DIRECTORY BUILDERS

Profit from hand-curating the web's best information

Our community has hundreds of members building and growing profitable web directories by curating the very best software, local wedding services, real estate listings, and more. The options are truly limitless.

The community and training will teach you how to launch your own directory quickly, covering where to find listings, the right design decisions to make, all the way to the right software to use (many don't require you to know how to code).

Once you have a great directory to launch, it's time to grow traffic to it so that companies want to get involved, with either partnerships and/or sponsorships.

The community and training will cover how you can grow targeted organic traffic to your new web directory, via partnerships, interviews, content, social media, and other tips/hacks that are only discussed in the private members area.

Once you have a great web directory up and running with steady decent traffic, it's now time to focus your efforts on generating revenue streams.

The community and training will cover multiple ways you can generate revenue with a web directory; from selling premium listings (companies pay to rank higher than their competition) to promoting affiliate offers, partnerships and display advertising.

Most web directories sell for 3-5x yearly earnings on marketplaces such as MicroAcquire and EmpireFlippers.

A directory needs to sell 67 premium listings at $299/yr to generate $20,000 ARR (annual recurring revenue). Multiply this by 4 and you have an $80,000 exit ($100,000 total if you add on the $20,000 in revenue).

Kind words from our members:

Being part of the directory builders group, I've seen first hand how a directory should be built properly. From identifying the right target market, the technology to build the website, ranking it and selling premium listings - Chris has done this in front of our eyes, with multiple directories. The course is a great shortcut to actually build a profitable directory.
