Hi Everyone,
This is Nayem. Every week, I write a blog post about things that I found interesting. Welcome to today’s post.
Today’s story is about Zach Zorn, who made $39k in profit in just five months from his first website flip.
Yes, you read that right. He bought a site, improved it, and sold it for a tidy profit—all in under half a year. Let’s see how he pulled it off.
Quick Summary if you don’t want to read the full post:
- Zach purchased a niche (another word for small and specific) website for around $17k (through a marketplace like Empire Flippers or Flippa).
- The site centered on a specific hobby niche (think marine life, aquariums, or a small passionate community).
- Over 5 months, he boosted the content, tweaked the design, and grew its revenue.
- Finally, he flipped it—for $39k.
I know what you’re thinking – Yeah Nayem, right – if I had $17k to invest in a site, would I be here reading this?
Hold on!
You don’t need to have $17k to do this. You can start with $1k if you know what to do.
Why Niche Sites Still Work:
✔️ They focus on one specific topic, which builds better Google authority.
✔️ AI is here, but niche sites still get a lot of traffic—they’re not dead yet.
✔️ Niche sites don’t need Google traffic if they build a loyal audience (via email, social media, etc.).
Check out Zach’s website: MoneyNomad.com
Nothing fancy. Pretty basic. Some might even say terrible.
But that website was good enough to make him a $39k exit in just 5 months.
Step-by-Step Playbook to Start a Niche Website:
1️⃣ Be super specific in your topic selection. Pick one small topic for one small group of people. Example: Shoe pain for hikers, restaurant options for Keto diet followers, etc.
2️⃣ Build a great-looking website. This is your shop—make it look professional and trustworthy.
3️⃣ Use opt-ins and build loyalty. Start YouTube, Instagram, or an email list—don’t rely 100% on SEO traffic.
4️⃣ Write 100 articles based on your research and interest. Ignore keyword volume or data—focus on providing value.
If you do this right, you will have a money-making business in 24 months. I can almost guarantee that. I’ve proven it many times—publicly and privately in our course—and I can do it again in 2025.
Why More People Aren’t Doing This?
I hear success stories like this every day and wonder: Why aren’t more people trying this?
Here’s why:
❌ Reason 1: It takes time to see results, and most people are not patient enough to put in the work every week.
❌ Reason 2: Not enough research on the niche, leading to poor execution.
If you can solve these two problems, you will have a winner.
All the best
See You in Next One
