1. FACEBOOK
Facebook is one of the biggest social media networks in the world. Nowadays, people were
mostly driving traffic to their site through Facebook ads in which most of them end up losing
money due to the high competition in the market. Not many people even know that we can drive
leads and sales through Facebook FREE organic traffic. Here we breakdown the step-by-step most
effective Facebook FREE traffic strategy using Facebook Profile & Messenger.
1.1 Facebook Profile & Messenger Best Strategy: Step by Step Guide
This strategy requires you to optimize your Facebook personal account to link your profile
description, cover, and photos. If you don't feel convenient to do this on your personal
Facebook account, then you will need to create another new personal Facebook account. Let's
take an example of a personal Facebook account that optimized to promote an affiliate product
or website.

In a nutshell, here the strategy step by step to get traffic using Facebook Profile:
1) Optimized your Facebook Profile with your affiliate link or website link
2) Join several group niches related to the product you want to offer. If you see the group only
spamming promotion post every time and no engagement from their group members. Also,
when you check the comment section of the group only contains promotional stuff link. It's a
BIG NO GO group. Avoid that group!
Below is an example of bad Facebook groups to join. There is no room for you to be noticeable.
The posting content on the group is only spamming links in the comment section.
SPAM POST + SPAM COMMENT

DON’T JOIN IN THIS GROUP!!

PRO TIP: You should join a group in your niche where the group has an active conversation like
asking for help. Then other members will answer to help them. It's a good indication that you
can actively participate in that group to promote your self.
Other alternatives, you can find a group by a top authority who expert in a specific niche or
other bloggers who have their own groups, then you can join in their free Facebook group.
Usually, the posting on that kind of group is more engaging than other general groups and less
spamming.
Here an example of a great Shopify dropshipping group to join for niche make money online, all
the post in this group is not spamming content. These private groups "All About Shopify" and
"Ecommece Elites Mastermind" are moderated by an authority figure, so all the posts in these
groups are controlled by group admin and no spamming content. These are good groups for
you to make yourself noticeable as long as you can provide value in the group.
3) After joining that kind of group, you will need to engage in the group conversation and provide
a valuable answer. Since there so many people asking questions in the Facebook group looking

for help. The rule of thumb here is putting yourself as a helpful and authority person with a
valuable comment. Other members of the group will curious to check your Facebook profile. They
want to know "Who is this guy answering my question?" Since you have optimized your Facebook
profile with a link to your site or affiliate offer, you will get FREE Facebook traffic and may
potentially get conversion from some of those people
Becoming a
helpful person
in the group
and provide
valuable
comment

PRO TIP: Since you need to provide value and help to other members, you need to choose the
niche you know and are interested in. It's a passion game, so you can do it consistently every
day. if you find any question that you can't answer, you can Google or watch a Youtube video to
get the answer.
4) Once you have built your trust and authority in the Facebook group, some of the members
will end up chatting with you to consult with you and tell you their problem, and here, your
highest conversion rate will come. You will provide them with recommendations for any
product, service, courses, or coaching to solve their problems. It's like a friend
recommendation, so you're not trying to sell them hardly.
5) You will need to update your Facebook personal profile post with quality content (sharing
tips and tricks or strategies), so when someone checks your Facebook profile, they will scroll
down to see your daily post also. Some of you may feel uncomfortable posting something
related to your niche and be like an authority person using your Facebook personal profile. You
can use another Facebook personal account to do this job.
THE RULE OF THUMB FACEBOOK PROFILE & MESSENGER METHOD:
1. FIND GOOD FACEBOOK GROUP TO JOIN

2. DON’T SPAM IN THE GROUP
3. PUT VALUE FIRST & BE CONSISTENT, then others member in the group will
notice you and come to check your Facebook profile as they are curious with
you, and you will get FREE TRAFFIC from your Facebook Profile.
4. POSTING QUALITY CONTENT ON YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE
5. ENGAGED WITH PEOPLE THROUGH CHAT MESSENGER TO SOLVE THEIR
PROBLEM, you will become their friends, some of them will chat to you for
consultation regarding the problem they’re facing and you will give the solution
with your recommendation offer

2. PINTEREST
Pinterest is one of the social media that can deliver a longer lifespan time for your content. It's because
Pinterest is not only social media but also a visual search engine. It can keep bringing you passive traffic
from the pin that was even created one or two years ago. It's the beauty of the Pinterest platform as a
source of free traffic to your blog.
2.1 The Latest Updated Pinterest Keyword Research 2021

