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
Then I open it and I see that it's missing Mistrel. There's no Mistrel there. And this is the example where if an expert comes in and they see you don't have Mistrel in your directory, they will quickly realize that you don't know the topic. You would never miss the most important open source project back at the time. So if the data is great, the influencers might share it with their audience.

And from there, your job pretty much ends because now it just turns into the organic system that people share. If somebody shared, then other people also want to share it. Like people work in a collective mind, right? And the only thing you have to do from there is to make sure the data is great. You keep running your SEO business activities, like I run the agent and others can do other things.

But then the key focus is making sure that you check the data, you check the space every week or month, and you make sure that if there is really hot item, appearing, like new item that everybody talks about on Twitter, you have to add it there. You have to add into your directory.

And you have to do it fast because if you do it fast, there's a chance you will actually get the traffic from Google, from people who search for that new hot item right on your directory. And That's why there's very little work to do, but you have to have put attention into the space almost every day. So I have a lot of directories. I don't really do stuff, but I scroll Twitter every day. And

Once I see that, oh, this item is relevant for this directory, I just bring it in. And that's kind of the next wave of growth comes from being early to list hot items on your directory. And Google will find nothing else on the internet to supply to the user who is searching for that. And Google will show your item, your page for that. So that's the whole path.

Yeah. Yeah, so there are multiple ways depending on your audience. So if your directory is B2B, it's easier to monetize it because obviously you can go to businesses who have the same audience as your directory and you can pitch them in the banner spot or the sponsor options. That's what I always did.

I had directories of all GPTs and I just sent an email to all GPT owners saying that, do you guys want to be featured on top of this directory? Because we have 30K items. You're just one of 30K. Do you want to be the number one on the top? And then a lot of people said yes. So that's one way. The other way is the affiliate links. And that way works pretty good.
