Jim, thanks to the value you guys provide, I made my first and second affiliate sale through amazon. 13 weeks to the day and 11 posts on my site. I’m Averaging about 25 visitors a day. The majority of that traffic is coming from a post where I have the featured snippet, using your technique. Thanks again!!!
Dude, i've spent a six digit figure (4 digit in USD) in going through two (not one, two) digital marketing courses over the past 5 years (still paying for the latter one), and you give away far more valuable, relevant and accurate content here, with no fat/fluff, than what i got from a legit educational institution. Would love to work with you, for you, for free, just to give back to you as a gesture of gratitude, and i'm not kidding.
Outstanding info! Binge-worthy content and sell every link are the highlights for me. Good run down on how to look at the Google numbers. You always give us a lot to think about and a lot to work on. Thanks, Jim.
Hey Jim to expand on your ink selling point I have 20 years sales experience and naturally write my links that way. The term for it is “call to action”. When selling you want the customer to take an actionable step towards buying. This invests them in the process to buy and if they are invested they are more likely to convert. Not trying to be Braggadocious rather this was something of value I am able to add to the community. Awesome vid as always.
I don't often comment on videos, actually I never comment on videos - but this is so refreshing. 99% of the crap out there is just that, crap. The same rehashed methods on things that don't truly matter nor really work. Thank you for giving actual actionable advice that can better help me move the needle in my business. Consider me subscribed and the bell hit! Keep it up!
I've just began my research in regards to marketing. I've noticed there's two trends. There's what Income School recommends, honest, ethical advice. Then there's the other guys. The guys that use psychology to manipulate or play in a gray area. I find it extremely distasteful to even hit about ways to "play" the game. I appreciate the advice Income School is providing. If I do pursue a passive income site, I feel I can trust the information they offer. In times like these, meaningful content AND ethical conduct goes extremely far. There's a fine line from making a profit and screwing people. This was longer than I intended.
I can share my numbers here to give another set of values for smaller websites. I have about 4000 pageviews a month with a bounce rate of 90%. I will take action and focus more on selling internal links and posting a series of related blog posts to keep my readers engaged. I also started TH-cam a month ago. Thank you for sharing your tips.
BING CONTENT! I always go past it but never thought of it as a strategy. Great video. And the exit rate metric is definitely something I'm going to be looking at.
This is a pure value bomb. I so much appreciate you for releasing ths videos for free, that I WILL purchase your course....Just have to wait a little bit longer since the price of the course(+ the price of opening a website) in my country is equal to 4 months of paychecks (i get paid $150 a month) .... so i have to have 4 untouched $150 wages... and it is hard cosidering I'm a student and I can't manage to save any money at all now... I will still purchase your course as soon as I can. I promisse. That's how much I appreciate this content. See you in Project 24...sooner or later :p
Another helpful video that was very interesting to watch. Drive safe back to your home because you deserve that beautiful family that you have there. I get the feeling from your videos that you are a great dad! Now, I am going to watch this again❤️
Great video. What about a video that shows us how you do your SEO through Wordpress, and how you set up a new blog so it includes a thumbnail on the home page? Do you use tags as well?
Great video! Getting better and better! Could you guys do monthly updates on the websites you currently have up and running? I have seen the camper report review and cabin freedom, Would love to learn more about what you are looking at on your passive sites, what you change or update, and how often you monitor them. Thanks!
Just found your very helpful videos I am in New zealand we use the TLD .nz for local content. I wonder if you have coverded at all the importance of a domain name , the lack of importance etc etc Keep up the great work Graham
Totally added these tips to my checklist before I hit publish. It almost seems that all my posts turn into binge content ;) I need better organization and focus!
Wow are those your kids? They are so lucky to have you! I wish I can be a parent like you for my kids in the future. I am binging all of your videos and I appreciate your sincerity. I hope we will get the success we all deserve.
Hey Ricky. Another great video; thanks so much. Question about RESPONSE POSTS in general: How about writing some RESPONSE POSTS to vulnerable Google queries that are only indirectly related to your site's subject? Or for that matter, subjects not even closely related? Thoughts? THANK YOU
