[Journey] AI Blogging Niche site to $100/month

Motivation for this Journey.
So I was shopping one day and noticed that I had to carefully choose what I buy so i dont overspend and that got me thinking about earning online. I told myself that I need to attain financial freedom so I started looking at BHW journeys and BOOM I came across @GVald's journey and it inspired the shit out of me.

I do have a job and it pays okay and I will continue this journey in my spare time. " I will, I must, I f***** Have to".
I also get lazy and start procrastinating so lets hope I keep up with this. So after years of lurking around on BHW, its time I take matters into my own hands ... or site rather and start to turn around my life for the better.

Goals:
earn a $100/ month passively.
expand this shit to more than 5 sites.

Costs:
-domain ( $10 /year)
- hosting ($5/month)
- AI tool ( coded something myself and makes use of GPT3)


The Site:
The domain was purchased back in late 2020 and I did start posting on it initially but lost motivation in Jan 2021 (I am continuing the same site). No surprises there, fast forward to this month and I come across @GVald's Journey. I read through all of it and thought lets give it a try, so together with the newly found motivation from https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/b...-to-passive-1k-month-already-started.1292705/ and some long due self realization, I started with the plan.

The PLAN:
I post twice or thrice in a day to my WordPress blog with 2 being the bare minimum. I have done KW research using SEMrush (Group Buy) and I think I have hit a small jackpot of keywords that have low KD and decent search Volume. I am interested in using Ahrefs but sadly I cant find them on any group Buy so far, Do let me know if Ahrefs is available anywhere. I have coded a tool to generate content from GPT 3 (think Jasper, article forge ...). So my generator gives me Articles (700-1100 words) which I edit and insert some nice images and add some magic touches and onto my site the article goes.

The site was already up and running just needed some updates and it was good to go.


Stats:

Posted: 13 articles (3 in this journey)


I have posted only 3 articles since I started this journey and have started to track their keywords just yesterday. One of my articles has entered the serps at position 89. so I am really pleased with my progress so far.


Feel free to ask me about the journey.
Cheers!

Yeah, those 13 posts include the 10 old ones as well and they were not lengthy so my average is low, but the recent 3 articles I wrote when I started this journey are more than 900 words each.

It's cool to see AI content journeys popping like crazy. Seems like B hatters milking the AI cow as much as they can.

Im also doing an AI website journey definitely following this. Good luck.

I'm sad coz I have 0 coding skills. Automating few things is my next goal.

And I think Semrush is good for what u are doing. Try to find keywords with user generated content on serp.

Let me know if you need any help finding good keywords. Im very happy to help.

Good luck again.

Good luck, will be following your journey. I was also doing the websites but without ai i was before doing with simple online spinner, and still website after years without anything uploaded...for years still bringing me 1-4$ per day. and ranked on 1 page for some competitive keywords. Now as i see that lots of people here doing the ai content i will also start you give me motivation for start. But i will be using expired articles as i not have knowledge for coding.

For ahrefs, i am also using the group buy, not sure if i can share the link check groupbuyseotools org , They have a alot of tools that can't be found elsewhere. Just a note, most of the tools are invisible and can be found just in their user panel when create account. ( what i do not like that need to install chrome extensions to be able to use those tools.) If i can help with some information, Please send me message and i would do my best to help.

Good luck

Also one suggestion, if you are using WordPress. Install social share post plugin, create facebook page or post in facebook groups, create reddit - niche subreddit or post in some larger reddit pages, also you can find 100-200 expired tumblr accounts with nice PA DA with easy scraping, all include in the social share post plugin, and when you post new content on website it will automatically do posts on all social accounts that you included and connected in the plugin. Plus you can find on fiverr for $5-$10 some sellers to approve your website to google news. That way you can pick up some very serious visitors if some of your content get picked up in google news feeds. Hope that this information will also help some other people who are doing Ai content.

i wish you good luck, I was making good money with my blogging method before, I can tell you that the only thing you need is to try increasing the number of additions to your articles and write articles considering that people should not be bored while reading good luck already

'So I was shopping one day and noticed that I had to carefully choose what I buy so i dont overspend and that got me thinking about earning online.' This sentence touched me a lot. My own life came to mind.

There is three option for that. One is to buy cheap services on fiverr or seoclerk there are sellers that offers those. The second option is to use Scrapebox and scrape few proxy to use them,and then to scrape with the (custom footprint site:tumblr.com) to find accounts that are expired,create list and import it in the second module in (Scrapebox Vanity Checker) to check if they are already taken or expired so you can re-activate them with any email address and start using them.( If possible when re-activating them to not use the same email address, but to use different email addresses on each account ) Create the list of those that are available, and import them in Third Module on (Scrapebox Page Authority Checker) where you can check the stats of that expired account how much is posted url-s from that account and that page PA, that how you can see if they are worth re-activating.
Third Option is to either make or hire programmer to make the software for that, but its probably not be cheap. So i think best solution is the second option with scrapebox.

Also you can check Any Page Authority Stats here for free... But there is limit with 3 url per checking. websiteseochecker.com/domain-authority-checker

I hope those information was helpful.

Good luck

Update 1
I got real busy with work after I started this journey so till now I have managed to post 6 more articles since the start of the journey. The words were more than 1200 for each of the 6 so my average words have come up to about 900. About 4 articles are not yet indexed.


I think for some reason a few of my posts haven't been indexed by google (rank math Plugin) so I manually add any posts I make now in GSC. Manual submission of URLs seems to go ahead just fine and google indexes the submitted ones in an hour or so (However there is this one post which has not been indexed till now by google and I have submitted it about 5 times or so). SEMrush picked up a few keywords from my site so it seems things are starting to move. I have also seen some shares of my posts to FB and a few visitors from FB have popped up as well. As far as the impressions are concerned, I am getting a few impressions daily but no clicks currently as shown on GSC below: (The big jump in impressions was caused by me as I was checking the indexed links of my website.)
I also would like some insights from members here, I also track my keywords using serposcope and I noticed all my rankings being dropped in the last few days. Can someone explain why this happened or share a similar scenario thanks.




Plan till Next Update
Keyword research for a few more articles
Try and Write 1 article per day
submit urls to GSC manually

Till the Next update

Blogging is very tough now, but stay motivated with your journey.

Good luck with the journey mate, I'm gonna look forward for updates!

I also use the rankmath index now plugin, but I do sumbit the links on GSC just to be sure
