Hello, {{ first name | my friend}}! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I hope you are doing well!

March is almost overโ€”are you on track with your goals?

No worries if not, Iโ€™m 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. ๐Ÿ˜…

Just yesterday, I had a call with Deepti, the founder of Indexly AIโ€”a tool that helps speed up indexing on Google and Bing while helping you track your websiteโ€™s organic performance.

From my first trial until now, Iโ€™ve watched it evolve into a robust technical SEO tool for website performance tracking. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

I havenโ€™t talked much about this collaboration, but Iโ€™ve been partnering with Indexly to spread the word about their SEO toolkit.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Have you tried Indexly yet? Hit โ€œReplyโ€ 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. Iโ€™ll 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, Iโ€™ve been deep into writing a detailed comparison of Ahrefs vs. Semrush.

Itโ€™s going to be similar to my Semrush vs. Search Atlas post, but this time, Iโ€™m adding even more insightsโ€”because, fun fact, Iโ€™ve been using both tools since 2015. Thatโ€™s 10 years! ๐Ÿคฏ

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, Iโ€™ve 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. ๐Ÿš€

Despite the keyword โ€œAhrefs vs. Semrushโ€ having tough competition in search results, Iโ€™m 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.

Hereโ€™s 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 isnโ€™t just picking the โ€œ10 bestโ€ results anymoreโ€”thereโ€™s too much content being published every day.

So, how does Google decide who gets to be seen?

It comes down to authority โ€” and thatโ€™s where your brand comes in.

Leigh McKenzie, Head of SEO at Backlinko, explains it well:

โ

โ€œA strong brand is your best defense.

If you donโ€™t work on your brand, then your site โ€œjustโ€ exists on Google, waiting to get hit by another update.โ€

Thatโ€™s exactly why Iโ€™m doubling down on my personal brand:

โœ… Medium: 21K followers
โœ… LinkedIn: 2.7K followers
โœ… 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. Hereโ€™s a sneak peek. ๐Ÿ‘€

Whatโ€™s 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.

Whatโ€™s next?

Next week, Iโ€™ll be wrapping up March goals and prepping for Q2.

๐Ÿ’ฐ March earnings update: My site has already pulled in $1,800+ in affiliate & partnership income this month!

Iโ€™ll be putting together a detailed monthly report to share whatโ€™s working. All readers will get a quick breakdown, but Premium members get the full scoop on the exact affiliate programs Iโ€™m using.

For now, Iโ€™m doubling down on whatโ€™s working instead of joining new affiliate programs.

Plus, Iโ€™m looking for ways to collaborate even closer with my best-performing affiliate partnersโ€”this means better deals for my readers and higher returns. Win-win!

If youโ€™re curious how I consistently write content that ranks, brings in brand deals, and earns me around $4,000/month (Iโ€™ll spill more details in next weekโ€™s email ๐Ÿ‘€), 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. ๐Ÿš€

Get access to all my Premium content

Iโ€™ve made a big change to make my Premium content easier to access. ๐Ÿ™Œ

From now on, you can unlock everything, my full content library, all Premium posts (past and future!) for just a one-time payment of $7.๐Ÿ’ธ

No more monthly fees!

Yep, thatโ€™s lifetime access for just $7. Forever. ๐Ÿ“š

If you were a Premium member before, you already have access again. ๐Ÿ‘

And if youโ€™re a current subscriber, no worries, you wonโ€™t be charged monthly anymore. Iโ€™ve got you covered.

Iโ€™m keeping things simple so you can focus on what matters: learning real strategies from real people doing the work. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ก

Hereโ€™s the Premium content that recently went live for you:

Want in?

You can become a Premium member for just $7 one-time payment. Youโ€™ll get behind-the-scenes tips, real strategies I use to grow my site, and answers to your questions. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ก

Have a great weekend!
