Introductions & Wins

Hello everyone. So I joined to hopefully get some advise on a few blogs I run. The long story short is that I had been earning really well from them for 10 years and they suddenly stopped getting traffic. At first it dropped by maybe 25% but then as another year or two went by, both saw a 75% decrease. At this point, I am guessing both have lost 90% of their traffic and I am not sure what to do. Without getting into the specifics of the channels I earned through on my blogs, both were bringing in around $3,200 a month in total. Now it is only $300 if I am lucky. I used a lot of this money to put into savings and for retirement planning as well as helped a local cat shelt…

I have been on the hunt for a community or forum to get some insight on what to do for my social accounts as well as a means to build up some traffic to my websites. I have a few of them but they follow the same niche. As it stands right now, my traffic is okay. I am averaging around 40k unique visits a month but I would like to double this by the end of the year. I am trying to see if my social media accounts can help boost this more for me but I need to grow those a bit more too. Anyways, I am hoping to get some advice on all this here and I am looking forward to meeting everyone :)

Hey everyone. I was looking around for a forum to join. I am working on a few different projects online, hoping to get some tips and direction so I am not wasting time. I have been working with a few AI platforms for my planning and everything is coming together. I just want to polish it all and make sure I start myself off for success. I am looking forward to talking with some new people and seeing what everyone else is working on.

I’ve been diving into tech, AI, and how people actually build things online...apps, marketing systems, content, all of it. Still in learning mode, but I enjoy breaking things down and figuring out how they work behind the scenes. Joined here to learn from others and see different perspectives.

I’m really interested in technology, AI, marketing, and how the digital world works in general. Right now I’m exploring different areas and trying to build a strong understanding, especially around computers, programming, and modern tools. I’m here to learn, share ideas, and connect with others. Excited to see what I can learn and contribute here.

My name is sophia, for a while I've been collecting ideas, saving articles, and telling myself, "I'll look into that later." Eventually I realized that learning only gets you so far unless you start talking to people who are actually doing things. So here I am. Looking forward to learning, exchanging ideas, and seeing where it all leads.

I’ve been exploring different online ideas, tools, and small projects for a while now, mostly learning through trial and observation. While going through discussions here, I found a lot of interesting perspectives. Looking forward to being part of the community and learning from others.

I’m already part of the forum and just getting more involved in the discussions now. Looking forward to learning and sharing ideas with you all, especially around AI and Marketing

I’ve spent quite a few years exploring different online spaces, observing how people build ideas, communities, and projects from scratch. Over time, I’ve tried a few things myself and learned mostly by doing and experimenting. What pulled me into this forum is the energy of people sharing real experiences and building something together. I’ve been reading around for a while, and it felt right to finally join the discussion.

Always found it interesting how a single conversation, article, or idea can send you in a completely different direction. Some of the most useful things I've learned came from unexpected places and from people sharing their real experiences.That's what brought me here. I enjoy learning, exchanging ideas, and seeing different perspectives. I've been browsing for a while and finally decided to stop lurking and introduce myself. Glad to be here, and I look forward to getting to know the community.

I have 3 websites. One of them is a forum and the other two are blogs. I have had all 3 for 10+ years at this point. The forum isn't very active but it has a few people that are on posting daily. Many people left over the last few years. I think they just moved on. Maybe they decided to stick with social media, idk. The two other ones that are blogs, they used to have great traffic. Between the three I was able to bring in a decent amount of money via Amazon Associates and and ad company that ran ads on all three sites. in 2019 I was making around $1,200 a month just from the ads, not including the money I got through Amazon (I mostly just put that into my account to buy …

I got interested in AI after seeing people online claim it could automate almost everything. At first I was skeptical, but curiosity got the better of me. I've spent the last year testing different AI tools for content, marketing, and research. Some have genuinely saved me time, while others created more work than they solved. I joined this forum to learn how people are actually using AI in the real world, beyond the hype and sales pitches

I actually stumbled into the online business world by accident. I was searching for a solution to one problem, which led to a blog, then a forum, then another idea, and before I knew it I was spending hours learning about websites, freelancing, and entrepreneurship. I've been in learning mode for a while now, and I figured it was finally time to join a community instead of sitting on the sidelines.

