My 4-Month-Old Site Made £1,848 Last Month. Here's the Real Dashboard.
Part 3 of building a business with AI, with no technical skills. While Claude builds the blog template, the admin panel and the backups, I show you a site I built the same way: publishing.co.uk, four months old. The real revenue dashboard, the real traffic, where it ranks, and how it earns its own links. No "£10,000 in 30 days". This is the reality.
