    Going from software developer to creating niche websites based on content

    EXECUTION 
    Progress for the last 7 days I think we started on the left foot here since we targeted keywords that were still high in competitiveness. Going forward we will only target very low competition kw with information intent and place display ads I'm thinking that another good thing to do is to...

    Convincing my parents otherwise

    INTRO 
    I saw one of my cousins go through something similar. Don't make rash decisions without having a plan. Money dries up fast and I assume you don't have any marketable skills to start. Keep with education and start a business on the side. Stop education when that becomes lucrative.

    Going from software developer to creating niche websites based on content

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, you're right on that one but we can't to make it more dynamic and let people (and us) add software products to be reviewed Considering the move would take 10 days, it's a worth investment for the gains on performance and optimisations

    Going from software developer to creating niche websites based on content

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Not many more views this week The site loading is very slow and I will migrate from Wordpress to Sanity.io with Next.js since I am confortable with the technology and the performance is better. We currently have 8 published articles with 1 of them updated last week for readability...

    Going from software developer to creating niche websites based on content

    EXECUTION 
    Update 1: We had a big wave when google indexed 2 of our articles. We were still on the 3rd search pages but this is still progress. I'm thinking I can contact software companies to do technical blogs for them since you need extra qualifications for that. Meanwhile, we will write about email...

    EXECUTION 
    I'll keep this one short. I'm currently employed as a software engineer and I'm working in my free time on content websites trying to make money from ads and affiliate links. Since I'm in a low income country, I employed my sister in law to write articles for me. I do keyword research, update...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Indeed. I'm very good at building saas products but this was an issue when I tried a software development agency because I focused way too much on fulfillment and using the best tech which proved to make no difference for the end client Also in software development, big contracts can take...

    Thank you for sharing. Great story here. I can spend mostly 10k$ but I can invest more time into making it scale. But this story is very encouraging. The first business bought, had 70% ROI in the first year - that seems like a very good deal