Pinterest is a visual search engine. It's a combination of social media and search engine. Hence,
doing keyword research on Pinterest is important to ensure that your pin can rank for the
specific keyword and getting an impression from Pinterest users. Unlike Google SEO keyword
research, which needs to find a long-tail keyword to find low competition keywords. While on
Pinterest, you can rank for short keyword (2-3 keywords) with high competition even as new
Pinterest account, as long as the keyword you use has a decent volume search.
Your pin can be found on the smart feed even when you use a high competition keyword to
rank, since most of the Pinterest users, on average scrolling down their home feed (smart feed)
for specific queries. Hence, it's unnecessary for you to rank your pin keyword on top of the
search page or top 10 with low competition keywords if there is no traffic coming into your pin.
Since Pinterest users' natural behaviour tends to scroll down their home feed, as long as your
pin has an engaging image, then the Pinterest user will stop scrolling and click your image pin.
Pinterest also distributes your new fresh pin on the smart feed regardless of the keyword
competition. That's why your pin can be found on the Pinterest home page (smart feed) even
though you rank for high competition keywords. This is one of the competitive advantages on
Pinterest that you can't find on Google.
There are four methods to perform keyword research on Pinterest. Let's deep dive into each method.
2.1.1 First Method: Keyword Suggestion from The Colorful Box

Pinterest will show the keyword suggestion from the colorful box below the search bar. When
you type specific queries on the search bar, let's say "weight loss"

Pinterest will give you colorful box recommendations like Meals, Easy healthy breakfast for,
drinks lose belly, healthy recipes, healthy vegetation recipes for, etc.
The colorful box shown from left to right is base on popularity. So the most popular keyword
will be on the left side, and the right side will be less. What does it mean for you? You can use
those keywords on the colorful box on your Board and Pin for title and description. Combining
several keywords on those colorful boxes will enhance your board and pin visibility on Pinterest
search.
Note: Recently, the colorful box keyword suggestion getting disappear on several Pinterest
accounts, it may be an indication that Pinterest news update is removing that colorful box
keyword suggestion. In this case, you will use another keyword research method.
2.1.2 Second Method: Pinterest Auto-Complete Suggestion on The Search Bar
Pinterest will show you auto-complete suggestions on the search bar when we type the specific
queries. Let's see on the example below you type "weight loss" and "how to lose weight"

The keyword suggestion shown is the most popular keyword in order from top to bottom. You
will need to utilize those keywords on your board and pin to maximize Pinterest search's
impression. Making your pin to be founded for specific queries is the first step you need to do
correctly before turning the eyeballs into clicks (traffic to your site).
2.1.3 Third Method: Spying Keyword on The Competitor Pin's Tittle
You can spy on the competitor pin's title shown up on the smart feed top page after typing for
specific queries, for example, "how to lose weight." Some of the keyword competitors' use on
their pin's title is also from the keyword suggestion search bar from Method No.2. This method
can be useful in case Pinterest completely remove the colorful box keyword suggestion from
Method No.1.
How to lose weight in a week
How to lose weight without exercise

NEW KEYWORD IDEA TO RANK:

How to lose weight quickly How to lose weight for women over 40
How to lose weight in a week
You can even discover new keywords ideas to rank by stalking competitors' pin titles like in the
picture above, "how to lose weight for women over 40". So, utilizing this method can help you
find untapped keyword title ideas you haven't ranked before.
2.1.4 Fourth Method: Pinterest Keyword Research Feature From Pinterest Ads
You will need to have a Pinterest business account first to use this feature. Pinterest ads
manager provides a keyword research section as a targeting section. Don't worry, we will not
run ads. We will utilize the keyword research feature on the Pinterest ads manager.
Choose ads on the top menu of your Pinterest Business account. Then, click "Create ad", you
will need to choose the campaign objective and daily spend limit, then click Continue. In the Ad
group details page, select a targeting strategy to unlock the keyword research feature. Scroll
down to Keywords & Interest section. Here you can perform keyword research.

