Getting paid to rent out websites. You know I love a good rental side hustle, recurring revenue, strong

ROI. But in this example, there's no equipment to buy. There's no delivery logistics to deal with.

There's no tenants trash in your place, which leads to some really strong margins. My guest is a

longtime side hustle show, a listener who recently started building and

renting out simple local websites. Now it makes sense, right? Websites are digital real estate. And if

Hustle Show. Thanks for having me, Nick. I absolutely love your show. I think it's fantastic.

Yeah, I'm always excited to see your name pop across the inbox. And you've been in the game

for quite a while. But stick around in this one. We're going soup to nuts on how to come up

with profitable niches here,

how to build and rank those sites, and how to find those well-qualified tenants, along with the

surprising new side hustle that this project has unlocked. But John, my understanding is this

started relatively recently, just this year in February, and I'm curious, well, how long does it take to start

seeing your first revenue here? It took me about two and a half months before I saw anything

coming in. And, you know, that was a real exciting. You know, we got a lead and we got paid on it.

Somebody actually, you know, writing a check. What was the lead for if you're comfortable sharing?

Yeah, no, it was for

gravel driveways in a city in California. We did a lot of research on it, came up with a plan,

created a website, and we were able to get some money coming in. How fascinating. So you build up

this website in the gravel and driveway niche for, I'm assuming a local city of California,

and then customers or potential customers start coming to the website and say, I need this job done.
