Background#

As a programmer, I naturally want to increase my passive income. Recently, a colleague told me that he had started a website with a daily traffic of 3,000 and a monthly advertising revenue of several hundred dollars. This prompted me to start thinking about many things.

Working essentially means exchanging our time for money, although we also constantly learn new skills in our work. But the basic principle is still that time is equivalent to money. If we want to increase our income, we can only do so by increasing our working hours or increasing the value of our time. However, these methods cannot escape the limitations of work itself. If we can find a passive income stream, can our lives become better?

So, I spent a weekend creating a promotional page, trying to create an affMan and start a passive income project. Here, I want to briefly share the whole process and the experience I gained.

What is affMan#

Here is a quote from someone else's description:

AFF stands for Affiliates, which means "to join" in Google Translate.

The role of AFFMAN is to help merchants promote products and earn profits from user consumption.

To put it more bluntly, it's an advertising person with a salary.

What is currently trending? It must be "chatGPT". Since the release of GPT, it has become the hottest trend on the Internet. Whether it's the supplier OpenAI, the "middleman," or the programmers on GitHub, as long as they encounter GPT, they can gain traffic. With traffic, there is naturally money. Pigs standing at the forefront of the trend can take off.

The most classic examples of making money from "chatGPT" are:

  1. Selling "hoes" directly, acting as a tool carrier.
  2. Selling secondary packaging services.
  3. Selling tutorials (cutting leeks).

More specific examples include the use of GPT-4, which requires opening the ChatGPT PLUS service. However, opening PLUS is not easy because it involves payment and other issues. Currently, opening PLUS requires the use of virtual credit cards and a series of operations. This makes opening PLUS a challenging task, but GPT-4 is a very useful tool. Many people want to open PLUS but don't know how. Therefore, a complete tutorial on how to open PLUS becomes the entry point for traffic.

In this example, the author promoted SMS cards, Ouyi, and dePay virtual credit cards through an article titled "How to Open GPT-4 PLUS" because these steps are necessary to open PLUS. Since domestic users cannot have US credit cards, they can only use these virtual credit cards. The author was able to successfully write an article to promote this issue. Can we also try it? Recently, OneKey has launched a competitor called "OneKey Card," which is introduced by a prestigious and powerful hardware wallet company. We can try using it to open the GPT-4 PLUS service.

Then, with a series of operations, our promotional page is ready: How to Open OneKey Card

Building a Static Page#

Because I had previously built my own blog site, Program and Romance, it was very quick to set up a simple static page this time.

  1. We used hugo as the static page generator, and the documentation itself was written in Markdown syntax. This syntax is widely supported and allows us to publish content on different platforms.
  2. We chose Vercel as the service provider, which can quickly deploy static pages and usually does not require payment for small users (as long as the daily traffic does not exceed a certain number of times).
  3. In order to make search engines work better, we spent $2 to purchase a related domain name, onekey.wiki. This can increase the likelihood of our content being indexed by search engines.

Starting from scratch to publish such a static page takes about three hours. Afterwards, to polish the content of the article and port it to my own static page, it took some more time. The whole process took up most of a Saturday. Of course, things don't always go smoothly.

Several problems occurred:

  1. Errors occurred when deploying, and the local and online versions were inconsistent.
  2. Slow access to the website in China. Later, it was found to be a CDN issue. Many CDN sources for static resources have problems in China, so they need to be replaced. Currently, I replaced them with Byte's CDN sources, and the speed is very fast.
  3. Issues with tracking points. It was later found that Google's tracking points were not added successfully.

When creating static pages in the future, everyone must pay attention to a few points: the source of CDN static resources must be stable and accessible both domestically and internationally. It is best to choose an image hosting service to reduce the load on the server.

Data Situation#

Creating a good page is just the first step. Getting users to register is what we care about the most.

The logic is as follows: first attract traffic, then attract users who meet the requirements to complete registration, meet the needs of users, and also achieve our goal (promote registration).

For programmers, this part belongs to the "operational" side of things. Usually, this kind of work is not involved in our work. Therefore, I can only start with the most basic methods, such as tweeting, replying to official tweets, and improving the SEO of the page by adding descriptions and keywords. Of course, these are the most basic ways to handle it. If you want to do better, you need to constantly learn and improve.

The final data: 17 registered users, of which 3 completed recharges.

The results may not be as satisfactory, but this attempt taught me knowledge beyond work skills. The process is more valuable than the results, and it allows me to better cope with similar challenges.

Also, feel free to check out the article I wrote about how to open GPTPLUS. If you need to recharge, you can contact me, and I can help solve related problems.

Conclusion#

Next, let Google search engine help with traffic, and I may not spend too much time on it. So I will also write an article to record what I have done, which can be considered as a conclusion.

During this process, I learned:

  1. The power of traffic trends (various cases).
  2. Consolidated front-end knowledge and full-stack technical skills.
  3. Tried to understand the concept of "operations" and content SEO concepts.
