopefully I'm gonna read some fiction

books I'm gonna load up my Kindle with

some books and you know just kind of try

and detach a bit okay let's get to the

questions and all I'll shut up

about myself here alright it's like my

my it's funny the chat window gets like

smaller and smaller every time I look at

it so I only have like four lines to

look through here I must be doing

something wrong here I wonder if I'll

like make my window really huge on the

other screen here that helps or if it

makes it worse okay it looks like it

doesn't matter okay let's try one one

other thing I think I may have the

ability to look one other place makes

everyone for your patient patients as I

work through this stuff here okay and as

we are waiting if you have the ability

to click the thumbs up I would

appreciate that and let me check I think

there may be a way that I could see the

chat in a sort of a better view so I'm

going to try and do that just because I

really actually can't read it very well

all right

be alive control room that looks like a

good thing to go towards okay it's a

little bit better okay I can do this

cool cool I see a ton of chat if it's

your first time today thanks for joining

I appreciate it thanks people for

clicking the thumbs up all right okay

well I thought I'd have a better chat

window okay no now we got it okay Sarah

welcome Sarah Sarah says how do I handle

discouragement at what point you admit

failure on the site and pivot to

something else okay this is a deep

question maybe something I could talk

about a little bit more in the future I

think I am I hate the discouragement

well I think one thing is I think

especially at this point I expect to be

discouraged I basically expect

everything to not work I expect whatever

plans that I make and whatever

expectations I have it's gonna be it's

gonna be like less results less impact

than I hope and the other thing is that

it's probably going to take longer than

I expect so with that in mind it's

harder to get really discouraged if your

expectations are more realistic and

that's the thing when you're

disappointed or discouraged or something

like that it's usually because your

expectations don't match with reality so

I guess I've like knocked I'm just

expecting everything to be so difficult

that I'm okay with it and I can tell you

like when I had a corporate job you know

you get the job they send you to

training for a few weeks and

you know they're telling you all these

great things you're around people who

are talking up the whole company and

about getting promoted and you know 18

months to three years and stuff like

that and you're like moving in the right

direction you think and then when you do

what everyone says and it doesn't work

then it gets annoying especially when

you see other people that are you know

you think they're they're not as good as

you they're not doing as good as work as

you're doing and it's just discouraging

overall so it was really frustrating

then but now that I'm like like almost

20 years older it's like well that's

just how things work so how do I handle

it I think I I just constantly adjust so

if you expect that you have to adjust

and things aren't going to go as planned

then you'll be okay

as far as admitting failure usually I'm

unsure I'm unsure how to answer that but

basically you really only fail when you

quit but you could check out the book by

Seth Godin called the dip and there's

there's a point where it's like okay you

just haven't tried hard enough and even

given enough time you didn't adapt them

you needed to adapt and a few other

things but then sometimes things are

just a bad idea or you're bad at them

not you specifically Sarah but sometimes

people are just bad at stuff so you kind

of have to take it all into account and

to be honest you never actually know you

just have to like make a decision move

forward and then move on and I do have a

story that I can tell you beer related

as you could imagine if I have time at

the end okay

next Toki asks on a new site with 5kg

our post what's the expected time for

him to see results in Google brand new

site you should see probably one of the

five in the top 50 within a couple weeks

or so and you're asking would the site

still be in the sandbox yeah for sure

the sandbox typically I mean you're

gonna see you're gonna see some traffic

just

good rankings but after six months like

you'll see an improvement

most likely okay and we see bunch of the

people here okay and David says you see

you've swapped beer and coffee for water

yeah for today kind of you know got a

nurse the liver also is 10:15 in the

morning so maybe later today in fact I

know for sure I have actually I have a

right here I can go around the corner

I'll be right back I'm going to show you

something this this whole keg of beer

right here is empty and I have to get

more more beer I need a new one

so it's a it's a six barrel so it holds

a little over five gallons which is like

50 beers or so

so anyway yeah definitely gonna have a

beer later when I pick something up here

okay I'm back though what's up

okay Polina says one month niche site

about ten posts 100 visitors in the

first month and you want to know when

you can get $1,000 per month

well there's many factors involved

paulínia but it sounds like you're on

the right track I would say to make

thousand bucks a month

okay I'm gonna break it down a different

way give you even more detail than you

asked for

so probably between like four and six or

seven months you should be able to hit

