This was a personal project of mine that I built from zero to over 100k monthly visits with custom content strategy and link building. It was monetized through ad networks, which generated a nice four-figure passive income. Unfortunately, the website never survived the huge Google update that destroyed all niche websites and was sold for profit.
I published 3-5 blogs per week. I did comprehensive keyword research (tools, Quora, Reddit, etc.) to find low-competition keywords that I could rank for. I established a content calendar and stayed consistent. I hired two writers with subject expertise, so the content was high quality (No AI).
My link-building efforts were actually pretty low. I implemented two strategies: HARO and guest posting. That secured around 15 links in a couple of months, which was enough to get instant indexing, and all blogs were pushed to page 2 after publishing. The website also generated a lot of organic backlinks due to high-quality content.

Turned keyword research into great content calendar divided into content clusters. Consistently added new and trending topics to support the growth.

Hired two writers that had subject expertise so the content was top-notch quality. We didn't use any AI in our strategy.

Utilized HARO strategy to generate PR coverage and high authority backlinks and guest post outreach to support the link velocity.
