Podcast 111: How Jon Haver Built an Amazon FBA and Affiliate Site Business That Shattered His $15k Per Month Income Goal

Three years ago I interviewed Jon Haver from AuthorityWebsiteIncome.com because he was doing some pretty interesting things with his websites.  Well, I’m excited to have him back on the Niche Pursuits Podcast because he continues to develop some great strategies for building amazing businesses.

If you are familiar with Jon and his site over AuthorityWebsiteIncome.com, you will know that he has been publishing monthly income reports for a few years now, with a goal of reaching $15,000 per month in net income from his business.  His plan all along has been to quit his job once he hits this income goal and has a specific amount of money in the bank.

Well, he revealed on a the Niche Pursuits Podcast for the very first time that he is quitting his job!  He has finally given notice to his employer and will be a full-time entrepreneur very soon.  Join me in giving a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Jon!

Also, during the interview he shared a brand new software business that he just launched.  The new software product is for Amazon sellers to help prevent hijackers from taking over their listings.  The new software is called Listing Eagle.
