Well, First my name is Tarik, I'm 25years old. I make some money online trought different platform ( Instagram, eBay...) not too much why? I'm that person who when he faced problem after problem I quit and move to another thing

I was running arround 20 IG accounts with jarvee in the past I made a few box with this when I tried to scale my main account suspended, it was my fuel source so I stopped every thing. And moved to ebay dropshiping
With ebay I find it really difficult in the beginning but after a while I was able to make +1k sales in a month few days after my account get suspended and I'm sure I didn't do anythung against ebay laws. Tried many times to make stealth accounts but without any results. After that I thought that I can't make money from online and I tried to find a job worked +6 months library, but in my country salariés are too low 150$ the whole month 9am morning to 9pm, I felt like I'm not living my life, I felt like I'm making my boss's life better not mine. Then I decided to quit. its been a month now since I quit.
The reason that help me quit is that I feel like I want to make something valuable in my life. Something will make me happy, will make me live my life in peace.

So I decided to make I website.
Thinking that, no one has the power to delete your site, it's your property and you can write whatever you want without any problem.

What I did till now:
1. Bought hosting and domain name for a year
2. Instaled WordPress and theme
3. Setup the website and published it
4. Added the website and site map to GSC
5. Created so far 6 articles and published.

After all that
I really don't know anything about SEO so this journey is a learning journey.

What I learned till now
1 how to install WordPress and setup theme.
2 keyword research and I use semruch for that picking long tail keyword with low competition


Problem faced me
1. writing articles: English in not my first language, it's not even my second lol, so while writing you can't imagine the number of mistake I find with grammarly after finishing the article. But my English start improving.
2. As we know I quit everytime a hard problem faced me but this time I will not. (no results is one of the hard problem I can face) but I'll be desperate to make this real.


Why 500$ a month ?
To be honestly I want more but, since my father raised me with two brother with a monthly salary like that. If I show him that I can make money like him I'm sure that he will be proud of me. And also with that amount of money in my country I can live a simple life with a small family.

Goals to reach:
10 articles published (6/10)
25 articles published
50 articles published
100 article published ( in this stage I think I will start getting few visitors to my website).

First click
1 click a day
5 clicks a day
10 clicks 1 day
25 clicks a day
50 clicks a day
100 click a day


What I come to and hear about today is, something called Google sandbox anyone here can explain to me what this sandbox is? and how to avoid it?

Another thing. Anyone here use themify ultra theme builder, the word count plugins can't count the word's number of my articles. I want to track my words average. Any help with that?

planning to reach 10 articles published?
1 article every 2 days ( need to do a lot of research then try to put what I leant in words. Still take time for me)
So by the 28 January should reach 10 articles

I'm planning to speed up the process in the future just need to build the writing habit.

Good luck with your journey. I advise you to use social networks to promote your content, you will learn a lot (Reddit, Quora, Facebook and Instagram groups).

Yes I know that it's not easy and require a long time and effort and being smart too. I know that. And I didn't set a time for reaching the goal, but I'm considering that at least it need 1 year to start getting a decent traffic and visits to my website so I will give it that time and focus on learn more tips and tricks along the way.

Today's Update:

1 article published (+2200 words)
7 articles idea in my calender

Today I heard about research motors Bing and yahoo, so I decided to add my website to bing webmaster tools.
I import all things from GSC to Bing webmaster tools, after finishing a msg appears to me said that Bing is blocked from crawling your website because of the robots.txt file.
I speng an hour trying to find how to fix that but I didn't. Anyone can help with that!?

About that, I think they can't delete your site, but they can block it from showing on the results. Maybe I'm wrong you can correct me tho.
 
Did you read the robots.txt?

Look for:

User-agent: bingbot
Disallow: /

make it


User-agent: bingbot

This my website robots.txt

User-agent: *
Didallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Should I have to add the lines you show me?
And if I did that, I will see the results just after that?

It may take a bit of time to see the slightest result, so I hope you're never quitting.

Can I suggest something? Since you know other languages besides English (French and Arabic I believe), why don't you make versions of your site in these languages (if your niche/content is relevant to this audience)? Using any translation tool (not G) proofread and edit manually, add a subdomain for each of the given languages with all your articles.

This won't take much time or effort and would give you more chances to get organic visits and social media exposure..
 
I'm glad you started on a similar path as me.

I think it would be better to write in your own language. Benefits: higher quality, faster writing, less competition, easier ranking, easily accepted to adsense.

I wouldn't worry about bing and yahoo. Just focus on writing decent content and google will love you, the other search engines will follow.

About the sandbox: you can bypass it even with a new blog if you use zero comp keywords. You'd get a few visitors after a couple of days. But low and medium comp keywords need 3-5 months to rank.

Good luck and I hope you make daddy proud!
 
You can start driving traffic with social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest or Facebook. Learn how to generate traffic with Reddit, it is also a good source.
 
Hi tarik khoya....
as you can see im an old member here, and believe me this is the right path, seo is the past the present and the future for the simple reason is people will never stop ask questions and seek answers and infos...
I tried forex for years, programming (freelancing), designing, and when i first made my (arabic) website, i fall in love with it...
it takes time remember... you won't see any result soon but only after 6-8 month and that only for your first 3 articles and so on, so don't give up...
good luck 3chiri

Yes I'm planning to do that, but first I think I need to focus more on content will be better. But I will give it a try and sharing my articles to social media platforms. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well the niche I'm into, I don't think that it will work in Arabic language just I thought but we will not know until we try it. Now I'm focusing on creating content as much as I can.
maybe when I have a good number of articles and start getting some visitors then target audiences that use different languages than English.

Yes I'm glad too, you are one of person that inspire me to start this journey, cuz I'm really impressed by the results you got. And I'm hoping to get just the half of your results in this journey.

I think I'm on the right way

Till now I wrote 7 articles
And two of my articles are ranked on the first 100 results in Google

First articles ranked on 6 different keywords ( position between 65 and 85)

Second one ranked for the main keyword position 49

I don't know if those results are good or not
( can you evaluate my progress based on your point of view and experience you have)


About writing in my own language, I would love too but I don't have a clear view about monetizing I don't think that I will find a good affiliate program for that kind of audience.
