$10,000/Month with His Bootstrapped Media Empire
Arvid KahlSerial Entrepreneur $10,000+ monthly revenuePublished October 9, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty
Arvid Kahl is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded, bootstrapped, and sold FeedbackPanda and now runs The Bootstrapped Founder.
FeedbackPanda was a SaaS for teachers that Arvid and his partner grew to $55,000/mo 
Now, Arvid is building a media empire that brings in over $10,000 per month on average.
He recently tweeted…
Want to know how much I make?
Here’s what The Bootstrapped Founder generates in income at this point, late 2023, three years into its existence.
He goes on to break down his monthly earnings from ~ 15 different sources 
including platforms like Amazon, Gumroad and Udemy.
Someone crunched the numbers and responded…
Monthly minimum is: $7,920.50
Monthly maximum is: $16,520.50
So easily $10,000+ on average.
Arvid’s income sources are a great example of diversification and how you can distribute content across platforms if you’re doing it solo or have a small team.
Some of the platforms he uses…
Lists his paperback and ebooks on Amazon KDP.Makes ebook/audiobook available via Gumroad, Draft2Digital.Lists his courses on Gumroad, Udemy, Skillshare.Sells consulting/services via Gumroad.Podcast and newsletter sponsorships.Twitter, YouTube ad revenue.He adds…
My goal is to have at least 20 revenue streams (at this granularity level) at all times.
The main goal of diversifying here is to reduce dependence on any particular channel.
In another tweet Arvid writes…
And still, beyond all this, I still feel the pressure of platform risk.
Seems it’s hard to avoid it completely 
But it might be worth your while looking through Arvid’s income sources and getting some inspiration for ways you could diversify your business.

5000 Monthly Website Visitors = $120,000 Monthly Revenue
Kyle VamvourisFounder of Vouris $1.4 million annual revenuePublished October 9, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty
Kyle Vamvouris is the founder of Vouris, a sales consulting company that helps B2B software and service companies increase sales by building sales processes 
The company apparently generates $1.4 million in annual revenue despite only having “roughly 5,000 monthly website visitors” 
In a recent interview Kyle writes…
I started cold calling as an SDR [sales development representative] at Intuit. 10 months later I was promoted to an account executive.
I decided to write a book in 2017 called Cold to Committed, to teach SDRs how to book meetings through cold outbound prospecting.
Kyle had success growing teams and revenue at several startups, which made it clear he was onto something.
So I started my own sales consulting company. I didn’t take a pay check for 10 months, which was very scary as the sole income earner for my family.
Fortunately, I was able to leverage my sales experience to get initial customers and that helped me develop an offer that my buyers wanted.
In the early days, Kyle leveraged his sales skills to find clients but struggled with his offer. He kept iterating until he figured out what worked 
Vouris now has two flagship programs…
The Nest: Group coaching for founders looking to build a repeatable sales process.Accelerate: Hands-on consulting where Vouris acts as the client’s executive revenue team to build a repeatable sales process.In the first year, Vouris did $600,000 in revenue, blowing past Kyle’s initial goal of $150,000 
Looks like two things helped with growth…
Kyle’s personal brand on LinkedInSEOKyle notes…
SEO has historically been our biggest driver of new business. I didn’t hire an agency or freelancer, I just focused on writing really good content that answered very specific questions that people were searching for.
5000 visitors per month to Kyle’s website doesn’t sound like much, but his offers are high ticket and he’s focused on B2B sales, so plenty of money there 
His site ranks for keywords like…
touch base emailsales development metricshow to motivate sales teamhow to hire sales repGreat keywords to rank for as a sales consultant 
Goes to show that you don’t really need a ton of traffic to earn a big income.
You just need the right people landing on your site and a high-ticket offer that appeals to them.
(It wouldn’t even need to be your own product; you could do something like this with affiliate marketing or lead generation as well.)
Last words from Kyle…
I’ve never worried about giving too much away for free. What I have found is that giving great material away for free, builds a lot of trust with your audience. So I intend to keep doing that.

