Right, it looks their business model is actually 1) Becoming the world's leading expert on a topic 2) Share and spread that knowledge, until you have publicly cemented your place as an expert 3) Start charging for services that require usage of your expertise

OP here. A pretty fair model if you ask me! I think generally we move more towards that model as the internet progresses To me, before starting this, it looked like all the ones who made a noticable bump did it this way. It's why we hate Instagram gurus, I'd say

  could you write a post on how exactly you became so knowledgeable in telling fakes from authentic items? I wouldn't know where to even start... what happens when you get a request for an item that you've never seen before?

Sure! Copying below from another answer Honestly I just 'hamstered' all the material I could on the most popular items. In the beginning, in those first 10 guides I mention in the article, I just curated all the splintered bits of info* from the internet into one mega-guide, and added what I found after analysing fakes * bits of info from as little as a forum thread comment, lost on page 48, to a full-blown attmept at a guide that, to me, wasn't exhaustive enough In time, it refined to partly what I did in the beginning, and partly our own research which got better with exercise Package all that info in a free, properly formatted guide (with some imperfect English, I admit, as we're not natives), and that gives us the traffic figures I screenshot'd

Looking at the link above each of the posts is so full of keywords, it's almost blogspam at that point. Reading their guide, for example, on Rolex is painful: https://legitcheck.app/guides/watches/rolex/genuine-vs-replica-rolex-submariner-126610/ https://legitcheck.app/guides/watches/rolex/genuine-vs-repli...
