Hello again!
On my travel blog, my team spend 10 minutes per day creating news articles.
And that generates this much traffic per month…
Today, I’m going to share exactly how we do that, so you can do it too, if you want.
I have no secrets!
The ROI on my news posts is a little tricky to calculate, but it’s decent!
And paying a VA to write them up in 10 mins is pretty cheap.
The articles are pretty short, so admittedly, the ad RPMs are quite low.
But, these news pages also generate a lot of email signups, and there are affiliate links in there too.
The traffic comes from a variety of sources.
There’s Google News, but that’s pretty spiky and unreliable…
A lot of it comes from Facebook.
We share the post to my Facebook page and repeat that again 12 hours later.
And we send the news out by email too.
We have a weekly news email, and the top stories also go into a weekly roundup email.
How do we write news in just 10 minutes?
With a tool, of course!
My team use Ghost Craft to discover breaking news stories and write them up with AI.
It even adds images!
So easy!
You can fine tune the prompts in there to get the news exactly how you want it.
This is the prompt I use, in case that’s helpful to you…
“Make sure the article is written in a news style. Use a news-style headline that is factual and conveys the main talking point. Don’t use fluff, just clear and important information with the key details in the first sentences. Don’t use subheadings. Provide a meta description.”
News is unpredictable, and some posts only make a few dollars.
But some go viral on Facebook and make hundreds.
One of our news posts got 34,706 clicks, which made me $807.11 from display ads alone.
All from 10 minutes’ work!
I’ve recently added news on to my new website, Vegan Wins.
That news is all written with Ghost Craft too.
We’re starting quite slowly with the news on the vegan site.
But Axel, who made Ghost Craft, is also busy working on another tool that will connect to your RSS feed and automate sending news articles out by email.
I’m so excited for that one!
I’ll let you know when it’s ready for you to try out.

I’m in Greece at the moment so I may not be able to reply to any emails as quickly as usual, but I’ll do my best, so still do let me know if you have questions.
Bye for now!
