Want To Build A Successful Business Online? Then This Podcast Is For You
For those interested in learning how to create a successful passive business online, the podcast "Smart Passive Income" by Pat Flynn is definitely worth a listen.
Created by successful online entrepreneur and millionaire Pat Flynn, each episode explains and explores how to build successful online businesses from the ground up—drawing on the expertise of guests who have managed to make a living through "passive" online incomes. The podcast has generated more than 10 million downloads from listeners all over the world.
Flynn is well positioned to give advice: When he was laid off from his architecture firm, he decided to create a website to help himself pass an important architecture exam called the LEEDS—which would hopefully help him land his next gig. Little did he realize that his website would soon be generating more than 1000 hits per day.
As his website generated more and more traffic, he realized it was actually a business opportunity. He began to pivot away from architecture, focusing instead on learning how to turn informational websites into profitable businesses. Drawing on the info from the website he'd created, he wrote an ebook on how to pass the LEEDS exam, which he sold for $19.99. A month after publishing the book online, he received more than $7000 in his PayPal account.
Today, he has an entire website dedicated to helping other people figure out how to generate income online. The podcast is just one feature, but a useful one: Each episodes features a successful entrepreneur who gives tips, shortcuts, and talks about the mistakes they made along the way—so you don't have to.
