Little Review Website Now Earns $1.4 Million a Year

Robert BrandlFounder of Tooltester.com $120,000 monthly revenue
Published July 28, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty

Robert Brandl is the guy behind Tooltester.com. 

Back in 2009, he was working at a marketing agency in Germany but wanted to start his own business.

His plan was to go on a sabbatical, travel around Asia, and blog about his experience.

But while researching how to start a blog, Robert struggled to find good information on website builders, many of which were still new at the time.

Rather than being frustrated, he saw this as an opportunity

He wrote in a recent interview…

I found really easy website builders like Weebly, Wix, and Squarespace. But unlike today, there was hardly any information about them online. So I used a free website builder (Webnode) and put together a very small review website for them. Initial startup costs: the price of a .com domain name and a couple of stock photos.

Just 5 weeks after launch, Robert earned his first $30 affiliate commission when someone found his site via Google and purchased a website builder package he recommended.

The next month, I already crossed the $100 mark, which I would have never expected. That was the moment when I thought about building a real business on top of this website.

Fast-forward another 6 months and I handed in my resignation!

And now…

Tooltester makes a revenue of around $120k per month.

Over the years, Robert has focused on growing the site’s traffic through SEO. He targeted high search volume keywords related to top website builders.

This strategy worked well, driving 80-90% of the site’s traffic. At its peak during the pandemic, the site was getting 676K monthly visitors

Robert also expanded the site’s scope by reviewing software beyond just website builders: tools like email marketing services, live chat, and more. This allowed him to tap into new keywords and traffic sources.

Now, the site ranks for over 92,000 keywords (source: SE Ranking) such as

website set up  squarespace pricing  how to start a website  how to create a website  setup websites  make logos for free

In 2020, Robert purchased a competing website called HowToGetOnline.com, which had a strong Domain Authority of 71. 

It’s taken them a while to integrate that site into Tooltester (by setting up redirects), but it looks like the acquisition is paying off nicely in terms of increased traffic and rankings

One more interesting thing about Tooltester is the localization of the site. They started with English and now operate in 7 languages, which further expands their traffic potential.

In fact, SE Ranking estimates that Spain sends more traffic to the site than any other country (14%), while Germany is third (10%).

Perhaps that in itself could be a business: providing “localization as a service” to big websites, helping them translate their content to reach other markets

The Obsession of Christopher Nolan

Oppenheimer is crushing at the box office right now

And the Founders podcast has a timely episode breaking down some of the habits and mindsets of director Christopher Nolan.

Something about Nolan that comes up over and over again is how obsessed he gets with movie projects

Nolan’s words…

The only way I know how to work is to sort of burrow in on one project very obsessively.

People will say to me, “There are people online who are obsessed with Inception or obsessed with Memento.”

They’re asking me to comment on that, as if I thought it were weird or something, and I’m like, Well, I was obsessed with it for years. Genuinely obsessed with it. So it doesn’t strike me as weird. . . I feel like I have managed to wrap them up in it the way I try to wrap myself up.

It’s a good way to get ahead in business: become obsessed with your craft.

Imagine you open a bakery in your town because you hear bakeries are great money-makers

But then another bakery opens up right beside yours, and the guy running that bakery is absolutely obsessed with baking. He’s read all the books, watches all the YouTube videos, works longer hours and puts more care and attention into every detail of the business.

It’s going to be very hard to compete with someone like that. Especially if you’re mainly in it for the money

So if you’re not sure what kind of business you should start, take the advice of Founders podcast host David Senra…

I love the fact that [Nolan] asked himself, “What do I want to do most right now? What am I willing to obsess about over the next few years?”

I think it’s a great idea to pause and ask yourself that question.

And hey, if there’s nothing you can imagine yourself getting obsessed with, that’s okay. You can still earn a good living without following your passion

$92,900 in 1 Month Recommending Other Newsletters

Unknown PersonNewsletter Operator $92,900 in 1 month via Sparkloop
Published July 28, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty

Louis Nicholls runs Sparkloop, a newsletter growth platform

One of the main things it does is reward newsletter operators for recommending other newsletters.

