I sat down with Frey Chu to talk about how he's building simple directory websites with AI and why they're still a great business opportunity. Frey shared how his first directory grew to 90,000 monthly visitors and made up to $3,000/month with very little ongoing work. We broke down how to find low-competition niches, build these websites using Claude Code, and monetize them through ads, leads, and subscriptions. He also shared his backlink strategy and walked me through real examples of directories getting thousands of visitors, showing there's still plenty of opportunity to make money with these simple websites.
