How To Earn Passive Income With Rank and Rent SEO: A Detailed Step-By-Step Guide

I came across a beautiful passive income opportunity just last week while browsing the internet and so I decided to research further to get the full gist. The income stream is known as Rank and Rent SEO. After spending so many hours online digesting all the details of this system, it occurred to me that there might be other people online who might be eager to learn about how this business model works. So I decided to create this blog post to help ordinary people, like you and I, get answers quickly.

The straight-forward answer is that Rank and Rent SEO means ranking a website using Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) techniques and then renting out the website to businesses who are eager to get the leads from the website. So a business will be paying (like you pay for rental of a car or a house) to the owner of a website, regularly, to a website owner so the business can have access to the ready-made traffic or clicks that the google-ranked website is attracting due to their SEO efforts.

My answer to this Rank and Rent SEO question will be divided into nine (9) simple subheadings below in order to help you get the full view of this opportunity.

What is Rank and Rent SEO business model?

Rank and Rent is the special class of SEO technique whereby a marketing practitioner optimises a blog or niche website so that the site gets ranked high on google and other search engines thereby generating leads. The marketer will then rent the ranked site out to a local business that is in need of the leads being generated by the ranked website. The local business can be that of a mobile phone repairer, plumber, accountant or lawyer.

In order for you to fully appreciate this rank and SEO business model, you will need to know the four (4) components:

  • the local businessman or merchant,
  • the ranked website generating leads
  • the lead (or call) tracking software,
  • the marketing agency ranking & renting the site

Quite simply, a rank and rent SEO guy can be called a seller of leads to local business people.

  • You will have to shift the traffic to your chosen local business guy’s products or service

Best bits of Rank and Rent SEO

It is fairly scalable and transferable, has low running costs and initial setup costs are low. It is a very good business model as both the marketing agency and the merchant are happy with their parts of the bargain.

Pitfalls of Rank and Rent SEO

The major pitfall of this business model is that the chances of scaling it up big time is low as it’s mostly local in nature and applies mostly to merchants that sells services instead of goods. In other words, lucrative niches diminishes very quickly as times go by. On the other side of the equation, the merchants that rent the ranked SEO sites, cannot actually build any digital assets as they are paying recurring bills to use someone else’s digital property.

Rank and Rent SEO Costs

Online training companies for Rank and Rent SEO may charge about $800 and more, if you need ongoing support as well. One-to-one support and training definitely costs much higher.
Other major costs are that of buying domain names (about $15 per year) and web hosting ($8.95 per month) at Bluehost, a reputable hosting company. The price of email tracking software and bookkeeping packages vary widely depending on what you need.

Possible Alternatives to Rank and Rent SEO

A very common alternative is known as “Lead Gen” or Lead Generation. It is very similar but in Lead Gen, you sell off the generated leads by charging the merchants per lead. You can also do local SEO for the merchants’ website and charge them for your time. Other alternatives include E-commerce, Shopify, and Amazon FBA. There is also freelance alternatives in all these areas.

    Hey, Chris!  Thanks for taking the time to put this article together!  I’ve never heard of Rank and Rent SEO, so you have educated me quite nicely!  In fact, I’m very new to blogging and affiliate marketing and don’t fully understand SEO… yet.  However, you have helped me to better understand the need for it and why it is important. I do like what this program suggests, so when I’m far enough along, I’ll be coming back to this post!  Blessings!

    In theory it is a beautiful proposition but it is easier than done, we might as well do real continuous sources income through blogging and product reviews in general ways as the skills required are not that simple and the process and procedures are tedious and laborious, I would rather concentrate on making affiliate marketing and if by chance I still see this SEO and rental attractive that would be the time for me probably try this proposition as I would be much more skillful in navigating the ins and out of creating such website. As a member of Wealthy Affiliate, it is no brainer that  I would stay in this field before touching this kind of source of online income. However, this is a piece of beautiful information. It adds up on my knowledge of making money online. Thanks.
