6 Figure Affiliate Site Exit x 2...in 1 Year?!

You never know when a small idea can turn into a big money maker.

Back in 2015, Greg Mercer, thought of creating a little chrome extension that helps Amazon sellers determine how many units any given Amazon listing was selling each month.

This idea quickly took off, well beyond what he had imagined.

I was lucky enough to have Greg on the Niche Pursuits podcast about a year after he launched this little tool called Jungle Scout.

You can listen to that interview from 2016 with Greg Mercer right here.

Why am I sharing this?

Well, Jungle Scout and Greg Mercer just hit the front page of Tech Crunch for securing $110 million in funding.

Mind blown 🤯

They also made a major acquisition (a big reason for the funding). They acquired Downstream Impact, an Amazon advertising analytics and platform company.

I mean, I knew Jungle Scout was doing well...but this really opened my eyes to how big Greg's "little" idea had grown over the past few years.

They now have 500,000 customers and a team of 200 employees!

They've expanded to a full SaaS and a suite of tools...way beyond the little Chrome extension idea that Greg originally had.

Anyway, next time you have a "little" idea, it may not be so little after all.

6 Figure Exit x 2 in 1 Year?!

​

I just hit publish on an awesome interview I did with Colin Ma.

Colin is an experienced website builder. In fact, he had not 1, but 2 six figure exits in 2020!

One site he built from scratch and then sold for over $100,000.

The other affiliate site he bought, made some improvements that really moved the needle, and then sold it about 6 months later.

Listen to the full interview with Colin Ma right here.

We dive into his on-page SEO strategies, link building strategies, and how he builds a team to scale his portfolio.

I hope you enjoy the interview!

Thanks again for reading,

Spencer
