Right here’s to any other yr of studying from one any other and to an excessively a hit 2024!
transcription
Spencer: Howdy, everybody, welcome to any other episode, a distinct episode, a vacation week, episode of the area of interest interests podcast. It’s formally an episode of this week in area of interest interests information, however, you realize, it is a little bit other. We are not going to in point of fact be masking information in keeping with se. Uh, each Jared and I have been roughly simply enjoyable with our households.
That is the week between Christmas and New Yr’s. Uh, and so we concept it will be attention-grabbing to do one thing slightly bit other as a substitute of diving into the inside track and feature those exhausting hitting subjects, proper? Um, partly so we do not have to analyze slightly such a lot. Uh, proper. So we will simply have a very simple episode, but in addition it is simply roughly amusing.
I believe for listeners to seem again. On all of the yr, we concept it will be attention-grabbing to hide essentially the most listened to podcast episodes of all of the yr of 2023. After which we are going to throw in a few our personal favourite podcast episodes as smartly. And so I believe it is a cool concept, Jared, expectantly listeners experience it.
What do you assume? Yeah, you
Jared: know, I imply, taking a look again in this yr, 2023, I imply, we are on tempo to do round 100 episodes a yr, proper? So two episodes every week, clearly each week of the yr, and even right here at the week between Christmas and New Yr’s. So, you realize, it will, uh, it will, it is almost certainly, I doubt there may be many in the market have listened to each one from this yr.
So this is a amusing concept to roughly return and say, listed here are the preferred ones and take a look at it.
Spencer: Yeah, I agree. And possibly if there may be any one that is listened to they all, you realize, tell us, um, you realize, on the finish of this episode, we are going to percentage our, uh, two favourite podcasts that were not essentially the preferred, however our two favourite, if any one else has a favourite, uh, interview, podcast interview, tell us.
Uh, we might like to, to listen to about that. So I determine let’s simply leap into it. We are going to roughly run via those, um. And percentage our ideas at the episodes. Um, and ahead of, ahead of we hit document right here, um, I believe we each agree that a few of these episodes roughly stunned us. Yeah. I did not notice those have been going to be the preferred, uh, episodes of the yr.
Jared: I think like, surely as a number, I, I, I do not in point of fact pay a large number of consideration to The numbers at the listens and stuff, however the comments, you realize, we are extra concerned with once we get shared on social media or other feedback we get introduced in on. And so, um, most likely that is a part of what has framed, you realize, my mindset is those that we were given tagged on extra, were given requested extra questions about or that form of factor.
And so, yeah, there have been some unexpected ones, however, you realize, I imply, that is what the numbers are. Uh, the knowledge
Spencer: does not lie. The knowledge does not lie. Yep. And, uh, so the way in which that I were given, uh, those numbers is since the podcast is on a a number of other platforms, uh, however one is audio listens. And so I do have an mixture quantity for the entire audio listens, whether or not that is apple podcast, spotify, any place else that folks concentrate to their audio podcast.
I am able to get that one quantity, um, in my podcast webhosting dashboard. Uh, after which there may be youtube. Proper. That may be a lot of listens or perspectives as smartly. It simply depends upon the episode. And so I roughly, uh, added those numbers in combination. Uh, and naturally the episodes with the combination choice of essentially the most listens or perspectives.
Is are the 3 that we are going to be sharing. So, uh, having stated that permit’s, you realize, possibly let’s cross in opposite order right here. Oh, throw a curve ball. Um, you realize, 5 seconds in the past, I instructed you we are going to do one order, however let’s, let’s do with the
Jared: 3rd. I’m going to get started on the finish of my notes then.
Spencer: Yeah. Yeah. Um, transfer that up.
The 3rd maximum listened to episode, uh, of the yr. Um, and that episode was once the interview with Grady HUD. Uh, and so let me, um, percentage my display screen simply to roughly, uh, evaluate, uh, remind listeners and audience what this interview was once. I imply, that is performed again in March of this yr, however the identify was once how Grady HUD grew his area of interest web site to 9, 000 monthly in simply two years with none search engine optimization enjoy.
