>make a website about the solar eclipse coming up in August
>put some advertisement on the website
>add amazon affiliate links for solar glasses
>a week goes by, only 33 views
>only 1 sale, I get $0.44 from amazon

I'm not even on the first 20 pages of a google search, the first page alone is full of other eclipse websites, and after that it's every news station's article about the eclipse. I'm literally crowded out by everyone else, so much for getting your voice heard on the internet.

>you need a reasonably obscure topic, or reasonable obscure take on a topic.

I chose a reasonably simple take on this topic. The big guys talk too much about all the scientific jargon. My site is meant to get the word out:

>there's a solar eclipse
>here's where and when
>don't forget solar glasses

>You can't compete with the big guys.

It sucks being the little guy, going to an average college, working hard at an average job, average wife, average life. All I think about is becoming a big guy. The starving wolf can only think about eating.


>>2822436
I did the whole thing by myself in a day, no Wordpress.


>>2822469
Wow, so much for a fair and unbiased platform. I guess it wasn't enough to sell advertisement, they just have to make money on both sides of the transaction.

>"hey kid, wanna get higher on the index?"

>>2822628
Just throw a picture of the dank solar glasses that you're selling on there, with a buy now button next to them.

When faggots enter your site it has to hit their face str8 away. They'll be tempted to click. Even if they don't buy the glasses, doesn't Amazon cuckflitiates give them a 30-day referral cookie and you get a percent regardless of what they buy?

lol, if they wait until the day before the eclipse, they will not get the solar glasses in time. Then they can choose between missing a once in a lifetime event or burning the retinas in their eyeballs

I'm a white, blond hair, blue eyed American who lived in china for 3 years. Becoming fluent in Chinese is easy when you're immersed.

>OP is collecting your delicious IPs as we speak

Unlike most people these days, I still hold myself to high standards. I do not give a crap about your internet protocol address. I only want to make commission from solar glasses sales and collect ad revenue.

>>2822615
I only want a small slice of the pie. This eclipse goes over the vast majority of America. If I can just sell 22,000 solar glasses, I should be able to get $10,000 in affiliate commission from amazon, that would put me through the next two semesters at college debt free.

I'm not even trying to scam people, I'm offering a useful service that I hope will improve peoples' lives in some way.

For reference, the website is seethering at the usual dot com.
The problem is, it's not a great website. Too many exclamation marks are off putting, and the overly simple enthusiastic sentences make you seem like a child or a scammer. The aspect ratio of all the images is way out of whack (the sun should be a circle, not a potato). Navigation is confusing, you've got to click through to each of six pointless pages individually to see maybe a paragraph of text total. It's not immediately obvious that those giant stretched images are links and they're hidden below your obnoxiously huge amazon links.
Also, seethering is a terrible name because you've got loads of google collision with the ring movie, to the dirty mind it sounds like anal porn, to the normie mind it sounds like a wedding planner website.
Basically, your site is amateurish (to be expected, you're an amateur) and you won't have any traffic until you basically do it again. This time, get an english major to write your text.

hey OP I feel your pain, my site >d3vur.com been around for over a 5 month and I did put at least month of hard work into it and all I got was minus -$150 by fucking google charging me for some stupid ass adds that I forgot to turn off.

LOL and I get about 15 sessions and 12 users per week,

>>
>>2823626
>Too many exclamation marks are off putting
would it be better to make them a period instead?

>the overly simple enthusiastic sentences make you seem like a child or a scammer

well I'm definitely not a scammer, guess I'm closer to being a child. Who am I kidding, nobody takes me serious in real life anyways.

All of the eclipse websites on the first page of google are full of scientific jargon, does the average person really care about all that? They just want to know where and when. That's what I had in mind when making the website but now it seems I went too far and made it too simple.

>aspect ratio of all the images is way out of whack (the sun should be a circle, not a potato)

What kind of device are you viewing the website on? laptop? phone? I thought I got the ratio aspect taken care of, but I see what you're talking about, it does look like a stupid potato. I'll fix this right now.

>to the dirty mind it sounds like anal porn

that would explain that one comment I got on Facebook when announcing my website. Other people were probably laughing at me too, now I feel like a fool.

>to the normie mind it sounds like a wedding planner website

when the moon completely covers the sun, you see a ring of light, hence see the ring. How hard is that for people to connect with in their pea brain head?

So this... is the power of enterpreneurship

>>2825073

in other words, make money by spreading poison. I refuse to do that.

Is it really that hard these days to make money by providing a product / service that is actually useful to people?


>>2825127

no, more like this is some 28 year old who's half way through college and desperate to pull himself up by his bootstraps and pay for college. I learned how to write a basic website online, I made this all by myself, put it online all on my own, all of this has been an army of one.

Get fucked you bint, have fun doing the same shit all those other idiots do without any economical value

You don't even understand the world you're living in
Sensationalism, look it up, it's a real thing

But hey let me know how you want to reinvent the wheel here
>>
>>2825864

Sensationalism: the use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement.

There's a difference between sensationalism and spreading lies and hatred.

I can provide economical value without inciting pointless fear and anger.

You gotta corrupt to make it senpai. Look at all the rich dudes. They all fucked at least someone over for their personal gain. When it comes to money you gotta leave your morals at the door otherwise you're not going anywhere. Not trying to be edgy, just being honest.

yes i really wonder why you arnet getting any sales.

First visiting your site I dont even know what the fuck you are selling. Everything is littered with dumb "business" shit. Who the fuck is that guy in the suit? WHat does he have to do with embroidery?

you should be booking rooms and hotels and rental cars for the areas the eclipse will go over. I hear Idaho Falls is expecting a half a million people which is a lot for a city of 75k
