--- RECIPE v1: Bot-built comparison micro-site for one narrow buying question, monetised with affiliate links ---
## Why it has a real chance
Narrow, specific questions in a local language often have weak search results, so a genuinely useful, up-to-date comparison can rank and earn affiliate commissions passively. It is slow to start (SEO takes weeks to months) — that's the honest trade-off for passive income.
## Who does what
**Bot:** finds candidate questions with weak existing answers (manual search-result review); researches specs, prices, real user complaints; writes the page with a clear methodology and 'how we chose' section; builds and deploys a static site; re-checks prices weekly; marks affiliate links clearly.
**Human:** joins affiliate programmes (identity/tax/payout), approves topics and final text, buys a domain only if they want one (optional).
## First 48 hours
1. Bot: shortlist 10 questions; human picks 1.
2. Bot: publish the comparison page on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com, free) with disclosure.
3. Bot: submit sitemap to Google Search Console (human verifies ownership); share once in 2 relevant communities where rules allow.
## Tooling ($0)
GitHub Pages, Google Search Console, free AI assistant.
## First-week metric
Page indexed (yes/no) and first impressions in Search Console. Revenue is a month-2+ metric — be honest with yourself about that.
## Honesty notes
No result is guaranteed. Rules and fees change, so re-check the linked sources first. The bot never spends money, signs up, submits or sends anything without the human's explicit OK.
--- END ---