And so, uh, Grady is on Twitter. He is beautiful lively there. Um, it was once, he will have modified his username. It was once area of interest grades. Now it can be as simply Grady HUD. Um, in any case, you’ll be able to in finding them there, um, on, on Twitter, however, uh, I believe I will simply give my two cents, Jared, after which I’m going to allow you to leap in because you hosted the, the episode, however.
It looks like, or, or one attention-grabbing factor about this episode of why possibly it did so smartly is I believe other people experience listening to tales of people that, um, are roughly newbies or ranging from the start. Those who don’t seem to be making hundreds of thousands a yr. The ones which might be making like. A possible, it looks like achievable, however nonetheless very a hit sum of money that did it both like with out enjoy or have some distinctive background.
Proper? So I think like possibly this is the reason the Grady episode resonated in point of fact smartly with other people as a result of he shared a tale of, Howdy, I did not have any enjoy two years in the past when 9, 000 a month. Um, I think like, uh, that is. You realize, that, that is a large reason why for why this episode almost certainly did, did smartly. Yeah,
Jared: I, I agree one hundred pc with what you are pronouncing.
We now have had a few the ones tales all the way through the yr of the very a lot, like simply very a lot the uncooked tale of somebody entering this with out, Any earlier, whether or not you name it search engine optimization enjoy or affiliate internet marketing enjoy, and simply going from an excessively, you realize, rags to riches sort tale, if you are going to, you realize, and that is simply a perfect tale.
Um, if I take note appropriately, Grady nonetheless works complete time, nonetheless has a task. He is doing this at the aspect. He instructed tales about writing articles as he. Rode the bus and stuff. And, you realize, there may be simply very a lot a, an excessively relatable tale for a large number of the listeners right here. Yeah.
Spencer: And, uh, that was once the opposite factor is that I do imagine he did have a complete time task that he was once operating and I agree.
Relatability like is so key. Proper. And it was once for me when I used to be. Beginning out when I used to be taking a look to hand over my task, proper. I all the time sought after to peer any person posting their good fortune on-line that I may just actually like relate to, like, k, however does this particular person like have youngsters? Like, does this particular person paintings a complete time task?
Like, or does this particular person have a ton of cash or no matter it’s? Like I sought after any person as on the subject of me as imaginable. That was once only one step forward of me.
Jared: Yeah, it is true. Like we’ve several types of visitors in this podcast and there may be the visitors, like one of the vital ones. I will be able to be speaking about who has a ton of enjoy on this trade.
And we glance to these kinds of other people for various issues, proper? Like surely in that podcast, I am on the lookout for their skilled insights. Like that is what I wish to be told from them as a result of they’re extra an expert, extra of a professional in positive spaces than most likely we or other listeners are. Those tales are precisely what you speak about.
Like. Giving us that shot of inspiration that may lend a hand transfer a large number of other people over the road that claims, Oh my goodness, I will be able to do that. Oh, this particular person is doing this. I will be able to relate to what they only stated. That was once simply, that was once me that what they stated, that was once them two years in the past. That is me presently. And so the ones kinds of issues are actual pictures within the arm.
Spencer: Yeah, completely. Um, I agree. So, uh, possibly with that, let’s cross directly to the second one. Maximum listened to episode of the yr. And, uh, the second one maximum listened to interview was once Forrest Weber. Uh, and the identify of his podcast interview was once how Forrest Weber grew to 40, 000 monthly after changing apartment homes.
And so, um, pressured has a fab tale, proper? He was once, um, he had apartment homes, was once concerned with making an investment in actual property. Uh, after which he form of shifted his mindset mindset, however introduced a large number of the similar ideas, the similar processes and procedures. Um, to 2 web pages and he roughly faithful his time to development out a portfolio of web pages, roughly like he had a portfolio of homes, uh, ahead of he checked out it as this funding way.
Ok. I will, you realize, construct or purchase, uh, this entire portfolio and, uh, see what I will be able to do. And so on the time of the interview, I am seeking to glance right here, um, 20 web pages that generate as much as 40, 000 monthly. So tremendous cool, uh, interview and tale, I believe.
