[Challenge] 100% FREE Traffic Arbitrage

.gq is my favorite and reminds about GQ magazine.
If not using budget is one of the rules, I would still go for a paid hosting, but using a free trial/two-month credit, as it will give a better start
To speed up the social sharing process you can use SNAP plugin (if you going to use WP).

I thought the same thing about GQ haha
We as BHW members have a 7day free business account with HostWinds & I have like a $150 credit with them... but I didn't want to cheat haha Are you aware of a 2mo credit host? That would be super helpful
I will look at SNAP excited to see what it is.

I was trying to find a 2mo/free trial coupon with one of the hosts that also gives a free domain

They changed it for 1 month, though, it's still enough to make $10 and pay for the next, so it won't break the rules.

OMG yes, you're a pimp. I was just shopping their droplets for another project. WoomHost totally went ghost on me. They logged me out and password no longer works. When doing password recovery nothing hits my gmail. Their "24/7 Live Chat" button goes nowhere. Fishy. Thanks for the link! I was this close to using my own server which would probably entice me to use a premium domain.

Edit: They also display ads for Hostinger which is weird.

You see hostinger ads as you visited the site before ;)
 
Alright we're in! Wordpress is all setup and my Freenom URL is plugged up with an SSL!!! Below are the links for free $50 credit to host site. If you use aff link it will give me the credits to employ the use of a VPS to run NinjaBlaster. They should still have a free trial I can use. There are other FB Group scrapers/posters/bumpers as well. Some are even free SASS. Quick tip if you decide to follow along. You will need to console into your WP-Droplet and change the password. Enter "root" then the password they emailed you. Then, root will force you to change your password....... enter your emailed password again and then change password. Before moving forward, be sure to set the correct CNAMEs for your domain on Freenom. DO's CNAMES are NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM, NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM, NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM -- Also, idk if it's required but I also added my domain from the Digital Ocean (DO) Dashboard.

Moving forward with DO's console it will ask if you would like to pair with Let'sEncrypt to get an SSL this is very important that you do this. We will need it for the second website especially so that we can process payments on the site. If we run into problems there are other ways to accept payments by redirecting to a third party payfac Pay Now Button but it shouldn't come up.

However, something we need to think about is processing payments. We want access to funds right away... because if we work with say Stripe who has a beautiful inline Pay Now Button it will take 2 weeks to get the payment... which means we HAVE to close a sale in the first 2 weeks if we're going to pay for next month's hosting.

A way around this is to use PayPal Business. It will process payments in real time and they will send you a debit card where you can spend the money instantly. HOWEVER, we really need options on this. PayPal can be fickle, and by that I mean I owe them money lmaooooo long time ago forgive me. I do have an account with them so we will see if we run into road blocks.

We need to have an alternative instant payout payfac in mind if PayPal business does not work. Alternatively, if I get an aff credit I bet I could use it for next month's hosting bill--this would be much appreciated because Stripe's inline Pay Now button is simply gorgeous.. but NO PRESSURE it shells out credits [!] I do NOT get paid from it.

If you have questions please comment publicly so others can help you. If you PM for help I won't respond. Conversely if you would like to help do indeed PM me but again no pressure.

[Update #3]

I have finished the site ViralHumorHub, just need to add a few more articles. I have a very smooth setup where I can source and create an entire article page and all in less than 10-15min. I'll be able to share fresh new content as fast as I can find and share content on Facebook just browsing. I created a banner for my secondary site which will sell the product, a video course. I have already included these banners in the pages, done. I have created the intro video for my Make Money Online crash course and I have made the Crash Course Video itself already. Don't worry I'm not selling it BHW members are welcome to all of this information free. This is more like a case study than anything else. The info in the crash course isn't anything you guys don't already know anyway... It's for complete newbies and gives them a very condensed knowledge base to start with. Again, free to BHW though I doubt it contains anything you don't already know. It really is less of a guru kind of deal and definitely more of a condensed crash course......... Again, the scenario is we're piss poor and in danger of being homeless. In the course I do talk about how to do the research to create your own products so if you are following along, that will give you some ideas for tackling different niches. AGAIN, I'm in no way promoting or selling anything here no offers no coaching none of that--you can have access to this entire project. I have no reason to withhold anything.

I'm making a cup of coffee now. I'll begin marketing within the next 2hrs! Please don't cause any drama or anything guys... please, there's a lot of compromises being taken--I didn't design this AAA1 beautiful website so don't judge me. I was clear about the supposed conditions. Be chill. No reason to judge me on this project.

