Don't believe the hyped up answer of "4-6 months." At four months you will just start to get a trickle of traffic coming in, but it takes a full 1-2 years for a blog post to fully mature and have tens of thousands of views.

This is a black hat tactic called keyword stuffing, and Google penalizes it. Not only that, but people are web savvy by now and don't want to feel like they're reading something salesy or written by a bot. By offering original content that truly helps others, you're going to stay ahead of the game -- and the competition.

I love designing websites from scratch, using Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and such sites. I do not know Word Press, and cannot code. However, most themes/templates are beautiful, professional, and fairly powerful in their capabilities, and we can customize them using affordable help from sites like Fiverr and Upwork. For example, I did this site from scratch: www.timberdog.com, and it's highly customized.

No. AI is still a poor generator of content, in my opinion, and one can sniff an AI-written article from a mile away. Google will start penalizing AI-generated content as it's mucking up the interwebs with cloned content. I occasionally use ChatGPT for inspiration or to glean interesting ideas, but my work is completely my own.
