Politics + Blogging = 10 Million Visitors/Month (Here's How)

So, a few weeks ago I was minding my own business, when I got an email from a Niche Pursuits reader.

He had a couple of "weird" niche sites he wanted to share that we could possibly talk about on the podcast.

Then I looked at his domain name from his email and noticed it was PoliticalWire.com.

I thought, "wait a second...is the owner of PoliticalWire.com emailing me to talk about weird niche sites...and not Political Wire?!"

I responded to his email and say, "Hey, the weird niche sites are great...but what we should REALLY talk about is you main site!"

As it turns out, Taegan Goddard started PoliticalWire.com over 25 years ago, and in some months it gets over 10,000,000 visitors!

I convinced Taegan to come on the podcast and share his full story.

You can watch how Taegan Goddard Grew Political Wire to 10 Million Visitors/Month Right Here.

This interview is an absolute masterclass on how to build a website that doesn't rely on Google, social media, or anything else.

His secret?

Direct visitors.

In other words, he's created something so valuable that people go to his website directly to read what he's publishing.

And with the Presidential elections happening in the US, I'm sure his servers are getting slammed with traffic right now.

Today's episode is a must listen from a true industry veteran that has proved that longevity in blogging does exist.
