    MARKETING 
    Back to the topic: Yes probably relying on free Google organic traffic and making money from display ads and affiliate marketing is not a good strategy anymore, I see that these sites are pivoting, they diversify their traffic sources and monetization. Diversifying traffic sources: they are...

    Google Is Killing Small Independent Sites (Commandment of Control)

    MARKETING 
    Yes but the overall traffic level from Facebook and Pinterest is much lower than the Google organic traffic, and it doesn't convert that well. On social media people are browsing their feeds, but on Google they search for very specific things such as "best air purifiers to buy under $200", and...

    What would be some good ways going about making an E-Commerce website?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    C++, Python etc. these are way overkill technologies, just use Shopify. How many sales do you have? It is very possible that no one will buy your products ever, so first validate the market demand, create a store in Shopify in 1 day and launch it.

    Looking to start dropshipping CBD products (UK)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Dropshipping on its own violates the CENTS commandments. If you look at businesses for sale, for example on Empire Flippers or FE International, you can't find many pure dropshipping businesses. Dropshipping is just a fraction of the total revenue in these businesses. So for example when you...
