Run a Niche Directory With a Tiny Agent Team

Premise

A curated “best of X” site: research one listing per day, publish, get real traffic — then monetize. Tiny roster, one job each, gate every stage.

Setup

1. Pick a niche you already have taste in (narrow beats broad).
2. Scaffold a fast static directory (e.g. Astro) wired to GitHub.
3. Paste the prompt into a lead bot that spins research + publisher agents.
4. Do not start outreach until traffic is real.

Boundaries

• No sponsor/affiliate chase before organic traffic proves the directory works.
• Each agent files a short end-of-day report.

1. Niche — propose 5 niches I would have real taste in, where “best {X}” could earn affiliate or sponsor money. I pick one.
2. Site — scaffold a fast static directory on a modern static stack, wire to GitHub, hand me the repo.
3. Research agent — daily: investigate one brand/product; write a factual Markdown page (what it is, who for, standouts, honest verdict). Pass to publisher.
4. Publisher — add the page and deploy.
5. Repeat until traffic is real (thousands of visits/month). Do not start outreach before this.
6. Deals agent — only then collect referral links and run small personalized outbound for placements/sponsors.

Keep the roster tiny. One job per agent. Five-line EOD report each: shipped, new, blocked.
