New business

After 15 days, here is the review.

I got some issues with ads system : Adsense is still pending. Others rejected my website (Moneytyzer, Media.net, etc.). But PopAds accept.

I spend little money on SMM Panels. I am doubtful about the results. It's not very convincing at the moment.

I start ton share my content on Facebook group, on Twitter and on Instagram.

I get between 50 and 250 users by day on my website.

Because I am on holidays, I don't create a lot of new content, maybe two or three. But I took a lot of photos from where I'm to illustrate the website.

I check Search Console also : although some traffic come from a Facebook group (10 K members now - not my group), I noticed that some keywords began to be "spot" by Google. I got my first click from Google ! The website began to be a reference in this Facebook group : it's a travel group, dedicated to a specific place. Because of COVID, people need fresh news about rules. So, I inserted a block on the home page with rules, with a token displaying the date and the hour. I checked every if something has changed.

Facebook suggested me others groups in the same niche to join. I joined and when I go back to home (it sucks), I will scrape all questions and answers to create new content. It's interesting to notice people even make a search in Google : they come on Facebook group and always ask same questions. Moderators are fed up about lazy people, so they are glad that I made this website to provide answers. They can focus on their own business.

Even I spent money on bookmarks, social signal and SMM Panels, I'm still under €100 of expanse in total. I estimate I spent about 20 hours of work for the moment.

After nearly one month, we can make a little review.

Two observations :
- I translate with Chrome Inspector terms of Google Analytics;
- the peak activity that you will see is not natural : I use a traffic service for testing (before being accepted by PopAds and Google Adsense).

As you remember : I launch a website based on questions of a Facebook group. By day, I get almost 100 visits, sometimes more. The Facebook group counts around 10 100 members today.

Creating technically the website was easy. Creating first contents also and obtained real traffic, not so difficult as I expected.

My niche is travel and because of the pandemic, rules often change. So, I created a little block of announcements of rules and I included a token with the current date. The goal is to create a reflex : "hey, I need simple information, I go to this website". Unfortunately or fortunately, we still have to deal with COVID-19 for a while.

One of the most interesting points is the laziness of people : even answers are on Google, can be found by a single a query, people prefer to ask questions on this Facebook group.

But, my business is a seasonal business, which operates from March to October and focus only on Facebook groups will be a mistake. So, I worked on low competitor keywords. Of course, it takes some time, but I began to gain few visitors from Google search.


Why it takes almost two weeks ? Because I forget to check if sitemap was completed.

As I said, the most difficult moment was to find ads service that accept me.

For Adsense, it takes two weeks : I had to fill some papers, financial papers to be accepted, etc. I send a request to The Monetyzer and Media.net. They rejected me because I don't have enough traffic. But PopAds accepts me.



And finally ... Adsense accepts me also !

Of course, this is all very modest. But the goal is to create a passive income, based on an industry that changes very little, with a fairly loyal customer base. So it can only get bigger. I see it with another website : I don't make any update of content since ... long time, but I get 200 visitors per day because I created quality content, still relevant, in a tech niche.​

• Make a content planning : the goal is to publish something every day of the week (Monday -> Friday);
• Share it on social networks (I created a Twitter account and Instagram account);
• Work on backlinks.

Hello folks
Some updates of my new little online business.

Last week, I posted a new content from Monday to Friday. I intended to do the same this week, but it had problems to solve (see the thread "I hate bank").

How I work : I create an account on Ubersuggest, search the main keyword of my niche and extract all related keywords around the niche. Then, I create two spreadsheets :​

• One with all keywords : in this one, I filtered keywords, add a column with the category of contents, when it's created, the title, the link and the date;​
• One of which is my dashboard publishing.​

But, what I can say is that the mechanism starts to work.



As you remembered, except regular posts on a Facebook group, I worked on low competitor keywords only. For example, I created a post about traveling in September. I'm on the first result with this little post. I posted also on Twitter, but it doesn't generate a lot of clicks.

For PopAds, I'm at €0.54 only. I just wait to make the €5 and I deleted it. Some users complained, and it's not profitable for me.

I will also try to find a moment to post on TripAdvisor and others travel websites. My main takeaway at this point, is when you create a new website, you have to wait easily one month before it starts working by itself.

My big advantage : there are not enough resources in my language in the niche I'm. So, I can exploit laziness of people by providing information.

My expanse since the post of August : none.

Time : One afternoon the weekend before to create contents.

Thanks for reading ​

Any update on your journey? I've been thinking of using content from private Facebook groups. People post so much information that would be great content for a website.