the first like 100 dollars in a month

okay so that's that's one aspect and

then from there it depends right

variables like like how good the kgr

terms are right the search volume some

of those were really gonna like do well

if you have you know ten posts now and

you keep adding you'll be in good shape

but I would say you can get to a

thousand dollars a month within like

eight you know eight to nine months and

maybe you know maybe it takes your year

depending on things

fast you can add more content in what

link building you do so there's a lot of

factors involved with that in I mean

really a lot of it comes down to the

amount of effort and how much you'll put

into it so if you work harder on it and

you spend more time and like I said it

you know when things don't work out you

figure them out and you adapt and you

figure out how to make it work for you

then you can hit a thousand dollars

sooner so it depends though so it

depends cats on what's up Jon's I'm from

San Antonio

Paul says how many links to my bill to a

site in a given month and how many

people help you build those links I

don't really look at it as a per month

thing so I do more like Sprint's of work

so I don't know I can't really answer

that very well since it's not like the

way that I work how many people helped

me build those links anywhere from zero

just me to like two additional people

but you can of course grow it bigger if

you wanted and but if you want a

baseline like if you could get let's say

you can get four to ten links per month

which is you know from modest to sort of

you know to the point of aggressive

where you're working hard on it if you

get four to ten links per month

consistently that's a lot of links

that's that's a whole lot of links so as

a baseline just to give you an idea the

project or why a site had about 45

private blog network links it was making

a lot of money you can go back and see

like the sort of trajectory but it was

making a 10k a month with 45 pbn links

and then it went up to like 35 or sorry

32k in December of last year and you

know we were working on some other

things too so there's multiple factors

there's some birds flying around

Magpies are very noisy they're a little

aggressive

okay as we're going through here pastor

says pastor Duke what's up what's the

click-through rate I shoot for on a

money page to Amazon

I really don't for anything specific and

I don't keep up I'm terrible with stats

even though I have a pretty strong math

background in it's interesting I like

numbers and spreadsheets and stuff but I

don't really track that so and you're

asking what's a good CTR to Amazon not a

conversion just a CTR to Amazon okay I'm

gonna have to like data points with like

a like a large amount of data one side

is the project white hat site and one is

another one so once I had I think it was

like a between I like a 45 60 percent

click-through rate to Amazon and we

didn't you know differentiate between

unique users so the same user could have

clicked over like 30 times we didn't

we'd have no way to track that and

didn't look into it so 45 to 60 or

something like that and I can tell you

that the conversion rate as reported by

Amazon on the dashboard was lower it was

sort of like I think was like between

three and a half and like six percent

and then in December was like eight

percent and then on another site the

click-through rate to Amazon is like

like 30 to 40 percent or so but the

conversion rate on Amazon is like 12 13

percent so you can see there's a bit of

a balance one site had a lot more

traffic and a lot more people going to

Amazon but it was less targeted there

weren't strong like buying keywords

however the other site the second site

that I mentioned it had like the right

kind of people that are buyers and it

had a lower click-through rate to Amazon

but more people bought once they were

there are those good I have no idea

that's the only data I have

and David says how do I get my head to

shine so nicely it could be the lighting

yeah it's not easy to do you know part

of its lighting you know have a light on

right there and then the other part is

the Polish you know you don't get a

shiny head like this without polish and

you definitely have to get rid of all

the hair all right that is a good

question though David Paul says do I

build links from my site if I know that

the link is nofollow yeah so like the

blog commenting and stuff that I do

doesn't it follow D card says you're

gonna hire a writer today from up work

any tips yeah so I'll just give you

three one be sort of flexible right be

flexible so that you can adapt when

things don't go as expected - I would

say make sure you just hire them for a

trial job and three I would if you want

to get one writer like for sort of a

longer term or at least a multi article

project hire - for like one article like

trial run have them write different

articles of course so you can use them

both and pick the best one

don't waste your time trying to

interview people or ask a bunch of

questions or anything like just get them

to do the job if they could do the job

well and you like working with them

that's good you shouldn't have it should

be like a good pair of shoes right

you shouldn't have to like wear the

shoes and like break a man and all this

stuff and stretch them out I used to

think that but really if it's the right

pair of shoes you put them on they feel

good you can walk around and you don't

have a blister on your heel because

you've walked around a little bit a new

pair of shoes

so don't there's so many writers out

