I am 22, web and software engineer with a lot of expertise in IoT.
Been freelancing and working with various startups while doing side hustles since I was 17, so I thought of starting up my own online business for the 2nd time.
Recently I had been laid down from a company that monetizes job advertisements after I developed an enterprise crawler, a guided tool that crawls around 2M job schemas a day from 5K+ websites.
Business idea
The aforementioned startup dresses up with a blogging / social media side. So I thought, let me replicate the business, but by splitting it between jobs and newspaper and monetizing with ADSense.
I looked over domains, and found dailytopic.org for mere 7$.
What I have
At this point, I have the job scraping and processing automation done.
I also have an article rewriter that I made for another customer in the past, which I could also recycle and integrate it into this business.
Pretty much the 80% of the backend infrastructure that produces content is there. The reason I am not saying 100% is because it needs to be re-compiled in a cheaper-to-deploy version, since clients had big pockets and did not really care.
2. I am not an expert in SEO and Adsense for instance. I know there's constant issues if best practices are not followed.
3. A lot of work, which without being shared makes me demotivate. I love to work in teams, so I would appreciate someone that collaborates on the project.
How should I approach the business from here?

Challenges
1. I am currently not affording a lot to invest, probably a few thousands.2. I am not an expert in SEO and Adsense for instance. I know there's constant issues if best practices are not followed.
3. A lot of work, which without being shared makes me demotivate. I love to work in teams, so I would appreciate someone that collaborates on the project.
