🚀Google’s March update is here - what happened this week

Hello, my friend!

Can you believe it’s already mid-March? Time is flying! 🚀

Did you set any specific goals for March or Q1?

And more importantly, are you on track?

For me, it’s been a mix of wins and losses. But honestly, that’s just how life works. One door closes, and another one opens. Can you relate?

While I was busy creating new content for my site, my site was busy making me money. 💰

This week alone, with just 93 indexed pages, my site pulled in $815.92 in affiliate commissions—mostly from just a handful of pages! 😏 

And on top of that, I’ve got a few brand deals in the works (more on that in my March affiliate report).

If you’re curious about which affiliate programs I use and how much each one makes me, check out my in-depth Monthly Affiliate reports, which are part of my premium content.

Here’s a little sneak peek from February: 👇

The best thing about affiliate marketing?

The flexibility! 💪✨

Even if I don’t publish new content, my old articles keep pulling in organic traffic and commissions. That’s exactly why I have more flexibility these days.

But if I want to double my earnings, I’ll need to keep doing what’s worked all along—sticking to my SEO strategy, no matter how many times Google shakes things up.

Oh, and in case you missed my Wednesday newsletter—my latest article hit Google’s front page in just a few days! 🚀 

It’s only been live for about a week, and it’s already bringing in traffic. 🎉

In a nutshell, I achieved it by targeting a keyword that my website can realistically rank for and creating a content piece that’s optimized and aligns with user search intent.

In my latest Premium newsletter (which dropped yesterday), I walked through my entire process—from choosing the right keyword to writing and optimizing the article.

Here’s a little preview for you! 👀

Google March core algorithm update

I’ve been waiting for this news because Google rolls out updates every March. ⏳✨

And here we are again — Google announced the March 2025 Core update.

Lately, I’ve noticed that creator-led content is climbing the ranks, while those big, old-school websites that relied on domain authority aren’t dominating like they used to.

And it looks like this shift is only getting stronger…

Google just confirmed they’re making “a series of improvements” to surface more content from creators.

What does that mean?

More chances for people putting out great content to finally get the spotlight. So yeah, I’m doubling down on my SEO game.

If you’re a brand, now’s the time to be more open about who is actually creating your content and to think beyond SEO.

Because in 2025, branding and SEO go hand in hand.

Agree? 🤔
