Building Authority Sites Is A Huge Challenge For Beginners
It requires you to get good at many skills, such as…
Market Research
If you choose the wrong market, your site will be guaranteed to fail. This first stage is the most important part of any authority site and the one most people get wrong.
Keyword Research
While picking the right tool is the first challenge for beginners, Knowing how to use it effectively to uncover the right keywords is where more people fail at in their new site journey.
Building Your Site
There are millions of tools, plugins, and themes nowadays. With so many choices, it isn’t easy to pick the right one. Slow, clunky, and out-of-date technology will kill your rankings.
Using AI Effectively
Using ChatGPT and similar AI tech can significantly boost your productivity. But, misusing it to scale poor content risks losing your traffic. You need to find the perfect balance.
Content Creation
Writing about a topic is not easy. Your content needs to appeal to both readers and Google. Most people waste a huge amount of time writing content that is destined to fail.
Link Building
Your site won’t rank without links. It’s no secret link building is hard. And scaling true white hat link building is even more difficult. There are severe penalties for doing it wrong.
Navigating Google Updates
Successive Google algorithm updates can send website traffic swinging if you’re not doing the right thing. You’ve got to stay sharp—what works now might not cut it tomorrow.
Monetization
This is why you’re doing this in the first place, right? To make money. We’re always amazed by how many authority sites neglect proven monetization strategies that are easy to implement.
Managing Resources
Building a successful website is a big logistics game. You have to manage your resources carefully; if you don’t, you stand very little chance of overtaking your competitors.
We Built And Refined A Proven, Systematic Approach To Consistently Grow Successful Sites
We’ve shared many of our stories about building these sites on the blog, the podcast, interviews, and more.
While building many authority sites in multiple niches over the years, we’ve been fortunate to get enough success and make it our full-time job.
But our past success is of little use to someone who is on the outside looking in and wanting to join this industry.
The real question you probably have about all these case studies is:
- Will this stuff work today?
- Are the tactics used in these case studies outdated?
- Can this be replicated again and again?
These are fair questions. And rather than writing 500 words trying to convince people, we regularly put ourselves in your shoes.
We start brand new sites on $10 domains, apply the tactics we know have worked for us, and see if they still work today with a live case study.
We did this in 2019 when we started a software review site in one of the most competitive affiliate niches.
We applied all our known systems — market research, keyword research, site setup, branding, team building, content, link building, and monetization.
We even wrote a full case study blog post giving all the details
It was a bit of a grind, but it was essential for us to make sure we were not washed out and full of sh*t like most of the industry.
18 months of hard work later, the site we started on a $10 domain was generating 6-figure revenue per year and ranking for some wildly competitive keywords.
Shortly after, we sold it for a very comfortable mid-6 figure amount (though, unfortunately, I can’t legally disclose the exact amount.)
We did it again in 2020 when we took an old abandoned golf site and applied our updated processes from the last project.
Again, it took some time and grunt work to get the site back in shape with new content, links, technical fixes, and so on.
But Google rewarded us with fast-growing traffic. And with that, the revenue skyrocketed to mid-5 figures per year.
This allowed us to once again, sell the site for 6 figures after about 18 months it.
We did it again in 2023, where we documented another case study sold for 6 figures starting, this time, from an expired domain.
And that’s not even considering the fact that we’ve doubled the organic traffic of authorityhacker.com in 2023, despite all the changes and updates Google has gone through and the very competitive nature of the niche.
So, I guess the answer to the original question, “Does this stuff still work, and can it be repeated even in 2024?” is a resounding yes. And we’re regularly walking the talk to prove it.
While working on each of these test sites, we experimented, field-tested, and documented our tactics.
Then we put them inside a complete video training about starting new authority sites even if you’ve never done it before:

The Authority Site System solves both these problems by giving you an A-Z linear to-do list. Now you can focus on doing and making progress rather than procrastinating.

And because each task is broken down into easy and quick actions that you can usually get done in less than 30 minutes, it gives you a real sense of progress with your goal.
When you’re done with your current task, just fire up the task management system, open up the next item and keep going with the training.
All the tasks are carefully crafted to link to all the relevant lessons, templates, and resources you may need so you can focus on building your site while we got your back!
