How I'm Approaching SEO Differently in the Age of AI (and What’s Actually Working)

Because of you I got into building directories, and one of the 4 i made is already paying off! one of them which i made ( for a video game ) just three weeks ago is pulling in 10k views and about $7 a month. I know it isn't a huge amount yet, but I never thought about doing this before—my new goal is 500 directories before i die, have each make 1-20 usd a month, Thank you so much; you've seriously changed my life.

Ok, you convinced me to also build my own. I'm in Belgium, Europe. I'll build a directory that actually solves a problem I met and that should have saved me much time and money. Today is 2025.01.04, I'll come back in March to share how it all went.

10 Easy Directory Niches Perfect for Beginner SEOs

I have been building directories for 5–6 months now after discovering your videos. The first four did not work out (just a few organic visitors a day). Directory #5 actually has steady growth and is sitting at around 200 organic visitors per day at three months old. My sixth directory already hit 200 organic visitors after just one week.

How I Started Building with Claude Code in Just 14 Days (As a Non-Coder)

As somebody who’s been coding professionally at FAANG / Big Tech for over 10+ years, this is a great introduction for non-coders. These days, I use Claude Code to generate the bulk of my code at work.

Reverse Engineering Profitable Directories You've Never Heard Of

I love these videos because we are pulling back the curtain and showing data we would never see as a casual website visitor. Plus, your analysis of the numbers and insight is fantastic. If I bought an Ahrefs subscription and pulled up the same data I still wouldn't know how to interpret it. Yes, please do more of these videos. I watch every one of them.

How I Built My $2k/Month Website Directory With Zero Coding

seen a few of yoru videos now, and I love they aren't all "go from $0-$1M in 20 days, with zero effort and no knowledge. It's legit. "This works, there's work, it's not going to be earth shattering. It's a start, where you go from there is up to you."

Love your videos, Frey — I’m actually building a directory because of you! I run a small art workshop where I teach children art. Back then, I struggled a lot to research my local competition because the existing websites here in Germany were outdated or incomplete. After watching many of your videos, I decided to build a proper local directory myself.
