I am putting up 6 niche blogs that will have 100-200 posts each.
Post word count will depend on the length of my competitors' content but the minimum is 1000 words and maximum is (based on what I've seen) as much as 10K words.
I will be using THREE blogging topic research methods: 2 blogs per method
For this journey, I will:
Use the 3 strategies below
NO BACLINK BUILDING (Unless you think NO FOLLOW social shares/quora reference links as links)
Crowdsource researched outlines for each blog post to speed things up
Use a high speed/high output/high quality 100% human content creation technique. I don't want to use AI/software since it would suck to put in all this work only to get my stuff DEINDEXED for whatever nonsense in the future
Here are the 3 case studies' details
CASE STUDY 1
Blogs #1 and #2 will use the ABC Google Autosuggest method
Step 1: I enter my sub-niche's main keywords into Google plus a letter into Google and record the autosuggested questions
Step 2: I run searches on the autosuggested questions to see if they have high quality results or if they show a) thin content b) forum posts c) reddit/quora posts as the #1 result
Step 3: If the top results are weak/incomplete/unfocused/nonexistent, I keep the question keyphrase on my blog topic list
CASE STUDY 2
Blog #3 and #4 will use a method where I reverse engineer competitor blogs by finding their low difficulty keywords
Step 1: Find my topic 5 niche competitors
Step 2: Do a domain overview for each site on SEMRUSH and check out their organic results
Step 3: Filter by Keyword Difficulty (set to VERY EASY) and traffic
CASE STUDY 3
Blog #5 and #6 will use the ZERO TRAFFIC ZERO DATA QUESTION METHOD : Use the same ABC Autosuggest method as Case study #1 (plus answer the public / kw shitter)
and use only ZERO or NO TRAFFIC DATA relevant keywords
Step 1: Use kw shitter/kw io/Google ABC method get tons of questions
Step 2: Use SEMRUSH Keyword overview to bulk analyze these
Step 3: Sort by traffic - toss out any questions/topics with traffic or which have a Keyword difficulty rating - keep the rest
Step 4: Read through the list of remaining keywords - is their search intent clear? - do they truly fit my sub-niche?
CONTENT PRODUCTION STEPS
1) Enter target phrases into SURFERSEO
2) Get list of keywords and crowdsource researched outline for each article
3) Write out the content in batches based on the outlines
4) Input each DRAFT post into Wordpress and adjust for minimum RANKMATH score of 85 to 90
What my VA will do
1) Interlink the posts using LINKWHISPER Wordpress Plugin
2) Find no attribution/no credit required royalty free photos from Pexels / Pixabay / (to a limited degree) CreativeCommons and plug into the posts (1 picture every 400 words)
3) Label the pictures after keyword targets
4) Distribute new posts to the blog's accounts on
- Twitter
- Pinterest
- Reddit (I'll be using an aged account with previous posting history to avoid drama)
- My own sub-reddit (several - dedicated to the main topic of each blog)
- The blog's FB page
- The blog's FB group (focused on the overall set of problems the blog answers)
- Quora
I'm doing this primarily to MOTIVATE MYSELF - nothing like the threat of public shame to motivate action - to test the most effective topic generation method.
Once I'm done with these case studies, I plan to scale up the winning method
My goal is to create several dozen big authority sites
Also, it'll be a nice PICK ME UP when I compare my stats/word output from previous updates with current numbers
