New try to rank in Google. Gambling niche.

Hi BHW members.

After many fails (many mant ), i finally try to rank in my native language (French).
I tried English because i thought it was easier with greater search volume, but article making is longer for me.

What i've already done?

5 days ago:

• WP Site with 6 articles SEO optimized (thanks BHW for advices).
• Search volume for each keyword: 1.000 to 12.000 searches.
• No design, no images, i'm looking for someone, i'm not good with design.
• Site is on Google Search console and google analytics

Results (today)

• I'm ranked for 8 keywords (from page 4 to page 10).
• My sitemap is not totally indexed by google. (2 sitemaps are pending: page sitemap xml and post sitemap xml)
• Not accepted by adsense. (gambling, even if i don't promote any site or other at this time)

What i'm plaing to do:

• design and image (seo optimized)
• finding an ad network paying cpm and cpc if exists, and other ways to monetize in the future
• finding more KW for new articles
• finding someone who helps me for design

My questions

• Will i rank higher when google finished indexing my sitemap?
• Are English backlinks good (my site is in French). And are the 5$ HQ backlinks from Fivver good?
• If you have good advices for monetization, i'm hearing because i'm a noob

My conclusions:

I failed many times, tried many things, but i've read here on BHW many hours.
And finally, i found that with easy KW it's possible to rank easily. I do my KW research alone now, even if i'm not perfect.
But an advice for all memebrs is to don't give up, read a lot and don't think like you. Go to a mall, look the people. And try to think like them.

Once again, great thanks to BHW
