July 2024: Monthly Recap 📈

Hello there,

July flew by, and guess what? It was a record-breaker for income! 💰📈 

Let me share some insights with you. 👇️ 

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. I closed one more collaboration in July, which made it my highest income month of this year.

2. I help Copilot to bring more relevant traffic to their website. My work delivers maximum value to my clients.

3. I have less anxiety since I reached a certain level of income that won’t drop.

4. I only work on high impact projects.

5. Eventually, I work less while gradually making more.

Nevertheless, some of the work I’ve done in the past still yields positive returns.

I don’t work on affiliate marketing these days due to a lack of time, but I'm still benefiting from previous work in this area. 👇️ 

My strong SEO foundation is the key to these ongoing commissions. Check my SEO book to learn how I do it.

What's more, I've landed several sponsorship opportunities in July.

Here’s what I worked on this month:

• A sponsored case study on Medium

• A sponsored (and honest) Seona.ai review on my website

• A sponsored guest post (coming soon!)

• Two sponsored listings on my website

You might wonder whether I’m concerned with AI overviews and SearchGPT (the newest AI search features from Open AI).

Yes, I am!

While there’s a possibility my website could be affected like many others, I don’t think it’s an immediate threat. AI-generated content still lacks quality and originality, which gives human creators a significant advantage.

So, my clients and I are doubling down on SEO writing to keep our websites humming.

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 at the moment, and do things that fuel me with energy, such as morning reading in a garden.
