SEO for dummies 101🧑🦲: The Content Funnel and according to Google's latest update (Aug 2024), keep the content useful for users not for the sole purpose of ranking. 💯 Steps to understanding the Content Funnel: 👩🏽🦲Content Funnel in a nutshell: There are 3 pillars in a content funnel, each pillar targets different audiences, it is important to understand the purpose of the page you are creating. 🧠Top of the Funnel (ToFu): This pillar exists to answer or review generic queries i.e. educating users about a niche or something generic i.e. "What is the meaning of life?" is a good example. 🫀Middle of the Funnel (MoFu): This pillar in the middle should be a useful guide (many businesses choose comparison). i.e. The meaning of Life in Science and Religion. 🫀Bottom of the Funnel (BoFu): This is where you can promote your brand, I prefer relating your brand to the problem, say your brand is Microsoft Excel, the content should be about "How can Microsoft Excel help me understand the meaning of life?" Thank you and follow for more tips

I want to dive into a simple yet impactful practice that can significantly improve your blog's organic traffic: updating your older blog posts to include internal links to your newly published ones. Here's the deal: we often get so caught up in the excitement of publishing new content that we forget about the posts we've published in the past. But here's a little secret – your old posts can be the key to the success of your new ones! Here’s why: - SEO boost: When you link back to your new posts from relevant older content, you're not just creating a pathway for your readers — you're also making it easier for Google to discover and index your new pages. - Enhanced user journey: By linking older posts to new ones, you're guiding your readers on a journey through your website, keeping them engaged and immersed in your content. This not only improves the user experience but also increases the time spent on your site. So, if you haven't been linking your old blog posts to your new ones, now is the perfect time to start. --- And I can help with that — and create the strategy on how you should update the rest of your posts. Just shoot me a DM.

Choosing the perfect length for a blog post in 2024. Whether you're diving into a quick update or exploring a complex topic, here’s how you can decide the ideal word count, tailored to your needs and those of your audience... - Short Posts (200-600 words): Ideal for quick updates or snappy insights, these posts are brief, but meaningful. They might not climb the SEO* ladder, but they're perfect for sharing news or spotlighting products. - Medium Posts (600-1,000 words): Just right for those who prefer a good read without the commitment. These articles educate and engage, offering a deeper dive without overwhelming your readers. - Long Posts (1,500-2,500 words): These are the deep, thoughtful conversations that resonate. Favoured by the God's at Google, they allow you to cover a topic with the depth it deserves, enhancing your visibility online and establishing your expertise. 🥳 For those focusing on SEO, the sweet spot often lies between 1,760-2,400 words. (hubspot 2024) 🫶 This length has the elbow room to explore a topic thoroughly, providing the rich, detailed content that search engines adore. Remember, the heart of your blog should always beat with quality and relevance. It’s not just about meeting word counts but about stirring curiosity, providing value, and sparking conversations. So, no matter the length, make every word count. Becky x *SEO = Search Engine Optimisation. The keywords used so search engines essentially find your blog and rank you higher. ........

You can’t build a moat around the whole world. The goal of your content & SEO strategy should be to build a long-term, sustainable growth channel. This is a competitive advantage. It’s a moat. But if you try to do everything, you’ll fail. If you try to own every keyword, you’ll fail. If you just blog and pray, you’ll fail. Instead: ✅ Define a tightly curated set of topics that are actually relevant to your business ✅ Identify content/keyword opportunities that demonstrate need or intent ✅ Create the best content in the world on that core group of topics ✅ Manage, maintain, and update your library of targeted content This sounds easy. Reality? It’s way harder than just building a big list of keywords and cranking out blog posts. It takes discipline. It takes patience. It takes strategy. But discipline, patience, and strategy are what you need when you’re investing in a long-term growth channel for your business. You can’t just start digging your moat and hope it works. First, map out the land you want to protect. Then, build the moat you actually need. — If you read this far: 1. Follow me or connect with me on LinkedIn 👋 2. Share this post to help others find it 🙏

🔥 A Bullet-proof formula to earn $500 Per Month Remember when I started my online content journey? Scrambling for strategies, feeling lost in a sea of SEO advice, and not knowing if I'd ever generate that first dollar... Frustrating, to say the least. But through trial and error – and a healthy dose of stubbornness – I stumbled across a simple formula that CONSISTENTLY brings in at least $500 a month. And I want to share it with you, especially if you're a new creator feeling overwhelmed. Here's the breakdown: 🔥 The Content: Start churning out readable, valuable information on your chosen niche. Nobody cares about perfection at first, focus on sharing. 🔥 Interlinking: Your articles or videos shouldn't be dead ends. Guide readers to other relevant content you've created. 🔥 Tech Talk: Don't underestimate site speed and design. Nobody wants to wait for a slow webpage or struggle to find what they need. 🔥 Social Fuel: Your content lives beyond your website. Promote the heck out of it on social platforms relevant to your audience. 🔥 Link Love: Quality backlinks are like good reviews. Connect with other creators, consider guest posting, or even ethical paid link strategies. 🔥 Data Driven: Your Webmaster tools are a roadmap. Use them to improve areas where people click away, or fix errors. Buckle down, do these things CONSISTENTLY for 90 days. Will you instantly rake in millions? Probably not. But this lays a foundation for steady, long-term growth. If I could do it, anyone can.
