Here I'll post what my general ideas are when it comes to growing and monetizing a brand new website. I am absolutely green when it comes to this so for those who have been there and done that, please do tell me where I am mistaken or flat out wrong about any of what I am about to post.

I have purchased a domain through SiteGround and installed WordPress on it. It will be a blog with a specific business slant.

As I see things currently, my focus is to post as much quality content as possible. That is the easy part for me. Content comes naturally. And I can write virtually non-stop because that's what I've been doing privately since 06.
That is my number one priority.

My second priority is to improve the look and functionality of the website. I will learn what I can when it comes to coding, but I'm not opposed to hiring someone to do it for me either.
After the website's look is more presentable, I'll focus on driving traffic through it by any means that I can.
As I get more traffic, I'll get more feedback on what topics people want to learn more about and I'll tailor the content to that.

With time and effort, I may create a product or e-course and sell it through the website.

So roughly the idea is:
Post content
Polish website
Scale website
Determine interest level
Sales

There will clearly be overlap between all of these. However, for anyone that has been there and done that, I'd appreciate your advice (brutal or not)!