there you don't have to like bend to

what they want you to do you can find

one where you both work together well

jason says hello from Ohio

what's up thanks for joining usually

catch the replays but you're able to log

on live today cool Jason

hopping on and let me know do you have

any questions all right

Richard says what should guest post

anchor text consistent it should be

here's what I do

almost a hundred percent of the time

it's keyword rich it's a partial match

and it's sort of a longer phrase at

least like you know one and a half to

two and a half times the number of words

that are a partial match so the whole

idea is a long phrase and randomness

sort of so that if some you know you're

not gonna be over optimized that's the

idea

don't be over optimized Florine says you

have four articles on page one with

google but still only two to ten views

per day what can you do to ramp up

things so and you're almost finished

with a top expert blog does that really

help okay so get more links to the just

pick one of those four pages pick one

right and then get like ten links to

that page and then come back in like

four weeks or so and then let me know

how it's going as far as the top expert

blog does it really help

it won't hurt things you could get a

couple shares maybe some people read

other articles it's not a bad thing if

you got it in place then that's awesome

keep up the good work Florian it sounds

like you're making progress

alright Paul says your site's traffic is

decreasing and you check your webmaster

tools you notice that there's a drop

there isn't a penalty any advice

say it's decreasing for a few months now

so most things come down to two areas

you know the content and then the lane

so on the content I would take an audit

of your site has it it's compared to a

couple of the top like I guess niche

types in your niche so you know pick one

page that is you know good on your site

and you look at the keyword density you

look at the number of links and take a

look at just maybe even the number of

images go deep right look at the number

of images they have see their videos on

their page what kind of like subheadings

do they have do they have tables do that

have bulleted lists see what the

difference is and then see if you can

improve your on-page content

additionally you may need to look at

your internal linking structure if

you're not sure how to do that go and

take a look at the one of the videos

where I talk about internal linking

structure and basically you just want to

have a bunch of links all over the place

on your site and then after that if you

haven't been adding links I don't even

asking about link building and stuff

like that if you haven't been having

links go ahead and do that and same

advice I gave to Florian basically pick

one of those pick up posts right pick

one of your best posts that's doing well

already see if you can get like 10 guest

posts or other links to that page wait

about four weeks and then come back let

me know how it's going say I'm good all

right

Eustace says hello from Kenya keep up

the good work thank you thanks for

watching how do I tell if a particular

try that again how do I tell if a

particular niche is worth pursuing or

how do I go about selecting current

niches

basically if there are other sites out

there then you know it's worth pursuing

I think maybe you have deeper questions

in there but yeah you just I mean you

need to make sure there's enough

keywords and that there's products to

sound and usually it's good

ah Brandon says I would really

appreciate my advice and finding a

Content Manager to edit your post and

writers article you haven't had any luck

you spend an entire day off editing and

posting them myself

that's the worst takes forever um so

Brandon I think for finding a content

manager slash editor I would say you

know it's actually similar to the writer

stuff so hired too you know you do need

to have tight set of instructions for

them to follow I recommend you keep it

simple at first and then you add

complexity as you go I also encourage

you to you know maybe promote a writer

that you already have on hand and brain

that I do I think I actually have a full

life training on this very topic

so you ought to check the YouTube

channel do a search I think it may be

either scaling or hiring writers or

something like that

it's an it's been in the last few weeks

so it should be like a live stream but

the other thing is it takes time some of

them are not going to work out I think

I've hired maybe five or six in the past

like twelve months and like two were

really good and you know two of them

flicked out and one was okay until she

didn't have any more time down so a

couple have been awesome in the one I

have now it's great and I'm paying her

twice as much as I was paying the

original folks but overall the hardest

part is the training part so make sure

you document what you're doing well

don't record a video by the way because

if something changes it's a huge pain in

the ass the change of video create a

Google Doc take screenshots step-by-step

process show them how to do it let them

leave comments and then it's super easy

like if there's

or something that you missed you can go

back and edit it if you shoot a video

like a lot of people will say I just

recorded a video and sent it to my VA

stuff changes all the time tools change

WordPress changes like little things

change when those little things change

huge pain in the butt so don't do videos

okay cool cool light list is don't use

