It's very difficult, because if there's no traffic, then something is wrong fundamentally. Maybe the domain name is wrong. Maybe the keyword looks easy, but in fact, it is not. That's why my recommendation is to never fall in love with the idea for a directory, but rather make maybe five bets, and then in 30 days, look at the one that does the best, and then put more time into that.

Otherwise, you will be trying to push the dying horse and will just never work. And in 30 days, I find the directory that does the best among all I did, and then I do the next phase. And the next phase is the data. And that part is even more important.

Because at the beginning, you're just selling the idea and people click that just to validate that they really care, they have the pain, but you don't focus that much yet on whether your directory is actually good. Because if you focus on everything at once, it's difficult to be good at anything, right?

So that's why the first 30 days, I focused only on validation of potential SEO traffic and the interest from people. But after a month, I go full into the data. And a lot of people who build directories fail here, like must fail here, because they don't put enough effort into making the data great. And here's what happens.

If somebody opens your directory and they know the topic, they understand it, they are probably experts. they can quickly see whether your data is high quality, whether you understand the topic yourself and you're not someone who just used ChatGPT to come up with the items, right?

And if that expert who sees your directory sees that the value of the content is high, the quality is high, they really respect that and they really want to share with their audience. And that happened... with all my good directories.

So they all have this moment where an influencer or few shared with their audience because they think it's really good and they will never think it's good if it's actually not good because they understand the data really well. If they come to, uh, let's say I made these directory, it was, um, LLM models. And then first I had, I just hired a guy to fill it out with data and
