1. Business idea of the Week: Build an SEO Link Farm
As you probably know, there’s big money in SEO.
With over 8.5 billion searches on Google every single day, showing up at the top of the search results is incredibly valuable.
But there’s a lot of different factors that go into convincing Google to put you at the top of the search results.
And one of the biggest factors is backlinks.
In basic terms, a backlink is just a link on a website that links to another website.
For example, if you wrote a blog post on your website and included a link to this post, that would count as a backlink for my website.
And when a website gets a backlink, it tells Google that the website is good, and therefore they should prioritize it in search results.
The more backlinks = the better. (as long as they’re not from spam websites)
The idea: Build a link farm and sell backlinks.
This involves building up multiple “trusted” websites, with the sole purpose of selling backlinks to other websites.
Since backlinks are so important in the game of SEO, website owners will pay lots of money to get backlinks on other websites in their niche.
How to get started: Ideally, you’ll pick a high value niche that doesn’t have too much competition.
For the most part, every valuable niche these days has competition, so try to choose one that’s 1) not too saturated 2) valuable 3) and somewhat interesting to you.
For example: Tech, virtual reality, natural sleep enhancement, etc.
Once you’ve chosen a niche, here’s your next steps:
Buy domains.
Build website with Wordpress.
Start creating content using AI.
Start finding backlinks from other websites.
The goal is to get a high Domain Authority (DA) for these websites, which will increase your search rankings, and make you backlinks more valuable to other websites.
This is a side hustle that will take a lot of upfront work in return for a big potential payout. Be patient.
Once your websites starts gaining traffic, you can start selling backlinks in your posts for hundreds of dollars.
Here’s an awesome video breakdown on how to get started, from Jacky Chou. 👇

3. Twitter Business Ideas
I spent an hour scrolling Twitter trying to find business ideas.
Here’s a few I found. 👇
That massive pop up that says “do you accept our cookies” at the bottom. It’s super annoying.
A tool like this seems easy to get users for.
Not sure I would pay for it though.
There’s so many AI newsletters, but I don’t know of a website that does this yet.
Maybe it exists. If not, this could be a fun project.
Now this is a startup I’d invest in… lol.
