I embedded Open AI into my blog. Still struggling to produce traffic from content. Need help.

I'm struggling to get traffic to my site. I'm very limited on finances (around $100 every two weeks is all I can afford) so I've been using fiverr but the results are less than exciting.

I'm a software engineer most of my life, I like to code first before all else, so coming up with content to talk about it difficult.

I figured I would build in open ai into my blog, it works great. I type in a title, hit a button and it writes about my post in html and displays it on the right as it would appear on the screen, pretty neat. (really easy to do, I can show you)

But it's still not enough. I have a bunch of unfinished blog post now lol. I feel like I need to read, validate and rewrite the post so that they are accurate... I would hate to share incorrect information.

But it's so boring and hard to come up with this type of content for me. Have you had similar situations? How did you get past that?

I love my topics, but writing about it is only easy when it's my own personal experience but i'm trying to approach it as if it were a professional point of view, is there where I'm going about it wrong?

Perhaps people will appreciate my own words more? But what to do if I just can't muster posting?

I am really struggling right now, knowing what my users need because I can't get any to start with. I have like 10 users, yet none of them really use the site.

This has me concerned as maybe that is a clear sign my site is not offering the right things... but it's only 10 users... so who's to say that it's not useful for other users?

I think this has to be a hard part of just about everyone, I'm not about to give up. I'm a hard worker, I'm willing to put in the work. I just need some damn feedback.

Where do I invest my $200 a month? Ads? What ads service? Pay for blogs? Pay for back linking?

Would any of you be willing to backlink each other? Blog about each other or give each other feedback? What else should I be doing?

One last thing, how can I help you? Feel free to drop a link to your site if you want an opinion or feedback. I just ask you glance at my site and give me a 5 second first opinion.

    I met a guy at a recent blockchain conference in Barcelona. He showed me a new "crypto media outlet" that was launched a few months ago. And screens from similarweb traffic, showing that they hit 2 mln monthly visitors traffic in this short time without paid advertising. I asked him HOW they did it, and he said that they have quite a small editorial team, so they use AI tools for keywords research, writing, and then optimizing the written content for SEO.
    He didn't tell me what tools they use, but I'm still wondering if it was 100% true and if it's possible on a current stage of AI development

      That's amazing, just wish we had the answers. I've been paying for backlinks on fiverr. Had one claiming 20k for traffic over the course on a month so we'll see how that one goes.

        Ohh be careful with buying backlinks on Fiverr. I don't know how it works in detail, but when I wanted to do it some years ago for my previous startup, an SEO professional explained it can be very risky cause Google can grant you a penalty for using mass backlinks posting on poor quality resources

          Well I will definitely take your warning. I haven't afforded much on those so I'm not really too worried about it because it's only 2 blogs now that have my backlink. btw, thank you for responding to my post with your feedback.
