Hello everyone. Today I will show you how I speedran a project in about 6 hours. This is a project for SEO. A free generator. Essentially, I think you have seen similar things, when you type into a search engine "free generator of something," some websites pop up, you can paste something there, and it generates either file conversions, or some other bunch of different things. So, essentially, this is a project made to get people hooked, and so that the site is found when people search for it, hypothetically. I put it together in about 6 hours, this is completely from idea to an already published project, including articles on the blog. So, I was sitting there, and how did the idea come about? I started looking, well, I see that "Sora" is gaining momentum, what's happening there, and a platform specifically for Sora appeared. That is, its own social network where videos are posted. I think many of you have already seen how the entire internet is filled with videos generated by Sora. I opened Google Trends to see what's happening. And somewhere here there was a dashed line going up. I saw the dynamics, that the dynamics are upward, very sharp. And, accordingly, one can try to grab traffic from search based on the fact that I took a domain specifically for the keyword that people type into Google. That is, "40 prom generator." I saw the domain was free, and I thought, "Oh, I bought it for fun." Just to test how it would work overall. Well, and then, using the Cursor application for development. I think many have already seen it, but possibly many haven't yet. This is an application for development based on, various artificial intelligences are connected to it. It has a different list of what is connected to it and what can be used. And it basically works like this. You write a request to it, press Enter, and it automatically starts creating the project, the structure, how it works, the entire codebase that is needed, that is, how our styles will be, that is, all these styles, animations, how it is done, created using Cursor. That is, all text prompts, I didn't write a single line of code. The essence is that I understand how projects are structurally organized, I understand how they should work together, how they can be linked, what should be there regarding the code, what we have here. For example, in this project, we have a simple site structure, these are drafts of files, different ones that are needed, the site itself, and there is a specific blog, where our articles are directly published. For this, another tool is used where articles are published. This is Strapi, such a product that allows creating articles for SEO, and then your site pulls them. It has an admin panel where I wrote these, well, put these articles, everything is configured, I'll show you now. For example, how it looks. Here. And look how it's all done, well, beautifully. And all this is with the help of artificial intelligence, with the help of Cursor, I collected all the text prompts. And the articles are also detailed with references, well, what they are called, with backlinks, to the resources from which this or that material was taken. And the articles are detailed, large. The articles were directly written through Perplexity. This is a search engine on steroids. I have PayPal, and they recently gave free access to everyone for free. So I got it completely for free. I have a pro account. And I didn't even pay for the subscription. Accordingly, it works. You can see through a text request how the articles were created. It conducts research, collects all this, structures it on a specific topic that I indicated. And then it gives me this MD file. MD is in Markdown formatting so that it's convenient for me later. I took it, copied it from this file, and put it into Strapi. When I clicked "create new article," I pasted all the information and then saved it. I didn't add any images or anything. Images, thumbnails, all these previews were generated through ChatGPT, it's also very fast. And here's how the whole thing looks regarding animation, all that. The scroll works like this if you scroll. Well, everything is done very cool, optimized. Plus, it works in two languages: Russian and English. Here we have this cool eye that Apple made, so everything comes out very beautifully. I made about twenty articles, I think, and uploaded them here. Accordingly, I told Cursor that I need to connect Strapi, gave it all the data, told it how to do it. It did everything. Of course, it's not done with one request, it just gradually happens like this. The essence of working with Cursor is that you take one big task that needs to be done and decompose it into small parts. And gradually you build a plan on how to reach the final point, and gradually you do it, do it, do it. And you don't need to Google anything, even if you don't understand anything about code, don't understand anything about the structure, you calmly download Cursor and tinker with text prompts. You can start small at first, try to build a parser for Google Sheets, see how it builds it in Python, something like that, just tinker, see. So, hypothetically, you downloaded ChatGPT, you downloaded this thing the same way, tinkered with it, looked. So. But now, further, and directly Cursor, plus Strapi, well, Perplexity. And all this to recreate completely from scratch took me about 6 hours. The longest part for me was just generating the articles, because, well, the request is sent, and you sit for about 10 minutes, waiting, while it gathers all the information, creates everything, and so on. This, in principle, took the longest. Here, yes, I have 20 articles published. And further, what else did we need for it to work? Written code, published articles in Strapi first, and then it needs to be published for the site to be accessible. Found it. Well, initially, the very first thing I did was buy a domain. So I bought a domain, checked that it was free on .com. You can use any registrar. It doesn't matter at all. I saw it was available. I bought it. Then, when I was creating the project through Cursor, I told it: "Initialize git." So it created git, which is where the project, essentially, well, its codebase is located. Git allows you to keep, how to explain it correctly? Well, drafts, hypothetically, there's a draft of the previous version, before it, before it, so it allows you to make comments and store all the codebase that was before. So, if you make a mistake somewhere, you can roll back using git. And when the project is published on GitHub, so we created a repository there, published it on GitHub, we will need it just for hosting the project on the internet, so that it becomes accessible, so that we have a website available, and using Vercel it takes just about 4 minutes. Well, at most, when the project is on GitHub. Here, you register, all that, click the button to connect the project. It automatically suggests connecting to your GitHub and connecting the desired project. You choose the desired project, and it starts deploying it, and in about 4 minutes your project is available online. You click to connect the domain, connect the domain, it