One of the best businesses to run with GrokBot is a directory. A directory is basically just curated data on a website. You pick a topic and you say, here are the best XYZ in this topic. It's a good $10K, $25K, $100K a month business, Here's the whole setup: 1) Pick the niche. Pickleball equipment. Board games that are good for parties. Something you already have taste in. 2) Build the site on Astro. Astro specifically is really good at directories. 3) Set up a research agent. Every day it investigates a new brand and writes a great page on that brand as Markdown. 4) It hands the page to the engineer, who posts it. 5) Rinse and repeat until you're getting thousands of visits a month. 6) Then add an agent that collects referral links and does outbound to get deals. Step 6 only works after step 5. Nobody gives you a deal when the site has no traffic. Once the directory is getting visits, you have a foundation. Put a niche newsletter on a subdomain and link people over to the directory with your referral link. Those warm leads become sponsors in the newsletter. And the whole SEO game is changing right now. People are going to ChatGPT and Google AI overviews to consume content, and platforms like that need directories. There's too much information out there, so curated is what's helpful. Pick the niche, let it write the pages, then go get the deals
