First Week of Indie Development: Website Done, AdSense Blocked Me

From the start, I aimed to make money. The first business model I want to validate is clear:

Create interesting, shareable mini-sites → distribute on social media → monetize with Google AdSense.

Week one, the goal was simple—build a small website and run through the entire process.

I haven't coded in years, so this week I set up the "infrastructure":

✅ Code repository done

✅ Domain done

✅ Deployment environment done

✅ Agent tools done

✅ First mini-page completed successfully.

Then I got stuck on AdSense.

Google is very strict with new sites; a bare site almost never passes.

My current plan: first build a blog, accumulate content,

use the main domain to pass AdSense review,

then attach mini-tools to subdomains and link them in.

Whether this method works... not yet verified, but I'll try.

Last night, I quickly added a "Buy Me a Coffee" module, just to have a monetization channel.

Next week's goal: thoroughly research Google AdSense, then build a targeted main site. Also, find several distribution channels for testing and evaluate the results.
