Welcome to the ultimate analysis of Matt Diggity for 2024.
I’ve spent thousands of hours watching successful business and SEO educators on YouTube. After all, I’ve got to get this article to rank on the Big G. 😂 And so, here you are…
Matt Diggity At A Glance
💡Full Name and Age
Matt Diggity from YouTube is 44 years old. Yes – he looks 10 years younger than he is, and is half-American and half-Japanese. I did hear on the Niche Website Builders podcast recently that ‘Diggity’ isn’t his real name, but it does sound cool! And so, I did some research…
Matt Diggity’s real name is Matt Elmore and he was born in January of 1979 in California. So no, he didn’t inherit his cool name.
Matt Diggity is a male, not a female. ‘Matt Diggity Sexiest Woman’ based based on a running joke within the SEO community based on a poll some years ago.
🤑 Net Worth
As he runs 5 SEO-based businesses, I estimate Matt Diggity to have a net worth of $2,700,000. He has also done several 6-figure website flips and owns 2 successful health-based websites.
In his SEO career, he’s sold around 40 to 50 websites. Even he has lost count of how many deals he’s done.
🤩 Income Streams
Matt Diggity makes most of his money from his authority websites and some money through selling courses and SEO affiliate programs.
🌍 Location
Matt Diggity lives with his beautiful wife and toddler in Chiang Mai, Thailand. During the annual ‘burning season’, they often head overseas or simply hang out in Bangkok to avoid the bad quality air.
✌️Common Praise
Matt approaches SEO with his own experience while cutting through the fluff.
❌ Notable Complaints
Matt gets some negative feedback for being another SEO course seller, but those trolls are fortunately few and far between.
🚀 The X-Factor
Matt has a ton of energy, keeps his videos short and simple and uses data (rather than guestimation) when evaluating his SEO outcomes.
📈 Creator Trends
Matt has put a ton of focus on his YouTube channel over the past 12 months and it’s certainly paid off. He’ll be at 100k subs real soon!
🕵🏻♂️ Private Life
He hasn’t talked much about Niniw TK, his Thai wife, other than he ranked her as ‘the hottest girl in Chiang Mai’.
He’s used this as a running joke he has used when speaking at some conferences. He’s definitely winning just as much in his private life. 😃
They have a daughter together.
Matt is big-time into youthfulness, clean eating, yoga and meditation.
👨🏻💻 My Verdict
Matt cuts through the fluff and delivers sensational content through his highly engaging YouTube content. Apart from Authority Hacker, nothing else comes close.
