Here's a content update that's actually helpful (Reddit)

Hey there 👋,
Last week I discussed how I thought communities would become the next digital asset class that platforms such as Flippa would create a category for.
Since then the first Skool community has sold, and the platform has now enabled users to transfer ownership. It’s started.
But it’s not just Skool that’s now got my attention. I’ve been going through the Reddit Traffic Academy course that Ewen Finser (from Niche Media Publishing) created on how to leverage Reddit and it’s been truly eye opening.
Like a lot of people, Ewen’s portfolio of sites have been disrupted from all the helpful google updates over the last year. He stumbled upon Reddit and found a way to replace traffic, directly monetize and build communities for his website properties. Plus he’s even built his own successful agency at Redd Visible doing this for others.
Perhaps we should be the ones disrupting ourselves to be first to finding new, profitable opportunities!
This week we welcome back Porkbun as a sponsor - I recently registered ski.marketing with them and it was half the price being offered at GoDaddy (even with my discount domain club) and Namecheap. And their current deal is even better…
📈 Go .PRO For Just $1 With Porkbun
Porkbun is offering .PRO domain names for just $1 for the first year. It’s the perfect domain extension for all online professionals like:
Digital nomads and all remote work professionals.
Businesses establishing an online presence.
Freelancers, consultants, and contract workers advertising their services.
Showcasing your work portfolio online.
Certified and licensed professionals like lawyers, doctors, electricians, and more.
Plus every domain from Porkbun comes with free features like WHOIS privacy, SSL certificates, web and email hosting trials, and more. After all, why pay for things that should be free?
Their simple user interface lets you manage everything about your domain from one place. Plus it all comes backed by personalized five-star support, 365 days a year. No wonder they were named the #1 domain registrar by USA Today for 2023 and 2024.
Get your .PRO domain name for just $1 for the first year from Porkbun — limited time only.
Before we get to this week’s news I’d like to do a poll - I ran something similar just over a year ago and content sites won out. I bet that’s no longer the case!
