FAQ

  • Aren't directory websites outdated?

    Absolutely NOT! Some of the biggest and most profitable websites are directory websites. Here are just a couple multi-million dollar directory websites: Yelp (www.yelp.com) Angie's List (www.angieslist.com) Glassdoor (www.glassdoor.com) Foursquare (www.foursquare.com) Zocdoc (www.zocdoc.com)

  • What will I learn in this course about building directory websites?

    Take a look at the table of contents to see exactly what you will learn, but in summary my expectation is that you will learn how to combine the most successful elements of building and launching a directory website while learning the monetization and traffic strategies of a niche website.

  • Do I need any prior experience or technical knowledge to take this course?

    Absolutely NOT! In fact, beginning this course as a newcomer might be advantageous for you. Many experienced SEO professionals and developers carry preconceived notions that can hinder their learning. I myself transitioned from a physical therapist to a website owner. With this course, you can successfully venture into building a digital business, even without prior experience in coding or web development.

  • How is this course different from other directory website development courses?

    Most other directory website development courses approach the site solely from the perspective of a directory site. Those courses don't teach you how to build a website using the knowledge and experience of a niche website builder.

  • What kind of support or resources will I receive during and after the course?

    A unique element of this course is the LIVE training events. During the first 8 weeks of launching this course I will be providing weekly Zoom live trainings. This is your chance to interact with me and other students in the course. Ask questions, share ideas, and brainstorm your success. Other support includes lifetime access to the course. PDF and downloadable checklists. Access to a comprehensive list of free and paid tools to help you grow your directory site.

  • Will this course help me create a profitable directory website, and how long will it take to see results?

    YES! This is the most important question of all. This course will help you in all stages of building your directory website and a major tenant of this course is monetize your site before you launch your site. You will start earning money before your first article is written.
