No clue on how to help you there. There's always a way.
No clue, not even interested. What crypto sites make money from that?

I might be one of your follower because I want to start a crypto news site too.
How do you writers are covering the news fast ? Isn't that an issue ?
What is the usual price you pay per article on your website ? Do you think you lack content because you have only few writers ?
How did you chose your theme and webdesign ? Is that a Wordpress theme specialized for news ? Which one are you using ?
Congrats on your persistance and thank you so much for sharing !

The main thing,
I'm investing with no returns. No plans to earn in the immediate stages.
- No secret recipe for covering news fast. Just need people who will be active. The only way I know how to create original stories, Just watch diff social media profiles of brands
- I dont pay per article. Pay per month. And the rates I get are diff b/c my team works for me and earns 2-3 diff ways. So this project, they believe in my leadership before all.
- I made my own custom deisgn with a unique reason for how it's designed

Ive not. I have a goal of doing things 85% naturally + social media.
It's mainly 'free' to the users.. no cheats.... I just want to make it a well-known site first .

Congrats man, have you thought about doing some AI generated content ?
How long are your articles ? Since it's news I guess around 500 words top ?
- Oct 30, 2020

No, I want 0% AI generated content
500+ words each article
Working on making sure I generate 1 artcle that's on few to no other sites daily now. As in BREAKING A STORY DAILY. All the way unique headlines.

Another day, another record broken.
646 visitors yesterday!
It's not easy dong this but once I'm on Google news, I know i will go from being in the red to ROLLING IN THE GREEN!
And today's traffic should be far higher than yesterday. A popular group was discussing a post of ours, that most sites didnt pick up on. BANG! Exclusive content is the key.

Ive seen so many doubt whats possible of what was spoken about this project and what can be done with social media and I just laugh the mindset of the novatos.
NO PAID ADVERTISING SHALL BE DONE. Im all about quality news work, manually written and working my content around social media. It also helps to be such a long-time figure on the internet quietly as I have relationships that gain favors from big sites.
So BIG NEWS! Had the biggest day of traffic thus far ws November 14th. I had 3875 visitors from a story that went viral. Even YardBarker.com picked it up ... but i had to reach out to sites to get credit and it caused YB & those who got it syndicated, to take down my story. They didn't want the hassle of copyright infringement. The good side, I made a new contact at YB a site that does 5.5MM traffic monthly!
I have 2 articles 'heating up' today but not sure if they will be as viral. Would be nice but I kind of doubt it.

Traffic------------------
11/14/22 - NEW HIGH! 3875 users visited site
Low retention still but I feel great, just knowing the branding process is reaching nearly 10,000 people monthly
~6.3k visitors this month as a whole and this count will be doubling or tripling by end of month
Growth of ~4,175.5% compared to the 16 days before this month
Last Goals (checklist)
11.1) Reach 10 posts daily ... Still struggling but once I have the money, this will be sealed
11.2) Prepare interview questions for Crypto brand
11.3) Get 2 Sponsored posts for November
11.4)Get 3 CryptoNews.com back-link/mention
11.5)50 unique visitors daily avg (10 is past)
11.6) Get Twitter / Instagram content flowing(telegram is going well)
11.7) Begin planning on YouTube channel / Launch Username
Added Goals:
11.8) Get subreddit content posted daily
11.9) Create a Tumblr???? Hmmmmm....
11.10) Catch up on the unique artwork. I wasnt going to add images at all, at first but now I willl. Googles just not ready for an imageless news site. All of the imges blog site uses are done in-house. Custom. Vector.
Hopefully FTX doesnt kill my plans to earn but............... it def put a damper on how looked at the value of crypto news .... but at the same time, ths will be the new banking so advertising rates will be high in the future. And once I have budget to make content expansion plans into traditionl credit/banking, i'll be set for life. If i get that far, I'm quitting everything else. Going to coach kids and my business.

what's your site?
Send me a link to review
And we actually had another article go even more viral the day after my last post. We can likely do 100k visitors this month alone. Without Google's total support just yet.
