Jeff says:
This is awesome guys – i’m really looking forward to seeing what is going to happen here. I’ve got an OK performing niche site (600/mo) that I’m looking to expand, but would love to turn it into a real business.
Don Modekali says:
This is definitely one of the case studies to follow. Will be keeping up with your updates.
Chris Silvestri says:
You guys are growing faster. I loved the way you work as soon as I found out about this website. Definitely a fresh approach to online marketing and SEO, no wonder why Pat saw an opportunity here ;) good luck, I will follow closely!
Theron says:
Wow – been following Pat for a long time; as we all the Securityguardhq.com site – will be very interested to see what happens – also in the same boat as Jeff have a niche site that is earning but would love to take to the next couple levels!
Dan says:
Amazing project! I can’t wait to read you guys. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
KimP says:
I’m excited about this! Definitely signing up for updates!
Raweewan says:
This is one of the case studies that I’ll follow along. Since I do have plans for an authority website in specific niches. Thanks for your contribution. :)
Alistair Cochrane says:
wow this surprised me!
Charlie Stevens says:
THIS IS SO COOL! I’ll be following your every move. “World donination with Pat Flynn”. LETS DO THIS!
Gabe says:
Good luck, this seems impossible to do.
Nichegirl says:
Waaaah that is freakin’ awesome! A match made in heaven….I have been following Pat for ages and just enrolled in NoHat’s internship. And now you guys collaborate. What timing!!
Tobias says:
Thats a crazy experiment! i love it already! you definitely need to standadize the process and sell it as a service!
Josh says:
Going to be another great case study! Amazing everything y’all are putting out here on the blog and how you have been “everywhere” the last week or so. Enjoying all the content!
Scott says:
Is this “real business” going to remain as a passive online income stream for Pat?
Hayden says:
Yes, we aren’t taking any percentage.
Matt says:
whats the point then, if your not taking a percentage why not just help out a regular joe. Why does it have to be Pat Flynn, a guy already at the top of the IM game who doesn’t need any help.
I know you do alot for the community with the internships so I’m not bashing here, just a legit question. Pat doesn’t need the help, the guy makes 80K+ every month
GregNunan says:
Hey Matt, the goal is to case study the site’s progress as a way to educate thousands of people about how to boost revenue and turn niche sites into businesses. Our goal of tripling income in 6 months is just to give us a target to shoot for and to show that it can be done. Pat making an extra $5k per month isn’t even on the radar as a motivator to run this case study. Pat and us share a mutual goal to educate people and help them succeed online, so this experiment aligns perfectly with that.
TJ says:
This has the potential to be the single best case study I have ever seen, and I’m ecstatic it’s the No Hat Digital team behind it!
I started a niche site about 10 months ago that has exceeded all expectations by making 5k/month. The way you’ve outlined this case study is awesome, and I feel there will be a lot I can take away from it and apply to my own site. I can’t wait to see the knowledge bombs dropped!
GregNunan says:
Nice work TJ, $5k is NICE!
TJ says:
Thanks Greg. It was the first niche site I’ve built, and I feel very fortunate it has done so well. I owe a lot to both NHD and Pat for all the awesome info that’s pumped out, couldn’t have done it without you guys!
