With AI changing almost every online business, a lot of people are asking the same question... What business model still makes sense in 2026? Before we get into it... If you'd like to see the exact business model I personally recommend, click here and watch this free training! The interesting thing is that AI hasn't replaced this business model—it has made it even better. Instead of competing with AI, you're using it to build websites faster, create content more efficiently, automate repetitive tasks, and scale a business that solves a real-world problem: connecting local businesses with customers who are actively looking for their services. The model is surprisingly simple: - Build a small website for a local service business (no coding required) - Generate enquiries from people searching for that service - Pass those leads to a local business - Get paid every month for the customers your website generates It's one of the few online business models where AI acts as a competitive advantage rather than a threat. Why I still recommend it - AI helps you build and scale faster - You own the digital assets you create - Local businesses have real marketing budgets - It's beginner-friendly and doesn't require advanced technical skills - It works in virtually every town and across hundreds of industries I'd be interested to hear your thoughts once you've seen it.

If you’ve been looking for a way to make money with local marketing, the Rank & Rent model is one strategy that stands out. 🚀 This method involves ranking a website for a specific service in a local area (e.g., “Best Plumber in [City]”) and then renting it out to a business owner. Once ranked, you can either charge a monthly fee or get paid per lead you generate. Simple in theory, but does it actually work? Let’s break it down. 👇 🔍 How Does Rank & Rent Work? 1️⃣ Pick a Niche & Location – Choose a service with high demand (e.g., roofing, pest control, dental services) in a city with solid search traffic. 2️⃣ Build & Rank a Website – Set up a website, optimize it for SEO, and start ranking it on Google for high-value local keywords. 3️⃣ Generate Leads – Once the site is ranking, it will start bringing in organic traffic and generating calls/form submissions. 4️⃣ Monetize – Rent the site to a business for a flat fee 💰 OR charge per lead they receive from your site. 📞 ✅ Pros of the Rank & Rent Model ✔️ Passive Income Potential – Once ranked, a site can bring in recurring revenue with little ongoing effort. ✔️ High-Profit Margins – You don’t have to deal with inventory, customer service, or fulfillment. ✔️ Scalable – You can build multiple sites in different niches and locations to multiply your earnings. ✔️ No Need to Be a Sales Expert – Unlike running an agency, you’re not selling a complex service—just a website or leads. ✔️ Low Start-Up Costs – Compared to traditional businesses, setting up a Rank & Rent site is relatively inexpensive (domain, hosting, SEO tools). ❌ Cons of the Rank & Rent Model ❌ SEO Takes Time – Mostly if you don't know what you are doing, but there are shortcuts ;-) ❌ Google Algorithm Updates – Your site’s ranking isn’t guaranteed forever, as Google updates can affect SEO strategies so this is a real issue. ❌ Finding Renters Can Be a Challenge – Some businesses won’t understand the value, and you may need to pitch multiple companies before landing a deal. But there are ways to optimize this.

I’ve been in this game a long time—since 2007, to be exact. I started out in a 9-5 job (hated it like most do), but my mind was always on making money online. Tried everything—affiliate sites, paid ads, whatever I could find. Back then, you could get AdWords clicks for 10 cents on “make money online” (crazy, right?), but I had no clue about funnels or conversions, so I’d spend money, see no results, and quit. The seed was planted, though... 2010 – Leaving My Job & Going All In By 2010, I hit a wall. I was basically depressed at my job, so I quit and went all-in on freelancing—writing and SEO. Stumbled across Freelancer.com, saw people paying for writing gigs, and realized:💡 "Wait... I actually know a thing or two about SEO."That turned into some decent SEO jobs, and I started making a few thousand a month. 2012 – Ditching Clients for Affiliate Marketing Clients were fine, but affiliate marketing seemed like the real way to make money. I spent the next year testing everything—list building, CPA offers, launch jacking—you name it. At one point, I was basically broke for a year, but I kept going. 2013 – First Big Break Things finally clicked. I got into high-ticket programs, promoted a few network marketing-style offers, and became a top earner in one. That took me through to mid-2016—made six figures during this time. 2016 – Back to Square One Made some bad financial decisions—bought a house, cars, wedding expenses, all that. Next thing I knew, broke again and had to start fresh. End of 2016 – Scaling to Millions Started a new blog, scaled it fast, hit hundreds of thousands of visitors, and ended up partnering with a company. Became their #1 affiliate and made a few million. 2023 – SEO Gets Harder SEO started shifting—updates hit, blogs declined, the game changed. But I’d already made good money, so I pivoted into local SEO & rank and rent, which still pulls in 5-figures a month today. What I Learned After 15+ Years I’ve tried nearly every business model out there. Probably left a ton of money on the table by never launching my own offer, but I never wanted to go down the usual "make a course, become a consultant" route.
