Road To Niche Empire - Project Mentolinho

Hey fellas,

I'm back.

After spending tons of time off the forum, I'm finally back with another journey I promised to make.

I've bought a couple of expired domains for the first time in my life, and I'll test out my SEO skills again to see if I can massively grow these sites. The big advantage that I have right now than before is high knowledge and experience, and, since I've sold my main site, some shmoney that I can afford to invest.

I've hired 3 editors that'll help me edit the text, add images, do internal linking, and some other on-page SEO stuff. I'm still training them so we haven't started with the work yet, but I believe that this week it'll all be ready. Since I've been in the game for some time now, I already got connections that'll provide me some high-quality writers for these websites.

I'll be working in 3 different niches, some of which I've never worked before.

1. Gaming
2. Lifestyle
3. Fitness

I won't be purchasing any backlinks for these websites this time. While I do know that backlinks are extremely useful and in most cases necessary, this time I'll try to rely only on my keyword research abilities where I'll only target super low competition keywords.

It's midnight and I'm extremely exhausted from the cold I caught 2 days ago, which is why I'll keep this "introductionary" post this short. Expect more details soon.


Let's get this bread again.

Good luck with your journey, keep us updated.

Following!

Good idea. Looking forward for your updates. Good Luck

Small updates

Fitness

My new fitness site, which was made around ten days ago, is slowly & nicely getting indexed, and the impressions are starting to appear. So things are going well, at least for now!

Gaming


The gaming site is also coming along nicely. I've published around 300 articles, with 200 published in the last 30 days.

I still didn't catch the time to make the 3rd website. I've been really busy with some offline shit.


More to come soon.

Small Update

Hey guys,

I hope all of you are doing well with the latest Google updates and the new AI world.

I've been passionately working on the sites, and I have some positive news to share with you guys.


The fitness site is going very nicely. As you can see from the bump in the graph, the site ended up on Google Discover. Unfortunately, it did not last that long, but I don't mind because that's a small sign from Google which is telling me that the big G is loving my site. I'll continue to do what I'm doing right now as it seems I'm on the right track.


Next up, we have my new gaming site. As a passionate gamer, this is the site I'm most passionate about. I'm publishing between 3 and 4 articles per day, and I'll continue to do so. Traffic is 75% from the USA, which is fucking amazing. I just hope that it will continue and stay on track.

Other updates

I've started 2 other sites. I've assigned 1 editor per 2 websites and we're publishing 3-4 articles per day on each site. Each article is heavily edited, interlinked, and visually attractive thanks to highly related images. I feel like I'm just at the beginning. I still have to sort some things out and adapt, but I like where this is going.

I'm thinking about buying a super nice in a niche I've never worked before. The traffic and earnings are stable, and the price is okay-ish. The asking price is $19K, but I'll try to negotiate it down to $16K. I don't know if that will be possible, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

That's it from this update, cheers!

How are you monetizing these websites? Would also like to see how you're driving traffic.

I'm not monetizing them for now. I'm waiting to reach 30K so I can get them on Adthrive (Raptive).

Traffic is organic, from Google.

Thanks a lot!

Small update

I've managed to negotiate the price of the website I was interested in from the original $20,000 to $16,000. I've ended up buying the site, and I've just finished the migration of the site today! Guess I have a new website in my portfolio now

Following and good luck

Be careful with that fitness project, it won’t be easy, this Google’s E-A-T shit ain’t a joke.

May I ask which niche site you bought? Are you using ai articles

Nice progress following

The fitness site is slowly starting to take off. I hope it will continue like this. This is the first time that it reached 4€ in one day from Adsense. I'll keep it on Adsense until I reach 50K and then I'll try to apply to Mediavine.
