Niche Article Site
Write a small site of practical articles in one topic and apply for display ads once the articles are useful. Not a template that stamps out pages, and not a software-review site.

How it works, step by step
- Find one question people search (ChatGPT): Pick a question a person in the niche actually types, and that you can answer from sources you can check.
- Write the article (Claude): Answer the question in plain steps. Cut any line you cannot support. Do not spin the same article into ten URLs.
- Add one honest image (Canva): A simple image that matches the article. No fake before-and-after of a result you did not measure.
- Publish it on your site (Hostinger): Put it on a host you control. One article is enough to learn if the page makes sense.
- Apply for ads later (Google AdSense): Apply only after several original articles exist. Do not click your own ads or ask anyone else to.
What this can become
A ten-article site about keeping a balcony herb garden alive, with ads applied for only after the articles are up.
Who it suits
People who will check facts and who would rather publish one good article than twenty thin ones.
How to test it
Publish one article that answers a question you can check, on a simple host, and ask three people in that niche what it got wrong.
