09/01/23 • 57 min
Get ready for another great episode of This Week in Niche Pursuits News to help start your weekend.
Spencer and co-host Jared kick things off by discussing Google's August Core Update. They share whether it has affected their sites and discuss some of the devastating screenshots they've seen from other site owners.
They also discuss a study highlighted in the Search Engine Journal regarding ChatGPT and its reach among USA adults. A shockingly low number of Americans have actually used the tool or feel that it will affect their jobs. So, the guys spend some time weighing in on this interesting topic.
The conversation then gets into the ongoing adoption of AI-powered features in search engine results and the inclusion of links within results.
Plus, Reddit just launched an AI-powered keyword research tool. A development, they discuss, could be very useful for content creators and advertisers looking to optimize their strategies.
After a nice catch-up on the latest news, it's time for their shiny object shenanigans.
Spencer starts by sharing how he's hiring local individuals to assist him in recording product review videos for the Amazon Influencer program. And discusses how this will not only help to create engaging content but also support the local community.
Jared then chimes in with his own Amazon Influencer program update and how he's ramping up video production.
In fact, he just set a personal record by recording a staggering 122 videos in just one week!
As usual, the conversation then goes into awesome and weird niche site discoveries.
First up is a website called Language Guesser. It's a creative and simple game for language enthusiasts to guess the language being spoken in videos.
After that, they discuss another fun little site called Word Unscrambler. This site offers visitors a handy tool for unscrambling letters and finding words, particularly useful for Scrabble players!
As always, they discuss the traffic and potential revenue of these niche sites and give some valuable insights into their profitability.
They also offer suggestions for improvement, such as design tweaks and creating mobile apps.
To wrap things up, they highlight subscribing to the newsletter to get regular updates and stay in the loop on the latest online business news and success stories!