Louis recently tweeted about a payout of $92,900 to one operator…

New payout record!

Soooo close to our first 6-figure payout in a single month to one newsletter operator…

(spoiler alert, it’s already guaranteed to happen for several next month)

So that one newsletter operator referred a bunch of subscribers to other newsletters, getting paid anywhere from $1 to $5 per confirmed sub… amounting to $93k in one month

In response to the news, John Bardos tweeted that the mystery operator is likely spending a lot on ads themselves…

They must be adding 40k to 50k new subscribers every month to make those numbers. 

That means they must be spending $40k+ per month. It’s probably closer to double that.

(Unless it’s an AI newsletter. Then the costs are probably half.)

Folks have been trying to guess who the operator is.

It may well be Sahil Bloom, who grew his newsletter to 400k subscribers in 36 months. Part of his strategy is apparently a “Sparkloop flywheel,” like John alluded to.

Regardless of who it is, the important lesson here is this: building a large audience opens up many opportunities.

I didn’t think it was possible for a newsletter to earn $93k in one month simply by recommending other newsletters… but there you go.

With such a big and engaged audience, that same operator could monetize in many other ways if they so choose

Speaking gigsOffline conferencesPaid newsletter subscriptionsOnline coursesMembership communitiesAffiliate marketingBook salesConsultingInvesting opportunitiesEtc.

All that to say, don’t underestimate the value of building an audience.

And how do you build an audience?

Lots of great tips in that Sahil Bloom profile I mentioned above, but this is probably the main thing…

Sahil has always said that he’s not the best at anything he does, but he will outwork you…

If you show up over and over, people come to know you and take you more seriously than someone who talks about a topic for a little while and then disappears.

His Micro Saas Journey: Zero to $500K in 2 Years

Rick BlythFounder of Merch Wizard $500,000 earned from micro SaaS apps
Published July 28, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty

Rick Blyth had been a software engineer for almost 20 years, but he found it to be chaotic and unfulfilling

Looking for a way out, he discovered Amazon Merch, an on-demand t-shirt printing service. (You basically provide the designs and Amazon prints and ships the orders.)

But Rick quickly became frustrated trying to manage his growing portfolio of t-shirt designs with Merch’s clunky interface

So he decided to scratch his own itch and fix the problem.

He explains in an interview….

I created a few free Chrome extensions that fixed some of the immediate frustrations as a Merch creator myself.

Rick released free tools, engaged in communities to build credibility, and only ever asked for email addresses in return for his tools.

He then dropped his first paid extension, Merch Batch Editor. He built it in a weekend, sold it for $13 a pop, and watched it rack up over $3K in sales in about a year

That small success gave Rick the confidence to build his flagship product: Merch Wizard. That app helped sellers organize their massive merch catalog across all of Amazon’s marketplaces.

Rick decided to build and ship the first version of Merch Wizard within 90 days. He continued improving the product while still working full-time.

But “after a particularly prosperous Black Friday sale,” Rick finally took the leap to leave his job and focus on Merch Wizard

Partnering with influencers and providing good customer support got him good reviews, which in turn led to more sales and word-of-mouth marketing.

Rick later built KDP Wizard, a similar tool for Kindle publishers.

Combined, he was earning about $10,000 per month from those “micro SaaS” apps

Then, after 2 years of bootstrapping, Rick sold both tools for a nice exit.

He writes on his website…

I went on to make over $500,000 from my Micro SaaS apps through the subscription income and cash lump sum I received when I sold and exited.

So he went from zero to half a million dollars in about 2 years

A good takeaway from Rick: keep trying different things.

Rick tried Amazon Merch and that didn’t go great for him, but it gave him the idea to build tools for other Merch sellers.

Hard to get ideas while standing still. They flow much easier once you’re in motion.

Hey, I’m Niall Doherty.

I quit my last 9-to-5 job back in 2010.

Since then, I’ve earned my living online in various ways. Over the last 3 years (through 2022) I’ve earned $536,000 from my laptop.

