- Jacky Chou is today's guest on the Niche Pursuits interview. Jacky is the founder of Indexy - a successful SEO agency. He is also a very successful website builder with a portfolio of around 35 websites.
The interview starts with Jacky talking about his background and how he got started online. From dropshipping to eCommerce, he has built lots of profitable businesses. Today, on the podcast, he shares some great tips for anyone looking to get started, and in particular, those looking to scale or grow an online business.
Most of the conversation focuses on the website building aspect, and with well over 30 sites, he has a lot of wisdom and knowledge in the game to share.
Jacky talks about how he scales his business, buys starter websites, creates content, builds links, and how he manages to operate a portfolio of so many websites.
In addition, Jared and Jacky Chou discuss some of his other successes, including Amazon FBA, private label branding, and selling websites.
Other topics discussed with Jacky Chou include:
* The type of websites he buys (Hint - they don't always have to be making money)
* What to look for in a starter site
* Approach to Link building and what he believes Google thinks about links
* First and second-tier linking
* How he manages and scales the business
* Content process and strategy
* Does speed matter with SEO?
* EAT
* You don't need to produce lots of content
* Risk mitigation framework
* PBN
* Where to find starter sites
* Dealing with Google core updates
* Private label selling
* Taking profit from one business to build others
* Plus much more
Towards the end of the interview, Jared throws some questions at Jacky and asked him what he thinks is essential for ranking today - i.e., expertise, custom imagery, video production, speed, etc.
Finally, Jacky gives us a glimpse of a day in his life and offers advice on diversification, time management, quitting your day job, and, very importantly, when not to quit your job. Whether building websites at scale or not, you will learn a ton from Jacky.
As always, take notes and enjoy the episode.

Great interview (as always). I appreciate his sensible advice, risk taking, diversity of strategies across his sites, and knowing that 5 to 10 articles per month is okay if that's all you can do.
I really enjoyed this interview. Several points really hit home for me for where I'm at in my business.
Hey Jared & Jacky, thank's for an awesomely insightful interview!
Great interview!
I really like and agree with Jacks principles about taking money off the table to decrease your risks of having all your net worth in one volatile asset.
Thanks, got some useful info from the podcast as always.
I love his honesty and transparency. Great interview.
Great advice on "when to sell the site?"
Thank you for this interview
What does he consider a high amount of keywords in Ahref?
Great questions, great episode.
Great interview, got some good insights! Thx
People like him amaze me because how does he stay motivated to do so much? Does he just love the process of building businesses and wealth? Or is he motivated toward a specific result he wants to create financially? I want to be like that, too, but I feel like I don't always have the drive.
when you finally find something that actually makes you real money i'm sure it will be a self motivating snowball
@@dumbcat not for everyone
30 mins in and I just understood that you were talking about blogs. I thought that he had some micro-saas businesses , maybe if you could be more explicit next times it would be better, Thanks :)
huge value here. thank you.
About websites that not rank.. could you give me links for check?
I can't understand which model he makes his money from?
It's quite impressive.
Keep up the good work!
Watched Podcast No. 1
What are his net profits versus gross profits?
Great interview. I've been focusing on growing my main website, but this interview makes me want to re-visit three other sites I've built that have been collecting dust. I'm curious what my main site is worth to Jacky.
@niche pursuits, how is Jacky differentiating his brand strategy from the manufacturer like the candle maker if he is trying to amplify their stories? The point of white labeling is to convey your unique brand value to separate it from the competition.
Essentially he is licensing the product from the owner, white labeling it and then telling the origin story of the product.
whats a starter site?
is it easy to make money with seo agency
Great interview! What is the site indexing plug-in he talks about briefly?
pretty sure it was rankmath
Bros voice is so deep, had to adjust the bass
Thank you, God.
time stamps would be helpful
ugh, I have 3 flight booking websites. They were generating about 3k per month in profit (collectively). Then Covid happened... Now they are only generating a few hundred per month. Wish I had sold back in 2019...
I wonder if you can niche down to some specific cities then sell it to a hotel, tour guides, or someone with tons of Air BnB units? Could be a good long term pivot. I feel like the competition against Google, Kayak, Expedia etc has to be the biggest long term problem
Sounds like this guy is using SEO methods from 1999. Hammer a site with keyword content and links. No wonder he’s getting hit by google updates.