I'm beat. Everything's setup to start marketing tomorrow. Payfac has been setup with Stripe. We're on a 7-10 day payout on the first payment and then only 2 business days thereafter. My strategy is to sell the course for $10 bucks, close two sales, raise the price to $90 to beat the game and then reduce the price to $39 bucks and ride it out. Worst case scenario hosting gets paused until payment hits then pay it up. Plan B is to back up the site files. Night!

Yo! About to install GA (Google Analytics) on both sites so I can track everything. I'm going to run around the corner and grab some wings and beer haha then I'll come back and get started for the night. Still at about 8hrs of "manual" labor. In the future any automated processes will be documented for reference considering we're on a time frame here but they will not be included in "manual" hours of labor. I'll check in when all posts are loaded up to the FB page and I start marketing. I will start sharing to targeted groups (groups that show a history of sharing this type of content) manually. Then I will employ the use of social exchanges later this evening... and then since DO's Droplets allow me to create & destroy instances at will I essentially have unlimited NinjaBlaster free trials which is a software that does not take up many resources anyway. Check in soon!
 
For some reason i have a feeling that this going to work. U reminded me when i first started in IM with $0 hahaha
 
Thanks for the vote of confidence dude I'll definitely give it my best and stay patient with it. I would have been marketing already but I've been fussing around with adding a "Read More" button on my meta images that are used when the posts are shared to Facebook. Thought this would give me an edge on CTRs... Maybe a little less engagement but probably not considerably. Today's users are sharing pixelated gifs and everything else

Edit: Finishing the meta images then double checking everything, then I upload posts to Facebook and we're off!
 
Well, I've got a few more tech-tips to share... Then some CTR & Marketing tips... Then there's still the stuff I'm gonna do when I get a budget... Then, I even thought about changing things to a monthly subscription that people just sign up for and keep it on until they address it haha you know how it goes... and just uploading more helpful course-like videos and sharing them all here free. And just riding it out so there's a lot more to come I think
 
Updating Meta Images through Yoast's process of utilizing the post's Featured Image takes foreverrrrrr. It's like they're storing that crap at the nearest node and I have to wait for it to fire back lmaooo I clear cookies, incognido, different browsers, clear cache css js all that... Where the "Read More" button on the meta image is very important and the only way I can check my math is to wait for it to update it every time I change it and then go to share the post and see how FB sizes it in a post responsively. You'll see when I show you. I'll open everything up to everyone after the top level site gets 100 hits

Edit: I think there are certain things one could take from this even if it isn't successful... in the same niches and stuff... but don't miss the point. What I truly aspire to do is to hype you all up no matter what your level is. We get a lot of flak as Digital Marketers... but remember I'm a business strategist in general... I would rather compete in a local market ANYDAY. Ranking locally is easier everything is easier man. I explain it like this "Imagine everyone on Earth who has an Internet connection and put them on a rock much much much smaller than Earth.". The markets we compete in are dense dense dense and nothing nor none of us are forgiving. This is the harshest, most deceitful, most vicious plane of commerce that exists. So keep your spirits up, stay positive and support each other. 90% of the Planet won't even consider "Making Money Online" so

Edit Edit: Could it be some kind of embedded CDN type of factor Yoast has that's causing the refresh of meta images to take so long?

I think I found a workaround. Actually change the meta title in Yoast. Update it, clear cache css & js, then change it back and update that then clear.... smh I'm pissed hahaha
 
I'm sorry but when u say ranking locally u mean ranking in a country or state?

No that would be the exact opposite. Ranking locally means like if you are an auto-detailer in let's say Cincinnati... You and all your competitors know people are not going to drive 100 miles to get their cars detailed. So you and all the auto-detailers in Cincinnati are the ones competing for SEO/Adwords keywords in your local zip-codes/areas. An auto-detailer in California is not bidding on keywords in Cincinnati and therefore is not contributing to the drive of the price. BUT, in my post specifically locally means all of the digital world vs. the grassroots world--because remember I'm a business strategist. So if a local brick and mortar business wants to increase sales by 15% and already Word of Mouth, Billboards, and idk Fliers contribute to 90% of sales we'll go improve those "grassroots" campaigns, because a few tweaks to each campaign can change it by hundreds of percents. Which has a major impact in this hypothetical case because each of those channels already possess so much cash flow. We would not go out and spend $10K per month starting to calibrate local Adwords and $5K per month trying to outrank local competitors who have already spent so much on the authority with Google they possess. National Adwords campaigns are more competitive than local Adwords campaigns (generally speaking; because nationally you have more people competing for those keywords driving up the price) which is more competitive than local Grassroots/Brick & Mortar markets. I was stating I would rather compete in Billboards than compete in National SEO. I can out smart our competitors Billboards.......... I'll have a much more difficult time competing with everyone nationally for the same "keywords"