I’m on a mission to accurately rate and review all the best online business courses. My team and I are spending many hours investigating these courses and getting feedback from real students.

All that to say: we know a thing or two about such courses and making money online.

The Best Day Trading Course?

We’re on a mission to find the best trading course based on our own extensive research plus feedback from real students.

Warrior Trading is decent but not the best we’ve seen…

How does Warrior Trading help you make money?

Warrior Trading aims to help you make money online by day trading stocks.

The value of public companies changes a lot throughout the day. The goal is to buy pieces of a company, called stocks, when the value is low and sell them when it is high.

Here’s more info from the sales page…

It starts with our strategy courses where students learn the fundamentals of trading. Next, you’ll be able put that knowledge into practice in our simulator—which allows you to practice trading without the financial risk. Once you are ready to trade with real money, we provide you with tools like our Stock Scanners to find the best opportunities for profitable trading each day. Our Trading Psychology Team, the community of our Live Trading Chat Room, and our dedicated support team will also help you manage the emotional highs and lows of day trading.

Learn more about day tradingWho is Warrior Trading for?

Warrior Trading doesn’t seem to target anyone in particular. It does offer a free guide to beginners, though…

But I’ve seen multiple students mention his techniques are not for beginners…

Also, considering how much investment is required to day trade (see below), I’d say this training would be most helpful for experienced investors looking to get started with day trading.

70+ ways how to make money online (including easy options)Does Ross Cameron have a good reputation?

Yes and no.

Ross opened his first trading account in 2001.

Since then, he’s become best known for turning $583.15 into over $10 million in the stock market.

From Ross’ bio…

In January of 2017 I funded a brand new trading account, with just $583.15. As I share with you my experience with this small account challenge, I want to remind you that my results trading are NOT typical. Most traders lose money, and there is no guarantee that you’ll find any success. But you already know that. And I’m sure you understand that I’m not a typical trader, in fact, I don’t know anyone else who has done what I’ve done. I wanted to prove that my strategy worked on an account that small. In 44 days, I turned the account into over $100k, and that was just the beginning.

Beyond being a remarkable trader, the consensus seems to be that he’s an effective educator.

He has over 1 million subscribers on YouTube…

And plenty of people speak highly of him…

Source: YouTube

From Trustpilot…

And Reddit…

Source: Reddit

Investopedia and Business Insider also had good things to say.

Investopedia rated Warrior Trading as the “Best Comprehensive Offering.”

And Business Insider rated it as the runner-up for best day trading course. Bear Bull Traders was rated #1.

Ross has posted verified earning statements since 2017. This basically proves he’s earning what he claims…

He also had an independent audit of his results from 1/1/2017 – 12/31/2022, further verifying his results…

At the time of writing, Warrior Trading has 4.8 stars on Trustpilot…

And 4.95+ stars on BBB.org…

But here’s where things get a little messy.

On April 19, 2022, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) publicized that Warrior Trader would be required to pay $3 million back to students due to “bogus money-making claims”…

Source: FTC.gov

Warrior Trader’s marketing messaging included…

“Learn to Trade With Certainty Towards The Financial Freedom You’ve Always Wanted”“Learn How I Made over $101,280.47 in Verified Profits Day Trading Part Time in Under 45 Days Using 3 Simple Strategies that You Can Use Immediately to Increase profits and Reduce Losses NOW!”“Start trading over my shoulder side-by-side with me because I guarantee you that next week, the week after, the week after that, I’ll be trading the one or two stocks each day that move up 20 to 30 percent.”

As it turns out, “the vast majority of customers actually lost money trading—in some cases thousands of dollars—on top of the thousands they paid Warrior Trading.”

At the beginning of 2023, FTC announced that Warrior Trading returned more than $2.9 million to misled customers…

Source: FTC.gov

This case set a precedent and served as a warning to other course creators not to make false statements about earning potential.

Whether Warrior Trader intentionally misled customers or failed to ensure the legality of its statements is anyone’s guess. I think it’s the latter.

You won’t find earning claims anywhere on the new Warrior Trading site anymore.

