How To Create Original and Engaging Landing Pages + Insights into Affiliate Marketing.

My name is Matt Giovanisci. I'm self-employed and work from home. But it's nothing special. I wake up whenever I want, put my sweatpants on one leg at a time, and tell my butler to make me an egg soufflé just like everyone else.

Ok, I don't have a butler.

I started a website in 2006 called Swim University. The site now makes over $250,000 a year but it took 10 years.

I co-founded a personal finance brand and podcast called Listen Money Matters in 2013. I left after a year, but I re-joined in 2018.

In March 2015, I started a coffee education website called Roasty. I sold it in 2018 for $55,000.

I created Money Lab (this site) in 2016 so I can build more brands, make more money, and write off my home-brewing hobby. Speaking of which, I started a homebrewing site called Brew Cabin.

I design and code all my own sites by hand. Write the words. Film and edit the videos. Produce podcasts. Illustrate the graphics. But now I have a team that helps me with writing and editing podcasts.

In case that wasn't enough.

More About Vito Peleg & WP Feedback

Vito built his first website 19 years ago on GeoCities when he was 14 years old, it was scrappy and extremely bright colored. He made it for his skateboarding crew with his friends from school.

He remembers how exciting it was to simply go online.

Back then, whenever we connected to the internet it would take over the landline for the entire family, so I was only allowed to connect for just 1 hour per day.

So I spent days fiddling with FrontPage, just waiting for my 1 hour to upload the code and share the updates with my MIRC friends (kinda like a Stone Age version of Facebook).

That’s about the time I also picked up a guitar for the first time.

I borrowed a cheap electric guitar from a friend to learn on my own and impress a girl I liked.
But that first day was so inspiring I ended up sleeping with the guitar next to me in bed. It was love at first chord.
