all right boys it's been a while since I

0:02

did my last update on my rank and rent

0:05

so finally here it is so I did a just a

0:09

recap I did a rank and rent project I

0:12

actually did two different uh Rank and

0:14

rent websites and this is about four

0:16

months ago you can go check out my uh

0:19

YouTube channel uh let me just show you

0:22

so uh let me put myself down here so you

0:26

can see uh I think yeah 4 months ago go

0:30

about yeah this one here is uh 4 months

0:32

ago and then I did

0:35

a uh I did an update after that uh let

0:39

me see so first update was 3 months ago

0:42

and then I did another

0:44

update uh I think the following couple

0:47

of weeks so been 3 months since my last

0:49

update so I thought it would be good

0:51

just updating you uh how it's going with

0:53

the rang wi rinse to be completely Fair

0:55

I've been working on other stuff so I

0:57

actually haven't uh worked on the sites

0:59

for the past last three months but

1:02

things are still happening so I'll just

1:03

show you uh actually the traffic that I

1:06

get on the websit so this is the the

1:09

first one and this is the one that

1:11

actually receives the most amount of

1:13

traffic and after I'll show you how many

1:15

leads I actually get in so you can see

1:18

it does get some traffic however it's

1:20

it's not really um a lot and I don't

1:23

really see any Trend in terms of the uh

1:27

the amount of traffic I received so if

1:29

just go back past last 12 months uh the

1:32

data here we go and this attracts uh

1:36

since let's see in May when I launched

1:39

it and you can see that very quickly re

1:43

we started to receive

1:46

traffic um you can but you can see here

1:48

it sort of stagnates on this side here

1:51

and I get like since then I got like

1:54

153 uh

1:56

clicks which is um decent consider ing

2:00

after such a short time right uh however

2:04

um I don't really see it you know

2:06

increasing so much so I think much more

2:08

effort has to be put into doing SEO uh

2:11

doing some link building stuff like that

2:13

but I do see it um ranking on some of

2:16

the the keywords that I wanted to to

2:18

rank

2:19

for now this side here is the one that

2:22

actually receives a lot of leads so if I

2:24

go to the back end of my site this one

2:27

here so let me see if you can see it so

2:29

you see this is actually all of the

2:31

leads that I got in let me just see no

2:34

actually I got two pages of leads um so

2:37

on the first page here I start to get

2:39

leads in from the 5th of June so on this

2:42

page is 1 two 3 four five six seven and

2:46

then on this page I got 20 leads on this

2:50

page so it's 27 leads uh people actually

2:52

filling out the form and reaching out

2:55

and then once in a while I actually get

2:56

a few phone calls which which now is

2:58

kind of annoying so I just don't pick up

3:00

the phone to be completely honest um so

3:03

if you're going to just a recommendation

3:05

if you're going to do this and if you're

3:07

going to do a uh you know a a pin on

3:10

Google Map a Google map business profile

3:12

do not use your own phone number just I

3:14

don't know find to see if you can find a

3:16

cheap phone number because then you know

3:19

for sure that okay it's a person calling

3:21

you uh to inquire about this service

3:24

because right now I get it on my um on

3:26

my own phone and I don't know if it's

3:28

actually from this website or if it's

3:30

from some other stuff so that's kind of

3:33

annoying and something I want to change

3:34

so do not use your own phone number just

3:36

a personal

3:39

recommendation so you can see here in

3:42

September uh last month we got one two 3

3:45

4 five 6 7even eight

3:48

leads uh the month before that in August

3:50

we got three and then in July we got one

3:53

two 3 four five six seven so seven leads

3:56

and three leads and then eight leads and

3:58

then October so far we got uh one lead

4:02

so um the the positive thing is this

4:05

website start to get a lot of like a lot

4:07

of traffic and leads quickly but sort of

4:11

also stagnating so what I think and

4:14

believe is and I mentioned this in the

4:16

past video

4:17

is I think yeah some of the traffic

4:19

comes from the fact that the domain has

4:22

been created by H from an expired domain

4:25

so both of the sides is actually from an

4:27

expired domain so it start to get

4:29

traffic very quickly and I think some of

4:32

the leads I get also from the old pin on

4:35

Google Maps so there's a pin on Google

4:37

Maps there's actually two now the one I

