Hey everyone. I’m a content marketing human from the UK. Here’s my intro video: https://youtu.be/beePtAPxqMs

I am up for the challenge 💪

Hello everyone. My name is Ray Roman, and I’m excited to join the Build an SEO site with AI Content.
Here is my video.

Hey Spencer, just wanting some clarification about what qualifies as a new site.

I have domains that I’ve purchased and have added to my hosting service. I then install WordPress and they site dormant. No content. Empty site.

If no content or anything else is added until the 20th and thereafter would these still qualify?

I can send you the domain ahead of time for approval if necessary.

Thanks!

Whatsup!!!!

Let’s do this! I didn’t mention I’m from Youngstown, Ohio, USA.

Hey Guys, I am in for the challenge.. Looking forward to it

Hello fellow builders! I am excited to take part in this challenge as a sort of competitive motivation and case study. I am a Marketer and Web Developer and currently building my first SaaS product, GrailWriter.com, so this will be a great opportunity to dogfood my own product as they say. I also run a Slack Group for programmatic SEO builders to help each other learn at pSEOHackers.com. I have been following Spencer for quite some time and love how open he is sharing his Niche Sites and doing fun things like this contest to engage the community. Good luck to you all.

Hi Spencer, does the domain name have to be registered after 9/20/23 if we already own a new domain that has never been used?

Thank you,
Kyle

Let’s do it 💪

This seems really interesting, Spencer, and I’m thinking about getting involved. One question: What counts as AI-generated content? For instance, if the content is first outlined by a human, then written by an AI, does that disqualify it?

Can’t wait to start this challenge, I’ve been learning SEO over the past year and started building content generation tools using OpenAI so I am eager to test and learn my automated systems.

I have no idea where this will take me and to be honest will be both excited and surprised if I actually get any traffic! Good luck everyone.

I’m up for this challenge. I’ll win this challenge. Super excited!

Hey everyone. I’m Emmanuel Sunday and I’m in for the challenge! My intro video is below…don’t know if was clear enough cos of my accent. But that’s it. Any questions, I will be willing to answer them. Also, pardon my video quality, it’s my phone camera. Thanks!

I run a food blog and always wanted to start a 2nd website. I bought a brand new domain a long time ago but never started the 2nd website. Does that unused domain count? Or do I need to buy a new one for the challenge? Thank you!

Alrighty! Let’s go! I already feel like I’m busting a move having made this video with no prep!

I am excited to join this challenge…

So, is it going to be ok to buy links and traffic?

Hey there! I am super excited about this challenge. I’ve been on the freelance side of content creation for the past 7 years and I’m excited to get on the website-owner side of the game.

When are we supposed to start this challenge, can we start now? I am a bit lost with what is supposed to happen after we have done the video and posted in here?

Greetings, fellow adventurers of the written word!

With a pen in one hand and a calculator in the other, I’m on a mission to conquer the world of content creation like no other. They say creativity is king in this age of AI, and my royal quill is ready to reign supreme.

Hi Spencer, this sounds like a fantastic challenge.

Would you be open to a collaborative approach? I have a few blogging friends who are equally interested, but individually, we might struggle with time constraints.

We thought we could group our time and efforts together for one site. I just want to be completely transparent with you and everyone else. Thank you!

Hey there, I am Rajneesh. I am a part-time blogger.

Hi, I’m Victoria from Ontario, Canada. I’m excited to enter this contest to meet new people, learn new things, and hopefully win!

Hi everyone, I’m Diane from the UK. I’m excited to take part and see what a site can do with AI generated copy. best of luck!

Hi, I’m really excited to start this challenge and I’ll sort my video tomorrow. Are we allowed to link build etc? Also, I know the traffic has to be organic, but does that mean we can’t try and send any from social media? If we’re giving you access to view our GA, you’ll be able to see the source and maybe discount it?

Sorry if you’ve covered this and I just haven’t got it.

Hello everyone! Here’s my entry.

Oh my goodness, I am having a horrible time posting my video and am totally not tech savy at all…..

https://youtu.be/T26O-_OI5QY

I’m really just interested in following along in the background. No desire to make a video, but I will be working on a brand new site and following along. Do we have to officially enter?

Let’s do this!

Quick question. I have a domain that I registered a couple months ago. Can I use that URL. There isnt’a website up on the domain currently.

THanks,

Mike

Excited to take part in this! Thanks so much Spencer! I come with over 16 years of SEO experience and only recently started playing with AI for full content and am exciting to see what I can do in 6 months using both of these!

