Update - Build a Team
When doing SEO, one of the biggest factors you contend with is patience and discipline, which are tied to consistency.
You need to be consistent with your efforts in order to see results.
Which takes time, and sometimes this time feels like forever, especially when building a brand new site—then having to deal with financial challenges, environmental factors, and other things that can zap your motivation.
That's one of the reasons I've started my journeys and actively read and follow a few other journeys.
The beginnings are usually the hardest, especially if you haven't been through the entire process of building a successful site.
For people in this phase, I'd suggest starting a journey or getting in touch with other like-minded people(other journey creators).
Don't be a burden to them or ask a million noob questions; instead, try to form a rivalry/friendship where you comment on their progress, and eventually, you'll be chatting back and forth.
I believe this is one of the keys to staying consistent.
Another thing is your "Why."
Ask yourself these questions:
These answers are deeply rooted in why I do what I do so passionately. There are other factors such as taking care of family. And another big one is my competitive nature.
I believe that if someone else can do it then I can do it too and better.
Maybe not immediately, but I'm willing to work harder just to prove I can.
This is a huge motivator for me.
The last thing I'll say is it's important to learn to have fun with it.
Initially, I understand that fun won't be a thing you consider when dealing with poverty factors, family issues, zero friends, and no one believing in your dream.
But getting to fall in love with it is a crucial factor in staying consistent.
The freedom, flexibility, and potential gains from doing this for me are extremely exciting.
Every day I wake up rearing to go tackle a new issue with my sites or just research niches and see how much money I stand to make just by getting into these niches.
So in the end, all of this adds up to make sure you're passionate about what you're doing, because if you're not, then it'll be harder to stay consistent.

Back to the main part of the update.
I've finished hiring the new writers, in total, I now have 13 writers. From the new batch, I've only found 7 that I think are good enough to join the team.
I also published some new content that I had to publish. I have a few more but I'm running short on time.
So let me just share a few screenshots of the current progress.
Breakdown of writer outputs and cost:
Site stats Rankmath:
GSC screen:
And that's it. See y'all in the next one.
Great question. I'll start the update by answering this as it's a really good question.

Ask yourself these questions:
- Why are you doing this?
- What are you trying to achieve?
- Is it worth all the effort?
- What do you have to lose?
- What do you have to gain?
- I started doing online work because I saw no other way out. I hate being controlled from the depths of my bones, heart, and soul. So having to report to work pisses me off to no end.
- I want to be free. Free to do what the fuck I want when I want. I want to sleep long hours without worrying about anything or feeling like I owe someone something. So I need to make money, then more money, then lots of money. Right now I'm making more money and working to make lots of money.
- 100% yes! Nobody can tell me shit. I sleep when I want, eat when I want, and go where I want.
- My freedom.
- Everything.