In fact, there’s now wording that brings attention to the riskiness of trading…

Every course should accurately communicate the risk associated with their methods – and most legit ones do.

So if you come across a course that seems too good to be true, let this FTC case remind you that it probably is.

Next, two recurring claims echo suspicions of fake Trustpilot reviews and “pumping and dumping” stocks.

Pumping and dumping is a type of scam where someone boosts the value of a stock they own. That’s called pumping.

Then, they sell their stock at this high price. That’s called dumping. After they’ve sold, the price drops back down. The people who bought the stock at a high price now have a loss.

The (unproven) claims…

I’d assume the FTC is keeping a pretty close tab on Ross and Warrior Trading, so I think these claims are unlikely, considering no action has been taken yet.

Regarding whether there are fake positive Trustpilot reviews, I have seen cases where blatantly bad courses have hundreds of 5-star reviews.

I believe it’s a Trustpilot issue more than anything, and these claims appear to be unsubstantiated as of now in Warrior Trading’s case.

Here’s a video from Ross’ YouTube channel so you can get a feel for his style…

Are Ross Cameron students getting results?

There’s no shortage of positive student feedback…

However, I wasn’t able to find any public student earning results. I’d imagine this is to play it safe with the FTC.

I did find one student posting results in one of the chat rooms…

But earnings screenshots don’t mean much when it comes to trading. Someone might have a great week but three prior weeks of losses.

According to the SEC, most day traders never make money when all is said and done…

Day traders typically suffer severe financial losses in their first months of trading, and many never graduate to profit-making status. Given these outcomes, it’s clear: day traders should only risk money they can afford to lose. They should never use money they will need for daily living expenses, retirement, take out a second mortgage, or use their student loan money for day trading.

How much does Warrior Trading cost?

Warrior Trading has two primary memberships.

Warrior Starter…

Basic – $698 one-time, then $97/mo for toolsBasics + Scanners – $698 one-time, then $247/mo for tools

Warrior Pro…

Course + tools (monthly) – $2,798 one-time, then $247/mo or yearly for toolsCourse + tools (yearly) – $3,997 one-time, then $247/mo or yearly for tools

A quick overview from the pricing page…

The one-time fee grants access to the training for 3 years. The tools are optional and subscription-based.

In terms of additional capital needed for day trading, you can always use fake or “paper money” to practice.

When you want to use real funds, the US government requires you to have a minimum of $25,000 to invest.

From SEC.gov…

The minimum equity requirement for a customer who is a pattern day trader is $25,000. This $25,000 requirement must be deposited into the designated customer’s account prior to any day trading activities and must be maintained at all times.

So you’ll need around ~$30k to follow Warrior Trading.

Warrior Trading Discount?

Yes, Warrior Trading offers discounts to students who try the Pro Preview…

$1,999 one-time for monthly (save $499), then $247/mo or yearly for tools$3,197 one-time for yearly (save $800), then $247/mo or yearly for toolsRefund Policy

Warrior Trading offers no refunds.

The official word from the refund policy…

All payments made to Warrior Trading in connection with any product purchased or account or service, and any renewal thereof, are non-refundable; and Warrior Trading does not offer, and is not required to provide, any refunds or credits for any reason, including, without limitation, satisfaction or your failure to cancel your account or service prior to its automatic renewal.

I’m not a fan of policies like this, especially considering how pricey the training is. There are many digital trainings online that offer no-questions-asked refund guarantees.

How is Warrior Trading structured?

Here’s what the member’s area looks like when you login…

Once you navigate to the course…

And open a lesson…

You’ll find video lessons inside each course. Many are over-the-shoulder views inside trading softwares.

There’s no search functionality, and I found locating specific lessons and resources quite confusing and time-consuming.

You can also join the chat rooms, which are active all day during the week…

As well as frequent group mentorship calls…

Should you join Warrior Trading?

If you’re new to stock trading, I wouldn’t recommend starting with Warrior Trading. But if you’re more advanced, have spare cash, and are convinced you want to day trade, you’ll likely find a decent amount of value here.

