In 2007, the author invested $2447 in a website buying and selling course, sparking interest in creating a website focused on bridesmaids and wedding planning. Initially, it earned $1 daily and gradually increased to $100 monthly, covering the cost of membership to an Internet marketing group. Over two years, the site generated over $600 monthly, with organic traffic exceeding 18,000 visitors per month. The author recognized the potential for greater monetization by targeting the site's demographic—young women interested in fashion and beauty—suggesting CPA (Cost Per Action) offers rather than relying on AdSense, which they referred to as "the poor man's monetization method." Despite the success, the author struggled with maintaining the site and expressed interest in starting a blog targeting a male audience.
The decision was made to sell the site, which had been used to practice SEO skills. The sale included various accounts related to article and social media marketing, except the Ezinearticles account due to its use across multiple projects. The website was built on WordPress 3.0 with numerous plugins. Revenue fluctuations were noted, with lower income in winter due to the seasonal nature of weddings and currency exchange rate variations. The author emphasized the potential for success by building an email list from the site's significant traffic. The organic traffic primarily came through Google, supported by article marketing and social bookmarking. The sale was a result of the author's acknowledgment of the site's potential beyond their current efforts.