AI Content Farm: Zero to $16,000 in 2 Months
CoopWBWebsite $18,000 estimated monthly revenuePublished October 5, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty
Fery Kaszoni recently tweeted about a website called CoopWB that is using AI to generate content at scale and dominate Google search results 
According to Fery, the website gets 12M monthly visits and earns over £60,000 ($73K) per month in income from display ads
The timeline, per Fery’s tweet…
They bought an expired domain sometime in 2023Published 1 article in July 2023Published ~5,000 articles in August 2023Published ~15,000 articles by September 2023Getting 12M organic visits per month by September, per SemrushFery calls this..
the largest AI hijacking of the SERPs that the world has ever seen
The site even ranks for competitive keywords like Kanye West net worth.
It seems they were mostly rewriting and paraphrasing content that already exists, since GPT has a knowledge cut off. (Or at least it used to.)
However, Fery’s numbers should be taken with a grain of salt 
I checked the site’s traffic with a bunch of different keyword tools and Semrush is by far the most generous. I’ve seen other traffic estimates range from 240K/month to 4.7M/month.
According to the official Google Adsense Calculator, a site in the entertainment niche – which this site probably falls into – would earn a maximum of $6000/month per 1M visitors from Google display ads.
So $18,000 per month is likely a more realistic estimate for the site’s earnings
Which is still impressive for a young site full of AI-generated content.
Although, as someone replied to Fery…
There’s no way they maintain those ranks once google figures out it’s just basic content.
Fery’s response…
Even if they tolerate it for 5 months, they have already made £200K+ [$243K+] from ads, with this traffic.
Again, the number is probably much smaller than that.
But even if it was $200K+, methinks this is a short-sighted approach to SEO 
Why create a site full of crappy content that is likely to get penalized by Google before long?
When you could instead create a site with quality content that Google will love long time? 
Yeah, I get it: you can probably make money faster with the first approach.
But keep in mind the story of Rick Guerin, who was a business partner of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger – two of the richest people in the world – back in the 1970’s.
You never hear about Guerin anymore, and when Buffett was asked why, he replied…
Charlie and I always knew that we would become incredibly wealthy. But we were not in a hurry to get wealthy; we knew it would happen. Rick was just as smart as us, but he was in a hurry.
And so actually what happened was that in the 1973-74 downturn, Rick was levered with margin loans. And the stock market went down almost 70% in those two years, and so he got margin calls, and he sold his Berkshire stock to me. I bought Rick’s Berkshire stock at under $40 apiece, and so Rick was forced to sell shares at … $40 apiece because he was levered.
By 1990 that same stock was priced at $8000+ a share, a 200x increase 
So yeah, don’t be in too much of a hurry to get wealthy. It’s hard to make wise decisions when you’re desperate to make a buck.

Non Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)
The neurobiologist Andrew Huberman coined the term NSDR and calls it…
such a powerful tool… a zero-cost tool that has enormous effects on not just accessing sleep and calm, but enhancing rates of neuroplasticity.
NSDR is really just a new name for an old concept called yoga nidra, literally “yoga sleep” 
It’s basically a guided meditation that helps improve your energy levels and make up for poor sleep.
Here’s an 11-minute NSDR session from Huberman on YouTube…
Personally though, I prefer this 23-minute version…
Give it a try when you’re feeling sluggish and see if it works for you.
Btw, while researching NSDR I came across this simple website: nsdr.co
The domain was registered 13 months ago (Sep 2022) and it’s getting ~100,000 views per month already (source) 
Looks like there’s no monetization going on, and their YouTube channel is pretty sparse.
I reckon there’s an opportunity there to make a much better resource, steal a lot of that site’s organic traffic, and monetize with display ads 
$1000 in 10 Days From Public Data
Alberto FortinFounder of GumTrends $1000 10 daysPublished October 5, 2023 by Niall DohertyContributor: Fardeen Khan
Alberto Fortin tweets…
I just had my first $1000+ month… I got there by making and launching gumtrends.com. Took a week from idea to launch, and 3 days from launch to $1000
Gumtrends is…
A dataset of 39k+ Gumroad products [that lets you] spot opportunities by finding profitable items with many 3 star reviews.
Alberto sells access to the database for $49 
Most likely, you can find all of the same data via Gumroad Discover, but Alberto has packaged this data into a tidy database that’s easy to filter. He also added estimated revenue and some other bells and whistles.
This got me thinking: what other products could be built around publicly available data? 
A few you could try
ThemeForest is a website templates and theme marketplace that has over 9M visitors/month (source). Every listing (example) shows the price and number of sales, which could be used to estimate revenue.
What if you built something like gumtrends for ThemeForest, then spread the word via seller communities on Facebook?
The parent company of Themeforest, Envato also runs CodeCanyon, VideoHive, AudioJungle and GraphicRiver.
Those are all marketplaces focused on different niches, and all have at least 1 million monthly visitors (according to SimilarWeb) with lots of publicly available data that could be packaged for different types of sellers 
Etsy is another popular marketplace that has ~450 million monthly visitors (source), with tons of physical and digital products for sale in various niches.
You could go niche with an Etsy database, focus on one or two verticals such as…

