SPI 208: Smart Passive Income Gets a Makeover! Why I Redesigned a Website That Wasn’t Broken

Last summer, I asked you guys how I was doing. I took that feedback to heart, and I conducted my own research on what was and wasn’t working about SmartPassiveIncome.com. Now, finally, I get to share some of the very exciting results of that work with you.

SmartPassiveIncome.com has gone through some major facelifts in the past. Just check out this one from 2008, or this one from 2009, or this update from 2011, where I introduced the all-important “Getting Started” page.

Today, I’m so excited to unveil one of SPI’s most dramatic makeovers yet—all thanks to a few powerful tools, the awesome team at RocketCode.io, and your feedback.

In this episode, I’m not only going to walk you through what is different about the brand-new site, but also why it’s different. I’ll cover the tools I used to learn what features needed improvement, my major goals for the new site, and how it’s all going to serve you better.

Thanks for Listening!
