I published 10 articles on Dev.to in 2 days as a content marketing experiment for my AI fortune telling side project. Here is what happened.
The Setup
My product: CyberOmen — an AI that cross-references Astrology, BaZi, Tarot, and Numerology.
My goal: Get traffic to a product that costs $0 to run.
My budget: $0.
What I Published
- Life Path Number article (astrology audience)
- Astrology cross-reference (tech + spiritual)
- One-Person Company (indie hacker)
- Tarot Card of the Day (spiritual)
- $0/Month SaaS Stack (webdev)
- 4 Divination Systems (AI + spiritual)
- Zodiac Not Enough (astrology)
- Day 1 Revenue Report (build in public)
- Chinese Astrology Going Global (cultural)
- Fortune Telling Site Review (comparison)
What I Learned
Tags matter: Astrology and spiritual tags get way more engagement than generic webdev tags.
Story > Features: Articles that tell a story ("I built this") outperform feature lists.
Free CTAs work: "Try it free" gets more clicks than "Buy now."
Consistency matters: Publishing daily keeps you visible in feeds.
Next Steps
- More articles targeting specific spiritual communities
- Email outreach to astrology bloggers
- Reddit posts (waiting for account age)
- Conversion optimization on the site
The Math
If each article drives 10 visitors/week: 10 articles = 100 visitors/week.
If 2% convert at $0.99: $1.98/week = $8.58/month.
Not life-changing. But compound growth + SEO = long-term traffic.
The product is free to run. Every dollar is profit.
