Before we start this challenge, I'd like to introduce myself first.

My name is Ryan Cruz and I've built several niche sites that succeeded while many more have failed. And those that succeeded, I could attribute them to several strategies that sharing with you in the next 7 days.

In the next slide, I'll share with you my case studies and proof in this journey. Ever since I was fired from my job in 2013, I vowed to myself that I'll NEVER rely on one income stream to feed my family.

And that's when I've finally become serious about building a "niche website". There are many types of online businesses that I can build like ecommerce, dropshipping, etc. But here are the main reasons I've decided to build a niche site...

1. It doesn't require a lot of investment. - I just bought a domain and hosting which is less than $100/year. If you can't invest $100/year then

2. I'll learn a lot of the foundational internet marketing skills like blogging, search engine optimization, and content marketing when building a niche site.

3. It has a lot of money-making potential - I can earn through advertising, I can earn through promoting other people's products (affiliate marketing), I can promote my own products, I can build my email list.

4. It is something that takes a lot of work initially but can become a semi-passive income stream. My niche sites that i've built are still earning for me until this day and some of them i've barely touched.

5. It's fairly easy to get started. If there are technical challenges along the way, I'm here to help. But regardless, most of the technical help is available on Youtube.

I highly recommend that if you've never created an online business before, start with a niche site. And this 7-day challenge is going to help you speed that process of creating your very first profitable niche website.