Glad to be here. I was actually a member on another forum that shut down a while back, and I've been looking for a good community ever since. After reading through some of the discussions here, it felt like the right place to settle in, learn something new, and connect with people on a similar journey.

Hello people. I have been looking around at different forums and joining them, hoping to get some help, tips, and make some new friends. I have several websites and social media accounts I manage and I would love to do something with them all that is profitable. I am just not sure where to start. That is why I joined! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. I will take a look around the forum and make some threads, hopefully get some feedback :)

Hey everyone. I figured it would be best to start here. So the short of the long of it is that I have a few different social media accounts that I have built up. My two biggest are on Instagram and X. My Instagram has just over 200k followers and my X account has roughly 450k. Both are sizable followings. I would like to figure out a way to earn money through them. I was told I should, I just don't know what to do. They are not tied to any site or anything. They are separate from my websites entirely actually. So I figured I would join here and get some tips and recommendations. Oh, my name is Simon by the way. LOL!

I’ve been experimenting with AI in my own workflows, mostly in marketing, content ideas, and small automations to save time. Some things have worked really well, others not so much, so I’m here to see how people are actually using it in real work, not just theory. Looking forward to learning and also sharing whatever I figure out along the way.

I've always been interested in why some content gets people's attention while other content gets ignored. That's what led me to marketing, audience growth, and more recently, AI. I'm here to learn, share ideas, and see how others are using new tools and strategies in the real world. Looking forward to being part of the discussions.

Rena here. I recently landed in this community after a forum I enjoyed being part of shut down.I spend a lot of time exploring marketing, audience growth, and the impact AI is having on how people create, promote, and scale projects online. I'm especially interested in testing ideas, analysing what drives engagement, and learning from real-world results. Looking forward to joining the conversations, exchanging ideas, and learning from everyone here.

My name is Clara, and I’m new here. I’m really glad to join this forum. I’ve been looking through some of the discussions and I really like the vibe here, so I felt it would be a great place to be part of. I’m interested in marketing and AI, and I’m here to learn new things, explore fresh ideas, and connect with like-minded people. Looking forward to being part of the community!

Hey guys. I liked the look of the forum and decided to join. I was on a few other ones but didn't exactly get much help or feedback so I kept looking around. Basically, I am wanting to learn how to better boost my social media accounts and my YouTube channel to become self-sustainable. I am tired of working my standard job and would love to earn from home and have my free time for my family. I know it is rare and hard to to, especially today, but I have seen YouTube channels blow up in recent years. Even ones heavily relying on AI! Anyone else have a YouTube channel here?

Hey guys, i'm jason, new to this forum, I want to get into AI, where do I start? Do I need to learn the basics of computer programming first??? I'm thoroughly lost, If someone could give me info and such it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Used to run a handful of websites full-time. Made a decent living off ad revenue then traffic took a hit a few years back and I've been figuring out the next move since. Not gonna pretend I've figured it all out. Still figuring it out honestly but I am back in game trying new things and it feels good to be building again. What's one win you've had recently?

Hi everyone. I just joined. I am coming over from another forum that got shut down a few months ago. I tried getting back into using Reddit and I just don't like it. I prefer forums. Anyways, I have been doing freelance work for about 10 years now. I also ran my one Etsy shop for awhile selling handmade items but that never amounted to anything substantial. I would like to get to a position where I can quit my 9 to 5 and put all my time and energy into my own projects online but I know it will take time.

Hi people. My name is TJ. I have several sites that I have been running and managing for close to 20 years now. I was making a good revenue stream from them thanks to ads but in the last 5 years, the traffic dropped and so did the revenue. I went from bringing in close to $8,000 monthly (from all sites combined) to not even getting $2,000. The drop happened suddenly and I have been doing everything I could to fix it. I ended up having to go back to office work in 2024 because I couldn't sustain my life on less than $2,000 a month. I want to get my websites earning revenue again like before but no matter what I have tried thus far, nothing is helping. I am joining the for…
