About this episode

In this episode, Luke Van Der Veer discusses his successful 'Rank and Rent' business model for generating income through local websites.

What if you could rent out digital real estate just as you would traditional real estate, but without all the headaches that come with maintaining a property? That’s exactly what Luke Van Der Veer is doing with his digital “Rank and Rent” business. What Luke does is he builds a local service business website, then “rents” it out to a local, less digital-savvy business that is more than happy for the extra leads. Luke has been doing this for several years but said it took about 6 months to replace his day job income, and 12 months to hit 6-figures. Today he runs a portfolio of over 100 different websites using this “rank and rent” model, earning predictable recurring revenue taking up just a few hours pre week.