As you can see, for the keyword "keto diet," you can use several new keyword idea
recommendations to expand your reach. The downside is that the volume search on Pinterest
keyword research seems not reliable. It doesn't make sense that all the volume search even
more than 5M for any keyword you're searching for. So the search volume is not showing you
the real number. Using this method is just to find other keyword ideas that Pinterest users
actively search.
2.1.5 Fifth Method: Pinterest Trends
Pinterest launches the Pinterest trends in early 2020. It's the same feature as Google Trend.
You can check the keyword trend, whether it is cyclical, evergreen, uptrend, or downtrend. You
can choose the country you want to research. In this case, I will select the USA.

Since Pinterest didn't share the exact number of the volume search keyword with us, we can
compare each long-tail keyword trend one to another. Let's see an example below that we
compare the search trend for weight loss workout plan vs best diets to lose weight for
women. Base on the picture below, we can say that.
Weight loss workout plan → Uptrend.

It's good to use these keyword terms. The trend for that long-tail keyword is an uptrend.
Best diets to lose weight for women → Sideways.

It's evergreen content. You will keep getting traffic even the volume search term far below the
weight loss workout plan, which significantly increases from the last three months.
The vertical axis is showing the search volume of a term to all other searches during that week.
The results are then indexed from 0 to 100 to compare the relative volume of each term. The
horizontal axis gives us the history data of the search term from the last 12 months.
As long as the search term we used has an evergreen (sideway), uptrend, and cyclical trend,
we can use those keyword terms. Avoid downtrend terms.
2.1.6 Pinterest Keyword Research Conclusion
In a nutshell, Pinterest keyword research helps you find keyword ideas and which keyword is
popular as you can validate it through method 1-5. The only downside is that Pinterest didn't
show us the exact volume search keyword for any specific queries. As we can see from the
keyword research feature from Pinterest ads manager, the value was overridden, showing 5M+
for all the search terms.

2.2 What is Considered a Fresh Pin Right Now?

Previously Pinterest considers a fresh pin = fresh image, no matter if your URL page is still the
same as long as the image is new, and it will be considered a new pin. This rule makes content
creators don't have to regularly create a new URL page as long as they have new images; it will
be considered as a fresh pin.
Recently in early 2021, Pinterest has a new update about the definition of the fresh pin.
Pinterest wants to increase its user experience by demanding the content creator to create a
new URL page and not only a new image. It will be even more challenging for us, especially if
we just started on Pinterest, it means we need to create even more blog content before we
jumped into Pinterest.
So, Fresh Pin's new definition is an image linked to a URL that was never saved on Pinterest
before. Kindly keep in mind that it doesn't mean we only allow to save 1 URL page once on
Pinterest. We can still save the same URL page to different related boards with less quantity,
like three boards, to avoid being marked as spam by Pinterest. So, you can save your 1 URL
page to 3 relevant boards with different images.
2.3 How to Fix your Pin Traffic If Pinterest Tagged Products to Your Pin
There is a change on Pinterest pin image in early 2021, previously we can click on the Pinterest
pin image anywhere, and the traffic will be directed to the site. It was recently founded that
some pins can't be clickable directly to our website on the home decor niche. We need to move
our mouse or point to the pin's bottom to be directed to the site, not good UX.
Here the example below as an illustration. Ideally, our pin image can be clickable at any position
as long as still within the pin image like the picture below.
Usually, pin images can be clickable at

any position as long as still within the
pin image. The website's domain will
be shown at the center of the pin
image, which is theflooringgirl.com, it
means the whole image can be
clickable. This is the IDEAL pin image
we WANT that OPTIMIZE CLICK to
WEBSITE

The latest Pinterest change makes your pin image tagged with the product pin-like picture
below, making your pin images not clickable as usual. This update significantly impacts the
traffic to your site.
When you click the pin image on

the dark side, you will not be
directed to the site. This is NO
GOOD for BLOGGER, but good
for eCommerce store owners.
The only link that will send

the traffic to your site is at the
bottom of the pin
If the pin image doesn't have a tagged product pin-like picture below, Pinterest users can't click
the pin image. The only active link is at the pin image's bottom, which will send traffic to our
site. This is not a good user experience. Pinterest users may confuse about how to access the
site from the pin image.
This pin image

can’t be clicked
The only active link sending

traffic to your site is at the
bottom of the pin image

Hence, you need to fix that tagged product on your pin image and make it back to a normal pin
image in which people can click anywhere of the pin image to be directed to the website. If you
see all of your pin images having tagged products, you will need to fix all of your pins one by
one. FYI, this update may be founded on other niches also in the future.
Now, let me show you how to fix it. In this case, I will use my dropshipping store Pinterest
account. I will use my product pin as an example to show you how to fix your image pin back to
normal again (clickable pin image). If you have many pins to fix, my suggestion will be to start
from the pin which brings you the most traffic.
First, click on the icon on the top left corner of the pin you want to fix as per the picture below.
Note: The product pin example above is not an ideal example. It's used for demonstration
purpose only since I don't have a case with a product tagged on my pin, the solution to fix the
issue is the same. Also, since my dropshipping store is still operating, so I can't reveal the
domain name.
In the second step, you need to click add products on the grey box with a plus symbol as per the
picture below.
Click add products

