Want to hear about the latest developments in AI and the potential impact on website owners? Don't miss the latest episode of Niche Pursuits News! Once again, Jared and Spencer team up for an engaging and informative discussion that covers a range of exciting topics. They start by talking about how the WordPress Jetpack plugin incorporates an AI assistant directly into the editor. This feature will allow users to generate text directly in WordPress and also correct spelling and grammar, generate titles, and uses several different prompts for tone, all for $10 a month. Then they discuss a report on the Search Generative Experience, the “new featured snippets,” and how quotes may be pulled directly from websites without any attribution or backlinks. This would cause quite a stir among SEOs and publishers, and Jared and Spencer discuss the implications and concerns surrounding this development. On a potentially positive note for some, they share a recent tweet by Cyrus Shepard, who crawled millions of URLs to compile a list of 7 categories of searches that are unlikely to trigger AI results in the SERPs. Google Bard is also a topic of conversation in this episode. Jared and Spencer discuss the new location settings, which have been added to help localize queries, and new developments in exporting tables to Google Sheets, which is now easier than ever. The discussion then shifts to Spencer and Jared's side hustle projects. Spencer talks about his idea for a YouTube series, where he acts as a mentor and host in a competition between two or three people. Their challenge? To start a small online business in just 30 days, with the winner taking home a monetary prize. The journey would be documented in a single, well-edited, and inspirational video. Speaking of inspirational, Jared and Spencer share their experience being part of the Amazon Influencer program. Both believe this is a great program for quick financial wins, and they talk about content ideas as they continue to upload videos to see where this side hustle leads. Jared briefly shares his other side projects, including a YouTube channel he's working on at the moment. In subsequent episodes, he expects to give listeners a better status update. In the final segment of this episode, Jared and Spencer talk about some of the weird niche sites they've discovered. Jared reviews a website called Best Love Text Messages. It was likely originally created as a source of messages for loved ones but eventually expanded into a wider variety of messages, quotes, and captions. The website used to get 300,000 organic page views until a Google update, and although it still boasts a substantial number of keywords and page views and could be easily replicated with AI nowadays, there are also areas for improvement. Spencer shares a website with several web-based games he used around 2010: QWOP. It's a video game that was extremely popular back in the day and still manages to attract almost 50,000 organic visitors per month. With a DR of 64 and a substantial Twitter following, Jared and Spencer discuss the potential of supporting it through a Patreon-like platform. As always, this is another episode filled with thought-provoking discussions, innovative ideas, and actionable tips.

For several years, I've heard about the importance of building an e-mail list. "The money's in the list," I would hear along with examples of how the person implemented it. I started an e-mail list, but I never did a whole lot with it. I rarely promoted it. I didn't provide a reason or benefit for someone to join the list. All I've done is use it to send blog post updates, an occasional special post, and a few promotional e-mails. Well, I plan on changing things! Since I've heard many things about building an e-mail list, I've tried to compile several of the important elements from different sources. We'll look at: How to collect the e-mail addresses What to offer someone to join the list How to promote the list Options for ways to use the list I know that I'm not prime example of how to do all of this, but I'm trying to bring all of this together to help all of us though this process. I'll come back later to report on how things went and how I may change things up. I also welcome you to join me in building your e-mail list. If you have already started and have some tips to add to this, please add to the conversation in the comment section. How to collect the e-mail addresses There are several ways you can start an e-mail list. This list isn't comprehensive, but covers the most popular methods: WordPress / Jetpack subscribe by e-mail Feedburner Mail Poet MailChimp Aweber Infusionsoft Benchmark I would highly recommend not to use WordPress or Feedburner for collecting e-mail addresses. They are basically just ways for people to be notified of new posts. As far as I know, there's no way to send other e-mails to the list. Mail Poet is a WordPress plugin that allows you to manage the e-mail list from the WordPress dashboard. I have it installed, but I haven't used it. There is a free and a paid version. Dustin Hartzler of Your Website Engineer has spoken about using it on his podcast. MailChimp, Aweber, and Benchmark are basically similar services. MailChimp, however, has a free option if you have less than 2,000 subscribers and send less than 12,000 e-mails a month. Infusionsoft, from what I understand, does more than manage your e-mail list and various campaigns. It can also help with sales and customer management. This is definitely a higher end service (not for the average blogger). MailChimp is the service I currently use, and I plan to continue with them for the foreseeable future. I have is setup to send the people on my lists blog updates, plus I can send additional e-mails. I plan to start using an auto-responder series soon, which is a premium service for them. I'll talk about this later. What to offer someone to join the e-mail list Even with as great of content that you and I create, most visitors are not going to sign up just for blog updates. They would like a bigger incentive. One great thing to offer is something special that they can download or view right when they sign up. This can be a PDF (e-book, report, worksheets, etc.), audio file, graphic, video, and more. There was a few months that I offered a PDF ebook to those that signed up for my list. I since removed it. I can't even remember why I removed it! I plan on implementing this on my list for this site. I have a short ebook written to help people get started with their websites. I've sent an early copy to those already on the list. It's being editing and formatted now, and it will be available for official use in a week or two. How to promote the e-mail list There are several places that you can promote your e-mail list. Each one has it's benefits and drawbacks. Here's a quick list: The Feature Box Top of Sidebar After Single Post The Footer The About Page
