How do you start and grow an online business—and what does it take to grow a website to $1 million and beyond? Ron Stefanski started OneHourProfessor.com in 2014, and since then has grown to a portfolio of seven sites with an average revenue of $30,000 a month and phenomenal 85% profit margins. The ironic thing is, while OneHourProfessor was Ron’s first site, it was also his first failure. In this interview, we’ll find out what he learned from that experience and how that led him to greater success with the websites that followed. He’ll also share his strategy for using content marketing and SEO to drive traffic to his sites, along with other tips for finding leads and converting those leads into revenue. One great thing about starting an online business is you don’t need a ton of money. Ron invested just $3,000 to start OneHourProfessor. He explains how he spent that money and what the main costs are for an online business startup. If you’re curious how to start an online business like a professional, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. ResourcesOneHourProfessor.com - See the course and site in action and find out more about Ron’s businessUpFlip HUB - Everything you need to know to start a business from the ground upUpFlip on YouTube - See more interviews with successful business ownersAhrefs - SEO tools to drive more traffic to your online businessGoogle Ads - Effective strategies to find and attract customers Google Analytics - Helpful tools for growing your audience and tracking your businessWordPress - Website hosting and design templates for small business ownersUpwork - Freelancer marketplace ProBlogger - Community and resources for professional bloggersTrello - Productivity and workflow management platformManageWP - Dashboard for monitoring and maintaining WordPress websitesThe 4-Hour Workweek - Book by Timothy Ferriss with practical tips to boost your income while reducing your workload
