AI Site Case Study

Hey everyone,

In this thread, I will be providing weekly updates on the progress of my new AI niche site for the new site challenge. This will provide a way for people to follow along a little closer.

Goals:
My main goal with this AI site is to build a brand that will stand the test of time in this industry. I have extensive knowledge and years of experience in this niche. This niche is incredibly competitive so it will be a marathon.

There is huge traffic potential not only from Google but from other sources which is important with the current landscape of search engines.

I will incorporate social media accounts, and a YouTube channel as well as build an email list.

Monetization Plans:
-Display Ads
-Affiliate (Amazon, Individual programs)
-Info products
-Email list

This niche works well with all of these monetization methods so I will incorporate them all into my website.

Where are we now?

-I will see which one performs the best and then focus on that tool moving forward for the majority of the content.
