Hey everyone!
I recently made a similar post and got great feedback, but I wanted to explain my niche specifically.
Background info:
I’m in the religious niche. I post verses, experiences, prayers and more.
The target audience is 20-35 year olds in the USA who are new or experienced in faith. This is also open and included to those who are seeking positivity and mental health support.
From this, I have built an audience on Instagram of 55.1k followers. I’m on all social media platforms. Social media is my highest traffic source (I’ve noticed my competitors are mainly getting their traffic from google search, so I saw opportunity here).
I receive about 5.1k monthly viewers to my website every month.
The only monetization is google ads and media.net. I make about $30 a month from this.
I used to sell bracelets (sourced from China) and clothing/canvas (print on demand) at an early stage in my growth. I struggled finding profit due to fees and advertising.
My questions:
Should I continue to just focus on growth and let the money come later?
Should I keep using google ads & media.net as monetization sources?
I see a competitor like crosswalk.com (a huge website) making 1,000,000 a year doing similar things, but they receive all their traffic organically through google search. Should I just aim to grow this big and not start a store?
If any of this is vague I’m happy to clarify further. I’m honestly just an eager entrepreneur who has spent over 40 hours a week for the past year while surviving on little to none.
I’m staying patient, but any and all suggestions help!
