Rank and rent update #3
319 segments
all right boys it's been a while since I
did my last update on my rank and rent
so finally here it is so I did a just a
recap I did a rank and rent project I
actually did two different uh Rank and
rent websites and this is about four
months ago you can go check out my uh
YouTube channel uh let me just show you
so uh let me put myself down here so you
can see uh I think yeah 4 months ago go
about yeah this one here is uh 4 months
ago and then I did
a uh I did an update after that uh let
me see so first update was 3 months ago
and then I did another
update uh I think the following couple
of weeks so been 3 months since my last
update so I thought it would be good
just updating you uh how it's going with
the rang wi rinse to be completely Fair
I've been working on other stuff so I
actually haven't uh worked on the sites
for the past last three months but
things are still happening so I'll just
show you uh actually the traffic that I
get on the websit so this is the the
first one and this is the one that
actually receives the most amount of
traffic and after I'll show you how many
leads I actually get in so you can see
it does get some traffic however it's
it's not really um a lot and I don't
really see any Trend in terms of the uh
the amount of traffic I received so if
just go back past last 12 months uh the
data here we go and this attracts uh
since let's see in May when I launched
it and you can see that very quickly re
we started to receive
traffic um you can but you can see here
it sort of stagnates on this side here
and I get like since then I got like
153 uh
clicks which is um decent consider ing
after such a short time right uh however
um I don't really see it you know
increasing so much so I think much more
effort has to be put into doing SEO uh
doing some link building stuff like that
but I do see it um ranking on some of
the the keywords that I wanted to to
rank
for now this side here is the one that
actually receives a lot of leads so if I
go to the back end of my site this one
here so let me see if you can see it so
you see this is actually all of the
leads that I got in let me just see no
actually I got two pages of leads um so
on the first page here I start to get
leads in from the 5th of June so on this
page is 1 two 3 four five six seven and
then on this page I got 20 leads on this
page so it's 27 leads uh people actually
filling out the form and reaching out
and then once in a while I actually get
a few phone calls which which now is
kind of annoying so I just don't pick up
the phone to be completely honest um so
if you're going to just a recommendation
if you're going to do this and if you're
going to do a uh you know a a pin on
Google Map a Google map business profile
do not use your own phone number just I
don't know find to see if you can find a
cheap phone number because then you know
for sure that okay it's a person calling
you uh to inquire about this service
because right now I get it on my um on
my own phone and I don't know if it's
actually from this website or if it's
from some other stuff so that's kind of
annoying and something I want to change
so do not use your own phone number just
a personal
recommendation so you can see here in
September uh last month we got one two 3
4 five 6 7even eight
leads uh the month before that in August
we got three and then in July we got one
two 3 four five six seven so seven leads
and three leads and then eight leads and
then October so far we got uh one lead
so um the the positive thing is this
website start to get a lot of like a lot
of traffic and leads quickly but sort of
also stagnating so what I think and
believe is and I mentioned this in the
past video
is I think yeah some of the traffic
comes from the fact that the domain has
been created by H from an expired domain
so both of the sides is actually from an
expired domain so it start to get
traffic very quickly and I think some of
the leads I get also from the old pin on
Google Maps so there's a pin on Google
Maps there's actually two now the one I
created and then the old business owner
created and I think that one probably
getes traffic and then people click on
the link and they go into the website
now if I search uh by my keyword if I
just make this larger uh if I search
exactly by the keyword that wants people
to search for so moving company city
name I actually get the the pin here you
can see the the pin from my website and
you can see here over in the left side
that we actually have the the place here
well but the problem is I haven't worked
on it so I actually didn't get any um uh
reviews which is something that I think
would benefit a lot but um it comes here
so that's great and um I had people
asking if uh if this isn't going to be
shut down because I showed on some of my
previous videos how to actually get you
know a pin and a Google my business
profile without actually physically
verifying I don't know it seemed like I
found some kind of a
loophole it seemed to work and it's
still on here at the map so that works
you can check out the video if you want
to do it for yourself and um then I have
this other website that I did let me
just make it a bit smaller so you can
see here the um you can see here how um
again it's from an expired domain and
this is super interesting to me how the
website had before I took it over it had
some traffic was sort of falling down
which I assume is because they closed
down the website and then nothing right
so went down down down then nothing and
then I started again around me right
that's when I posted the video as well
and then it just sort of start to pick
up again and um this one doesn't receive
as much traffic as the other one but it
does seem to
Trend um more so than the other so it
just goes up so it's going to be
interesting to see uh what kind of an
effect this will have in the coming
months um so again I'm just going to let
this Brew more and you know a couple of
months and I might do another update uh
down the road and
um and then yeah around I think around
June and yeah I think around June I
actually did do call Outreach to try to
sell the leads that I get in on the
other website so actually what I did was
here on the map I would
um I would simply just search for for
the for for moving company right and
then um I would uh simply just find the
the companies around here just search
and I actually just called them up on on
Skype but you can see here when I search
there's not a lot so I called the moving