If you’re on the fence, you should watch Ross’ YouTube videos or his free day trading class before buying. I highly recommended this given the high price and strict no-refund policy.

How does Family Bank Funding help you make money?

Family Bank Funding aims to help you make money online with real estate investing. The goal is to flip homes without using your money and instead use the “family bank.”

From the sales video…

Your first task is to find a bank-owned or pre-foreclosure home and convince the owner to sell it to you.

With foreclosed homes, the idea is that homeowners are more likely to sell because they get the chance to get paid when they otherwise would’ve just lost the house to the banks.

Next step is to find a buyer…

Finally, you can get up to $600k to fund the deal.

Unlike traditional bank loans, there aren’t specific requirements to qualify for funding…

Instead, funding is only available when you have both a buyer and seller ready. These transactions must occur on the same day to remove the lender’s risk.

This is called transactional funding. Many of these companies charge a fee when a deal closes, whereas Cameron’s program costs $97 upfront, and there are no fees for the first deal as long as it’s within 6 months of joining.

You make money from the difference between how much you buy the home for and what you sell it for to the new buyer.

Learn more about investingWho is Family Bank Funding for?

Family Bank Funding seems to target business opportunity seekers in general…

More specific segments include retirees, parents with full-time jobs, and work-from-home enthusiasts…

And the program claims anyone can do it, no matter their skill level…

While, in theory, it is as simple as finding a buyer and getting deals funded, a considerable amount of behind-the-scenes leg work is required to close deals.

The process is less independent than make-money-online models like affiliate marketing, trading, or copywriting.

Instead, to get the most out of Family Bank Funding, you’ll need to identify good properties, persuade homeowners to sell their home over the phone, negotiate with buyers, etc.

This REI strategy is undoubtedly labor-intensive but less so than methods like rehabbing. And the payoffs can still be substantial despite it being less risky.

70+ ways how to make money online (including easy options)Does Cameron Dunlap have a good reputation?

For the most part, yes.

Some history on Cameron from his website…

Since 1993, Cam has bought and sold 10’s of millions in Real Estate. Along the way, he also founded and is CEO of a software and training company called the Real Estate Wealth Network where he and his team create powerful, problem solving tools that have helped 10’s of thousands of other Real Estate Investors and Professionals do more transactions and make more money. Through it, he has also funded over $50,000,000 in deals for his clients and students, without charging any fees or points, through his innovative “No Fee Funding” program.

Online chatter about Cameron dates back to 2009. It looks like he’s been offering funding for a while…

In fact, Cameron claims to have funded over $50M worth of deals…

Source: Bigger Pockets

There’s been some negative customer feedback since 2009…

Source: BBB.orgSource: YouTube

A pattern I noticed is that most of these comments appear to be opinion-based or ad hominem attacks. Vocabulary.com'>2

The two potentially valid complaints I found were:

There are too many upsellsThe data they upsell is outdated

I couldn’t confirm the data’s quality, but I do know that a company called Awesome REI is responsible for handling sales.

And Awesome REI’s marketing can be sensational, IMO.

For example…

That line from the sales video isn’t true. At the very minimum, $100-$200 is required per deal (more on that in the pricing section).

And the sales video says…

I can’t accept too many people into the “family” at one time. Once we reach that limit, the doors will close with no warning. That could happen today, tomorrow, or next week

But something tells me there’s no limit to the number of people they’re letting in. The same statement was made when I first saw this offer over a year ago.

Aside from those questionable marketing tactics, AwesomeREI is reputable according to customers on BBB…

It also ranked in the 2022 INC 5000…

In my book, upsells don’t mean a course is scammy unless they are (or seem) required to follow the core training.

I didn’t feel the upsells were as aggressive as they were appealing, so I don’t fault REI Awesome.

The course host, JP Moses, has a solid reputation and experience too.

According to the Awesome REI website, he’s flipped hundreds of properties himself…

Back to Cameron, he’s received praise over the years as well…

Source: Bigger PocketsSource: BBB.org

So given Cameron Dunlap’s extensive history, I found an acceptable number of complaints relative to positive feedback.