Jared: Other people all the time love the dimensions tale too. I imply, you realize, the very first thing that occurs, uh, within the mindset, no longer pronouncing everybody does this, however to your thoughts, whenever you get a a hit first web site is you assume, Oh my goodness, can I do a 2d web site?
Must I do a 2d web site? Glossy gadgets syndrome kicks in, which we speak about so much right here. So that is, um, you realize, it is humorous, Spencer, I have no idea about you. Like once I. The tale I have landed on when other people roughly question me about development web pages, you realize, possibly I am at a celebration in my community or I am speaking to somebody and someway it comes up about development web pages.
The most efficient analogy I give other people is it is roughly like actual property, you realize, it is a little bit like development actual property and you are roughly development on-line property versus actual property, actual property, proper? And, um, I believe this tale with Forrest is in part why he is such a success is he is treating his web pages.
Such a lot so like that actual property type that he was once such a success at ahead of this.
Spencer: Yeah, precisely. And you realize, a part of that way is taking a look at, um, each your winners and your losers taking that whole portfolio way. And most likely that is reducing probably the most losers, making an investment extra into the winners, proper?
Uh, and studying how one can scale the entire procedure. And so I really like the type of industry thoughts that he took at the back of this. After which after all, uh, as a result of he constructed this type of large portfolio and crew, uh, he began a virtual advertising and marketing company. Proper. Uh, and in order that’s additionally a part of his industry that I have no idea that that 40, 000 a month incorporated.
His, um, virtual, I assume is what it is known as his company. I don’t believe so. Um, I have no idea that he shared his company numbers, uh, as smartly on most sensible of that, however he is constructed a a hit company on, on most sensible of that as smartly. So
Jared: it was once a excellent concentrate as smartly for other people like a large number of other people, um, in our trade are, um, they are roughly, you realize, do it allers.
Proper. And he has, he began with the mindset from the very starting that there are issues he is excellent at on this area and issues he is not excellent at. And I do know he spent a large number of time within the interview speaking about how he discovered other people to spouse with, how he introduced on different crew participants to roughly make up for his, his lack of awareness in positive spaces.
And that is the reason a excellent ability that we will all roughly lean into, particularly if, if scale is at the horizon for us.
Yep,
Spencer: precisely. I believe that is so essential. Um, a large number of occasions I am getting caught doing the entire little main points in my industry and I in finding that, um, I will be able to get slightly bit extra, extra freedom or scale slightly bit higher once I simply even rent out the most straightforward of duties.
Perhaps it is only a, uh, a decrease stage VA that may take care of a large number of. Easy issues. Um, and so I really like, I really like, uh, what Forrest shared there. Other people can concentrate to that, get a reminder, a refresher, uh, some excellent, uh, industry guidelines. And if any one spotted at the display screen, uh, it says, you realize, December twenty seventh, we made an replace to this text.
The true interview was once about 10 months in the past. I believe it was once, uh, like past due February, early March, uh, is when this interview was once in reality printed with, uh, Forrest Weber. So, k. And in order that brings us to the number 1 most well liked podcast of all of the yr, uh, for the area of interest interests podcast was once the interview with Shelly Marmore.
Uh, and the identify this is how Shelly Marmore grew her per thirty days source of revenue from 700 to 52, 000 in 12 months with associate search engine optimization. I imply, what, what is to not love about that tale, proper? That identify. Uh, I believe it hits on. What we have been speaking about previous, beginning at a degree that is comprehensible. Proper? You’ve a site that is making 700 a month.
Everyone’s like, k, I will be able to do this. And I am already at that stage, however how do I am getting to 52, 000 a month in a yr? That is like a should concentrate tale. Uh, and so Shelly tells that tale, she is a commute blogger. In truth, she has no longer one, no longer two, however 3 or 4. I
Jared: assume it is much more. Is it 4? She stated, yeah, I used to be taking a look at
Spencer: that.
Yeah, I used to be attempting to bear in mind. I realize it was once a portfolio, however like for commute blogs, which is attention-grabbing all within the, you realize, identical area of interest, they duvet other nations or places.