Hey, awesome content yet again! I love the binge post idea but have a little question. I checked the improve photography one. Are all these small chained articles considered as 1 post by Google? Because the first one that ranks at #2 is really short and sweet but the KW is pretty competitive
Time on page is, in my opinion, the most important metric. You can measure it correctly by pinging GA with timed events. I send a ping (say every 10 seconds) and GA logs Time on Page super accurately. I have pages with 50+ mins AVG TOP. This tells me people leave the page open in their browser ;) How awesome is that??? PS: the downside of using this method is that bounce rate will be reported as 0... but as you said, it doesn't really matter :)
I never saw any tutor to share incredible knowledge for free I thought if you guys share too much knowledge for free than project24 would be Strom I think
Jim I've noticed an issue on your dirtbike site, the torque wrench you've listed in recommended gear is out of stock or unavilable. Since that's one of your highest traffic'd pages I figured I'd let you know.
A few months back I added related posts under articles and nothing happened. I also improved sidebar with latest posts/popular and nothing happened. Seems that it's related to banner blindness since people are focusing on the article. Selling links inside the article makes actually a lot of sense. Thanks! Now I have to try selling my links with both internal and affiliate links. Overall I have the bounce rate of 80-83% and my articles are more like how to-s so people leave after getting the info.
They walk you step by step of how to do it, it's as if they are literally holding your hand....you can learn alot by watching there videos also but theres alot you won't be able to figure out on your own there EXACT way of doing things...i just burly started their course about two weeks ago and am already progressing fast to establishing my website. Im just doing Everything they say to do and it's working and its fun too.
I bought it and here's what I can say: Although what they share here are awesome, it lacks a step by stem system, a community (support and encouragement) and some other tactics only shared on Project24 members. So yeah, it's worth it if you don't want to waste time :)
Thanks for putting proper emphasis on exit pages! And Google isn’t perfect either. Sell every link! Subscribers.io does great browser notifications. Binge content! Enjoy the drive.
I found "Photography Basics" through Google. I noticed that part 1 in the series (the ranking post) is rather short which you typically recommend against. What made you feel confident going short on this article? Does Google somehow understand that this post is part of a series?
Hi! Hope you both are Fine and enjoy your Life. I am Following you from al Long Time and Learn a Lot From you. Your Strategies are amazing and you too are also Amazing. But I have Few Question that still stops me. You are always talking about content is King. And You say that make A “Killer Content” I got it. A killer content. But The Problem here is that How I make This Type of Content. Can You Please share your Method are at least some tips to How to Create a Killer Content. 1. How do you research before Writing a Content? 2. What thinks are Keep In Mind During Written a Content? 3. How to start it and Make good Flow content? 4. And How to Make a Long Content I means how to find a topic to write. 5. And The Last thing is that How Long it must be?
ermmm..how is "selling" an external link going to help metrics in Google? If you are talking about moving the needle on affiliate sales that makes sense but I thought we were talking about either more pageviews or ranking metrics that Google likes? edit: I subbed tho; because the rest of your videos have been great!
Hello, thank you so much for all of your great videos. If I create a brand new website. Let say I target a keyword with 1000 monthly searches…but the top articles on google.fr are short and sucks. Let say I then create a great article where people stay at least twice more time of the first article…and then stop their researches because my article is very good. In theory…I could expect a good ranking (assuming everything else that matters such as website speed is right). Could I speed my ranking with google ads ? So google would receive faster statistics on how my article performs.
Browser notifications.... If someone subscribes, do you recommend I send to a piece of content right away? Should I send them to my home page to sign up? I currently have it set up where after 15 minutes, they will get a notification about a piece of content and two days later another piece of content and another two days, link to my home page where they can sign up for an eBook... I am just not sure if that is how I should do it...
I applaud your genuine, humble, and transparent style with the top-class content. How refreshing. Thanks very much.
I just can’t get enough of your videos. Plenty of detail without to much fluff and not dry
Jim, thanks to the value you guys provide, I made my first and second affiliate sale through amazon. 13 weeks to the day and 11 posts on my site. I’m Averaging about 25 visitors a day.

