🚀How I kicked off March: my website, clients, SEO & more

Hello, my friend!

How have you been lately? 😊

In my previous newsletter, I shared my February recap—everything I worked on, achieved, and learned.

It was a super productive month, and I’m hoping March will be just as good!

In today’s newsletter, I’ll give you a little peek into how I kicked off March and what’s keeping me busy—client work, my website, and more.

A quick update on my client work

I don’t talk about it much since most of my projects are under NDA, but here’s a little behind the scenes.

Besides my usual content writing tasks, I’ve been chatting with a client about a new project.

It’s not strictly SEO-related, but it could be a fun and interesting challenge!

For those of you who are new here, I offer SEO content services, mostly for SaaS and B2B companies. I used to cover a broader range of SEO services, but content is where my passion (and best results!) are.

So, if you’re looking for a content writer with a strong SEO background, let’s chat—we might be a great fit!

How do I find clients while focusing on my website?

Great question!

I’m a firm believer that results and achievements speak better than any resume.

The truth is, my website does the heavy lifting.

The results and case studies I share bring in new SEO content requests without me having to chase them.

I’ve never been a fan of the whole “fake it till you make it” mindset. Instead, I work with clients whose values align with mine and where I can genuinely add value.

That’s also how I balance client work with my own projects—I split my time 50-50.

Speaking of my own projects, here’s what else I worked on this week…

🚀 New product review just dropped on my site

This week, I got my hands on ContentShake AI by Semrush and put it to the test.

✅ What I liked:

• It automates and speeds up content creation, which is super helpful for agencies handling multiple writers.

• Runs on Semrush’s keyword data, so you can see if your topic has ranking potential.

• Offers handy SEO and readability tips to help optimize your content.

❌ What could be better:

• Uses OpenAI tech for content generation, and some responses feel a bit like ChatGPT.

• I wouldn’t recommend publishing AI-generated content as-is. It definitely needs human editing.

• Doesn’t always consider search intent, which is key for SEO-friendly content.

I learned a ton while testing it, and I shared even more insights in my full ContentShake AI review! Check it out. 🔗

March marks the end of the Q1

March is here, which means Q1 is almost over! 😲

Back in mid-December 2024, I set my business goals, and now it’s already March 2025. Time flies, doesn’t it? ⏳

I’m staying on track with my content goals for my website this quarter.

Other than wrapping up the last few posts, I also need to do some keyword research and map out my content plan for the next quarter.

I used to plan a whole year in advance (I still sell my 12-month content plan for companies 😉).

But for my own site, I’ve switched to quarterly planning. It gives me more flexibility and doesn’t take too much time.

Since I started treating my website like a real business in January 2024, here’s what I’ve achieved so far:

✅ Earned $3,274.16 in two months (I break down my income & affiliate programs in my monthly affiliate reports)
✅ Published 6 new blog posts
✅ Updated 8 older posts
✅ Created new site categories to better organize content: SEO tools, Creator tools, and How to grow a blog

These changes helped double my organic impressions in just three months and push my website earnings past $2K+ in February. 🚀

Now, here’s an interesting insight: Most of my revenue comes from just 2-3 articles!

Even though I optimize my content to drive sales, the Pareto principle is in full effect—20% of my content generates 80% of the results.

That just means there’s more work to do:
🔹 Publishing more content
🔹 Reducing risks (in case traffic shifts)
🔹 Keeping my top-performing pages ranking high

If you're working on growing your website, how’s it going for you lately?

Would love to hear about your progress! 😊