Jared: The majority income have been on that one giant site although,
Spencer: you realize, yeah, uh, was once it
commute
Jared: Mexico? Yeah, commute Mexico solo.
com. I believe it’s. Yeah,
Spencer: commute Mexico solo. com Yep is our primary web site which could also be very cool when any person comes on and say hello I am doing this and that is the reason a hit and this is my site so you’ll be able to cross test it out and take a look at it and be told Like that is simply the most productive of each worlds. So, uh, Shelly, uh, tale is tremendous inspirational and, uh, she’s scaled briefly.
Um, do you take note what probably the most keys to her scaling have been, uh,
Jared: Jared? Yeah. Yeah. Um, and I, by means of the way in which, I believe you. Like in the beginning once I heard that this was once the number 1. Episode of the yr whilst you shared it, I used to be like, wow, in point of fact? Um, but if I sat again and thought of it, you stated precisely what I used to be pondering, like this in point of fact had all of it.
Adore it has that roughly from the very fundamentals to good fortune storyline we mentioned with Grady. It has got the large, giant numbers, you realize, incomes mid 5 figures a month now. It has got the fast time horizon. It is, um, after which once we, she shared her websites, there was once heaps to heaps to construct off of there. I imply, it is in point of fact were given all of it, however yeah, I imply, I did return and I did re concentrate to portions of this one to arrange for lately.
I didn’t get to hear the entire thing, you realize, um, much more, much more going in this week on holiday than I expected, however no, she, it is a in point of fact excellent concentrate. So a few issues in point of fact briefly. If you are listening, you are questioning, no, her web site didn’t get hit by means of the HCU. She did. Um, did cross down slightly bit with one of the vital core updates, nevertheless it appears love it gave again possibly simply probably the most key phrases that she had earned previous in the summertime.
So it is nonetheless doing rather well from what I may just see from a handy guide a rough look and a large number of the stuff that she’s doing to construct her site piggybacks on a large number of the conversations we now have been having about what it looks as if to construct a site going ahead in 2024 and past. She’s in point of fact deeply masking the subject.
She’s pulling on her personal experience. You realize, she is a solo traveler dwelling in Mexico and has been doing. So I believe she stated for 9 years. So she’s pulling in all of her personal studies and all of her personal experience when she’s writing the content material. She talked so much about how she did key phrase analysis.
She builds out giant topical hubs with the large key phrases, the lengthy tail key phrases, and the way she creates associate taste content material that in point of fact showcases. Which is best possible and why. In order that’s mainly the spine of the way she did it. And she or he roughly stocks a perfect playbook for a large number of the issues we speak about
Spencer: going ahead.
Yeah, that is a excellent level that, uh, a web site that was once a hit firstly of this yr, she in point of fact constructed that groovy, nice basis for like, Howdy, that is, will have to simply be a excellent industry going ahead. Uh, she’s, she’s constructed it proper. Uh, and something that I really like right here that I after all have to indicate is that she does a whole lot of inside linking and he or she makes use of hyperlink whisper.
Uh, so I really like that, that, uh, she has her on web page, her web site construction, the whole lot rather well arranged and below keep watch over. And she or he’s the use of a useful tool, Hyperlink Whisper, to lend a hand her do this.
Jared: Smartly, Spencer, to not, uh, be too ominous, however that may not be the final connection with Hyperlink Whisper in this podcast
Spencer: right here. Oh, smartly, k, excellent.
I love that. We’re going to get a double whammy right here. Double whammy, uh, loose promoting, uh, for Hyperlink Whisper. That is a great way to complete out the yr. I adore it. Uh, So, however yeah, nice interview and I adore it once more as a result of it is, it is simply, she’s very right down to earth and really relatable. Proper. And, uh, simply a very simple and fascinating interview to hear.
So this is the reason, um, you realize, it almost certainly did so smartly. Um, however I additionally was once, yeah, stunned once I regarded on the numbers like, oh, I didn’t notice she was once, uh, the preferred podcast of the yr. You may assume that I might know that as a result of I do take a look at the numbers extra ceaselessly, however I do not ceaselessly take a look at the, you realize, in a, in a calendar yr, um, you realize, what is, what is been the most productive, um, one of the vital yr.
So.
