How it works: build, grow, stack

Every guide on this site fits into one of three stages. Finish one, move up to the next.

  1. Build

    Choose a niche with real search demand, set up WordPress properly and publish your first 20 useful pages.

  2. Grow

    Rank for more keywords, earn links, and turn visitors into income with affiliate offers, ads and email.

  3. Stack

    Repeat what worked on a second site, buy sites that already earn, and sell when the price is right.

The Build to Stack course is coming

A step-by-step course on building, growing and stacking websites that earn. Join the waitlist to get first access and a launch discount.

Questions people ask

Is this a get-rich-quick thing?

No. A new website usually takes 6 to 12 months before it earns properly. We show the slow, real way, including the sites that did not work.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Everything we teach uses WordPress, and we show how to use AI tools for the technical parts.

Are the guides really free?

Yes. The guides, starter kit and newsletter are free. Some links are affiliate links, which is how we keep it that way.

How much money do I need to start?

Your only must-haves are a domain and hosting, which many hosts offer for under R100 a month on longer plans. Everything else can start free.

Can I do this from outside South Africa?

Yes. Our examples are South African, but SEO and affiliate marketing work the same anywhere.
