The Most Passive $104K/M Online Business You've Never Heard Of
Chris Koerner talks with Kyle, who runs a "website landlord" business making about $104,000 a month. He ranks local service websites on Google and rents the incoming calls to local businesses.
The gist
-
Kyle builds unbranded niche-and-city sites, ranks them, then gives a local business a free week of calls before charging a flat monthly fee.
-
Kyle says each site costs about $25 a month to run, and his company does about $100,000 monthly with under $5,000 in overhead.
-
Kyle got his first client, an attorney friend, via a screen recording and $6,000 within 20 minutes; Chris urges starting with your network.
-
Kyle dropped tiered pricing for flat fees and undercharges on purpose so clients stay quiet; those lasting past six months often stay five-plus years.
-
His stack is Weebly or WordPress, CallRail, and Ahrefs or Mangools, and he says ranking is 80% content and backlinks in low-competition local searches.
