How to turn websites into a business?

Greetings folks, I'm new in this racket, I got inspiration from reading the newsletters so I downloaded Wordpress , I've already bought ELEMENTOR $9.99 monthly billed and have already played around with tutorials putting into practice the blockweb design art for non coders. Now that I can create somewhat nice looking pages, and that I was enticed to doing this because of the monetization that can be done, based on the journeys I've read in here, I would like to know what recommendations you can give me folks.

I have many ideas, like since Im a sports gambler, I have the wet dream of writting daily picks and recommendations on the soccer matches of Latin America. Also like writting a dumb kind of bait site of top 10s , top ten pornstars of latam, top 10 tequilas , top 10 , etc.

But what's the process to obtain the money and the traffic? SEO, ADSENSE ? ANYTHING ELSE ????
I WANNA DO BLACKHAT, I GOT MONEY , WOULD LOVE TO BUY SHORTCUTS , IS IT GOOD TO BUY ME A FILIPINO ON UPWORK TO DO THE JOB ?

Thanks in advance for your kind responses and wise advise.
Looking forward to be enlighted on this niche.

Take it slowly, as the process to rank is really slow for new site

I'm not an SEO expert, but as @Moschoutis said, ranking new sites is hard. But you mentioned that you have money, your best course of action is to get an expired domain with good SEO metrics and then use it.

Search for threads on how to analyze expired domains so you don't buy a shitty one.

Good luck.

stop spending money without knowing for sure you're going to make it back. i've spent so much money on random plugins, themes, php scripts, everything for the past 15 years, and I still haven't made a dime!

Sure, if I put a ton of time in and was committed, I probably would have made SOMETHING.

Now I honestly can't even be bothered to mess around making a website- it's just so unbelievably boring and so 2003.

If you have money, and you want to make more? I'd suggest first watching the heck out for that sports gambling habit.

Hold onto your money and just learn everything you can without spending anything, don't hire an assistant learn the stuff yourself for a while.


Most important thing for coding, marketing, all this- probably just start something, and learn as you go while you solve the problems that arise. Good luck

I once earned money from Google Adsense about 1 year ago, and that went on for a full 6 months. I earned around $3000 in 3 months, until finally I was banned by Google for clicking on its own ads. and in the end I had to repeat the same methods and steps to be accepted back into the AdSense program.
