Like I said in the video…

Branding is important. Build a brand, not just a website. Through visuals, style, messaging. Start with whatever you are good at. Most of us use AI applications for writing articles with basic information, so it is important to have all of the other somehow *unique*. Have a simple-to-pronounce domain. My motto is – EDUCATE and ENTERTAIN.

Ask me anything!

I have just submitted the form with my details. To the win!

Recipes niche

I am so slow at publishing, but I am working on 2 more sites.
Just need to push more recipes out and post them on social media (Facebook only).

Recipes niche

206 articles

Just need to push out more recipes and get them indexed as fast as possible. Still using Google trends for what is trending and focusing on these recipes that people are searching right now.

What I forgot is say is, that I always tell to chatGPT to write me unusual information and facts, besides the common knowledge.

Hi there, can we create a website on other CMS than WordPress?

[Tonja Gasperlin]

Thats weird, cos I was sure I pressed the button : ) Ok, I just resubmitted, let me know if you got it.

[Tonja Gasperlin]

Sometimes I also promt:

‘Write in a more human sounding way ‘
Or ‘Give me more usual and unusual suggestions’

then I weed out what I like and what is too vague or repeats itself somewhere in the article.

[Tonja Gasperlin]

Every article it takes me around 45 min to 1h to make…
Researching, promting (chatgpt is usually sooo slow), and then editing in Ghost.org CMS, with manually writting excerpt and meta title + metadescription.
I don’t make a lot of corrections to the content itself. Would still say it is a lot of manual work.

I will try to find someone who knows my language and can help me generate more articles, because not enough time is still the biggest obstacle… After the contest Im gonna try to push Youtube ads with different short videos (my idea is with some unusual stock footages, that you would not expect from the recipe website and will address audiences problems, like not to know how to decide what to eat) and we will see how it goes from there 🙂

I think the success is more connected to keyword research and topical authorithy then anything else.

First month I did topical authorthy for bread and cookies section and these have a lot of views now. Then I started doing random recipes based what is treding from the past day on Google trends.

I have recipes in slovenian language, so all keywords by now have Keyword Difficulty Zero (by AHREFS).

I was using ChatGpt 3.5 for most of my articles and my strategy is:
1. Check Google Trends for trending keywords
2. Check Ahrefs keyword Explorer for any additional keywords under the main keyword amd try to include those inside the article
3. Almost every article has the same structure.
My promts are very basic:
A Write me a recipe for … in Slovenian language
B Write how to make the dish better
C Write what to serve with the dish
D Write nutrtional value of the dish
C Write history and fun facts about the dish ( if applicable).

So that the viewer gets additional value besides just the recipe.

Now I sm using ChatGpt 4, and I like it even better, because with some articles it is good that it browses the internet ( for examples ‘give me examples for the best awarded wines for homemade mulled wine).

I take free images from Wikimedia, only one per article. The most time it takes me to read everything and correct the grammar mistakes that ChatGPT makes.

Do you know how would I check if I have any returning visitors?
