AI Blog Case Study (0-$22,000+ Per Month in Under a Year with Mediavine)

I started a brand new blog in January 2023. Using heavily edited AI content, I grew this site from $0 to $22,000+ in monthly display ad income by December 2023. 👇

Great info, thanks! What Wordpress theme and Plugins are you using on the site that you spoke of?

Hi Casey, somehow I found your website and I have to say you did an amazing job. Looks good, but more importantly, it doesn't scream Ai all over the place. There are posts where I can kinda tell, but probably it is because I know it is Ai. Keep it up 👍

Thank you! Do you research an outline manually? Or you let Koala do that? 👍

Just coming here after Ricky from Income School mentioned your case study in his YT live this morning. So encouraging! I'd like to transition to using AI to write first drafts for my future blog posts as well. I've been blogging for 10 years and only saw real success after following Income School/Project 24 methods the last 3 years. Would you be willing to share any advice about editing AI drafts and making them more human? (Besides adding in personal stories/experiences.)

Awesome video & thanks for sharing! I first heard about this on the niche podcast so I had to check out your videos 💁‍♀️💕😍

Any video where you have shown the keyword research strategy? Would appreciate :)

Hey, I heard about you from Ricky from P24 (it was a YT live stream on their channel), and thank you for sharing some insights from your journey! I am going to consider Koala. PS. Where is the excitement? I would be super excited 😀. Congrats again on your success!

thanks for posting such an amazing video. Very detailed yet concise. Thank you!😊

Thanks for sharing! Seeing the RPM was super helpful. I've got a blog with AI content with 1m monthly sessions I haven't monetized yet. Looks like I'm leaving a huge pile of money on the table!

Thanks for producing this video Casey, I know I have asked you a lot of questions in the FS forum and I appreciate your time and feedback!

Hey Casey, thank you so much for sharing, this was super insightful! I just started a recipes blog and it's a very competitive niche, do you have any tips & tricks on how can I make it a success?

[VenturaIT]

Did you say revenue share for blog content creation?

Great to see the case study working so well showcasing advantages of edited AI articles. Few questions though
1. Seems like traffic has been going lower towards the end of the year. Did it come back up? or is probably a temporary dip ?
2. Do you think EEAT signal matters more from the website homepage(physical address and phone number) or author bios?
3. Am I right to conclude that content on a branded named domain will work better than a generic named domain(both being niche specific names though)?

Thank you for this podcast - very insightful! Just wondering if you think it's worth building out a content piller in this way rather than starting from scratch? I'd quite like to add a relevant new niche to my existing site - and it will make it easier to ride on some of the traction I've seen already. Are there any disadvantages to doing this? Would love to hear your thoughts and look forward to the next video. Thanks!

Hey, Casey, congrats on your work in general and on this endeavor in particular! Well done, it's highly motivating! Did you by any chance use one of these SEO optimization/helper tools such as Surfer? Thanks.

[cinemarevisit]

This was great! Thanks for bringing this eye opening Case study on YouTube! I have a question, did you do SEO/Keyword research for all the articles? I am asking cos you mentioned that articles were ranking for a "long tail keyword." That would have taken a lot of time!

[disturbingthepeas]

I’m a bit confused on the topic of topical authority. It’s often suggested that we niche down to become an authority in a specific space but I guess my question is that when we do niche down, how far exactly should we be niching down? For example, if I wanted to create a blog about protein powder, which is already a sub niche within the fitness supplement space, would I then need to niche down even further to whey protein to gain that authority? The reason I’m a bit confused is because at this point I feel I’d now be going after a micro niche instead of a sub niche and I wouldn’t want to unnecessarily limit myself just for the sake of niching down.

Hey Casey, Thanks for the great Case Study. Can I ask for your seed content, (1) what sort of content did you post - was it broad content on the niche or did you focus on a particular area? (2) was it quality content (3) what number of articles did you do? (4) what was the seed timeframe (sorry if I missed that!). Just interested to get a feel for the extent of the content required.

[lukemounthill]

Thanks for the video it's motivating! I'm confused I have a few questions.
1. Other than adding pictures, infographics, what else did you edit/add to the initial AI article?
2. Did you make silo structures? How many categories?
3. On my homepage I showcase my main product(instrumentals), testimonials, features, benefits, price etc. But I also want to make a separate page for the same product but I wanna include more details on that page(more features, more detailed pricing, more benefits etc), and it will be my main money page and I want to create a whole silo around it so it ranks (make supporting articles which will all link to that main page). How can I do that do avoid keyword cannibalization? I've been trying to figure it out for a while, the answer may be very simple but I can't find a solution.
Appreciate the help.
