Today I am interviewing Tung Tran of CloudLivingJourney. Tung is the person who inspired me to start my own niche site case study and I was somewhat successful with that site.

 

Tung has been inspiring a lot of people lately with his success story. He is from Vietnam and let’s see what’s up his sleeves.

 

 

 

Me:Are you a full time internet marketer or do you have a job as well?

 

Tung:I’ve just dropped out of college so yes I’m a full time internet marketer now

 

Me: It takes a great deal of courage to drop out of college.Do you think relying on SEO will be alright for niche sites or any site for the long term

 

Tung: No

 

Me:So do think you will do or change for a long term income

 

Tung: Just look at site like nerdfitness.com or copyblogger.com and copy their strategy write super quality content + content marketing + build a huge following build a list as well but I think SEO is still a good traffic generation strategy for now paid traffic is a great way to drive traffic as well

 

Me: Great idea, I am thinking on the same lines. Have you ever thought of learning ppc and ppv?

 

Tung: It’s all about ROI, yes. testing sometimes

Me: Great. How did you get started online, like age, how did you earn your first dollar

 

Tung: it’s a long journey
