What: Summary of current advice on blogging from r/blogging and r/just start.
|
|
|
|
Summary of each subreddit and general conclusions.
|
|
Both sites focus on generating income from blogging by winning search traffic.
|
|
|
|
Specific advice
|
|
1. Pick a microniche to focus on.
|
|
2. Build out from the niche with clear purpose.
|
|
3. Decide on articles by looking for keywords from searhc traffic.
|
|
4. AI is important going forward.
|
|
- Mixed amounts of applications.
|
|
- A lot of concern about replacing search.
|
|
5. Google "Helpful Content Update" significantly reduced search traffic.
|
|
- Relying on google is fickle.
|
|
6. Profiting from ads requires a lot of views.
|
|
Better to sale own content.
|
|
|
|
My takeaways:
|
|
1. If Google is so fickle, better to try to find traffic from somewhere
|
|
other than Google.
|
|
- Why would someone want to come my site in once I got it in their face?
|
|
2. Not worth it to rely on Ads.
|
|
Need to use the blog traffic to build trust.
|
|
Building trust conflicts with doing bad affiliate advertising.
