About This Episode

Shaan Puri interviews entrepreneur Ramon Van Meer about his journey building a soap opera blog from scratch and selling it for $8.75 million. The episode highlights how Ramon used lean testing, Facebook fan pages, and outsourced content to build a high-profit business in a niche he knew nothing about.

Episode Description

Ramon Van Meer (@ramonvanmeer) has never seen a soap opera. Yet somehow, he built the most popular soap opera blog on the planet - and was raking in millions per year! Today's conversation is about how he got the idea, and flipped a $49 WordPress theme into a multi-million dollar payday.

Key Takeaways

1

Validate business niches by testing engagement on social media fan pages with minimal ad spend before building a full website or product.

2

Scale content businesses by hiring specialized freelancers and using existing successful templates rather than learning to code or write everything yourself.

3

Build an email list and private groups early to create a traffic hedge that protects your business from sudden platform algorithm shifts.
