I started building my first niche site 7 months ago. At that time I did not know anything about SEO. Until now I have got 10 sales, $50 earned, that's a big fail for me, but anyway that's my first site. I have to keep learning a lot to make big money.
I read a lot when I first started but I only learned when I took action. Here I what I have learned deeply so far.
1. Nobody cares about 2nd page results. Yes Nobody. I wrote 40 articles but only 3 articles brought sales. Only the 1st page article brought me sales. I dont even see clicks from 2 page articles. Whenever you write any articles. Try to rank it on the first page.
2. Do your keyword research carefully. I definitely cannot compete with high authority sites articles, know who you arẹ. I underestimated keyword research because I watched some videos on youtube saying that you dont need to use tools. Just use Google suggestions. That's not true. Maybe some experts can find low competive keyword, niche without tools but that's not me.
3. Think about how to monetize your articles.
Yes, I wrote an article " How to set up Yoast SEO", I did not think carefully about how to monetize this article. Yoast does not have affiliate program, How could I monetize this article? selling SEO course?. No, the competion is huge. I wasted my time to write 4000 words article for nothing. Write articles that bring your money.
4.
Post content regularly, Google loves that. In the first 1.5 months. I posted content but I stopped after that. last months I kept update content, post more articles. I see the huge increase in traffic. Write long, article with images, videos, internal links, external links. Link your site with related articles. posting your content regularly. post 2 articles a week, 8 articles in months, 48 articles in 6 months is better than posting 48 articles in the first month.
5. Backlinks
Again, the mistake comes from youtube. "You dont need have to building backlinks, just write quality content, the rank will follow" NO. Content is king, but there's so many kings out there. I definitely need backlinks. GOOD backlinks.
That's all. I'm not SEO expert but I learned from my mistakes. Hope this helps newbies like me.