takes another 2 minutes, and that's it. And the project becomes available. It's all done very quickly, doesn't take much time. And how does the site itself work? It's a super simple thing. It just generates a prompt in the required format. So, a person enters a request for what they need, and the AI formats the prompt in the required format, and for free, I give people a certain number of requests per day based on their IP address plus user agent, well, those who know, know. Anyway, I'm too lazy to explain. So, it determines how many requests a person gets per day. So, there are 5 requests available per day in total. And it generated this one. We copied this prompt, went to Sora or wherever else it's connected to other services. Pasted it, and it generated a video. Did I test this prompt? No. The format in which it generates, whether it will produce good videos, I don't know. The essence was completely different. The task was to understand if it's possible to tap into SEO specifically. That is, using a domain with a keyword, people type in many queries. So, if we, for example, write "Sora prompt generator," the trend is upward, it started sharply. And people type this a lot. And it was interesting whether it would be possible to tap into it or not, whether the domain would rank higher for the keyword. But there's a nuance, considering that I'm not a professional SEO specialist. I have gaps in my knowledge regarding SEO. Well, I think significant ones, somewhere I messed up when I was making some changes. And then, accordingly, there are nuances for the site to be in SEO, it needs to be added to Google Search Console. That's the next step. Well, I think many people know this who are specifically involved in SEO or have added their sites to be displayed in search engines. Yandex has the same thing. So, I messed up somewhere, and a downward trend started. I don't know where, I don't understand what exactly is wrong. I couldn't find it because of the lack of specific knowledge, understanding of what could be wrong. I added the domain to Ahrefs, it shows errors somewhere, but I have no idea if they are critical or not. Those who are SEO specialists, who understand how to do this, optimize, improve, it will be extremely useful for them that you can quickly assemble things like this. What are the costs here? The development itself, the requests, will consume, during the time you are doing the project, about $20-30, if you use Cloud 4.5. But I strongly recommend using it specifically, because in my experience of writing, through Cursor, about 1300 lines of code have passed through me in total, maybe more, I just don't know for sure, maybe 500. And gradually I moved with all the models that Cloud released. And recently, just a week or two ago, Cloud 4.5 was released. It works just amazingly. I really like how quickly it corrects, quickly understands where and when there's a mistake, if you see something. And, well, the model is very cool, you can already build large projects. I have large projects that are built. I'll show them later when I shoot the next video. It does it very well. You just need to keep track of what you're doing. Every action you take, improvement, all that, test it immediately, see what has changed and if it's as it should be. If it's as it should be, then move on to the next step. And, accordingly, costs. Here it will cost about $20-30 for all the requests to deploy it further. For Strapi, there are two options. You can deploy it for free using your own server, that is, host it on Vercel, or use Strapi Cloud, which is $15 per month. It depends on what's convenient for you. I, to avoid further hassle and do it quickly, used Strapi Cloud to save time. The task was simply to do it as quickly as possible and see what comes of it. Therefore, these costs can be written off. Vercel is initially free, you can host this project and Strapi. Perplexity is free for me because they gave it away for free, I don't know if they are still giving it away. And $10 for the domain, so in total about $30-30. So, can this project generate something? Yes, it can. If, for example, I understood SEO and corrected the mistakes somewhere that are present. I don't know what exactly is wrong, but something is there. What can we look at here? Effectiveness, probably, yes, the pages shown here, what traffic, countries, it's clear that the USA still predominates. Devices. But the USA is really good. The main idea here was to aggregate US traffic, which might be possible. But the downward trend, I don't know. It feels like it's related to the fact that I messed up somewhere and pages started dropping, all that. My site is also made, so those who understand can take a look. Everything is open there. What else? Well, there were some errors, like pages not being indexed. I put them on for indexing. It seems to be working. Well, something like that. So, this is the project. I hope it's clear and will inspire someone to download Cursor and try to do something. Even a simple HTML page, a website that says "Hello, here I am." Try to see how it's assembled. It's actually all easy and simple. It's just, well, it's easy and simple. Okay, you need to gain some experience, some knowledge, but initially, at least, try something basic, tinker with it, and then over time it will become clearer how it works and how things are connected. For example, if you have an idea, you can write to Cloud, like, I want to do something like this. How can it be done? It suggests something, offers options on how it can be implemented, through what it can be done. Then you start to elaborate, "Tell me more about this option." Then it starts to explain, to break it down. You read, delve into it, understand. Then you tell it, "Try to write technical documentation, without code, just technical documentation so that I can read it and understand." It's like an engineer's book, technical documentation for building a house. When you build a house, you first develop the documentation, you don't just start building. You develop the technical documentation, read it, you know how everything works, where everything is implemented, how it functions, blah blah blah. Everything is absolutely clear. It's the same here. You can ask it to write documentation. It will write it, you understand, you look. Ah, this will work like this. This is logically connected to that. And that's it. Then you ask it to start development, to build a plan, essentially. Do this, do this, do this. And it goes step by step based on the technical documentation it wrote. And you can also ask it, "Review this technical documentation? Did I make any mistakes anywhere?" It will read it again carefully and say, "Ah, well, here, perhaps, I wrote it incorrectly, I'll change something." And this, essentially, turns into an orchestra, where you just conduct, sit and watch what it does. It speeds up the work colossally. And you can do whatever you want, you just need time and to delve into it. The coolest thing is that you can create absolutely anything when you have the desire and perseverance. You can figure everything out now. That's all for today. Thank you all.
