Want to escape the 9 to 5 rat race but struggle to come up with good business ideas?

This episode is for you.

Peter Askew got into the internet business working for .com startups in the late 90s. Due to a series of bad experiences though, he was pretty much forced into entrepreneurship (his words). Thanks to this, over time, he developed an awesome ability to create opportunities by acquiring strategic aged domains.

This is what he dives into today which you don't want to miss!

Peter's strategy is really cool and the interview covers a lot of interesting stories and insights from his journey.

It all started when he acquired the domain duderanch.com, which became the cornerstone of his success.

And while growing it - he learned a lot of lessons about diving into a niche that have continued to help him in all sorts of ways. He talks about attending industry conferences and fostering relationships with ranch owners. And how these real-world relationships translate to online business growth.

Over time, Peter continued to grow his site's directory-style business by improving rankings and revenue. And he discusses some key insights from various metrics, regarding his site's design, imagery, and brand reputation.

It hasn't been all successes though.

He also shares how important the niche is for success with this model - highlighting the expensive lessons he learned after acquiring 'birthdayparties.com'.

Peter also discusses the growth of his job board in the ranching industry, and his DTC onion project.

These are projects that highlight his ability to compete with comparatively massive companies thanks to his domain strategy.

Overall his story is really inspirational. And one that highlights the sometimes overlooked techniques that can be used to grow nearly any business. And is an episode that is absolutely worth watching.
