AI Marketing70%
Tejas, a builder, has started, grown, and sold two directories for four and five figures each.
Across both projects, he brought in around 75K and learned a ton along the way and sold for a 5-figure exit.
We talk about:
- How I found my directory niche
- Why I chose them
- What helped me grow traffic and revenue? (Was it SEO, social media, or something else?)
- How I got acquired
You’ll hear exactly what worked and what didn’t.
You'll also get into the story behind my newest project, Directoryideas.ai, a tool designed to help you brainstorm and validate your own directory niche ideas.
I have a strong belief that directories are one of the most approachable business models online, and I am excited to dig into the mindset, tactics, and next steps.
