[From Scratch] Let's start a Blog!

netalgo122 · Jun 23, 2020

This journey is one of my first journey building a blog from scratch!

I'm teamed up with a great friend of mine, we both have a little knowledge about IM/Webmarketing.

We are both passionate about the fitness/health industry so here we go, let's give it a shot.

I'm grateful to be among talentful people like you guys and I hope I can get the best of it!

This thread will be my logbook, I'm not planning to update it everyday but atleast every time a major move happens!

To do:

Write 30 articles (1000-1500 words of content each) and plan them for a full month.
Buy a domain + host.
Do the website arborescence and start building it.
Choose a Wordpress theme.
SSL certificate.

How we plan to monetize the website:

AdSense
Affiliation
Subscriber page with subscription per month
Personalised programme (related to fitness)

Let's do it!

Why not put in 50% more time and get 100% of the money? It's so much easier to manage everything and the workload is not that much more.

What happens if your friend wants to quit after 1 month or can't work anymore? Do you do all work yourself and still split a 50/50? Do you stop all work until he's back, if ever? Do you rethink the partnership and do a 70/30? 80/20? Still not worth it since all the money will come after the first year.

I've done this kind of partnership before, wouldn't recommend it. Good luck!

If you’ll have funds I would recommend buying health site from @kasabian21 then use Affliate marketing plus video ad network don’t use adsense it’ll pay peanuts

Hi,

We split the work in two mostly, the same for the income, if one person stops, the income will be for the other person.
I do understand your reasoning though and we had a conversation about that!
We knew the website won't make us any money for the first six months or more so we just want to enjoy the venture for now

Unfortunately our content will be mostly in french. Competition appears to be much smaller!
Thanks for the tip too, I definitely keep that in mind.
