What happened to my online business in August 📈

In partnership with

Hello there,

That’s Victoria from the Website Growth Mastery, showing up in your email box. 😉

Autumn is just around the corner.

This means we're bidding farewell to summer in a few days.

Have you 👩‍💻 or 🏝️ in August?

Let me share what happened to my online business this month. 👇️ 

You might know that I paused many of my projects since June 2024.

Even though I have a strong passion for every project I manage, my ultimate goal has always been to work less without compromising my quality of life.

Therefore, I decided to focus on client work and keep some of my projects running on the side.

The outcome?

1. August has been my third-best month in terms of income this year

2. I create optimized content for Copilot to bring more relevant traffic to their website. Guess what? We’ll expand our partnership in September. 🚀

3. I’ve been invited to become a guest lecturer and record an SEO writing masterclass. Stay tuned for more details! 😉 

4. I’ve got several brand sponsorship requests with the highest paycheck of $500 for a brand mention on my website. More on how to create such content in my SEO ebook.

5. I’m close to making $600 with just 2 stories on Medium in August

6. I’ve got 22 applications for the blog post writer position. I’ve already reviewed them and will get in touch with a few candidates in early September.

If you want to learn more about any of these, just hit “reply” and ask.

Most importantly…

I only work on high-impact projects, have less anxiety, and have more free time for fun at the end of the month.

This month, I’ve met with a fellow content creator and an absolute expert in automations — Tina Lopez.

We connected on Medium last year and have finally met in person in Toronto! 🤩 

My highlight of this summer: less is actually more!

Doing fewer tasks that aren’t important frees up my time to disconnect from digital work, feel present in the moment, and do things that fuel me with energy, such as morning reading in a garden.

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.
