Building News Website with Javascript, React, and News API

Welcome to Building & Monetizing News Website with Javascript, React, and News API. This is basically an extensive project based course where you will be fully guided step by step on how to build a news website using Javascript programming language alongside with other supporting tools. This course is consisted of two main aspects, the first one is the technical aspect which will train you from the perspective of web developer on how to build a fully functioning news website meanwhile the second aspect is the business aspect where you will learn from the perspective of business, you will learn multiple strategies to monetize your news website.The news website that will be built is going to have news from more than 80,000 sources updated regularly and it is going to be made possible by connecting the site with News API and there is nothing you should worry about since you can access News API for completely free with a limitation up to 100 API requests a day which is obviously more than enough for this project. This course puts heavy emphasis on user experience and comfortability, therefore, as soon as we are done building the website, we will be conducting testing not only to ensure the product has worked the way it is supposed to but also evaluating whether it’s easy to use and user friendly from the perspective of users. At the end of the course, you will learn several monetization strategies, such as displaying ads on your website or selling subscriptions to your customers for accessing premium features. Hence, hopefully by the end of the course you will understand the potential of turning this news website to a full time and sustainable passive income business.

Since the news website will be built using Javascript, therefore, some basic understandings would be necessary, nonetheless, there is nothing you should worry if you are not really confident with your Javascript programming skills as this course also comes with Javascript crash course which was created and designed specifically to prepare you better for the project. Hence, you will definitely get all basic fundamentals of the Javascript programming language that you need to know before starting the actual project.
