I found this channel randomly; glad I stopped by! Great content!

Love the Authenticity of this ... Thanks for opening up about your journey

[willtribe]

Brilliant video, appreciate the openness 👍

[comeacross]

great video as always. alot to learn from

[sitesuite]

Fantastic video, your videos have triggered so much motivation and thirst for being an affiliate marketer. I hope we can cross paths one time in Chiang Mai. I’m somewhat of a digital nomad spending much of my time in Thailand, well pre Covid. Love your content.

[DerekCladek]

Love this! Very real and authentic which is why people are drawn to you.

[AlfredodelArenal]

Awesome video! Just found your channel and I’m pretty much brand new to the world of SEO, at least in practical terms. I can relate a bit to your beginnings as I’m also an Electrical Engineer, who spent long long hours working with on-their-premises clients’ as a consultant, however that was way back in the 90s.
Very looking forward to know more about your business and congrats on your achievements so far!

[CoffeeGeekTV]

Great video mate. Thanks for sharing your 'early days' story.

Damn! :-(
Market Samurai is $119.95/mo!

Loved this! Fellow former electrical engineer here (IBM). Also saw how unhappy my peers and upper management seemed, so I quit and grabbed a one-way ticket to Thailand. :) I did it in 2006, one year before The 4-Hour Workweek went big. It was Tim's buddy Rolf Potts (Vagabonding book) that pushed me over the edge. Also had my early sites demolished unexpectedly by a Google update. Chok dee, krap!

[adrianmobley]

Great content! I just discovered this channel, btw and I'm hooked! Are you allowed to talk more about the garcinia cambogia website? That story sounds amazing!

[chrisbenn]

It dose not sound like this is "Selling a website" but "selling an online business" that happens to take place on a website? or "Selling a web business." :-)

[umairsajjad]

I am in a situation whhere my most of the content is not indexing. It goes into Discoverd but not indexed or Crawled but not indexed section. If I post 5 articles, only 1 will get indedxed sometime. PLEASE help! And this issues is happening on my all sites hosting on same server.

[tungao]

Thanks for sharing Matt. One question though, how did you find the time to work on your websites while working 12hrs job and party on the weekend?

[earnningonline]

In Chiangmai right now. It s a great place for work =)

[damianzielinski]

I would love to join the affiliate lab but I cannot afford it. Maybe I can do something instead? Web development, graphic design or content creation? I would love to hear back from you Matt.

[truthhurts]

With the yoga items you were selling, did you have inventory? Or was it items sold through affiliates or drop shipping?

[INFPinSA]

Yo Matt, you got a permit to carry those guns? You always been fit, but the bicep definition there is getting a little dangerous! Cue Right Said Fred....