companies sort of in the vicinity of the
the city that I have there my company
right because it doesn't really make
sense if the moving company is very far
away because it's not the leads is not
relevant but to my surprise it was
actually very difficult to have people
sort of buy the leads I had a couple of
people that was interested but then they
sort of off fell fell off and didn't
didn't want to continue
so so that's also something that you
have to consider is the fact that well
you you you make this website in a
whatever City if this is a local
business and not an online business it's
all something where they have to drive
drive out to be let's say a window
cleaner or something like that will if
you can't find a business that want to
spy these leads well then you just have
a website not doing anything you know so
it it's it's um I'm sure it's possible
to sell the leads and and and rent out
the the website right but uh it's not
easy as it sounds so I would I would
call them up and say hey I have this
website with people inquiring about
moving
services and I would say hey but I I
can't you know provide the service would
you be interested in taking over some of
these leads and and uh some people they
didn't really you know they they was
they didn't really understand they're
kind of oldfashioned old school and then
some people they were interested and say
hey yeah okay that sounds interesting
can you send me an email you know with
the price and stuff like that and I
would do that and and I would quote them
a price um and and they just didn't you
know accept it and it was really high
price so I tried to sell it for around I
think it was around uh $20 per lead you
know per contact which yeah I don't know
it it might be too much um but it kind
of have to make sense right because if I
let's say that now I get I got eight
leads from from uh from from last month
let's say that was
$20 uh that that would be what you know
$160 it's not a lot of money right so so
even at that price you need to have a
lot of traffic a lot of volume to
generate any significant amount of of of
money uh all you know I also get got
some phone calls right so that's a
little bit extra maybe I got I don't
know 12 13 leads for one month and uh
okay I could maybe do it even cheaper
$10 you know per lead but then again
it's it's it's would be
$80 and uh okay if you can scale it up
and if you can automate everything maybe
it's it's a good business um but I think
to make this make sense I think uh the
the traffic has to increase a lot and
the um and and the leads as well and
then maybe sell it to a more uh dominant
uh actor on on on the market like maybe
a big competitor someone that that
Services the whole country because there
is certain moving companies as least in
Denmark that that Services the whole um
country and and then maybe get get in
contact with I don't know a marketing
manager that buys traffic right and
didn't say hey I have these leads do you
want to buy them and then that that
would be interesting um but for now I
don't really have much time to work on
it so I'll just going to let it sit let
see what happens the the hosting and
stuff like that it's it doesn't really
cost me so much it's very cheap so I'll
just let it brew and just let it let it
sit for a while and then see see what
happens and I might I don't know in in
two or three months check in again so so
if you're considering doing Rank and RNs
my sort of
recommendations um besides everything
that already discussed in in previous
videos is do not use your personal phone
number just buy a new phone number if
you can find something cheap maybe you
can find like a Skype phone number and
then I would say try use expired domains
right so find an expired domain in in a
niche in a certain certain city and then
maybe consider doing more than one
because you can see here there's a big
difference in the uh in the effect of
these two websites I did so you can do
one two maybe just start with one and
then just copy it to a different Niche
or maybe the same Niche but in a
different city and it's very easy right
to just copy let's say if you do like a
WordPress website or something like that
very easy to just micro it copy it to a
new host just find host that's very
cheap um and then um then yeah get the
pin maybe also think about if you find
an expired domain do they also have a
pin on Google Maps that you can sort of
Steal You know um because that will also
give you some traffic so all of these
you should probably consider but and
then I would also say that it's not a
quick money grabbing scheme I think
ranger rent has a potential to work if
you really you know put effort into it
but it's going to take a while right
because you want to have this ranked and
unless you are some kind of a SEO genius
or maybe have these really um high
quality backlinks I think it's going to
take a while to rank the website
actually just see on this websites you
have you
know what after 3 four months it's
ranking and it's it's getting some
traffic but it's not a lot right so it's
it's going to take a while so keep that
in mind I think it's a good thing to
just sort of put this seed in you know
just do the websites have it running and
then after a while maybe in a six month
or year all right now you have have a
business that give you some basically
passive income so I would say that it's
not a quick win it's a it's a it's a
long game take it as a long game that's
at least what I you know see this as
Ask follow-up questions or revisit key timestamps.
The speaker provides a four-month update on two "Rank and Rent" website projects. After three months of inactivity, one site, built on an expired domain, is receiving stagnant traffic but generating 27 leads overall, with recent numbers showing 8 leads in September. The other site, also from an expired domain, shows an upward traffic trend despite lower volume. The speaker notes that using expired domains and existing Google Maps pins helped generate initial traffic and leads. They attempted to sell leads for $20 each but found it challenging, concluding that current lead volume makes it less profitable and the strategy requires significantly more traffic or selling to larger national businesses. Key recommendations for Rank and Rent include not using a personal phone number, utilizing expired domains with existing Google Maps pins, creating multiple sites, and understanding that it is a long-term strategy for passive income, not a quick money scheme.
