26-Year-Old Earning $40,000/Month From Niche Sites

Jamie I.F. runs Increasing.com and related niche sites that collectively earn $40,000 per month 🤑

Jamie doesn’t reveal his exact sites, but he did share in a recent interview that he monetizes via…

• Affiliate commissions
• Display ads
• Digital product sales
• Sponsorships

Jamie started his first niche site in mid-2019 after graduating from university, having discovered SEO’s potential for free traffic during an internship in Paris 🇫🇷

He wanted to start a social project helping feed the homeless in London but he couldn’t support it financially.

Then…

I turned to SEO and started niche sites as a last (and only) resort.

So, I just wrote and wrote and wrote, not knowing what affiliate marketing was: I just hoped I could make money from the ads.

Then, in late 2019, I discovered you could add Amazon affiliate links. The next day I made £15 from a sale! 🤯 From then I KNEW this was how I was going to get the £2M.

At only 26 years of age, you might think Jamie has achieved a high level of entrepreneurial success at a young age.

And he has, but not without paying his dues…

I tried and failed with my first business launch when I was 17, a streetwear line. We had 16K followers on Instagram back in 2014 but just couldn’t shift any merch – and I’d invested everything I had in it! And so I was NOT going to have the win stolen from me a second time around.

Jamie’s success with niche sites didn’t happen overnight either.

He tweets…

My niche site earnings:

Nov 2018 (age 21): $0
Nov 2019 (age 22): $150.95
Nov 2020 (age 23): $7,895.00
Nov 2021 (age 24): $36,547.00
Nov 2022 (age 25): $79,000.00

Do anything for long enough to learn the ropes and be rewarded for perseverance, and crazy things can happen 🤘

Jamie now operates his sites with a small team of freelancers while acting as the lead editor.

His advice for anyone starting out….

Just get started, and ignore the results for at least the short-to-medium term. If your process and product are excellent, the world will catch up.

It will take you at least 3,000 hours of repeated technician work to become excellent at almost anything, so be dogged, determined, and also curious: you can skip levels and ascend the learning curve faster by discovering new knowledge via experimentation.
