I earn more than $500 a month with [redacted], a phone contract comparison website for the UK market.

Today, 90% of my time is spent on content marketing, followed by improvements to the website.
Data is automatically pulled once a day. Parsing the data feeds can be frustrating, as there is no consistent format or documentation, therefore I need to code around many possible edge cases.
I do all the web design and development work myself.
Stack:
Front end: plain JavaScript
Back end: Node.js
Host: $10 DigitalOcean droplet
Web server: Nginx
SSL: Let's Encrypt with certbot
Proxy: Cloudflare
Database: Postgres
Caching: Redis
Indexing: MeiliSearch
Most of the traffic comes from organic search. It took me more than a year of SEO work to get any traffic at all from search engines. I was a bit naive about how much marketing I actually needed to do - I almost gave up several times.