Jared: It is, it is, it is smart whilst you forestall and give it some thought. And I believe that that is cool. I imply, you realize, clearly, uh, the numbers are the numbers, like I stated previous, however this one makes a large number of sense. The extra I thought of it. So,
Spencer: yeah, yep, for sure. All proper. Excellent. So that’s the most sensible 3.
Podcast of the yr, the preferred, uh, however Jared and I every had our personal favourite. We went via, we regarded on the catalog of the entire interviews that have been performed, you realize, like 50, uh, interviews and we picked out every our favourite. And so, uh, Jared, possibly I’m going to allow you to cross first after which I’m going to wrap it up with my favourite display.
Oh guy, this
Jared: curve balls left and proper right here lately. I do know. Uh, yeah, that is exhausting. I imply, I am the one that did the majority of the interviews this yr. So to not say that it is like a non-public factor, however, um, you realize, there may be surely bits items I beloved about each, each unmarried interview. Um, uh, and so that is in point of fact exhausting for me to select.
It is like attempting to select which child you like essentially the most. Um, no longer slightly that dramatic, however I’ve to mention that the person who I refer again to essentially the most. The person who I nonetheless proceed to speak about essentially the most. I ship this to purchasers at my company. I ship it to other people, um, with I engage with on Twitter. Like I, I, I referenced this podcast so much.
And so I had, once I thought of it, I needed to come again to this one as my favourite of the yr. And that was once our. Uh, interview with Cyrus Shepard on inside linking. Um, he did a, there it’s at the display screen. He did a large find out about, analyzed 23 million inside hyperlinks. Uh, it was once over 1800 web pages. And the ideas that he shared at the podcast was once so succinct, so transparent.
And really easy to grasp the consequences that he were given. After which the power for him to in point of fact percentage the entire explanation why at the back of it all. Like I discovered such a lot of, such a lot actionable details about the method of inside linking, precisely how one can do it in keeping with what the knowledge says. After which I were given to invite him a large number of questions I have all the time sought after to understand on sort of a few extensive inside linking subjects.
And he, he gave in point of fact, in point of fact insightful solutions to every of them.
Spencer: Yeah. It is a, it is the sort of like. It sounds tremendous records heavy and it’s, he did this large find out about of 23 million inside hyperlinks, proper? Like that is like PhD stage sort stuff. Yeah. You realize, I have never performed that. Um, however it is very actionable. I, I do love that.
He mainly on the finish of the day, you’ll be able to stroll away with like, k, this is no longer best why inside hyperlinks are essential, however this is how one can do it. Proper. Um, like even a few of these issues I used to be taking a look at, proper? Like taking all of your 4 or 4 pages and in reality the use of a 301 redirect, proper? To essential pages, a few of this hyperlink sculpting methods that you’ll be able to enforce lately that may beef up the entire, um, authority and expectantly score of your site on the finish of the day.
Yeah. I imply, if
Jared: you are talking of actionable, like if you are questioning, like he stocks precisely what number of inside hyperlinks are the correct quantity. He stocks precisely the method for anchor texts that you just will have to be the use of. Um, he stocks the place your inside hyperlinks will have to cross, which of them are a very powerful at the web page.
All of this subsidized by means of records. Very attention-grabbing.
Spencer: Yeah. And, uh, I, I guess that is the second one time that you just have been going to possibly convey up Hyperlink Whisper. He is additionally a
Jared: giant fan of Hyperlink Whisper. And, um, and mentioned that. And that is the reason to not, I say that slightly tongue in cheek, but in addition I believe that that is attention-grabbing.
As a result of this is somebody who understands inside linking at like essentially the most nuanced of ranges. And says that your plugin, Hyperlink Whisper, does an excellent task at a large number of that effort for doing that effort for you. In order that, that speaks to the facility of Hyperlink Whisper and most likely, you realize, that this is a, a plugin this is pleasant the inner linking wishes of lately’s Google and site atmosphere.
Spencer: And prefer, it was once slightly bit unexpected to me once I, once I first heard the interview, like ahead of the interview, I did not communicate to, you realize, to Cyrus and say, Howdy, you realize, are you going to say Hyperlink Whisper or anything else like that? I had no concept, proper. That he, he used Hyperlink Whisper. Um, he, he simply came about to be conversant in the device and feature used it.
