I started a $1 million pillow side hustle

It's time to reveal the full story of my $1 million pillow business.

A few years ago, I was sick of not being able to find thin pillows. I LOVE super thin pillows to sleep on.

The thinner the better.

I couldn't really find anything suitable online (or in stores), so I decided to create my own.

So, I found a manufacturer on Alibaba, got a bunch of samples, and ended up becoming the "thin pillow guy".

I listed my product on Amazon and SEO'd the crap out of the title, description, and everything.

When someone searched for "thin pillow" on Amazon, I wanted to be the top result and there were hardly any competitors at the time.

In my first month, I sold $4,399 worth of pillows, all organically through Amazon.

And so I continued to invest in the business with larger order quantities.

I then created a pillow niche website and started getting traffic from Google SEO for thin pillow related keywords (and others).

My entire marketing strategy at the beginning was Amazon and Google SEO and it worked really well.

I ended up selling over $1 million worth of thin pillows primarily through Amazon and Google SEO.

This was always a side project for me, so I decided to sell the business.

I was netting about $15,000/month (after ALL expenses) and sold the business for $425,000 on Empire Flippers.

Every Online Business Should be Doing This...

The reality is that if you have an online business you should be taking advantage of free traffic anywhere you can get it.

With my pillow business I focused on 2 free traffic sources: Amazon and Google.

Although SEO should not be your ONLY source of traffic, you'd be crazy not to optimize your site as much as possible.

One of the ways that I continue to optimize the SEO traffic of my site is through internal link building.

These are the links that you can control. You don't need to rely on some other website to add a mention to your website...you can add your own "mention" on your own website.

As simple as it sounds, many website owners still don't take advantage of internal linking like they should.

That's why I created Link Whisper.

Link Whisper makes it faster, easier, and more effective to build internal links.

Not only will Link Whisper suggest internal links, but it will actually build the internal links for you after you've approved them!

Huge time-saver.

In addition, Link Whisper gives you in-depth reporting so you can see which articles are missing links...or maybe which articles have too many internal links (and makes it easier to remove a few).

Thanks again,

Spencer
