How I Sold A Passive Income Site For $1830.40 Using Empire Flippers

October 30, 2015 By Joel Runyon 5 Comments

The other day I sold a passive income site I built 2 years ago for $1,830.40 with Empire Flippers. Here’s an in-depth look at how I went and sold my first website ever (and what I thought of the whole process). The Background A couple years back, I started a new web site (to protect the buyer's privacy, let's call it GWP.com). It was in the WordPress themes space. I had seen some success from other sites in the space and knew there was ...

Impossible Case Study: Sir Roger Bannister and The Four-Minute Mile

April 5, 2014 By Joel Runyon 24 Comments

Sir Roger Bannister was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes. Up until he did it in 1954, most people thought the four-minute mark was impossible to break. They thought the human body couldn't physically go that fast - that it would collapse under the pressure. No-one could run a mile in less than four minutes. It was impossible. You were crazy to even try. That was, until Bannister proved everyone wrong, training in his own way, ...

October 28, 2013 By Joel Runyon 27 Comments

Disclaimer: This is not a medical recommendation or take on type 2 diabetes. Talk to your doctors before undertaking any program or diet. That said, this is a true story, and Les's story is real. If you're cool with that, read on. We've had tons of people drop 20-30 pounds, and a couple people lose 30-50. But few people have impressed me as much as Les - a 56 year old college professor who (in just 9 months), dropped over 80 pounds, reversed his type 2 ...

The New Years Contest Transformation: 3 Incredible Stories

April 12, 2013 By Joel Runyon 7 Comments

Woah. I'm finally getting my butt in gear and announcing our winners for the New Years contest. We had so many entries - it took me a while to get through them all. It's been a big process, but it's been really cool to see some of these transformations happen in real time. It was tough to narrow them down, not only going through physical changes, but also the stories of the people behind them but after much deliberation, we narrowed it down to our top 3 ...