forums to get backlinks nope sure don't

are things from forums good they can be

but not necessarily what are the best

ways to get backlinks without guest

posting um so the other way okay I don't

talk about this too much but the other

way to get backlinks without guest

posting is to just be like really

awesome so if you're really awesome and

you can tell people about what you're

doing and they'll link to your site but

I have a feeling and nothing to you

personally

lalla like if if you're asking about

like getting backlinks without guest

posting it kind of it maybe indicates to

me that you're trying to like find a

faster way and if you're trying to find

a faster way the thing that I just

described like be awesome and then tell

people about it

that's probably not gonna be your thing

either so no I don't know if I could

help you um sorry private blog networks

I don't use them the riskier but if you

don't want to do guest posting and you

want to get backlinks I would go to like

a very high quality private blog network

provider like Matt diggety diggety

marketing I would check that out and

just pay top dollar for like good links

okay that's we're going through here

Paul says as a follow-up what if you

know your guest posts will have nofollow

links then I probably wouldn't go for it

yeah good good question if it's you know

one or two of those are fine right

it's a good site go for it like by as a

rule you start finding that most of the

sites that you're posting on in there

follow then you probably need to tweak

like whatever your inputs are cue dog

what's up thanks for joining when making

featured images on canva can we use a

product image from Amazon site stripe

and modify that I don't know I'm not

sure I doubt it I wouldn't worry about

it

meaning I wouldn't do it I would I would

rather not do that okay and cue dog says

you've seen niche site use product

images and blur out the name and brand

information is that okay

probably not it's a copyright thing so

when you look at it from that lens

that's a copyright violation keep people

get away with it sure they could

actually get like the permission from

the manufacturer right the manufacturer

wants to sell stuff so potentially you

could email the manufacturer and say hey

do you have any images that I can use

and they can say yes or no you need to

get in writing and all that stuff but

basically basically it's a copyright

thing so looking to the sky says what

kinds of sites except guest posts most

often and I'm going to tweet your

questions so it's better what kind of

sites except guest post most often that

we went to publish on because there's a

lot of sites that will accept guest

posts that are like not the kind of

links we want so those are ones that

everyone else is looking for - that has

like guest post guidelines and stuff

they'll accept them but you really don't

want links there because everyone else

is getting links there so the sites that

accept guest posts are the ones that

you've developed a relationship with so

that is a that's a harder thing to do

but a high-touch outreach hto I'm gonna

start talking about that more but it's a

multi-step process right high-touch like

there's more touch blimps

so if you build a relationship you could

probably get a guest post a for example

I'll use a niche site project this is

the example and basically like a couple

people actually I get emails often

although I think it's gone down just

here recently but people would send me

an email they're like hey I developed a

new product it's super cool I think it's

great for your audience what do you

think if you just you know either let me

do a guest post or maybe just a link to

an entire audience about it

so I actually stopped

I used to respond to those but in in the

book called deep work Cal Newport talks

about like you don't owe them a response

like it's it is the person who emails

you it's their responsibility to make a

compelling argument for me to even reply

to them so when they just came to me

with their you know with their hands out

they want something from me

just tell them I mean it's time to take

a hike you know I ignore it I delete it

sometimes I'll mark it as spam you know

just because it's such a bad pitch and

it's so inconsiderate and there's other

stuff that I could actually push one

like friends with the people and I know

who they are so that brings me to just

developing the relationship with someone

and you know there are you know people

that I know that I've known for years

and they could just send me an email hey

I'm gonna push something I have a new

product blah blah blah do you want to

work with me and I will I'll even be

flexible and go out of my way to help

him out okay all right matías says do it

trust keyword difficulty metrics with

tools like age rest and others no

generally not you found keywords with

one to five kb but big sites really rank

with positions one two three

with a keyword included in the title so

I don't I normally don't trust those

however to be fair I haven't done like a

type study or any sort of data analysis

on it but in general not really and I

think those kind of metrics just if

everyone has access to the same metrics

it's sort of less valuable

I think math is like there was specific

like KD of like one to five I would

imagine would be pretty easy to rank for

but the only way to find out is to test

it for yourself every niche is different

Brenda says thanks for the Q&A the

efforts inspired you to keep busy

awesome thanks thanks for saying that

