Admin-Dashboards.com [6k/mo searches] goes Open-Source. Why?

Hello IHackers,

This short story explains how I promoted some free products in front of big companies like ColorLib, ThemeForest, and others at the same level using open-source products and content marketing.

• The niche I'm targeting: admin dashboards coded in different languages and frameworks (Bootstrap, Vue, React) with a 6k/mo searches
• Budget spent: less than $50 (for buying the domain and a cheap hosting plan)
• Time: 2/3 weeks to write and publish the content on different platforms

The results in Google:

• Kwd "react dashboards" 2.9k mo searches - position 1 - Dev.to Article
• Kwd "vue dashboard" 1k mo searches - position 1 - Dev.to Article
• Kwd "flask dashboard" - 0.7k mo searches position 1 - Dev.to Article
• Kwd "admin dashboards" - 6k mo searches position 4 - Dev.to Article and position 9 with Admin-Dashboards.com

The motivation:
If you are a freelancer or a small startup, and you have in your portfolio an admin dashboard product, trying to promote it and sell it, can be challenging without a serious budget. The first page in Google for the keyword “admin dashboards” is full of well-positioned companies like ColorLib, WrapBootstrap, and other companies at the same level.

The plan - to get Google’s attention, we need to pass this simple checklist:

• A fast, well-structured website
• Specific content
• No bulls**t or spam
• Good referrals

Implementation:

• The domain name admin-dashboards.com, match 100% the keyword we are targeting. And it was free.

• The speed. I was testing a few static website generators (Hugo, Gridsome, Jekkyl) but the winner was GatsbyJS. The result: the admin-dashboards.com scores more than 95 on Lighthouse. There is no login, registration, the entire app is plain HTML, that follows the best SEO, and usability practices.

• The content: the information for each product will be curated to provide only relevant information to the audience.

• The referrals: the associated Github repository was created to follow the domain signature:
  https://github.com/admin-dashboards.
  Also, the products, with a little bit of traction from the audience, will have a correspondent project on Github, on address:
  github.com/admin-dashboards/killer-dashboard
  Google loves this kind of content distribution and will rank the project better than others, because the information is consistent, across multiple domains.