From Locksmith to $74K/Month SaaS in 4 Years
Tim BennettoFounder of Pallyy $74,000 MRRPublished October 5, 2023 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty
Tim Bennetto tweets….
Was a locksmith, taught myself to code at night, started a SaaS and now have 1k+ paying customers.
Without coding, it would never of been possible.
His SaaS is Pallyy, a “social media management platform” that is now earning $74,000 per month
In another tweet, Tim shares how it all happened….
➜ Learning to code
Spent 6 months or so learning HTML, CSS, JS and Nuxt.
Every evening I would spend a few hrs doing this with CodeCademy (a free learning platform).
➜ Building an MVP
Spent 30 days building an MVP of an Instagram analytics platform.
Point of difference would be that you could “share” your Instagram analytics with others.
It was very very basic.
The initial launch didn’t go well, mainly because Tim had no audience at the time (about 4 years ago)
But the project started gaining traction when…
Friend had a free IG analytics tool, he gave it to me & we redirected it to my platform.
Ended up getting me around 100 customers (at $5/mo).
The sharing feature that was the original focus didn’t interest anyone. So Tim pivoted to focus solely on the analytics dashboard.
But it was still a tough grind to grow the business 
…
Growth completely stalled, in total for almost 2 years.
People wanted scheduling & analytics but at the time Instagram scheduling wasn’t possible due to their API.
When Instagram finally opened up their API, Tim built a scheduling feature and added support for other platforms, and scheduling quickly became the #1 feature 
With scheduling now the core of the product, Tim decided to rebrand from the original name, Sharemyinsights…
“Pallyy” was short, a cheap dot com and fun but also not limiting to a certain feature.
Then it was another 2 years before Tim “started marketing properly.”
He hired a content writer for blogging and social media, optimized for SEO, created alternative pages (example), and launched an affiliate program
The result…
This was the turning point.
The following year had around 10x growth.
Now, after 4 years of running Pallyy solo and hitting $74K in monthly recurring revenue Tim is expanding the team by hiring a developer.
He says…
Anyone can build a SaaS.
The motivation for me was building a better lifestyle. I’ve got no degrees, dropped out of school, had zero coding or marketing knowledge.
Just get started and learn along the way.
His advice for coming up with business ideas
Don’t re-invent the wheel. Don’t try to come up with a unique idea.
Find a validated market, with lots of competitors and build something.
The more competitors, the better.

The focus is on promoting the 7 Figure Acceleration program and earning a commission when people sign up.

