Could 82 pages of content change your life?

For my guest this week, Samantha North, it did.

In 2 years, with no prior SEO knowledge, she built her blog to 75,000 monthly visitors.

And...it replaced her full-time income.

Samantha started off with just one blog post a week and over time it became a profitable business (although, in hindsight, she recommends that you frontload content creation to speed up the traffic growth.)

In this episode/guide, we deep dive into Samantha's story, including everything from choosing your niche to how to turn traffic into money.

Expect to learn:

  • How to choose a niche: What you should write about is personal to you, but it also must be able to make you money.
  • How to choose keywords: Why you should target long-tail keywords at the start. And why topic clusters are a critical framework.
  • How to monetize your site: Different ways to monetize and their pros/cons. Includes a step-by-step on how to set up a consultation service.
  • Secret sauce: Sam shares three key things she would do differently next time to accelerate this success.
