November 2024: Monthly Recap 📈

Hello there,

How have you been doing lately? 😉 

I’ve just finished summarizing my November highlights to share with you in this newsletter.

But wait, it’s the middle of December, you might say.

You are right!

Since the beginning of this month, I have decided to slow down and not take on any client work.

That means no client meetings, no projects — just a break. Honestly, it feels amazing.

While my friends are all caught up in their 9–5 jobs, I’m once again thankful to my younger self for choosing to be my own boss.

It’s my life, my rules. Period.

But, of course, my creator brain doesn’t really know how to relax.

That’s why I’m still active on LinkedIn, writing Medium articles and newsletters.

Let me pull back the curtain and share some of the behind-the-scenes moments of my November.

My SEO ebook is live! 📖

The 4th ebook of my SEO ebook with 110 pages includes:

• A case study on how my content outranked industry giants and ranked in the top 3 for multiple keywords

• A case study on what I do when my website rankings drop

• A step-by-step guide to finding, analyzing, and prioritizing primary & secondary keywords

• How to create a solid content writing plan

• How to craft SEO-friendly outlines

• My best writing tips to make sure your content meets Google’s expectations

• And more!

Here’s a little sneak peek of the ebook design! 😎 

or a better experience, I recommend downloading the PDF ebook and reading it on your desktop. The ebook contains graphs and charts that may be difficult to view on mobile devices.

This is an actionable guide. So, I recommend implementing what you have learned on your website.

The ebook isn't compatible with Amazon Kindle yet.

Partnerships with brands

This wasn’t something I had planned for this year, but it kind of happened on its own — maybe a little nudge from the universe to pay closer attention to this path. 😅 

Aside from running my client business (which, to be honest, has been a bit of a rollercoaster this year🎢), I got the chance to collaborate with two incredible and well-known brands in November:

Fiverr

Fiverr is a global marketplace for freelance services.

Their team reached out to me about a partnership, and now I help spread the word about Fiverr Pro, their premium freelance services that connect businesses with top-notch, verified experts.

Honestly, this collaboration excites me way more than my client work, and I can’t wait to keep it going next year. 🤩 

beehiiv

If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know I talk about beehiiv a lot — and for a good reason.

beehiiv is a fast-growing platform for content creators to grow and monetize their newsletters.

I usually don’t make the first move, but this time, I decided to break the habit and pitch the beehiiv team directly.

By the end of November, I had my first call with Kanishka, beehiiv’s content manager.

It felt like the start of what I hope will be a long and rewarding partnership!

My first article with some exclusive insights on Medium and SEO will be live on the beehiiv blog soon!

It’ll definitely make it into my December recap, so stay tuned! 😇 

I don’t know about you, but working with brands has really changed how I see my online business.

Here’s a big realization I had — let me know if you’ve thought about it too:

Clients reach out for a service they could get from anyone. But brands reach out because they specifically want to work with YOU!

They want to connect with your audience through your expertise, and they’re willing to give you the creative freedom to make it happen in the best way possible.

Can you see the difference? It’s huge!

Even though I have great relationships with my clients who truly value my expertise and share my beliefs, I know I’ll need to find a way to be less “busy” next year.

That’ll probably mean saying “no” to a lot of opportunities.

Have a great weekend!

Victoria