Evidently it’s working
But he knows that, hence he said “he favors quantity over quality” to minimize risk. By the time google is shutting down one site he already has moved on to 3 others.
Thank you for this interview but i dont get it... Im building Niche Websites on my own now for 8 years and later on i switched to more bigger, clean whitehat Authoritysites. Why the Hack you sell a 1k Page because you think it will tank? These Advises are for People, who want to follow blackhat Methods and dont want to focus on a longterm, healthy Project. For me the Videotitle is missleading. Its completly about shady, cheap, shortterm Blackheat Methods. Of course your Projects will Tank, when you act like 2005. Seems that in the Commentsection are many Blackhat SEO´s :D
Sorry to bother u,, but i should really delete these Spammy Comments, i always check for comments before I watch. And when there are so much spam/scam Comments il stay away.
Maybe there would be some good content in here, idk, il have 3 other Video recommendations on the same Topic.
Please don't be mad about this comment, i just wanted to let u know this, greetings.
nice stats
I am just confused why a $60K per month income generating professional conducts an interview sitting on the floor in front of his bed?
I am sort of with you with this but maybe he was in an AirBNB? My biggest issue is with all of these people turning over a massive amount each month and can't afford a decent microphone. Jamie I.F. was another example of this.
Goes to show none of that fancy stuff matters. Now why a "pro" has zero answers on why certain sites drop off and not others...lol. Overall it should be i spiring for most.
he seemed bored with niche sites. i would have asked him much more about his e-commerce businesses
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks (with the help of my Financial Advisor of course) and made about 246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million.
The pandemic came and taught everyone the importance of having multiple stream of income, unfortunately having a nice paying job doesn't mean you are financial secured anymore. So we all need to put in an extra-income earning chance, like investments.
Investment is that tiny line that separates the RICH from the POOR. The foolish from wise sorry to say. I can proudly say I am wise today because I can provide for my family through my investments.
@Erica Stewart What is your advice for a new beginner like myself, I have been trying to practice using a demo accounts, but I am scared that I don't know enough to start trading all by myself. What to do next.
@Erica Stewart That's impressive. I've been looking for a good trader that can help me trade and make good profits, But it's very hard to see a trusted one....
I'm so happy I found this day
Please how can I reach her easily, I think I should try this woman I've heard so much good news about her
So, mom n dad wanted him to be an electrical engineer or just an engineer but he took the path of least resistance :).
Nice one.
Where can I go to hire someone to make and maintain niche sites for me?
Any SEO agency would do this for you.
@@shaheenadibi959 No, they would say they are doing it and take money for doing nothing... lol
@@VenturaIT thats why you need a good agency.
@@shaheenadibi959 I own a good agency, ha ha. Agencies charge on top of what they pay or their time. lol.
If I buy a site that hasnt had any new content on for 12 months and then add new content is that worthwhile or does Google put sites like this in the Google graveyard?
I've had a website that I didn't add content to for a few years, and then I started writing Kay year... Google started sending traffic right away!
Some like good advice but I almost like switched off like two or three times as, like sadly, Jacky can't like speak without adding like 3 or 4 "like"s in like every sentence.
I just realised that in 15 years of watching 1000s of TH-cam videos that is the first comment I have ever made which wasn't completely positive
@@JPinFuerteventura 😂😂
kinda sketchy
The way you say niche is so annoying, lol
Gee... this guy is the exception to the norm... But it is of no use what he talks about in this interview to 99.9 %. No one except if you are on his shirt tales in similar hot businesses could this even do anyone any good to hear him. What is the point? I guess for click bait but again it's of no real use. Come down to earth some levels that can really help your audience or just have Bill Gates or Elon next time so we can get some more great helpful ideas.
@Connor Knight Sorry but you can see these upper-echelon ramblings as you do. Let us know how they help when you reach where it takes you. I look for more practical examples for the more realistic path. If you see negativity in my comment... then you are the negative one. I was being positive about changing the channel of ideas to what can help people move up by using more realistic examples. Not expect what fell in place for this exception to the rule type of nonchalant ranting and bragging, lol. Later.
