EPISODE 1 - Cooking Meth in the Secret Lab
The most important thing that you need to begin with is a website. Yes!
So, first of all, we need to get a domain that relates to the niche.
I usually prefer .COM domains because I have made the mistake of trying out other TLDs and my conversion rates dropped badly. So, I have no doubts in saying that .COM domains still maintain the highest level of authority for visitors.
Point the domain to a nice good hosting and install WordPress on it.
I use the premium version of GeneratePress but the free version would do equally good.
Along with that, you need to use Thrive Architect or Elementor to make eye-candy pages.
So, the home page needs to look like a magazine style layout.
It can have 3-5 posts in the main slider.
And below that, the other articles can show up as list style or whatever suits you.
I usually recommend having at least 8-10 high-quality articles on the website.
The website must have an About Us page, Contact page and Disclaimer page.
You can put the About Us and Contact pages in the main navigation while the disclaimer page link can go into the footer or top bar navigation.
You can generate disclaimer for free. Just do a simple Google search and you will get plenty of options.
So coming to the article pages, I usually recommend removing the sidebar from them.
I have seen a drop in the conversion of up to 20% when I have a sidebar on. So I am stating this with experience.
The featured image should be kept simple without any texts if possible.
The headline should be catchy and visible.
The article can be accompanied with around 3-4 images.
I use the small size of images without captions and I align them along with the paragraphs.
So that's it for today folks. Start cooking the meth right away.
I will try to be back soon with episode 2 where I will teach how to write the articles and what they should sound like.
The agency and coaching launch has really taken away all my time and strength but I am glad that it is keeping me busy in something constructive that is going to give me bigger returns as a long-term plan.
