🗺️ THE 5-STEP REPLICATION BLUEPRINT
─────────────────────────────────────

Want to build your own version of this? Here’s the exact roadmap covered in this episode:

STEP 1 → Build your niche stack
Pick 1 niche to start. Choose something Pinterest-friendly, evergreen, and affiliate-ready. Home & garden, food, DIY, health, parenting — all proven. The system is the same across every niche. Swap the topic, keep the machine.

STEP 2 → Spin up a WordPress site
Domain + hosting + Rank Math SEO + REST API enabled. Under 1 hour. Under $5/month. Don’t obsess over design — the pipeline does the publishing, not you.

STEP 3 → Build 10 Canva pin templates
Create 10 reusable portrait-format (1000×1500px) pin templates in Canva. Bold headline, list format, before/after, tutorial, and quote styles. These become the visual engine n8n uses to auto-generate pins for every post published.

STEP 4 → Wire up n8n
Four nodes. One pipeline.
→ Node 1: Topic batch trigger (Cron + Airtable)
→ Node 2: AI briefing + angle selection (LLM API)
→ Node 3: WordPress draft builder (REST API)
→ Node 4: Pinterest auto-push (Canva API + Pinterest API)
Keywords go in. Published posts and pinned content come out. Automatically.

STEP 5 → Grow to Mediavine threshold — then turn on the ads
Start with AdSense from day one ($8 RPM). Upgrade to Mediavine at 50K sessions ($42 RPM). That single upgrade 5× your ad income overnight. Each site that hits the threshold adds a new passive income stream. 30 sites × $2,900 = the math speaks for itself.
