It all started with an idea i had for an instagram page. I started it, and while i was studying the competition i understood that yes, it was a nice idea for instagram, but it was way much better for a blog.
So i decided to do one thing: keep growing the instagram page and in the meantime starting to create the blog, so when it would be ready i'd already have an audience (from instagram) to redirect to it.
In the last 13 days i:
-Got a logo from fiverr
5$
-Designed a 'format' for my instagram posts (on Canva) 0$
-Bought 2 shoutouts for the instagram page 50$
-Bought 30days of instazood 10$
-Bought .com domain + hosting 10$ + 2$/month
-Bought competitor blog deep analysis from BHW marketplace 10$
-Bought first 3 articles (1000 words each) from a content writer here on BHW 50$

Blog will go live when:
- The IG page will have 10k followers (now at 2,3k)
- I will have a total of 20 articles (now 3, will probably have 10 by next week)

Plan:
-Buy some more shoutouts on Instagram, will spend as less as possible because my niche is a particular one and i dont know how much influence can ig pages have on it. Let's say
150$ MAX
-Buy 17 articles, around 200$
-Maybe buy a SEO package here on BHW, but I'm not sure at all ???


Monetizing:
Adsense, Amazon affiliate links in blog posts, maybe shoutout on the instagram page.

I'm doing this journey thread because i think that this section is the most useful of the entire forum, both for who reads and for who posts. Motivation, informations, help and tips are what you'll find here and what i hope to find too.
I know my niche REALLY well, and most important i enjoy 'working' in it, i also know it's a growing trend and i have a lot of hope in this project.
This will maybe take time, but i know most of you already understood that it's quite impossible (or really hard anyway) to see huge results without time and work, so i hope you will stick with me to be helped and also to help me.
I will probably update this often because i work on this every day (not full time though, I'm a college student), obviously, if i don't have any interesting updates i won't post.
LET'S GO!



 
I'm working on (very) similar projects atm, basic model being to build up a quality blog and direct traffic to it from my personal account as well as other Infotainment-kind accounts.

Give me a holler if you want to talk some. Best of luck :)
 
Good luck
following your journey
Good luck with your journey, keep the hard work :).
Thanks!

The ig account i'm growing it's not my personal, its the blog's instagram page. Did you already published the blog?

The blog is "live", so to speak, but no traffic. I'm racking up the articles as "Drafts" on Blogger and Wordpress, so that when I shift to a different project(s) in the upcoming weeks, growing the blog will almost have been automated - post one drafted article, make an Instagram post, done. Rinse and repeat every two days.

How are you growing your instagram? I'm using follow/unfollow (1000 follow a day, unfollow at 1000 following till 90-100 left) and shoutout sometimes.

I'm not running any automated campaign on my (personal) Insta account - it's all legitimate content about stuff that I'm passionate about. When I start growing my money accounts, I'll be running a campaign like that.
 
Good luck man , i'll be following your journey
i have a question about the host you are using can you please PM me their website if possible, 2$ is cheap to start with
thanks.

UPDATE #1
Received the first 3 articles, i'm happy with them and will probably order more from the same content writer.
Ordered 2 articles from another writer just to test different suppliers
2x1000 words 22$.
Instagram keeps going well but today something odd happened: my followings (Not followers lol) dropped down from 300 to 180 and i didnt have instazood on unfollow.
Im looking for pages to buy shoutout but its full of fake followers pages and its really hard to find a good one.
 
this might be a silly question but..
what is "competitor blog deep analysis from BHW marketplace"
why would you buy this?...
 
UPDATE
I bought a permanent shoutout (permanent because it was niche related) on a 450k page for $40 and in less then 24h i got +1200 followers, i think it's a good result.
Received the other 2 articles,not so good as i hoped but anyway i'm gonna buy 3 more from a different supplier this week.
 
Good luck OP. I'm following you and I hope it will be an interesting journey.

A suggestion about the colors - some people(like me) use the white version of BHW and it's hell to read when somebody writes in white.
