If you're just getting started online, it's easy to feel tiny, insignificant. It's easy to feel lost in this vast maze of different business models like freelancing and online courses and e-commerce. On the darker days, it's easy to feel like you don't have what it takes, that you might as well give up. And that's why you need this interview with Tim Stoddart.

He leans toward the idea of buying assets, whether they are businesses or online companies, and aims to remove himself from the operational aspects.

Earlier this year, I had 2 conversations that really shaped how I view making content moving forwardThe first was Tim Stoddart of Copyblogger. He's a prolific writer, a fantastic business owner, and super down-to-earth.He told me he doesn't like the term “build in public.” He prefers to say, “Share your journey.”I love this because you're not giving people a blueprint to follow (despite what the Thread Bois says).You're telling people what you're doing, and what's working for YOU.Then I did a deep dive on Justin Jackson and John Buda's Build in Public podcast.They shared their own journey of building a SaaS in a crowded market in 2018. And the podcast took off.I'm definitely focusing on long-form content more. But when I'm stuck, especially when I want to deliver for my members, I'm going to share my journey.Do something. Tell people you did it. Tell people how you did it.Rinse.Repeat.Unless you're literally doing nothing, you'll always have something to share.

This week my guest is Tim Stoddart, a dynamic entrepreneur, blogger, podcaster, CEO of Copyblogger, and the visionary Founder of Sobernation. Ever wondered what lies beyond the allure of weekend alcohol consumption? Are you curious if life can be just as vibrant without the rollercoaster of highs and lows brought by alcohol? This episode might hold the answers you seek. From the early stages of his teens, Tim grappled with his addictive personality. He turned to alcohol and, later, heroin as a way to numb the discomfort that plagued him. However, a tragic family emergency forced a transformative shift in his relationship with substances. Tim's journey led him to create Sobernation, a groundbreaking blog that became the largest resource for the sober community. He didn't stop there; Tim founded a marketing agency focused on substance treatment centers, generating millions of dollars in revenue. In this episode, Tim opens up about what lies on the other side of that bottle and shares the path he took to get there. Tim's personal story serves as a roadmap, guiding us toward understanding addiction and the power of embracing "shared suffering" for a more fulfilling life. We conclude our conversation with Tim by delving into the art of creating a cash-rich business that not only aligns with your values but also makes a substantial impact on society. In Tim's case, this has resulted in seven-figure success stories. We extend our gratitude to Tim for joining us on this remarkable journey.

We have a special treat today on the Niche Pursuits podcast. CopyBlogger owner and Sober Nation founder, Tim Stoddart joins us to share some awesome tips and insights from his success in building multiple income streams online. You do not want to miss this one as Tim's story is sure to inspire. He learned about content marketing and SEO by reading the site Copyblogger. He then applied these strategies to his own site, Sober Nation. He initially used these strategies to gain traction through Facebook by sharing user stories. But, he soon realized that traffic doesn't always translate to revenue. So, Tim decided to transition Sober Nation to a directory model to generate revenue, listing treatment facilities and generating revenue through exposure. This allowed him to monetize the website in a creative and effective way. And also sparked the idea to start an agency to help related facilities with their marketing needs. Tim explains how he used Sober Nation as a branding tool to build his agency, Stodzy. And by leveraging the success of Sober Nation, Tim was able to establish his agency and attract clients. He did a similar thing after acquiring CopyBlogger. Again, instead of taking the traditional ad and affiliate route, Tim takes a different approach. He uses Copyblogger as a lead generation site for his agency, Digital Commerce. Tim also highlights the importance of having a core group of trusted employees and a systematic workflow. This ensures that the business runs smoothly and efficiently. He discusses the different revenue models he uses, including free media, front-end products, and high-end services. By diversifying his income streams, Tim has created a stable and sustainable business model. In conclusion, Tim Stoddart's journey and projects demonstrate the significance of building a business with multiple income streams. By leveraging the success of Sober Nation, Tim was able to establish his agency and attract clients. He emphasizes the importance of measuring success based on client goals and delivering results. Tim's specialization and finding unique angles in the marketplace have been key to his success.