Here’s a video from Cameron’s YouTube channel so you can get a feel for her style…

Are Cameron Dunlap’s students getting results?

According to Cameron, students make an average profit of over $21k…

I imagine that means those who completed deals, not all students who signed up.

In terms of the training, there are plenty of student result screenshots in the sales video…

It doesn’t look like any proof has been added for a while. Every review I saw is at least a year old.

But it seems the training proves effective for people who follow it consistently.

Whether that’s true for complete newbies is unclear, as I assume most of these results are from students with some REI experience.

How much does Family Bank Funding cost?

Family Bank Funding costs $97 one-time.

There are two upsells available immediately after purchasing…

Motivated Seller Data Feed ($299 then $99/mo)Instant Accountability check-in system ($127 one-time)

The motivated seller feed is software that finds bank-owned houses and foreclosure leads for you.

A little tip: decline the first upsell if you want to save $150 off the initial $299 price. You’ll then see a discounted price of $149…

Instant Accountability gives you access to a staff member for 30 days. You can contact this person anytime, and there’s also a weekly check-in.

In addition, the minimum needed to invest when buying a property is $100-$200.

This will be spent on an “earnest money deposit,” which basically shows the seller you’re a serious buyer…

Source: Intuit

You might get away with such a small deposit if buying privately from a pre-foreclosed homeowner, which is what Cameron suggests when starting out.

But according to Chase.com, the typical earnest money deposit for bank-owned homes is 1% to 3% of the purchase. It can be as high as 10%.

So if you were to use the entire $600k in funding to buy from the bank, you’d likely need to put down anywhere from $6,000 to $18,000.

Family Bank Funding Discount?

I’ve searched high and low for a discount or coupon code but haven’t found mention of one anywhere. There’s no place to enter a discount code at checkout either.

Sorry guys: it’s full-price or nothing.

Refund Policy

Family Bank Funding offers a 30-day, no questions asked money-back guarantee.

From the checkout page…

Family Bank Funding is proudly backed by the Awesome REI Team and a 30-day money-back guarantee. That means if you change your mind about this decision at any point in the next 30 days – all you need to do is email us, and we’ll be happy to refund your purchase.

I’ve heard that Awesome REI honors refund requests, so you can rest easy with this guarantee.

How is Family Bank Funding structured?

The training consists of 4 main modules, including a text-based overview of the lessons.

AwesomeREI’s user experience stands out from other courses. Rather than having a bland list of videos to watch, they conversationally guide you between lessons…

I counted a total of 19 videos averaging about 45 minutes each. All videos are accompanied by an audio-only version for on-the-go listening.

Cameron teaches while JP (the host) asks questions and provides insight where relevant.

Here’s a look at what the lessons look like…

My only complaint about the structure is that there’s no search feature.

While there’s not an overwhelming amount to sift through, being able to search would make it easier to navigate.

Easy Choices, Hard Life. Hard Choices, Easy Life.

From The Almanack of Naval Ravikant…

Like everything in life, if you are willing to make the short-term sacrifice, you’ll have the long-term benefit. 

My physical trainer (Jerzy Gregorek) is a really wise, brilliant guy. He always says, “Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life.” 

Basically, if you are making the hard choices right now in what to eat, you’re not eating all the junk food you want, and making the hard choice to work out. So, your life long-term will be easy. You won’t be sick. You won’t be unhealthy. The same is true of values. The same is true of saving up for a rainy day. The same is true of how you approach your relationships. 

If you make the easy choices right now, your overall life will be a lot harder.

Btw, I’ve been doing Jerzy’s Happy Body exercise program pretty much every day for a couple of years now.

It’s a great way to combat the issues that arise from sitting at a laptop for long periods of time

Facebook Ads Blueprint From a $10 Million Fitness Brand

Meredith ShirkFounder of Svelt Training $10 Million revenue in 2018
Published July 24, 2023 by Niall DohertyContributor: Fardeen Khan

Gael Breton recently tweeted…

It’s good to see the niche site world getting into FB ads.. but I think you guys are doing it wrong.

Buying likes will get you the lowest quality audiences.