David says do I use schema on my sites

you just started it no I sure don't is

it going well so far David I haven't

used schema at all in Q dog mentions -

Brandon you spent the day editing an

article - it's the worst in any converse

so I actually was the bottleneck but I

published like I will say the exact

amount but it was like over 40 articles

like in the last couple days and I'm

just like hopped onto the WordPress

dashboard look this stuff that was

drafted for me and went ahead and just

hit publish on a bunch of stuff and it

was awesome it took like an hour so in

contrast like if you could find a good

content manager saves you hours is a

no-brainer

to hire a person to do content

management for you okay

nopal says you got a 10 kg are pieces of

content and you're adding one to two a

day awesome that sounds good let me know

what what happens

and let's see Paul says when you say

build a relationship with bloggers

before pitching them a guest post what's

a timeline when do you decide it's the

right time to pitch so okay I'll just

answer straight up come on give too

caveats here give it like about a month

give it a month and you should build a

relationship to the point where they

know who you are you've exchanged

several emails and it's not a pitch at

that point so if you think about it that

way it should help does it take longer

yeah but your conversion rate will go up

by like a thousand percent like 10 X

okay so Laila says is the follow-up not

trying to find an easy way just writing

isn't your strong point plus II

English's in your first language so you

would have to outsource okay cool good

to know yeah so at that point I'm not a

hundred percent sure like the best

approach but I keep telling you that a

student from five figure niche site he

hit his first hundred dollar month he

enrolled in I believe April so he's only

been in like in this like niche site

world for a few months and did you

enroll in April I think that's right

maybe January January at the most so he

hit his first hundred dollar a month in

the timeframe that I outlined earlier so

Toto I mean in English is not his first

language he just followed the steps

right he followed the steps and when he

hit a snag he figured out how to get

around it so you could figure it out

also and David says be awesome and tell

people best advice it seems this is a

callback to I said earlier it seems to

be the place the way things are going

make content you would like to read and

trust better the post the easier the

link building yeah that's true and I

mean you know people ask certain

questions and you know I try to imagine

you know where they're at but I will say

it at some point like if you build the

relationship really well then yeah the

link building part is pretty easy the

relationship building part may be harder

but I mean still like the same steps

over and over again

okay Leila says so that's why that you

asked if there's any other ways to get

guest posting because writing in English

is in your first language so can you get

backlinks through images you have a

design background I don't know I mean

I've heard people talk about it and

maybe you could be creative with that

but I mean I think as far as like an

effectiveness standpoint yeah

guest posting is probably the best route

but I mean you could totally I mean you

could totally just use P bns if you want

they work well it's more risky but you

know it's hard to it's hard to really

like I guess changed the formula like

you have to get links from somewhere

guest postings a really good way I mean

you can if you just have a really good

site maybe you focus all on relationship

building and then you just hire someone

to write the guest posts I mean that

that's literally what I did I mean I

know how to do the relationship building

part that part's really important the

writing is not as important serious is

what do I think about the Yoast SEO

plug-in it's fine I've used it before

okay and brain this says 40 Wow that's

how many posts that publish and you

haven't done that in a month you have

about 40 written yeah like if you get

other people to write it for you and

other people to like edit it it goes way

faster and by the way I mean it wasn't

necessarily cheap paid you know I'll do

some case study early share the results

in you know probably six months or so

and actually have some data but you know

paying a fair good rate for the content

I'm managing a team there's I just

brought back on a guide that I used to

work with I guess last year and he has a

couple one to two people working with

him they can write a lot and they could

write it very very fast

so at this point I think I have one two

three and then probably like six ish

writers or so and some are doing you

know one article per day others are

doing like three per week so it's like

different levels and then add my content

manager who edits and like gets

everything ready drafts everything in

WordPress for me so it's a nice flow and

I just need to publish more stuff all

right all right let's see here

and yep dennis is reminding us to give a

thumbs up

appreciate it yeah just click like below

if you have the opportunity actually

this will be cool too if you could just

if you have the ability to share the

video like on Facebook is actually

pretty good if you happen to know like

even just one person you can share this

video with I know a lot of us are in

Facebook groups so if you know like one

or two people in those groups or if you

if you could like share the video in the

group and the moderator won't get mad
