How To Create Original and Engaging Landing Pages + Insights into Affiliate Marketing. My name is Matt Giovanisci. I'm self-employed and work from home. But it's nothing special. I wake up whenever I want, put my sweatpants on one leg at a time, and tell my butler to make me an egg soufflé just like everyone else. Ok, I don't have a butler. I started a website in 2006 called Swim University. The site now makes over $250,000 a year but it took 10 years. I co-founded a personal finance brand and podcast called Listen Money Matters in 2013. I left after a year, but I re-joined in 2018. In March 2015, I started a coffee education website called Roasty. I sold it in 2018 for $55,000. I created Money Lab (this site) in 2016 so I can build more brands, make more money, and write off my home-brewing hobby. Speaking of which, I started a homebrewing site called Brew Cabin. I design and code all my own sites by hand. Write the words. Film and edit the videos. Produce podcasts. Illustrate the graphics. But now I have a team that helps me with writing and editing podcasts. In case that wasn't enough. https://www.moneylab.co/
