I recently launched my first webapp. It helps people find BJJ seminars. Currently I have no users and no feasible way to get any. I made a post on reddit and got about 20 people to actually come on my site before the post was removed by the mods. I added SEO tags to my site but apparently it can take 4-12 months for my site to rank so I explored using Google Ads but discovered that my CPC would be $1.07 for my free website with no monetization so I would just be throwing money away. I learned through Google Keywords that 5,000 people search for "BJJ Seminars" a month and 500 search for "BJJ seminars near me" so I'm now thinking that a seminar finder is too niche. Let's say I unrealistically get a CTR of ~25% which probably wouldn't happen, that would equate to 1250 monthly views which is nothing in the sense of displaying ads to 1250 people would be only a couple of dollars.
I think that the seminar finder is something cool that I could add to my programming portfolio, but not something with a big enough interest that people actually need and would use on a daily basis.
Should I pivot and make something else or am I giving up too soon?
