Hello, {{ first name | my friend}}! 👋
I hope you are doing well!
March is almost over—are you on track with your goals?
No worries if not, I’m trying to catch up, too!
Client projects have kept me busy with SEO and content writing, so my personal to-do list is running a little behind. 😅
Just yesterday, I had a call with Deepti, the founder of Indexly AI—a tool that helps speed up indexing on Google and Bing while helping you track your website’s organic performance.
From my first trial until now, I’ve watched it evolve into a robust technical SEO tool for website performance tracking. 📈
I haven’t talked much about this collaboration, but I’ve been partnering with Indexly to spread the word about their SEO toolkit.
👉 Have you tried Indexly yet? Hit “Reply” and share your thoughts. I might even feature your insights on my website (with full credit, of course)!
P.S. I am negotiating a special one-time discount for my readers. I’ll hopefully be able to share it with you soon. So, stay tuned!
Deepti from Indexly and I are discussing the next steps in our collaboration.
Even with client work, I’ve been deep into writing a detailed comparison of Ahrefs vs. Semrush.
It’s going to be similar to my Semrush vs. Search Atlas post, but this time, I’m adding even more insights—because, fun fact, I’ve been using both tools since 2015. That’s 10 years! 🤯
This piece is one of my last Q1 content goals for my site, all leading up to my big target: $20k in revenue this year.
So far, I’ve hit 20% of that goal!
I break down all the juicy details in my monthly affiliate reports. The March report is dropping soon, so make sure you upgrade to get access. 🚀
Despite the keyword “Ahrefs vs. Semrush” having tough competition in search results, I’m quite confident that my post has the potential to hit the Google front page, similar to how it happened with many other posts on my website.
Here’s why.
If you are doing SEO or just plan to do it, you might want to know this.
In 2025 and beyond, SEO and branding will go hand in hand.
Google isn’t just picking the “10 best” results anymore—there’s too much content being published every day.
So, how does Google decide who gets to be seen?
It comes down to authority — and that’s where your brand comes in.
Leigh McKenzie, Head of SEO at Backlinko, explains it well:
“A strong brand is your best defense.
If you don’t work on your brand, then your site “just” exists on Google, waiting to get hit by another update.”
That’s exactly why I’m doubling down on my personal brand:
✅ Medium: 21K followers
✅ LinkedIn: 2.7K followers
✅ Reddit: 104 posts & comments karma (One of my first posts hit 21K views!)
I actually shared more about my Reddit marketing experiment in my Premium Case Study. Here’s a sneak peek. 👀
What’s on Medium?
One of my top-performing Medium posts is about how AI-generated content performs on a healthy website.
No Medium subscription is needed with this link if you are a Premium member.
What’s next?
Next week, I’ll be wrapping up March goals and prepping for Q2.
💰 March earnings update: My site has already pulled in $1,800+ in affiliate & partnership income this month!
I’ll be putting together a detailed monthly report to share what’s working. All readers will get a quick breakdown, but Premium members get the full scoop on the exact affiliate programs I’m using.
For now, I’m doubling down on what’s working instead of joining new affiliate programs.
Plus, I’m looking for ways to collaborate even closer with my best-performing affiliate partners—this means better deals for my readers and higher returns. Win-win!
If you’re curious how I consistently write content that ranks, brings in brand deals, and earns me around $4,000/month (I’ll spill more details in next week’s email 👀), check out my SEO book.
I walk you through my full process — from finding the right keywords to creating and optimizing content that gets results. 🚀