Here is my video (but I do have Covid so would rather not share this one too far): https://www.loom.com/share/fd0108ece24e43dbbea7cbac975f0645?sid=0d13b42a-c57f-4968-b4fd-f9d344bd95f5

I can do another intro video when I am feeling better if you need something more shareable – just did not want to miss out on the deadline!

Entry Video!

Hiya all,

My name is John and I’m a Web & SEO Specialist in Marshall, North Carolina. Looking forward to seeing how AI can grow my existing website! 🙂

Here is my entry video:

Entry Video. I tried this a few minutes ago but don’t see my post.

Video

Hello, Spencer.
Here’s my entry video. Sorry for the background noise.
Happy to be here.

Just wondering about something.

A website targeting a country like India with trending topics can get a lot more organic traffic as compared to a niche website targeting a US audience.

Don’t you think, there should be a rule that it should be US organic traffic so that it is an even playground for everyone? What are your views?

Here is my official entry video. Let’s make this happen.

While I read the instructions for signing up for the contests carefully, I basically failed in one part in that my video exceeded 2 minutes by 2 seconds. May the gods and God of heaven and earth, and Spencer, have mercy on my poor soul.

I apologize for my breathiness in the video, but as you’ll see, I’m suffering and learning from heart failure right now. You can watch the video by going to https://youtu.be/KGXZ_6rBVTA in your browser of choice or read the transcript that I pasted here:

My name is Tom Seest, and I reside atop a mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee, along with my wife, three of my four sons, roughly 30 cats, and roughly 25 chickens. My journey into website creation began prior to 9-11, while I was contributing to the Lambert St. Louis Airport Expansion project. Growing up on the plains of Illinois, I delved into various programming projects, much like Abraham Lincoln, who pursued programming as a side hustle.

When the COVID pandemic shook the world a few years ago, I saw an opportunity to immerse myself in website blogs and expand my knowledge of related processes. Over the past period, I’ve crafted more than 400 WordPress websites, engaged in configuration, and maintained blogs for several of them.

Presently, I grapple with a heart condition, having dealt with heart failure on and off since 2017. While my heart’s condition is gradually improving, I find myself spending more time in bed due to persistently elevated heart rates. These limitations prompted me to reimagine my work approach, harnessing my automation skills and venturing into the realm of AI.

These contests provide an avenue to document my progress and metrics for projects of this nature, as well as to offer guidance for others facing similar challenges. It also brings structure to a subject I’m relatively new to: organic website traffic generation.

Participating in contests, despite maintaining a full-time developer role and health setbacks, is a personal challenge. I doubt if I will win the prizes, but my proficiency in automation and AI serves as a strength.

Ultimately, my definition of winning transcends contest victories. Waking up each day on the green side of the dirt and continuing to learn and grow is the ultimate triumph. Competing alongside all of you enriches my experiences, reminding me that every day can be a victory. As they say, “Winners win,” and I aim to win each day.

In any case, I look forward to following and learning from each of you. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Here is my video. Let’s take this challenge & grow together.

Hello fellow community members!

Dear Spencer,
I have started a new niche website less than a month ago. The domain was registered on 24 of August. The content is pure AI. Would I be allowed to participate in the competition considering the fact that the domain is one month older?
Looking forward to your approval.

Hi Spencer and the Niche Pursuits Community!

My name is Sarah and I’ve been blogging for a while, and only just started using AI tools in the past year. I’m looking forward to creating a site – maybe many more – using AI. And I’m excited about the challenge!

I have a domain I bought a couple of years ago and only just started adding content on September 1st. It’s all AI-generated. If it’s cool to use that site, I’d like to do that. If not, I’ll start a new one for the challenge.

Thanks!
Sarah

Hi everyone! A few friends told me about this AI challenge, but we don’t really have the time and resources to do it alone. We decided to group together and make one site. (My friend Latoyia had asked Spencer on Facebook, and he said it was fine.) Best of luck to everyone!!!!

