lol, thats how I am about mean comments, I call them Team Abby
I used to ask what PickleBall was, had a client needing insurance quote for a pickle ball gym
Not that odd of a niche
PLEASE answer my question: how do you do this when you have radio-face?
This is inspiring! 😍 Thank you guys.
What kind of income at 85k views? $?
How can I make money with a niche that I'm not very knowledgeable of?
This story is so aspiring! And I love the fact that your guest said you have to fail first to get good at it something. I truly believe this is so true more ways than anyone can imagine.
You learn something new every day 😂😂😂 Pickeball.
85K pvs per month is nothing! I have 5M+ on Trendland.com, but maybe it's a lot for him after 3 years of being online…
The intent of the user is so important I totally agree.-Best of luck to you Pickleball guy!!
Great interview thanks. very inspiring and congrats on your success Barrett
Hey income school your content is great and and I am following it past from many months and in coming days I am starting a keto diet blog, as a studies I cannot afford the premium themes so could you please suggest top free themes for my blog which is customizable with elementor looking forward to your reply
Yes! I learned in my industry, even by looking at the giant competitors who are worth 500 million dollars, that social media is worthless. These companies get millions of views on their website. They have millions following their Facdbook & 300k on Instagram but get only 10-12 comments per post and they are well known brands. Even their YouTube is slacking. So I just focus on the website.
So sad I tried to buy Project 24 via Stripe but my card got denied (card error)……..
Hi – Barrett says that YT is the best thing to do, and yet he says that he makes his income from mediavine (which must be on his website). So what is the value he gets out of YT? I don't get it?
Hey you guys! Your videos are just too cool! I have just started a graphic design channel and have uploaded 2 videos, before I make a mistake I just wanted to ask if the niche I'm into is good ? I hope you get back to this
I love Jim's new hat.
Loving this! +Pickleball Kitchen is an awesome niche. Great job Barrett.
I love the success story videos! It's great to hear about other people's success stories 🙂 I haven't heard of pickleball before… thought it might be some kind of food!
I've got a few sites all doing pretty well but I'm still yet to properly dabble in YouTube, I made one vid recently for one of my sites but struggled with getting decent footage and writing a decent script, I definitely need to work out how to do it properly.
"The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same."
— Colin R. Davis. "Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."
— Henry David Thoreau. "Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better."
— Jim Rohn. Hi guys! Let me just share to you a short story. We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we just graduated college and were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. I started it out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second one currently under construction but launching soon!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.
have u tried affiliate marketing on education-related niche? Is it effective?
I think who dislikes this video is from people who don't think they can be changed by this videos
Thanks for the inspiration guys!
Peak of summer….you guys are so tanned! 😅
I can remember playing with those types of balls as a kid, but never realised it was an actual sport. Well done Barrett, very inspirational words.
What an amazing guy.
Where Is Freddy? Haven't seen him for a while on the channel.
Congrats 👏🏻 on Success
Great interview 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey guys, awesome video!
Not sure if anyone has any experience with redesigns, but is a slight dip in traffic normal when changing themes? I've changed from a rather basic theme to the Pixwell theme — but since I use a third party plugin (Yoast), and since the content didn't suffer any changes (and neither did any of the hyperlinks) after arranging everything in a staging environment, I was wondering whether or not suffering a slight dip in traffic is a normal thing? Thanks!
Biggest takeaways:
1) The most important part of a video is the audio
2) Don't keep chasing the next shiny object. Persistance = Profits.
Great interview, very helpful, thanks! Barrett is also a very good teacher and explains things well. He really boils things down to their essence, so I got a lot out of it.
Nothing like pickled balls !
Very interesting data from this interview. You guys seem to be gradually gravitating more towards YouTube than blogging overall. Which is understandable, since the traffic potential of YouTube is staggering. Not to mention the "face to face" connection you get with your audience via video. Having said that, I struggle to see how to monetize a YouTube channel. Sure, if you have a mega-huge audience, basic YouTube ads can add-up to a very decent income. But for small to medium channels, it seems like it would be very hard to get people to click on any affiliate or info-product links in the video's description? I wonder how many viewers actually scroll-down the video description enough to even see any product links?
Very good info – thanks!
Wow and I thought homemade organic baby food was an odd niche lol
It's a very hot niche. How about some links to his channel and website guys?
Well done to him but 80k pageviews a month on a blog with an Alexa of 1,778,749? Alexa aint perfect but that's a huge disconnect