4:39

created and then the old business owner

4:42

created and I think that one probably

4:44

getes traffic and then people click on

4:46

the link and they go into the website

4:48

now if I search uh by my keyword if I

4:51

just make this larger uh if I search

4:53

exactly by the keyword that wants people

4:55

to search for so moving company city

4:57

name I actually get the the pin here you

5:01

can see the the pin from my website and

5:04

you can see here over in the left side

5:06

that we actually have the the place here

5:09

well but the problem is I haven't worked

5:11

on it so I actually didn't get any um uh

5:14

reviews which is something that I think

5:17

would benefit a lot but um it comes here

5:21

so that's great and um I had people

5:23

asking if uh if this isn't going to be

5:26

shut down because I showed on some of my

5:28

previous videos how to actually get you

5:31

know a pin and a Google my business

5:33

profile without actually physically

5:35

verifying I don't know it seemed like I

5:37

found some kind of a

5:38

loophole it seemed to work and it's

5:40

still on here at the map so that works

5:42

you can check out the video if you want

5:43

to do it for yourself and um then I have

5:47

this other website that I did let me

5:49

just make it a bit smaller so you can

5:51

see here the um you can see here how um

5:55

again it's from an expired domain and

5:56

this is super interesting to me how the

5:59

website had before I took it over it had

6:02

some traffic was sort of falling down

6:04

which I assume is because they closed

6:06

down the website and then nothing right

6:09

so went down down down then nothing and

6:12

then I started again around me right

6:14

that's when I posted the video as well

6:15

and then it just sort of start to pick

6:17

up again and um this one doesn't receive

6:20

as much traffic as the other one but it

6:23

does seem to

6:25

Trend um more so than the other so it

6:29

just goes up so it's going to be

6:30

interesting to see uh what kind of an

6:32

effect this will have in the coming

6:35

months um so again I'm just going to let

6:37

this Brew more and you know a couple of

6:39

months and I might do another update uh

6:41

down the road and

6:43

um and then yeah around I think around

6:47

June and yeah I think around June I

6:50

actually did do call Outreach to try to

6:53

sell the leads that I get in on the

6:55

other website so actually what I did was

6:57

here on the map I would

7:00

um I would simply just search for for

7:03

the for for moving company right and

7:05

then um I would uh simply just find the

7:09

the companies around here just search

7:11

and I actually just called them up on on

7:14

Skype but you can see here when I search

7:15

there's not a lot so I called the moving

7:19

companies sort of in the vicinity of the

7:22

the city that I have there my company

7:25

right because it doesn't really make

7:27

sense if the moving company is very far

7:28

away because it's not the leads is not

7:30

relevant but to my surprise it was

7:32

actually very difficult to have people

7:34

sort of buy the leads I had a couple of

7:36

people that was interested but then they

7:38

sort of off fell fell off and didn't

7:40

didn't want to continue

7:41

so so that's also something that you

7:44

have to consider is the fact that well

7:47

you you you make this website in a

7:50

whatever City if this is a local

7:52

business and not an online business it's

7:54

all something where they have to drive

7:56

drive out to be let's say a window

7:57

cleaner or something like that will if

7:59

you can't find a business that want to

8:01

spy these leads well then you just have

8:03

a website not doing anything you know so

8:06

it it's it's um I'm sure it's possible

8:08

to sell the leads and and and rent out

8:10

the the website right but uh it's not

8:13

easy as it sounds so I would I would

8:15

call them up and say hey I have this

8:17

website with people inquiring about

8:19

moving

8:20

services and I would say hey but I I

8:23

can't you know provide the service would

8:25

you be interested in taking over some of

8:27

these leads and and uh some people they

8:31

didn't really you know they they was

8:33

they didn't really understand they're

8:34

kind of oldfashioned old school and then

8:36

some people they were interested and say

8:37

hey yeah okay that sounds interesting

8:39

can you send me an email you know with

8:40

the price and stuff like that and I

8:41

would do that and and I would quote them

8:44

a price um and and they just didn't you

8:48

