Brock McGoff joins us today on the Niche Pursuits to share his experience selling his menswear websites, The Modest Man and The Slender Wrist. Throughout the talk, he highlights key points that helped him grow to an average of $30k per month and offers valuable pointers for others looking to sell their sites such as: Frequently asked buyer questions Keys to his site's growth Branding tips And more... Plus Brock's story includes growing a site he started and one he bought. The Modest Man was a menswear site Brock started around 10 years ago, while The Slender Wrist is one he bought in a private sale a couple of years back. And to ensure the success of his websites, Brock focused on hands-on reviews and buying guides. He emphasizes the importance of quality content and building genuine relationships in the industry for backlinks. It's these factors that he believes played a significant role in attracting advertisers and generating revenue. Speaking of revenue, he found that individual product affiliate networks often converted well and offered higher commission rates. He also actively negotiated with brands for better rates and terms by forming strong relationships with them. But in the end, he decided to sell the sites because he no longer enjoyed the day-to-day operations and wanted to pursue other opportunities. So, in preparation for selling his sites, Brock took steps to remove himself from the business and diversify revenue streams. Again, he recommends the importance of reaching out to brands and forming relationships instead of relying solely on Amazon or other standard affiliate platforms. As this approach helped him create a more sustainable and attractive business for potential buyers. He initially tried to sell it privately, jumping on loads of sales calls which led to great insights: Buyers were particularly interested in the content's quality, the business's stability, the presence of a team, and standard operating procedures. And Brock shares many of these frequently asked questions. But he ended up using a broker to facilitate the sale process and found their guidance and support to be worth the fee. The listing process was relatively quick, and he immediately received multiple offers. He also decided to keep his YouTube channel separate from the sale and managed to facilitate a true win-win site exit. Overall, it's another great, insightful interview you don't want to miss!

Since then, Brock has turned TheModestMan.com into his full-time focus, into a 6-figure income, and into a media empire that expands well beyond the blog itself.

This week on the Extra Paycheck Podcast I am joined by Brock McGoff. Brock started a fashion advice blog for men and eventually he decided to turn that blog into his full time gig (while leaving his 9 to 5 job). Listen to this episode to learn how Brock did it and how you can start your own online business as well!
This episode was based on a revisitation of my September 2012 post Dressing the (Smaller)Man. Being as I'm six feet tall, I can only approach this topic from a hypothetical perspective. So I decided to bring on two of my good friends who are both style experts and on the shorter end of the spectrum. Aaron Marino runs I Am Alpha M (http://iamalpham.com/), a hugely popular men's style site and YouTube channel. Aaron puts out daily videos that cover topics like dress, grooming, and fitness and has one of the largest, most abundant personalities of anyone I've ever met. Brock McGoff runs The Modest Man (http://themodestman.com/), a menswear site dedicated entirely to helping men of shorter stature learn how to dress to their proportions and ensure that their style game is always on point. Brock puts his money where his mouth is and is one of the best dressed, most confident men I know. In the episode we cover topics like: Aaron and Brock's Archetypes How and why they both started caring about men's style The biggest challenges short guys face when trying to dress better How to have the right attitude when it comes to custom clothing Why being short is only one aspect of a man's physical presentation to the rest of the world Should short guys wear elevator shoes and other height-enhancing articles of clothing. Show notes can be found at: http://wp.me/p2nB1Z-2eX If you're sick of feeling like your clothes don't adequately express who you are, pick up my new course called Style as Storytelling.
