Hello everyone,

I have been a lurker on BHW for some time. I had some success back in the days, one of my websites had 3 Mio. visitors a year (mostly from Pinterest, it was a wallpaper-like website). However, as I started college, I had to sell all my websites (no time to maintain) ;(

Now I only have 1 semester and 10 credits to finish before I get my degree - and I think it's time for me to get back at it again.

My master plan

I want to start an authority website, the niche is going to be in the "nature" category. Why? Because I have a lot of experience with Pinterest and ranking images and it's really easy to get nice pictures for "nature" type articles.

As we all know, building an authority website takes a shitload of time and dedication. This is why it is going to be a super long run. This is what I am planning to do:
  • Before summer - I still have to study a lot in this period - I will publish two articles a week (one informative and one social media friendly) and I will also build some social signals and hopefully some followers (I will focus on Instagram and Pinterest, as I never got a lot of results from Facebook and Twitter before).
  • In the summer - Now that I have a shitload of free time, I will try to stick to 50 hour work week to test if I have what it takes to make it. With all the social signals I will have by that time, I can start some serious link building without worrying too much. I will try to double down on informative articles to get juicy traffic from Google.
  • Next semester - I will finish my 10 something credits that I need for my degree. This means I will have a lot of free time to add some quality content on the website.
  • Next year - I will start monetization of the website. Maybe some articles like "best products" with an affiliate link, or maybe I will start an e-commerce store with the brand, I will see ;) I don't plan on doing any monetization before next as I have some $$$$$ left in the bank.
What I have done so far
  • Bought an xxxxx.com brandable domain name and also hosting. I can't believe I actually found a 5 letter-.com-easy-to-remember domain name for 5$.
  • Made social media accounts and got some followers (Pinterest: 500, Instagram: 250, Facebook: 50 and Twitter: 5), most of it comes from automation as I don't have legitimate content now.
  • Made my first 3 social media friendly articles, about to finish my first informative article.
  • Got some Reddit juice.
  • I have approximately 30 visitors a day coming from social media (Reddit, Pinterest, and Instagram mostly).
Conclusion

The reason I started this journey on BHW is to motivate myself. This is why I will update every 1/2 weeks. I have all the ingredients, all I need is courage. Let's go, boys!
 
Good luck

Sounds like you are going to make money soon! Following this!

Is the word NATURE in your domain?
 
Good luck. Would you please share something about Pinterest ranking terms. Thanks

I took a 2-year contract for the domain, the first year was 5$. If you ask me how I managed to find a 5-word domain name for 5$, I don't know. Usually, they are sold for more. I guess I just got lucky it was not already taken...

I hope so, it is hard to make money online...

Not the word nature, but something close to nature. This is a brandable domain name.

I am far from being an expert in Pinterest marketing. The technique I use is the same I used to rank my wallpaper site on Pinterest 4 years ago, so I am not sure it will still work...

Let's say you have a blog that talks about space, you can go to Pexels or a similar site and download 20 space photos. Then publish these photos in a post like "most beautiful galaxy photos" or something similar.

What is nice about Pinterest is that the photo on your pin has to be related to your article, but not necessarily in your article... So, download 100 vertical photos of the galaxy from Pexels. Then publish these photos (maybe 15 a day) on your Pinterest account with a link to your blog post (as a rich pin), in this way everything is 100% legit and maybe you will get some traffic...
 
Good luck. I'm using Pinterest too, but today my biggest account was suspended. I'll start from zero now.

If I can give to you some tips, Pinterest looks send traffic/engagement only 5-10 days after you pin a image.

If I can ask you something, you publish all your images in the same moment or make this along the day?
