Hello blackhatworlders, this is yet another journey from me.

After seeing suggestions here in BHW that it works, i decided to try creating a new blog in a non-English language as i have some free time these days.
This is purely experimental and i won't lose sleep if it doesn't work.

What i have done:
Purchased shared hosting (not investing on VPS for this journey)
Purchased local domain (non .com)
Setup WordPress
Installed GeneratePress and all needed plugins
Onboarded domain on GSC and Bing Webmasters
Created 'Contact us' 'Privacy policy' 'Cookie policy' pages
Published 8 posts already

Tools i will use for this journey:
Article outline: Gemini
Content generation: Claude
Image generations: ChatGPT, Gemini, Adobe firefly, Canva

Niche: Insurance
Categories: 4
Category 1: 140 topics
Category 2: 80 topics
Category 3: 80 topics
Category 4: 120 topics

Already did topic research and decided to organize my content under 4 categories. However, after i decided to write the content for the 1st topic, during topic research i found out that there are 7 other related topics/keywords that i can write about and create a topic cluster.
And that's exactly what i did, i created all 8 posts around the topic and had the all 7 new posts interlinking to the main/pillar post.
So i created 8 posts for only 1 topic under category 4. Of course this won't be the case for every topic but whenever i find related topics i will create topic clusters.
Goal is to publish as much content as possible.

Whats next:
Create About us page
Create a homepage (right now it's just my latest post)
Edit meta descriptions for categories/author/pages

Monetizing: I found a good insurance offer and applied to their affiliate program, hopefully i will get in as it fits the niche perfectly.
Goal: While i won't invest that much time on this journey, i am hoping to get to at least $500/month in affiliate earnings
 
What i have done:
Created About us page
Created a homepage with a header, categories and 9 recent posts, will edit again later
Edited meta descriptions for categories, pages and author. Also created new subcategories.
Submitted sitemap to GSC and Bing webmasters
Published 15 more posts bringing the total to 23 published posts

Whats next:
Continue publishing content until i cover the 420+ topics
Get Claude to generate longer and better content, right now all posts are coming to 1000-1100 words total and i don't really like the quality.
Reapply to the affiliate program with the new blog
