I completely agree with your point about hosting affiliates. Every beginner who starts a blog eventually needs hosting, so recommending it in tutorials feels natural instead of forced.

As someone who's hired freelancers before, I'd say these ranges are pretty close to what I've experienced too.

Pausing low-performing keywords made a huge difference for me too. I wish I had done it sooner.

"This is exactly the mindset that separates investors from gamblers. Buying a site with clear growth opportunities is far more valuable than chasing flashy revenue numbers. Great breakdown! 👏"
