137: How to Start a Review Website That Actually Makes Money

Ever wondered how people make real money with review websites?

Derek Hales did exactly that—starting with just two mattress reviews and turning it into a thriving business.

Derek is the founder of NapLab, a site dedicated to in-depth, data-driven mattress reviews. Within six months of launching, his side hustle was making enough for him to quit his full-time job. Today, he’s reviewed over 400 products, employs friends and family, and runs a highly profitable website.

In this episode, Derek shares what it really takes to build a review website that actually makes money, including:

• How his website generates revenue
• How he pinpoints exactly which products to review next
• Why transparency builds trust, increases engagement, and drives more sales

If you’ve ever thought about launching a review site or want to turn online content into real income, this episode's for you!
