¡Hola!
Today I would love to talk about something that has opened my eyes quite a bit. I knew people where cheaters and people fuck around all the time, but I wasn't expecting such dramatic results.
How it all started
I owned a marketing company that primarily focused on startups. We did everything from raising capital to working "in house" with the employer's team to make their baby a success. This company got acquired by thehumannetwork in the beginning of February this year.
As a hobby, I buy small, young websites with potential and let them mature for a couple of months, sometimes even years before I put them back on the market. Because we know some things about branding and marketing, this hobby is now actually a decent income, and at this point I don't even do anything myself.
Outsourcing is the key to financial freedom
Most of the labour intensive work, like writing blogs, guest posts, visual advertisement campaigns and SEO, gets outsourced to skilled people for a fraction of the costs. I even hired an assistant who works in Bangkok who delegates the work to the "workers".
You can judge me, please do, but I really like to buy dating sites and sites that are very niche to a specific topic. I found out that this market is not that saturated as thought and you never expect what some people pay to "meet" the person who have the same sexual interest.
Fuck me, but dont
1 Of my websites is a dating site for cheaters. I know, not the most ethical thing, but I don't care. I like money. I bought it in October last year with nearly no visitors or traffic. The owner put so much time in the layout and the fake accounts, that he was burned out and didn't knew how to scale or market this business.
Because the website was ready to go and only needed TLC and a marketing campaign, we could launch in just a few days. Keyword research is done, we could now start paying for traffic. Everything runs smoothly, a lot of people were paying to cheat their spouse and money was rolling in.
But then Covid came
We had about 1200 unique visitors a day, with a conversion to paid member of 4.6%. This was all before corona. In December we turned of the paid ads and now the website gets traffic from organic searches and the only overhead is hosting and the virtual assistant who answers questions of customers.
Corona is in the house. Sinds the beginning of March, tons of people start to work from home again. Our daily visitors dropped from 1550 a day to 320 a day. Nobody is Googling, 'websites to cheat my wife´´ or how to find someone to cheat with´ My income of this website dropped even lower. This month the conversion rate is 0.8%. I am flabbergasted.
To me, this proofs people are fucking cheaters, have 2 faces and fuck them. But I love their money, so let them be, please!
CORONA SHALL GO
