About me
I’m Morten Storgaard, 39 years old and lucky to have a wonderful wife and a cool little toddler named Max.
In 2007, I started an e-commerce site and quickly hired people to take care of everything else than SEO and online marketing (which quickly became my passion).
After three years, I went full-time as an SEO consultant while I started to build my own portfolio of passive income sites.
Today I run a portfolio of sites together with an awesome team of writers and editors which has enabled me to travel to 20+ countries on 4 continents with Maria and Max.
Now it’s time to share what I’ve learned with you guys!
My main motivation for going after PASSIVE income is to be able to spend most days with Max and Maria.
Frequently Asked Questions
This course will teach you all you need to know to go from scratch to full-time income. It doesn’t matter where you currently are on that journey. There are a few modules you can skip if you already have a site but there are also a lot of really valuable content for people who have been in the game for a long time. All is laid out in plain English (no insider lingo!)
Nope. I myself am from Denmark where I still live with my wife and kid. But I do focus on an American audience in the videos and the materials because that’s where you will make the most money. But you can easily apply it to any language and geographical location you wish. I also have sites in Danish and Norwegian where I use the same tactics.
You pay $299 for the first year and $99 to renew for an additional year. There is a recurring fee because I will continue to make updates and additions to the course over time, as well as keep you abreast of industry changes and best practices. You could choose to do this on your own, but by remaining a member I’ll do this hard work for you so that you can focus on your website!
All and everything. There are no up-sells or additional courses. You get access to everything immediately when you buy the course.
You will not need to purchase any tools or services in order to follow the course, other than a domain name and a basic hosting plan in order to get your site up and running. I do show you how to use a few paid tools down the line but those are completely optional and not necessary to succeed.
It largely depends on how much content you produce early on. But with 2-3 articles per week, you should expect 20-50,000 page views per month after around a year. And that should make you $400-$1,000 per month from ads and then we can add some affiliate income, which should bring even more revenue. But remember, I cannot guarantee the success of your business, no one can. I can simply show you what I do to see success with my sites.
Shout-outs
Some marketers have meant a great deal to me and helped me get where I am today. Tim Ferris is one of them. His book “4-Hour Work Week” initially helped me realise that passive income is possible.
Jim & Ricky from Income School also mean a lot to me. I like their clean SEO approach and it also inspired some of my thinking.
And finally, Pat Flynn was the first one I found who created passive income websites. I was addicted to his podcast!
