Blog/Affiliate/SEO Method: Next Steps

I've spent a long time learning about marketing.
I think I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done in terms of funnels, trip wires... getting a sale. I've made exactly $12.98 from 2 sales over the past 5 or so years from these standard methods.

Nice

BHW has put me on a path to learning programming (python), I also just discovered ahrefs and how to find a niche for realzz.

.SO.

Imagine I have a few (micro) niches --- I think I know how to get all the keywords and how I can find a "gem" site to create something new and awesome. But, the next step is kinda hazy to me:
I assume I would start writing / hire writers to create 15+ keyword heavy articles full of affiliate links for my MNS.
Make it look pro and.. maybe get some social media pages.... but..... then what???
This whole next step of the process is like [none] to me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. There is so much useful info on this forum it's immense! However, I can't seem to put together a solid path to passive income using this blog/affiliate/seo method.

I only really just found out that getting referred domains/backlinks is one of the most important elements in getting your page ranked, but it requires human interaction. How can we automate and scale to multiple sites if we have to go round messaging all our competitors asking them to put our domain on their blog?
This question is just 1 of many right now..
Any thoughts are much appreciated and thanked in advance!

This post just blew my mind:

My brain is fried. How am I gonna learn all this!!!

Just start working on one. t'll probably blow up in your face the first time or two, but you'll actually learn what it's like.

Well after you got those 15 articles you could:

Either set and forget it, if it's a really tiny niche that could be enough.
Or if you would like to commit further with that website you could always buy links to give it a boost. No need to reach out and spend hours to get some guest posts if you don't want too.

I would also recommend to go with more content, depending on the niche. 50-70 articles is a nice goal to strive for. And while doing so, you might find yourself branching out and expanding your niche.
Either way, after 50-70 posts and a few months of waiting, it should be clear if you are going to make any money or are better of leaving for a better project (niche).

If your not making any cash, don't just dump the project. Sell it to recoup you cash. Take that cash and you new found knowledge and invest in a new project.

I wish you the best of luck.

Ah man that's really great advice!! Thank you.
There's loads of links for help writing articles in the BHW posts I put up above.. help with automating etc.
Is there a bot I can use to "crawl" google to find popular article subjects within said niche?

Well if you haven't checked https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/ I would suggest you start there. The reason I link Ubersuggest is because it's free, easy to understand and covers everything you "need" to know to get yourself of the ground.
You can track your site, explore other sites and find good keywords you want to base your article's around.

To find a "good" kw you search for something you want to write about. Find the best option with the highest amount of monthly searches, and lowest keyword difficulty.
After that you should have some options to chose from, now search them on Google and avoid any kws where authority sites have all key positions (like 1-3, you wont be able to compete with that)

That's the rough guide.
