Welcome back to the latest episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast!

This week Jared is joined by Brooks Conkle, a member of the Niche Pursuits Community as well as an entrepreneur with many, many income streams, lots of experience in the industry, and plenty of insights to share.

There\u2019s some interesting news for publishers this week, so get comfortable!

The first order of business is the recently released Google Core Update, for which there is now some data available. Jared and Brooks talk about the absolute winners so far.

Who\u2019s benefiting the most from the update? Are you surprised by the results?\xa0

Then Jared shares a particularly exciting promising news item: signs of life after the HCU.\xa0

They also share information about sites that are recovering, and Jared asks some important questions and talks specifically about HouseFresh and RetroDodo.\xa0

Then he and Brooks share their thoughts about the current landscape and suggest that there are greater questions to be answered, about Google, the future of search, and AI.

Moving along, they talk about Google AI Overviews and where they\u2019re pulling their information from.

Then they move on to the Shiny Object Shenanigans, and Jared talks about his focus on earning money from projects he\u2019s already working on.\xa0

First, he shares his experience to date with Creator Connections.\xa0

Then he shares a new side hustle he recently started: publishing the content he\u2019s already written on Medium. He talks a little bit about how it works and his future plans.

When it\u2019s Brooks\u2019 turn, he talks about a new side hustle: domain name investing. He shares all the interesting things he\u2019s discovered about this world and some of the domains he\u2019s purchased. Listen to the full episode to hear more about it.

Then it\u2019s time for some Weird Niche Sites, Jared shares his site first: All 8, a very strange DR47 site with just 3 links on it related to square dancing and beat measurements. Surprisingly, this site gets 30k visitors per month while only ranking for 1k keywords.\xa0

Brooks then shares a weird site he found called The Pet Psychic, which gets 11k pageviews per month.\xa0

And that concludes another episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast. We hope you feel better informed after listening to what\u2019s happening in the industry, motivated by the stories about our side hustles, and inspired by the weird niche sites people are creating.