Take it from a guy who spent almost $40,000 on FB ads in the last 2 months.

Instead, you should build a low-cost info product for your niche ($7-99 depending on the niche) or a Lead magnet that leads to a sales funnel.

Then advertise with conversions as a goal.

He goes on to explain why, and uses the example of Meredith Shirk

Meredith is in the nutrition niche: website + Facebook

She runs ads on Facebook (see her ad library here).

The ads lead to a quiz which leads to a $29 product offer.

Gael explains…

[The product is] not a money maker, it’s just to pay back for the ads (without waiting for months)

Through her ads, she gains followers to her FB page (and Instagram profile)

Not as many as if she advertised for likes, but because the audience is selected for being “action takers”, they tend to engage highly

So now all she has to do is post organic posts to her “highly engaged followers” and they advertise for her, for free by resharing her content.

Meredith’s example is a good one to follow.

She revealed in a 2019 interview that her business had done $10 million in revenue the year before, more than 10x the previous year …

Turning Weakness Into a Multi-Million Dollar Business

Cliff WeitzmanFounder of Speechify $14.5 Million Speechify estimated annual revenue
Published July 24, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty

Cliff Weitzman is a dyslexic founder who overcame his learning challenges by building Speechify, a text-to-speech app that is now used by millions

I came across his story via this short video: Dyslexic Entrepreneur Creates $1B App

That $1 billion valuation seems high

But Speechify has apparently raised about $70M in funding and its estimated annual revenue is $14.5M… so it’s pretty successful no matter how you slice it.

Anyway, here’s the story…

Growing up in the USA as an Israeli immigrant, Cliff struggled to read and learn English. His parents and teachers thought he was lazy until they found out the cause was dyslexia.

Cliff shared on a podcast what it’s like to have dyslexia…

​​Reading a sentence takes me as much energy and brain power as most people take to do a long division equation in their head. So… it takes me a long time to read a sentence and it’s very energy-fatiguing.

At age 8, Cliff’s love of Harry Potter led his dad to start reading the books aloud and recording them on cassette tapes. Cliff would then listen to the tapes over and over to understand and learn English.

Later, Cliff made it into Brown University, where he again had issues with reading and was falling behind in classes

To keep up, he built a text-to-speech tool that could automatically narrate written content. He soon realized other students were interested in using the tool as well.

That was the start of Speechify, which officially launched in 2016

The app now has over 100 employees, provides text-to-speech in 14 languages, and is #1 in the App Store’s magazine and newspaper category, ahead of even the New York Times.

I love that Cliff was able to take something that’s considered a weakness, and leverage it to build a hugely successful business

Could a “weakness” of your own actually be a strength in disguise?

Another example of Cliff turning a weakness (student loans) to his advantage

He writes on his LinkedIn that he founded a project called FindMeScholarships back in 2016…

I had almost $80K worth of school loans but wanted to work for myself after graduation.

So, I hired a team of 10 virtual assistants in the Philippines and coached them to find and apply to scholarships for me. I made a 3,540% return on my investment in 4 months and paid off most of my loans.

As the final project for my Software Engineering class at Brown I worked with friends to build a suite of tools to automate much of this work for my team in the Philippines. Then, we wrote a system that would automatically hire new virtual assistants and assign them to clients who paid for the service… Sold out capacity in less than a week.

The final project was worth 42% of our grade in the class. We got a 100% score.

This Free Conversion Website Makes $1 Million a Year

It’s a file conversion platform that lets you convert files to different formats.

Basically, a collection of small utility tools – apparently more than 1000 of them – that can help in day-to-day work.

Some of their top-ranking keywords…

The domain has been registered since 2007 and the site has been active since early 2018. So, it’s safe to assume it’s been 5 years since a proper restart (probably by new owners).

According to SimilarWeb, the site gets about 8 million monthly visitors

If we categorize their traffic as “business & industrial” on the official Google Adsense calculator, their earnings from display ads alone could be well over $1 million per year

Their monetization strategy…

This way, they’re catering to a whole range of different customers, and differentiating themselves from other free tools in this space.