Also, sorry for my son in the background; my wife and I homeschool, so the kids are always just kind of hanging around lol 🙂

Thank you,
Troy De Ville

Hey! Bec from Melbourne, Australia here 😊 Have been wanting to try building my own sites for so long but shiny object syndrome certainly kicks in – plus being busy with the little ones doesn’t leave a lot of time 😅 think a challenge will be great to push me! Looking forward to seeing how everyone goes 👏👏

My name is Tim, and I hail from the great state of Kansas, I do, however, live in Texas. I didn’t know when I married my wife 36+ years ago that it was against the law to move out of the state with her, and I like her enough to stay here.
AI has been coming since, well the dawn of digital electronics. (Trust me, I was there.) The level of “I” in “AI” is amazing and I’m really looking forward to stretching the limits with it.
I bought my first internet marketing course a long time ago in a far away land. I have discovered that the knowledge is easy, action is the breaking point. If I don’t follow the instructions, this project will never make any money. I want the Nomad lifestyle, and I’m really excited for this nudge to hold me accountable and flip that procrastination into action.
Thanks Niche Pursuits and Spencer for giving me a reason for action.

My name is Darrin, I am a cross-country coach, a marketer, and a print shop owner in Florida. I am looking forward to the challenge.

Hey, I’m Becki from Spain – although you’ll hear in my accent that I’m originally from the UK. This challenge is the kick up the arse I need to do to start a niche site, and AI isn’t going away any time soon so this is the perfect opportunity to see what it can and can’t do.

I’m also looking forward to the networking and community side of the challenge. There’s a ton that I think we’re all going to learn from this.

Am I going to win? haha, not a chance. I’m coming in as the total underdog. I don’t have a team – it’s just me, not so much experience with AI, and limited time and resources compared to lots of people in the videos so far. I’ve already bagsied myself the site with the least growth – so at least the rest of you won’t be coming in last place 😉

On a serious note, I’m looking forward to getting started and seeing how far I can come in 6 months – I’m just in competition with myself.

Good luck everyone 🙂

Hello Spencer, I have a question. Should the majority of the traffic come from the USA? Is there a rule for that?

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

Can we report spam messages anywhere? Already have someone DMing trying to sell something 🙄

What prep is everyone else doing for this? This is what i’ve done so far!

1. Written 50+ article titles
2. Made a list of 10 relevant affiliate programmes
3. Setup instagram, tiktok anf facebook pages for my niche site
4. Made a SM content plan with post dates etc

Hi everyone! Here is my introduction video, looking forward to start the challenge!

Building in Public or in Private?

I honor both. I plan on building in Public as I’m here to try to help if needed. I already won in life.

Hi all, great to meet you – looking forward to this amazing journey we are embarking on together!!

So far, I have chosen my niche, a domain name (pending registration), and decided my strategy to get the most Google organic traffic will be content only. No social media, no videos, nothing. Only content. I am anxious to see how far this will take me in six months.

Hey guys,

I’m a niche website builder from El Salvador. I’m super excited about this challenge and can’t wait to see what we all create. Best of luck to everyone!

Nevermind, I just re-read the rules and it clearly states in Rule #1 I can’t use a pre-registered domain 🙂

I have a question about the registered domain. I have a domain that I used for my now defunct e-commerce biz. I’ve been wanting to build a niche site on the domain, and this seems like the perfect excuse to do so. The ecomm site was basically a thin one-product website with some landing pages. Would I be able to use this domain for this contest?

I’m especially interested to see what will happen with most of it being created with AI.

See you all around!

Hello!

My name is John Walker from Bowling Green, Kentucky. I’m excited to join the challenge with everyone and build something. This is a great period of time as our sites will have an opportunity to exist throughout the holiday season and winter when there’s typically more usage.

Aside from chasing blogs, I have been working at a company that manufacturers brake and safety components for trucks and heavy duty vehicles since 2007 working in Information Technology. In addition to my day job I also run a consulting company with an emphasis in Information Security and Web Design.

I have two kids (5 year old boy and 14 year old girl) so they keep me busy when i’m not at a computer supporting websites or creating AI 🙂 I also teach part time at a local university online.

PS – I did have some fun with the video playing with Microsoft ClipChamp 🙂

Good luck to everyone. Look forward to working with everyone!

Noticing language of “after 9/20″ in the rule and want to confirm we can all systems launch today, not starting tomorrow. It seems like registration may still be open? Are we waiting on an email/green light to go? I bought my domain and started content strategy but haven’t done anything more than that yet.

+2 on starting a Slack/Discord or something more organic for participant group chat

Y’all – not sure if there is an official group for this challenge other than the FB Group & this forum. Some of us mentioned having a Discord channel. I’ve created one “unofficial” just so we can all connect in realtime. Maybe Spencer will create one and we can all migrate there. And of course, admins please delete this post if it violates the group rules/norms. Sounds like we all have more questions and also a “want” to connect with one another.

https://discord.gg/NVbGSfEf – This is totally unofficial and apologies again if it’s against the forum rules.

