September 2024: Monthly Recap 📈

Hello there,

The first month of autumn has passed in the blink of an eye.

It's still quite warm here in southern Ontario, Canada, though I don't expect that to last much longer.

This Friday, I was busy wrapping up my pending tasks to successfully close out the month and prepare for my long-awaited birthday trip next week! Yay! 🚗 🏰

This month has been a record-breaker for me in terms of work hours and earnings 💰.

Here’s what I’ve accomplished:

• Wrote 2 in-depth, optimized articles for a content marketing agency

• Created 3 optimized blog posts for a SaaS company

• Created a database with 25 content writers and successfully hired one of them 💪 

• Created sponsored content for two brands

• Sold 11 copies of my SEO ebook

• Started working on the SEO writing masterclass on “How to Find & Analyze Keywords for SEO” — stay tuned! 😉 

And there’s even more!

I also want to celebrate another milestone that highlights the true impact and potential of SEO.

5 brand sponsorships, $900, one blog post

In my previous email, I showed you how my blog post on “AI Tools for SEO” outperforms industry giants like Semrush and Backlinko.

Although my website’s domain is relatively new and not as strong as my competitors', one of my articles ranks in the top 3 positions for over 600 keywords, bringing in 2,500 visitors each month.

More traffic always means more opportunities.

Just this month, I closed 5 collaboration deals that resulted in a $900 profit from the AI SEO Tools blog post.

This is a reward for the SEO work I consistently do on my website and for my clients.

No matter what others say, SEO isn’t dead!

SEO works and delivers results if you follow Google’s guidelines and consistently create helpful content. (Check my ebook to learn more about SEO writing).

What’s next?

I’m taking a well-deserved vacation to celebrate my birthday next week in Montreal! 🤩 

After the trip, I’ll be right back at it, helping my clients craft high-ranking content.

Plus, I’ve got a few pending requests from brands to tackle.

If you have any questions about SEO or need tips on growing your website, just comment below this post. 😉
