🧠 GPT 4 was released yesterday and my mind is running wild with ideas...

🚀 The Million Dollar Blog. How Mike Donovan Sold His 3-Year-Old Tech Blog For High 6 Figures

About 9 months ago we had a guest on the podcast that really resonated with viewers. He grew his first niche site to $20k per month and shared lots of great info.

The great news is that he's back on the Niche Pursuits podcast to discuss everything that happened in the interim (and how his site grew way beyond $20k/month), with important insights all site owners need to hear. He covers:

  • How his site made over a million dollars profit in 3 years
  • The compounding nature of SEO
  • Why he sold his site
  • His thoughts on AI and the future of niche sites
  • The impact of a Google penalty
  • Losing a 7 figure offer
  • Riding the emotional rollercoaster
  • And more...

🧠 Open AI Releases GPT-4, and I Have Ideas...

The next evolution of ChatGPT is here!

GPT-4 is a major upgrade in the capabilities of this artificial intelligence tool.

GPT-3.5 could pass the bar exam, but in the bottom 10%.

GPT-4 passes the bar exam in the top 10%.

In addition, GPT-4 can take picture inputs and output longer form text and so much more.

The downside is that it's not free. GPT-4 access is $20/month.

I couldn't help myself though. I bought access, and I've been playing around with it.

My mind is already racing with a few different business ideas powered by GPT-4.

I could use it to transcribe and write podcast summaries (fully formatted)...automatically. I'm sure other podcasters would pay to have this done as well.

I used GPT-4 last night to help me help my daughter do some Geometry last night (remember SOH CAH TOA?!?).

The possibilities with math and other educational tools is tremendous.

I'll leave my full idea a bit vague here, but I think there's plenty of business possibilities in the education space.

Chat GPT-4 has only been out about 24 hours, but people are already demonstrating tons of ways they are using it on Twitter here.


📹 A Quick Update on My Outsourced YouTube Channel

Last week, I shared the above screenshot from a YouTube channel that I'm outsourcing.

I'm not on camera...and I don't do any of the work.

But I am funding the project.

The channel has grown from 227 subscribers on Friday to 337 subscribers today!

That's a 48% growth in subscribers in just 5 days!

We are inching closer to that all-important 1,000 subscriber mark where we can get the channel monetized.

Here's today's screenshot with updated stats from the channel.


🎙️ The Niche Pursuits Podcast is Adding a 2nd Episode Each Week!

Be on the lookout for a 2nd episode of the Niche Pursuits podcast this Friday!

This is unprecidented.

Can the world handle 2 episodes in a single week?!?

This is going to be a brand new show format that dives into the latest digital marketing news, shiny objects, and interesting success stories.

I'll be recording the episode tomorrow and releasing it on Friday...so the content will truly be "fresh".


🥚 Finally, I ran across a totally random statistic that's unrelated to online business.

The price of eggs has DROPPED by 36% in the month of February. Finally, some good news for eggs. Do what you will with this fascinating stat.

Thanks for reading,

Spencer
