My website is worth at least £30,000 per year.
Realistically, the figure’s much higher than that.
It started off as a blog in 2018. It was super basic, too — just a simple Wordpress site with a handful of stories about places to hike around Northern Ireland, where I’m from.
Then it started growing.
The journey
I kept writing. I invited guest bloggers to share their stories. Between my efforts and theirs, the site’s page count climbed steadily upwards.
A handful of articles soon became several hundred pages, many of which jumped to the first page on Google (because of how niche my website was, and is).
Towards the end of 2019, I invested in having a new website built. The free Wordpress site was replaced with a clean, magazine-style design, and those high-ranking posts were transferred over to it.
As of today, there are 335 articles on the website.
And because every single one of them has built-in advertising space, they can be monetised.
