How Rich Howard 301 Redirected His Way To 140,000 In Organic Traffic!

It's great to have Richmond Howard on the podcast this week. Rich has found a way to successfully grow his niche sites all while working full time as a pastor, studying for a master's degree, and being a husband and new dad! 3 or 4 years ago he was in a job that he hated and was looking for something new. He heard about blogging and affiliate marketing through listening to podcasts and decided to give it a go. He started a finance blog and worked half-heartedly on that for a couple of years, but it didn't really come to much. However, there were a couple of posts he'd put together on meal prepping that were ranking really well. After investigating the meal prepping niche further he saw a lot of opportunities and decided to start a site dedicated to that instead. He moved those successful posts from the finance blog in August 2019 to his new site mealprepify.com. He doubled down on content and links and now this site is making over $6K per month. In January 2021, traffic was at 140,000. Pretty incredible! In mid-2020, Rich made a move that really helped to fuel this growth. He bought a site from Motion Invest that was making around $600 per month. This site was in the same or similar niche as Meal Prepify and had about 150 articles on it.
