Profitable Directories
A directory needs to sell 84 premium listings at $299/yr or 125 at $199/yr to generate $25k. You can then list the directory for sale on MicroAquire for 3-4x ($100k). So $125k total. In this course I cover the strategy I'm using to build and grow 20 directories to do just this. By purchasing this course, you get access to my private community with 110 other directory builders110 members
