Hello, {{ first name | my friend}}! ๐
I hope you are doing well!
March is almost overโare you on track with your goals?
No worries if not, Iโm 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. ๐
Just yesterday, I had a call with Deepti, the founder of Indexly AIโa tool that helps speed up indexing on Google and Bing while helping you track your websiteโs organic performance.
From my first trial until now, Iโve watched it evolve into a robust technical SEO tool for website performance tracking. ๐
I havenโt talked much about this collaboration, but Iโve been partnering with Indexly to spread the word about their SEO toolkit.
๐ Have you tried Indexly yet? Hit โReplyโ 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. Iโll 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, Iโve been deep into writing a detailed comparison of Ahrefs vs. Semrush.
Itโs going to be similar to my Semrush vs. Search Atlas post, but this time, Iโm adding even more insightsโbecause, fun fact, Iโve been using both tools since 2015. Thatโs 10 years! ๐คฏ
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, Iโve 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. ๐
Despite the keyword โAhrefs vs. Semrushโ having tough competition in search results, Iโm 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.
Hereโs 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 isnโt just picking the โ10 bestโ results anymoreโthereโs too much content being published every day.
So, how does Google decide who gets to be seen?
It comes down to authority โ and thatโs where your brand comes in.
Leigh McKenzie, Head of SEO at Backlinko, explains it well:
โA strong brand is your best defense.
If you donโt work on your brand, then your site โjustโ exists on Google, waiting to get hit by another update.โ
Thatโs exactly why Iโm doubling down on my personal brand:
โ
Medium: 21K followers
โ
LinkedIn: 2.7K followers
โ
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. Hereโs a sneak peek. ๐

Whatโs 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.
Whatโs next?
Next week, Iโll be wrapping up March goals and prepping for Q2.
๐ฐ March earnings update: My site has already pulled in $1,800+ in affiliate & partnership income this month!
Iโll be putting together a detailed monthly report to share whatโs working. All readers will get a quick breakdown, but Premium members get the full scoop on the exact affiliate programs Iโm using.
For now, Iโm doubling down on whatโs working instead of joining new affiliate programs.
Plus, Iโm looking for ways to collaborate even closer with my best-performing affiliate partnersโthis means better deals for my readers and higher returns. Win-win!
If youโre curious how I consistently write content that ranks, brings in brand deals, and earns me around $4,000/month (Iโll spill more details in next weekโs email ๐), check out my SEO book.
I walk you through my full process โ from finding the right keywords to creating and optimizing content that gets results. ๐

Get access to all my Premium content
Iโve made a big change to make my Premium content easier to access. ๐
