How I grow and monetise my website with the help of SEO

Hello there!

I decided to share some SEO strategies I use to grow my website. I hope it will be helpful to some of you. 😇

Since July 2021, I have published 68 website pages, generating roughly 5,500 organic search visitors monthly.

Here is what I did (and continue doing) 👇

1. Target keywords with business & search traffic potential

If no one is searching for what you write about, you should not expect much from your content.

The key to creating a consistent traffic-generation channel is keyword research, which will help you discover users’ frequently used search phrases.

Today, roughly 73.6% of all my website pages generate traffic from organic search results.

2. Analyse search intent

Your website pages won’t rank on Google if they don’t align with users’ search intent. What is it? It’s a “why” behind users’ search queries. I always recommend analyzing the top-10 ranking web pages before creating optimized content.

3. Ensure your content is actually on Google

A published web page does not guarantee that it will rank in organic search results.

Search engine bots have to crawl your new web page first and add it to its main index (a massive database of online content) before it will start ranking.

4. Optimize your work with tools

I could not grow my website and online business as a solopreneur without using various tools. I use Semrush, Ahrefs, Google Search Console, and Screaming Frog daily to track my website performance.

5. Monetize when you get at least 100 visitors a day

Trying to monetize your website when there is no traffic is worthless.

Therefore, don’t waste time on monetization strategies at the beginning of your website growth. They won’t help you make money. Instead, focus on creating optimized content to attract the target audience to your website.

My website had been live for 1.5 years before I started making $500+, mainly thanks to this article, as an affiliate income monthly.

I hope this post was useful. 😉
