How to Launch Money-Making Directories Now That the $20 Trillion EU Market Just Opened to the U.S.
(Use this moment to print leads, backlinks, and B2B dollars on autopilot)
📜 THE TRIGGER EVENT
President Trump just triggered the biggest trade arbitrage in modern U.S. history:
“The European Union is going to open its $20 Trillion market and completely accept our auto and industrial standards… In addition, it will purchase $750 BILLION in energy from us and invest $600 BILLION in America.”
Also:
- Zero tariffs on U.S. goods into the EU
- 15% tariff slapped on all EU goods entering the U.S.
This just flipped the entire import-export economy, and you don’t need a warehouse or capital to profit from it.
You just need a directory — and a simple tool like Directify to build it.
💡 WHAT’S A DIRECTORY?
A directory is just a website that lists things people are already searching for:
- Suppliers
- Resellers
- Agencies
- Freelancers
- Tools
- Courses
- Templates
You don’t need a product. You just organize everyone else’s, then charge to appear on your list, sell ads, or take a cut of the leads.
And with Directify, you can launch one in under an hour.
If you don’t want to build one from scratch, check out this directory in the US for SALE that is already generating revenue and have a steady stream of existing customers.