know accept it and it was really high

8:50

price so I tried to sell it for around I

8:54

think it was around uh $20 per lead you

8:56

know per contact which yeah I don't know

8:58

it it might be too much um but it kind

9:01

of have to make sense right because if I

9:04

let's say that now I get I got eight

9:05

leads from from uh from from last month

9:08

let's say that was

9:10

$20 uh that that would be what you know

9:12

$160 it's not a lot of money right so so

9:16

even at that price you need to have a

9:18

lot of traffic a lot of volume to

9:20

generate any significant amount of of of

9:23

money uh all you know I also get got

9:27

some phone calls right so that's a

9:28

little bit extra maybe I got I don't

9:30

know 12 13 leads for one month and uh

9:33

okay I could maybe do it even cheaper

9:35

$10 you know per lead but then again

9:38

it's it's it's would be

9:39

$80 and uh okay if you can scale it up

9:42

and if you can automate everything maybe

9:44

it's it's a good business um but I think

9:47

to make this make sense I think uh the

9:51

the traffic has to increase a lot and

9:54

the um and and the leads as well and

9:56

then maybe sell it to a more uh dominant

10:00

uh actor on on on the market like maybe

10:02

a big competitor someone that that

10:04

Services the whole country because there

10:06

is certain moving companies as least in

10:08

Denmark that that Services the whole um

10:11

country and and then maybe get get in

10:13

contact with I don't know a marketing

10:15

manager that buys traffic right and

10:17

didn't say hey I have these leads do you

10:19

want to buy them and then that that

10:20

would be interesting um but for now I

10:24

don't really have much time to work on

10:26

it so I'll just going to let it sit let

10:28

see what happens the the hosting and

10:30

stuff like that it's it doesn't really

10:32

cost me so much it's very cheap so I'll

10:33

just let it brew and just let it let it

10:36

sit for a while and then see see what

10:37

happens and I might I don't know in in

10:39

two or three months check in again so so

10:42

if you're considering doing Rank and RNs

10:44

my sort of

10:46

recommendations um besides everything

10:48

that already discussed in in previous

10:50

videos is do not use your personal phone

10:52

number just buy a new phone number if

10:54

you can find something cheap maybe you

10:55

can find like a Skype phone number and

10:58

then I would say try use expired domains

11:02

right so find an expired domain in in a

11:04

niche in a certain certain city and then

11:07

maybe consider doing more than one

11:09

because you can see here there's a big

11:10

difference in the uh in the effect of

11:13

these two websites I did so you can do

11:15

one two maybe just start with one and

11:17

then just copy it to a different Niche

11:19

or maybe the same Niche but in a

11:20

different city and it's very easy right

11:23

to just copy let's say if you do like a

11:24

WordPress website or something like that

11:26

very easy to just micro it copy it to a

11:28

new host just find host that's very

11:30

cheap um and then um then yeah get the

11:34

pin maybe also think about if you find

11:36

an expired domain do they also have a

11:39

pin on Google Maps that you can sort of

11:40

Steal You know um because that will also

11:43

give you some traffic so all of these

11:45

you should probably consider but and

11:47

then I would also say that it's not a

11:50

quick money grabbing scheme I think

11:53

ranger rent has a potential to work if

11:55

you really you know put effort into it

11:58

but it's going to take a while right

11:59

because you want to have this ranked and

12:02

unless you are some kind of a SEO genius

12:04

or maybe have these really um high

12:08

quality backlinks I think it's going to

12:11

take a while to rank the website

12:12

actually just see on this websites you

12:14

have you

12:16

know what after 3 four months it's

12:18

ranking and it's it's getting some

12:20

traffic but it's not a lot right so it's

12:21

it's going to take a while so keep that

12:23

in mind I think it's a good thing to

12:25

just sort of put this seed in you know

12:27

just do the websites have it running and

12:29

then after a while maybe in a six month

12:30

or year all right now you have have a

12:32

business that give you some basically

12:35

passive income so I would say that it's

12:37

not a quick win it's a it's a it's a

12:39

long game take it as a long game that's

12:41

at least what I you know see this as

Interactive Summary

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.