Your content is so organic. Nothing can beat organic traffic in long term.

Hey guys thanks for another great video. It would be great of you could do a video on what to do when your page views start to drop.
Excellent video Jim. You're absolutely right. It's easy to get confused with some of those numbers.
I don't often comment on videos, actually I never comment on videos - but this is so refreshing. 99% of the crap out there is just that, crap.

Awesome ideas and amazing vacation as well Jim, thanks for the video
Gold! :) Gold is what you're spilling here in this video! Thanks, Jim!
Agreed; pure gold
Right
Great stuff. Thank you. I will take your course later in the year. I am impressed.
So helpful, sell links... Loved your impromptu trip footage and the crab concept

Thanks Jim... struggling with the stickiness of my site, this came at the right time
Living the life! Brilliant video, exactly what I needed!
Great great! Love the analogy with catching crabs ! So fun and STICKY to watch that video!
I HATE those sites where you have to click through to read a whole article! Really great information in this video Jim, thanks!
Thank you for sharing your tips! They are very helpful for my personal finance website :)
Good stuff Jim! I can't wait to get to that level! One step at a time keep my eyes on the prize!

Beautiful shot following the waves into the shore, wow!

I am watching this now during the Covid-19 time and it feels so great to see the ocean and the family holiday
Totally added these tips to my checklist before I hit publish. It almost seems that all my posts turn into binge content ;) I need better organization and focus!
Thanks for explaining about the bounce rate. It took the confusion away
Thank you for this information and how you share it.
Your TH-cam channel is "binge content"
*Totally* binge worthy, evergreen content. 😛
Thanks for the strategy in "selling the link". Great examples...
Lovely information Jim. So nice to see you guys getting into Guttenberg. Wish to see a video about Guttenberg in near future.
Wow are those your kids? They are so lucky to have you! I wish I can be a parent like you for my kids in the future. I am binging all of your videos and I appreciate your sincerity. I hope we will get the success we all deserve.
Thank you! I like those three little kiddos quite a bit :-)
nice video Jim , soon i will be able to travel around my country like you do ,a big hug from Chile !
Powerful formula you've got there:
Sell the link, follow-up contact, keep them on site with good content.
Hey Ricky. Another great video; thanks so much. Question about RESPONSE POSTS in general: How about writing some RESPONSE POSTS to vulnerable Google queries that are only indirectly related to your site's subject? Or for that matter, subjects not even closely related? Thoughts? THANK YOU
This was really informative. Never heard of stickiness before
Out of the park, man, once again. Loving this channel!!
I love the suggestion of "binge content." It's not something I would have thought of but it's a no-brainer!
Hey, awesome content yet again! I love the binge post idea but have a little question.
I checked the improve photography one. Are all these small chained articles considered as 1 post by Google? Because the first one that ranks at #2 is really short and sweet but the KW is pretty competitive
Great content my friends! Really nice work!! Thanks!
another awesome video
Lots of good info. Make the page sticky and sell the link, and Wright good binge content. All good stuff. How were the crabs?
A better video than the previous one.
Ohhhh...you're on vacation. I thought you'd picked up and moved writhing 20 minutes. Still brave and admirable.
Great video. This is so overlooked
Ok, this were really good tips ;)
That is such a gem buried in all your great content.
I love the linking idea.
Wow! Awesome video Jim!
Time on page is, in my opinion, the most important metric.
You can measure it correctly by pinging GA with timed events.
I send a ping (say every 10 seconds) and GA logs Time on Page super accurately.
I have pages with 50+ mins AVG TOP.
This tells me people leave the page open in their browser ;)
How awesome is that???
PS: the downside of using this method is that bounce rate will be reported as 0... but as you said, it doesn't really matter :)
Nice content
I never saw any tutor to share incredible knowledge for free I thought if you guys share too much knowledge for free than project24 would be Strom I think
Going to implement these strategies.
Jim I've noticed an issue on your dirtbike site, the torque wrench you've listed in recommended gear is out of stock or unavilable. Since that's one of your highest traffic'd pages I figured I'd let you know.
Hope you had fun on your vacation. Thanks for the video
Good stuff -- Time on Page
Thanks, Jim! Great info
Excellent information! Thank you. Can't wait to hear about your next hobby :) ... after crabbing haha
The tips on selling links are a real game changer. Thanks Jim, safe journey!
this is what stood out for me too!
Awesome.... theory of binge tricks
every time I watch your video it seems like new
Hey, congrats on 30K subs!
incredible content...been listening to it all day and making notes....are you an angel>?
A few months back I added related posts under articles and nothing happened. I also improved sidebar with latest posts/popular and nothing happened. Seems that it's related to banner blindness since people are focusing on the article. Selling links inside the article makes actually a lot of sense. Thanks!
Now I have to try selling my links with both internal and affiliate links.
Overall I have the bounce rate of 80-83% and my articles are more like how to-s so people leave after getting the info.
I'm debating on buying your class; could you tell me the benefit if that compared to just viewing videos?
They walk you step by step of how to do it, it's as if they are literally holding your hand....you can learn alot by watching there videos also but theres alot you won't be able to figure out on your own there EXACT way of doing things...i just burly started their course about two weeks ago and am already progressing fast to establishing my website.

Wow 150 articles and pinterest.... Lets get going....
This video helped a lot. Thank you very much.
I used to freak out because of my high bounce rate. So this video was very insightful.
Thanks for putting proper emphasis on exit pages! And Google isn’t perfect either. Sell every link! Subscribers.io does great browser notifications. Binge content! Enjoy the drive.
I found "Photography Basics" through Google. I noticed that part 1 in the series (the ranking post) is rather short which you typically recommend against. What made you feel confident going short on this article? Does Google somehow understand that this post is part of a series?
Keep up the videos even though you're busy :)
Totally agree. Thanks!

most seos just say put a video on your site to reduce bounce/exit rate, do you think binge content is the better option
Yes liove the binge content... I get tired of being sent away from a page- generally won't go back
What do you guys think of WP Zero bounce. It's a plugin that directs the user to one of your affiliate links if they hit the back button
I really love your videos, very useful information. Mind if I ask a question about my website?
That crab story is interesting....:)