And, you realize, stated some good stuff about it, um, which is superior, which could also be slightly bit unexpected as a result of I believe that they promote some tool over it, um, you realize, at Zippy. I believe
Jared: so. I believe he discussed
Spencer: that too. Yeah. Yeah. You realize, they, they have were given some equipment, uh, as smartly. And so, uh, simply, simply very cool to listen to that.
Um, and I assume I’m going to point out it now. I wasn’t making plans on citing this, however you realize. If any one is concerned with Hyperlink Whisper, I do occur to be working a distinct deal presently that. Ends January 1st. So, you realize, if you happen to concentrate to this podcast episode, you realize, the following day or no matter, uh, you’ll be able to get this particular deal.
Uh, mainly we are elevating costs within the new yr, however, uh, we are discounting the present worth slightly bit. So other people can test that out. Simply cross to hyperlink whisper. com. Uh, if you wish to get a hyperlink whisper for just about the most productive worth, we are going to offer it at. Perhaps ever once more. Um, you’ll be able to cross forward and get that.
However, uh, yeah, I in point of fact loved Cyrus’s, uh, interview. I roughly benefit from the records research, the large research, you realize, we generally tend to reference Glenn additionally up so much and he does a large number of those giant research and it roughly suits in that identical vein. And so I really like these kind of of interviews and research that he is performed.
Jared: Smartly, Spencer. It is right down to you presently, and I am very curious to listen to your favourite episode of the, uh, of the calendar yr of 2023. Yeah,
Spencer: it’s, it’s so tricky to select. Um, I used to be taking a look at a number of those, and also you do a perfect task. I will be able to simply give a hat tip to you, Jared, for, for nice interviews, and I listen that so much.
Um, from folks that, uh, you, you do a perfect task interviewing. So kudos to you. Um, and so it was once tricky to select. Uh, however the person who I went with was once Kevin Espiritu with Epic Gardening. Uh, I believe it is simply this type of attention-grabbing tale, proper? Um. A part of it is the relate talent and a part of it is the no longer relate talent, proper?
I am in awe of what he is been ready to perform. Um, you realize, his tale begins in point of fact in like 2016, which sure, is what? 7 years in the past. So I assume that is roughly a very long time in Web years, however in point of fact no longer that lengthy. Um. You realize, in, in 2016, 2017, he had this very small gardening area of interest site, and it was once like the remainder of us simply development a distinct segment site, seeking to rank for key phrases.
Um, you realize, he was once making, I will be able to’t take note now, I even simply, oh, 400. That is, that is roughly what it was once. He was once, you realize, he is making like 400 greenbacks in 2016 monthly. And, um, someday alongside the way in which, uh, he determined, you realize what, if I wish to scale this industry, he constructed it as much as like 4 or 5, 000 a month.
And he talks about this at the interview. It was once like, k, this is sufficient to survive, however is it in point of fact a lot better than I, you realize, I may just simply have a complete time task that is making 60, 70, 80, 000 a yr. That was once slightly extra, uh, safety. That has advantages, proper. And some of these issues. So he is like, k, I wish to scale this slightly bit additional.
And he roughly saved going in this trail of like, k, how will we scale this? Um, and lengthy tale brief, I imply, now it is an 8 determine a yr industry. They are doing greater than 10 million a yr. And I simply love that he began with a distinct segment site, however he saved discovering, discovering techniques to reach the industry, whether or not that was once rising his YouTube channel, which is now at like nearly 3 million subscribers to rising Tik TOK, which I have no idea.
There is quite a lot of subscribers, however it is large, uh, to social media. He is crushing it to the large one among. His personal merchandise, proper? They, they have got a seed corporate. Uh, they have got, um, bodily merchandise that they promote as smartly. Uh, they are in, you realize, retail retail outlets. So I simply love that he began with the area of interest web site and now he is simply this huge industry this is scaled in all techniques imaginable.
Jared: I communicate so much about how in my more than a few companies all the way through the years, like companies all the time hit plateaus and, uh, it is not. No longer, no longer essentially a foul factor or since you did one thing fallacious. It is simply companies undergo sessions of enlargement. They undergo sessions of plateau.
