I've Been an "Influencer" for a Year...Here's How Much I made

In today's email, I have A LOT to cover. So, if you want to shortcut your way to the content, here's what you need to know:

  1. I share how much money I'm making from the Amazon Influencer Program after 532 days with my recent YouTube video here.
  2. Only 36% of Google Searches Go to Websites according to a New Study. Jared and I dive into this study, provide an update on our side hustles, and reveal 2 weird niche sites in our brand new video right here.
  3. An in-depth interview with Seth Williams who makes $20k to $30k/month through blogging and podcasting about Real Estate with course sales and affiliate marketing. Watch the full Niche Pursuits Podcast episode here.

I Tried Amazon Influencer and Made $27,190, Here's How

I mostly cringe at the word "influencer" as it conjures up well to do socialites posting on insta about their latest make-up or clothing line.

However, Amazon has a program call the "Amazon Influencer Program" and I've now been making money from it for over a year now.

I certainly wouldn't consider myself an "Influencer" in the traditional sense though.

In fact, I've been posting product review videos on Amazon for almost exactly 532 days now and I thought it was time to share an update!

As you may recall, I started with the Amazon Influencer program as an experiment simply to see if it works.

Others were making money, so I thought I'd "guinea pig" the idea and share my results with you.

I think it was about 6 months ago that I provided an update, so earlier this week, I just posted a full video with my current Amazon Influencer earnings and update here.

I hope you enjoy the update!

Only 36% of Google Searches Go to Websites: New Zero Click Report

We just released a brand new episode of "This Week in Niche Pursuits News" and I personally think it's a must watch!

We dig deep into a new study that shows out of 1000 searches on Google, only 360 go to the open web.

We give our thoughts and analysis on this study along with other news in the industry.

In addition, Jared reveals that he's acquired a newsletter...and you can see the actual newsletter!

I share my recent Facebook bonus program side hustle and how I've made nearly $3,000 in my first 30 days!

And finally, I somehow got roped into doing a live typing test in a mini-competition with Jared as we reveal a weird niche site.

How Seth Williams Makes $20k/month with Real Estate Courses and Affiliate Marketing

Seth Williams is an entrepreneur with a passion for land investing. After he got a few years of experience under his belt, he decided the time had come to share his expertise, so he created his website, REtipster.

He went on to create some digital products, including a course, to diversify his income. He peaked at $60k in one month, but he normally brings home $20k-30k a month.

In this week's podcast interview, he talks about building his brand and creating his course and podcast, but perhaps most importantly he talks about leading with value and giving priority to creating great content that helps people.

Thanks again...and I hope you have a great weekend!
