Starting a Website
 

I've been taking a web development class and I'm thinking of creating a website. As I work in PC repair, the website would cover a variety of issues I encounter at work, and their solutions. The target audience would be users encountering niche problems(such as a particular virus). I plan to eventually monetize it with Google adsense to pay for hosting fees, but first I would need to generate traffic.


Any tips for how to generate traffic? I don't really want to pay for SEO or anything like that, 90% of the time it's just a scam that drives bots to your sites rather than actual humans. It's not the kind of website where I could just post articles to Reddit or whatnot, as its such a niche topic.

This may or not be relevant, but if you want some free hosting check out GitHub Education.

Don't see how you could get around SEO. If it's really such a niche topic, people are only going to find it when they are googling in frustration about that particular virus.

Making money off of a website is hard

I know nothing about the search engine itself, but promoting yourself on YouTube, other blogs, or other websites (Wikihow, or Wikipedia maybe?) might generate traffic?

If you buy howtogetridof<particular virus>.com that'd rank pretty high for almost no effort.
