In this video, I share my step-by-step SOP for creating monetized websites under $2 total*. We’ll explore two core strategies—using a *free Kaggle dataset or a public API*—and then walk through *\$1 domain registrations*, hooking into *non-AdSense ad networks (like MoneyTag), and combining Bolt.DIY + DeepSeek for near-free AI coding. Finally, we’ll deploy the site on Vercel to avoid monthly hosting fees. If you’re aiming to scale and build many sites fast, all while minimizing upfront costs, this guide is perfect for you.
*00:00 – 01:39 | Introduction: Why \$2 Websites Are Possible* Overview of the entire SOP and how a domain, hosting, and AI coding can all cost under \$2 total.
*01:40 – 02:56 | Step 1: Choose Your Niche* Deciding between a *Kaggle dataset* (e.g., dog breeds) or *public APIs* (like crypto or government data).
*02:57 – 04:12 | Step 2: Get a Domain for \$1* Where to find domain deals (e.g., IONOS) and tips for paying the lowest price possible.
*04:13 – 05:49 | Step 3: Monetize Without AdSense* Why I chose *MoneyTag* (and other possible networks) to immediately start earning without strict verification.
*05:50 – 07:25 | Step 4: Build with Bolt.DIY + DeepSeek* Explaining how this combo keeps AI development costs extremely low—sometimes just fractions of a cent.
*07:26 – 08:35 | Step 5: Hosting on Vercel for Free* Demonstrating a simple, zero-cost hosting solution that supports large-scale site deployments.
*08:36 – 09:39 | Real Examples: MyDogBreedHelper & CryptoPricingIndex* Highlighting two live sites I’ve created using these exact strategies.
*09:40 – End | Conclusion & Next Steps* Recap of the SOP, the total cost breakdown, and advice on scaling to multiple websites.