How does Newsletter XP help you make money?
Newsletter XP aims to help you make money by building, growing, and monetizing an email marketing list known as a newsletter.
As a founder, the value of a newsletter is that you own a personal, direct, and on-demand asset that reaches a targeted group of high-intent people who consistently want to hear what you have to say.
Let’s break this down a bit…
It’s owned because no entity can take away the list you build. With Facebook ads, for example, you could get shut down at any time. With a newsletter, you can take your list of contacts anywhere.Email is often considered a private and personal space. There are few distractions, so you’re generally not competing for attention.It’s direct because you can reach your audience nearly instantly without having to use advertising or organic channels to do so.It’s on-demand because you can get in front of your audience via email at any time.It’s targeted because the list you build is of people interested in your newsletter’s topic.It’s high-intent because the people on your list chose to opt-in to hear from you.Newsletters are sent regularly, leading to your newsletter often being top of mind and trusted by readers.For all the above reasons, a newsletter is an asset you can sell or increase in value over time.Once you have the attention of your audience, some of the ways you can earn money include the following…
Display adsSubscriptionsAffiliate marketingDigital productsSponsorshipsWith Newsletter XP, you’re not getting theory, hypotheticals, or repackaged information. You’re learning directly from the experience of experts who have built hugely profitable newsletters.
Who is Newsletter XP for?According to the sales page, Newsletter XP is for…
Anyone who is involved with an email list and is interested in ways to either grow or monetize it.
Even those who have a hobby newsletter (with no intention of monetizing) can benefit from the best practices to ensure the end product is quality and hitting your reader’s inboxes.
It goes on to explain who it’s not for…
Anyone looking for a quick scheme to succeed. The strategies and tips provided are proven, methodical, and compounding.
But they are not guaranteed to provide overnight success.
Some things like email aesthetic, monetization strategies, and other acquisition channels can surely be activated and improved overnight however.
In short, it seems Newsletter XP is NOT for newbies seeking step-by-step, tactical instructions to start a newsletter from scratch.
Instead, it’s likely better for people who understand the basics and want to refine and enhance their newsletter with strategic and high-level insight.
70+ ways how to make money online (including easy options)Does Beehiiv have a good reputation?Beehiiv is a newsletter platform founded in 2021.
At the time of writing, the company has raised about $12.5M in funding and is quickly becoming a known name in the newsletter space.
The Beehiiv website gets around 10 million monthly visitors, according to Similar Web…
And, according to co-founder Tyler Denk, it is generating about 5 million dollars in annual recurring revenue (ARR)…
Source: TwitterThat’s why I was a bit surprised to find very few reviews about the platform.
But the ones I saw seemed favorable.
From Product Hunt…
And software review site G2…
In terms of newsletter experience, Beehiiv co-founder and CEO Tyler Denk walks his talk.
Before Beehiiv, Tyler was the second employee at Morning Brew, a newsletter that sold a majority stake to Business Insider in 2020 for a reported $75 million.
Here’s an interview with Tyler so you can get a feel for his style…
In addition to Tyler, Newsletter XP instructors are also prime examples of people who walk their talk.
Here’s a quick background on just a few of them…

Founder of a business newsletter with over 400k subscribers called Contrarian Thinking.Kendall Baker
Author of the daily Axios Sports newsletter. 2Max Tcheyan
Co-founder and CEO of Puck News, a political media website and newsletter reportedly valued at about $70 million. 3Brian Morrissey
Founder of Rebooting, a 15k+ subscriber newsletter.Are Newsletter XP students getting results?
There are plenty of people with positive things to say about newsletter XP…
What I didn’t see was students posting tangible results they’d achieved as a result of going through the Newsletter XP training.
But I somewhat expected this as the focus is on improving newsletters rather than achieving specific monetary goals.
Still, it’d be nice to see some student results proving the course’s effectiveness.
How much does Newsletter XP cost?Newsletter XP costs $999 one-time.
There aren’t additional required costs, assuming you’re already on a newsletter platform.

The official word…
… if you feel like you were unable to extract value from our course material, we have a flexible refund policy and are happy to respect it upon request.
While I believe Beehiiv would honor a refund request, I’d rather see a specific refund policy here.
How is Newsletter XP structured?Here’s what Newsletter XP looks like when you log in…
And here’s a sneak peek inside a lesson…
Newsletter XP is a video and text-based training with about 16 lessons totaling just under 8 hours.
Most lessons are slide-based and conversational.
Keep in mind it’s not a step-by-step style course. It’s more of an overview of various topics with key insights from founders.
There’s also a search feature, making it easy to reference specific material.

If you’re a somewhat experienced newsletter founder who wants an inside look at how multi-million-dollar newsletters are grown, you’ll likely find plenty of value in Newsletter XP.
From what I’ve seen, most people who join the program are happy with their purchase.
Remember, Newsletter XP is not an over-the-shoulder training. The value is in the lessons and golden nuggets from top newsletter founders.
That’s why I’d say it’s best for more established newsletter owners – not for newbies.
If you’re just getting started, I’d suggest Beehiiv’s free YouTube content.
But if your goal is to sharpen your skills, optimize your newsletter’s performance, and learn how to execute from best, I’d say Newsletter XP is a worthwhile investment for you.
