Fake News Websites Earning $10,000’s Per Month

Babylon Bee
  • $1+ Million monthly revenue

πŸ‘€ New video from Spencer Haws…

  • How This β€œFAKE NEWS” Website Makes $1 Million/Month!…

He actually shares 4 “fake news” or satire websites.

The first two are huge and hard to replicate πŸ‘‡

  • Babylon Bee – 20M monthly visitors, $1M+ monthly revenue
  • The Onion – 10M monthly visitors, $400K+ monthly revenue

But Spencer also shares two smaller examples that could be run – or at least started – by one person.

The first πŸ‘‰ Sad and Useless

Mainly curating funny links and memes, big Facebook following, earns an estimated $2100/month from display ads.

Second πŸ‘‰ The Hard Times

Started as a punk rock satire site, later expanded to politics, video games, etc. 2M+ monthly visitors. Spencer estimates $40K+ per month from ads, sponsorships, merch πŸ’°

I’m thinking there could be a profitable site like this for many a niche.

Maybe start with a Facebook page or Instagram account, share funny stories and memes, eventually drive traffic to a site on the same topic πŸ’ͺ
