In the SEO world, authority is what counts most.
But when you’re launching your online business, authority might not even cross your mind.
A higher authority means more respect from Google, and more respect from Google means higher rankings for more queries.

Hey Josh and Jill,
Wow great interview. That really resonated with me since I don’t really have a passion that I honed in on and I definitely want to start an online business. Also Mark saying he wasn’t too tech savvy when he started makes me feel a little better since I am not either. I know you guys have ran a lot of niche sites. So for someone like myself who is completely new to this would recommend going with a niche site or starting a authority site. Thanks guys I am really glad I came across you.
Glad you liked it Denis! I would say start an authority site. Those smaller niche sites aren’t as effective as they were 3-5 years ago. I recommend watching Mark and Gael’s free training to see how they suggest finding niches.
