Big changes are coming to my newsletter ...
This won’t be a typical edition about SEO updates.
Hello there,
It’s Victoria from Website Growth Mastery popping into your inbox. 😉
This isn’t your usual newsletter with the latest SEO updates.
Instead, I’ve got some exciting changes to share that I think you’ll like. 🤩
For almost a year now, I’ve been giving you the inside scoop on my website’s growth – the wins and the challenges. I’ve tried to stick to SEO content since that’s what YOU signed up for when you clicked that “subscribe” button.
But this year has been full of some seriously exciting milestones, and I just have to share them with you. 😇
I’m sure some of these stories will spark a little motivation for you.
Oh, and did I mention I hit 20,000+ followers on Medium this year?!
In 2024, I’ve been making an average of $112.15 per story.
I’ve never shared this number publicly yet (except for my newest Creator ebook).
I know I have Medium writers on my list. That’s why keeping my Medium journey quiet would be a missed opportunity. It’s a huge part of my story, especially since my whole creator journey started there. 😎
So, after I update the newsletter concept, I’ll be sharing my Medium journey more often.
Additionally …
An up-to-date guide 📚 with all my Medium learnings and insights is coming soon!
And that’s not all!
You might not know this, but my website has 83 pages, with 11 blog posts published this year.
To my surprise, my site has earned me over $8,000 this year by November 2024—mostly through passive income from affiliate commissions and sponsorships.
Looks like my website monetization strategy 💰 is working, and I feel it’s fair to share it with more people.
In fact, I’m already brainstorming ways to scale this strategy for next year. 📈
So, if you’re curious about how I monetize my small website without relying on annoying ads, stay tuned! 😉
What about SEO insights?
SEO has played a huge role in my journey as a solopreneur and brought me to where I am today—an independent woman running her own online business. 💪
A little over the top? Maybe.
But it’s the truth.
I’ll keep sharing easy DIY SEO tips and tricks to help you grow your website.
But if you’re ready to dive in now, check out the deals for my SEO ebooks below! 👇️
What’s more?
2024 has been a game-changer for me – it’s the first year I’ve started earning a regular monthly income from newsletter sponsorships, all thanks to beehiiv!
It’s something I’ve never experienced in my creator journey before.
I cleaned up my email list a few months ago, cutting it down to just over 1,000 engaged and loyal readers (yep, that includes you – thanks so much! 😇 ).
Even with a smaller list, my newsletter brings in about $92.65 a month in passive income (I’ll be sharing more details in a case study on Medium soon).
This is all from ads!
No product or service sales are involved.
As a small content creator, I never imagined I'd have sponsors for my newsletter, but beehiiv made it possible.
This seems like a low-hanging fruit that super-busy content creators can do as a side hustle.
I’m excited to share my newsletter journey with you, so stay tuned for all the behind-the-scenes in my following emails! 📨
Struggling to get enough eyeballs on your content?
Posting on LinkedIn or social media won't do the trick; visibility only lasts 24 hours.
But a well-written article stays relevant and accessible for YEARS.
This is how top companies consistently reinforce their expertise.
You can do the same.
Here are 3 ways to start today:
Build your own Newsroom: Create a central news hub on your website to build trust.
Place your brand in top tier magazines: Target industry-specific magazines to reach a larger, more relevant audience.
Get featured in magazines for free: Increase your chances of getting noticed by journalists by publishing regularly.
Sounds like a lot of work, but not when you use Pressmaster.ai.
Create and publish valuable articles in minutes, and access top magazines for 40% less than the market average.
