Starting a News Style Niche-Targeted Website With FB Traffic...?

Hey guys!

I've been thinking about building some assets besides affiliate marketing. One thing I've been wanting to explore is creating and building a news style website or blog around a targeted niche. Kind of like Destructoid but probably for something other than gaming.

Another idea would be to create a Buzzfeed similar website locally. And then expand it gradually to the region, then the world.

I would get traffic via classic social media, mainly Facebook. All articles, design, programming... would be outsourced. Getting and monetizing a few thousand views per day would still be a great and steady passive income.

Has anyone ever done this? Let me know what you think. If I decide to do it, I'll start it as a journey here on STM.

Peace

There was a follow along about it no so long ago, you should check it out.

it's possible to do it but not as easy as it was I believe.

A follow along would be great, I'll subscribe and help if you choose to do it.

Good luck

Thanks! Sure, it's not easy. And it will take time to build and get a lot traffic. But it is worth it. These things sell like crazy lol

Besides, assuming you get a lot of traffic, you'd be able to get sort of free media buys on your site. No review teams, no bs. Now think about having a 100 of those sites. You got yourself a tiny traffic network right there with no limits

Are there any challenges / obstacles for this?
- Check out article about future of native ad
- Adsense getting banned due to many duppliate content?
- Getting traffic from social media like Facebook. could they ban your account?

Im still researching the feasibility.

people have been successfully doing this already: http://qz.com/258337/five-reasons-wh...so-successful/

they started out with 3 guys rewriting articles found on other sites. They got 1.5M USD funding recently, valuing them around 6M.
