Topic: How to emigrate to Europe

Samantha North's niche site, Digital Emigre, grew to $7,000 in revenue in 2 years.

(1) Choosing a niche

(2) Making a content strategy

(3) Monetizing your traffic (often through 5-figure affiliates!)

(4) Mistakes to avoid

With a successful YouTube channel, blog and social media accounts, Retro Dodo truly embodies a brand.

His followers are raving retro gaming fans, and they trust his console reviews.

Retro Dodo earns $8,000 per month through affiliates—encouraging sales of games consoles, each of which he's unboxed and reviewed.

Topic: Leveraging an aged domain to boost search volume

The team over at Niche Website Builders buy old websites and redirect them to their own.

This strategy boosts the authority of their site by passing unearned PageRank from one site to theirs.

In this case study, they share how to leverage aged domains the right way.

Tips include:

(1) Look for a website in the same niche

(2) That's has lower domain authority than yours

(3) That also overperforms for organic traffic

Note, they don't use a direct 301 redirect.

"Rather than redirect them to the homepage, we created a 4,000-word skyscraper piece of content that covers the category subject broadly. Throughout this content, we added tons of internal links to posts within the target category."