Here’s my entry. I’m Bryan from Los Angeles and I’m excited about this challenge.

So, do we wait till Friday to launch it or can we launch it today? When and where do we disclose the domain to you? How do we add you to our search console? Will you be emailing us privately?

Hey guys! Doesn’t it happen like 90% of the time when you’re excited about something like the challenge and then the unthinkable happens? My camera on PC broke so I’m going to upload my video as stated in the “challenge rules” later. It’s the 20th so I guess I still have some hours.

Wish me luck

Check out my video:

I just brought a domain name that is a great name and I feel like this would be a great start.

Does the domain need to be purchased after the date? I have domains that were purchased this year that have never been used.

I didn’t decide until the last minute to enter, and now it has take 30 minutes to figure out YouTube Studio. Hopefully, this entry will be accepted. If not, good luck to everyone. I’ll be following the contest.

Hello Friends

Intro video 👇👇👇

Hi Spencer, this looks great.. unfortunately, I cannot participate in this journey since I don’t want to be on camera, but I would like to join this journey unofficially; I will post the results of my efforts for everyone to see. I already have a domain I purchased two months ago with only a handful of content and relatively one visit each month. I will try to bring this website to at least 100 visits per day in the next six months only with the AI content.

Hi Everyone! I’m looking forward to participating in this challenge.

Below is my video:

Good luck everyone!

I guess expired domains don’t qualify for this competition?

Hi Everyone,

Total newbie… here to learn and challenge myself!

Ferdie

Clarification question about rule #3:

“3. You must provide a short video update of you speaking into the camera each month for 6 months. This video should be 2 minutes or less in length.”

Since we are exploring AI and its adoption, will my AI-generated avatar be considered as me speaking into the camera?

Thanks!

Hi, I am quite excited about the contest. It doesn’t matter who the winner will be, the matter is I can overcome the barriers and obstacles from my path I could have faced later. Besides, this game will help me speed up to do my job. Can’t wait for the upcoming days how it goes! Let’s see what happens next. Cheers!
Taj.

That feeling when you find a perfect domain on Namecheap for $10, buy it, spend a day building it up, and then realize it was indexed on the Wayback Machine 2-4 years ago, so apparently it’s technically an expired domain. Ugh.

Oh no Natasha!!!

Hello to everyone

This HCU from google has so many sites seeing 50-80% drops in traffic. Trust this to happen when I’m about to start this challenge, it is a little demotivating. Any tips on how to ensure we comply with this update to ensure things start off on the right foot?

Hey everyone, my name is Steve, and I am going to be doing two sites for this contest. 1 new site and one existing site. I look forward to seeing what everyone does! https://youtu.be/w7fKROFfSVg?si=A4sug2YmzgWoYLqo

I’m in. Video.

@Spencer: Does the contes for building an AI website from scratch last from today 23 Sept until 23 March or does it officially count from 1th of Oct until 1st of April?
I’m basically interested in the last day of contest, when the winner will be announced.
I think it makes sense to start measuring from the 1st of Oct, so that people have about a week to set everything up.

Great to be here! LET”S GO!!! https://youtube.com/shorts/3YtJ0fSkqRc?si=zHkD-EOptCWHofKZ

I decided to take part in this challenge because I’m curious to see how AI technology works in niche site projects. Best of luck to all the everyone!

oh shit, im late

So apparently, I did this while I was on a small vacation, so I decided to add some vibe to my video, for no particular reason at all. Let’s gooooo!

I have just landed on a niche that has excellent search volume and low competition. Registering the domain tomorrow and setting up the site structure and content clusters.

Quick question, I was assuming the latest post will be showing at the top, Anyways is it too late for me to Apply?

Should I have submitted the url yet? I’ve been wrapped up in work and looking after my son with Covid and was delayed starting but want to make sure I don’t miss anything. Where’s the best place to check to make sure I’m not missing any news please? Thanks!
PS I saw the email about the YouTube event on Monday but not seen anything since?

Oct 7 update form and video JUST submitted (with ~30 minutes to spare, I believe). 😥

It should have been easy with so many numbers that start and end with 0. 😅

Hope everyone is doing well, wherever you are in the process!

I too similarly got my submission in at the last minute. 7 minutes to spare!

I work for an Amazon seller and had quite a Prime Day yesterday which took all of my attention, got to bed and realized I had to set the alarm clock early to wake up and get this taken care of hahah.

I thought the deadline was later today. Is it too late to update?
