Doug Cunnington: Financial Independence, Niche Sites, SEO, Email Lists, Sleep & More | Episode 37
Doug Cunnington is a niche authority site enthusiast. He has a popular YouTube channel, Podcast, and blog called Niche Site Project — all about content websites that earn money with affiliate commissions and display ads. Doug got started in 2013 with an Adsense niche site that was a total flop, but he was hooked. He’s created and sold multiple websites for multiple six figures. Before getting laid off in 2015, his old corporate job gig was working as a management consultant for very big telecom companies. Doug has been a Project Management Professional (PMP) since 2008.
Doug shares his journey from working in corporate jobs to becoming an entrepreneur, creator & ultimately becoming financially independent.
The episode is jam-packed with actionable insight for anyone pursuing entrepreneurship and financial independence.
