Key takeaways

Pick a directory niche where you already have an unfair advantage — Martin's is Hong Kong gyms because his brother owns a gym and he's affiliated with several; yours should be a vertical where you know the owners personally.
Use the `8 versions + 5 judges` prompt pattern (skeptical CEO, distracted founder, competitor, ideal customer, conversion copywriter) to force AI to self-verify copy before it ever hits the page.
Don't single-shot the AI build — first ask Horizons for a prompt, feed that prompt into Kimi to generate a PRD, then return the PRD to Horizons. The first-pass build was visibly worse than the two-step version.
Hold paid listings until you have at least 20–30 free listings; Martin's monetization roadmap is free scrapes → free featured slots for big brands → paid featured slots for trainers and boutique gyms → AdSense → digital products.
Use Porkbun for domains and connect it to your VPS so your agent can serve the site — explicitly called out as the cheapest option the Boxmining office uses.
Plan a weekly cadence: Martin intends to launch a second directory in a different niche (pets, chiropractors, dental) the following week — treat directories as a portfolio, not a one-off.
Add a vibe-coded utility page like the 5-minute "Pick My Workout" roulette to make the directory feel interactive and shareable, not just a static list.

Video summary

Companion notes

A Hong Kong gym directory built in 48 hours with Hostinger Horizons and Kimi shows the directory model still prints ad revenue at scale.

The three real-world benchmarks

roadsideamerica.com pulls 85,000 monthly visitors and earns a lowball $5,000–$7,000/month from display ads alone.
Atlas Obscura hits 1.1 million monthly visitors and has expanded into Spotify, Amazon listings, and a podcast.
findagrave.com gets 1.4 million monthly visitors and generates $60,000–$70,000/month, possibly $100,000/month, almost entirely from AdSense and display ads.

What was actually built

A local Hong Kong gym directory, filtered by location, category, and features like Hyrox, 24 hours, yoga, and personal training.
Five listings on day one, with a target of 20–30 listings as a credibility threshold.
A vibe-coded "Pick My Workout" roulette page spun out in 5 minutes and embedded as a WordPress page.

The AI stack and the prompt that matters

Hostinger's no-code AI builder Horizons for the front end, Kimi to draft the PRD, then Horizons again for the final build — the loop was iterated, not single-shot.
Core prompt Martin shared: "Write my landing page in eight different ways... Then create five judges... Have every judge score every version... Kill the losers, merge what worked into a final version, and show the scoreboard." The judge pattern acts as a verification loop against UI guesswork.

Money path (in this order)

1. Scraped free listings via AI until the site looks legit. 2. Free featured slots for big-brand gyms in exchange for goodwill. 3. Paid featured listings sold to personal trainers and boutique gyms. 4. AI-written SEO articles for organic reach, then AdSense on top. 5. Optional digital product launch once traffic compounds.

Cost stack mentioned

Hosting: Hostinger, Astra, or WordPress on a VPS.
Cheap domain option: Porkbun, connectable to a VPS so an agent can serve the site.
A real business email was flagged as required "just for optics."