Then, you can choose which pins do you want to add to your Pinterest account. It can be
product pins or article pins. My suggestion is to add the related pin to the image pin you're
trying to fix.
Finally, you have successfully fixed the pin image issue! Now, your pin already backs to normal
without product tagged on it. You can recheck your pin image that everything is back to normal,
in which people can click on your pin image anywhere and send the traffic to your site (blog).
2.4 Pinterest Best Strategy: Step by Step Guide

Here the step by step guidance you can follow when you just started your Pinterest account.
1) Set up a business account & claim your site (under the claim menu). Pinterest required you
to have your blog (website), so every time you pin on Pinterest, your name and profile picture
will show up next to any Pins that come from your site.
P.S.: If you haven't started your blog. I highly recommend you start a blog with Bluehost. It's the
best web hosting with super cheap hosting for anyone who just started a blog. Bluehost also
gives you a one-year FREE domain
2) Enable rich Pin: Rich Pin will make your reader understand whether it is an article pin, recipe
pin, or product pin since rich pin will fetch the information from your website. It makes your pin
stand out and earn click from the reader.

How to enable rich pins on your blog? If you use the Rank Math SEO plugin, you can follow this
guide to enable rich pin. After enabling it, you need to check it using rich pin validator.
If your rich pin is already validated with a green checklist. Then, you will need to check your rich
pin whether there is a glitch or not. You can try to save your pin article to one of your boards to
check whether the rich pin successfully fetches the blog title and description like the rich pin
picture below. If the article title and description are failed to fetch into your article pin, you
need to contact Pinterest support to help you. It's a glitch from the Pinterest site.
If your Rich Pin

enable properly,
your article pin
will fetch the blog
title, meta
description, and
the author of the
article
3) Optimize your Pinterest Profile with a popular SEO keyword on your niche. It can help make
your Pinterest profile founded on Pinterest when people sort the search based on people.
4) Create boards with optimized SEO titles and descriptions (implement keyword research
method on section 2.1). Kindly note no hashtags on the board description.
5) Save 15-25 popular third-party pins, which you can find using the focus keyword rank high on
the Pinterest search. You can save the pins from other competitors gradually over three days

period.
6) Create pins with optimized SEO titles and descriptions (implement keyword research method
on section 2.1), ensure to use hashtags on your pin description.
7) Rule of Thumb Pinterest hashtags: don't use hashtags more than fives on your pin
description. Only put it at the end of your pin descriptions because it can be clicked and move
the traffic away from your pin. Hashtags should be relevant to the pin content. It's roles on the
Pinterest search to show the recent pins.
8) Create 3 version pin images for 1 URL page using Canva. You can upload one of your best pin
images to your blog post to get a social signal when readers save your pin.
PRO TIP: Pinterest can analyze your image's graphic content and associate with a similar one, so
ensure using an image relevant to your website blog page. Pinterest can also read text on the
image using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to know your pin content and show it to
Pinterest users based on keyword queries and interest.

9) Save the three versions pin from 1 URL page to 3 relevant boards from the most relevant first
to the less one. The interval for saving the pin from the same URL page base on Tailwind
recommendation will be a 7-day interval. It will take 14-day to save it to all 3 boards.

recommend using Tailwind as the only software to manage, schedule, and grow your Pinterest
account.
10) Pinning frequency rule: currently pinning frequency maximum 25 pins per day, to play safe
15-20 pins per day. If you're new on Pinterest and don't have much content yet, the best
recommendation will be 5-10 pins per day. You can mix the pin by repining others' pins.
11) Performing manual action on your Pinterest account like scrolling home feed, comments on
competitor pins, follow some users on your niche, visit others pin images, search for related
term keywords on your niche and repin others pin manually. It can help to give a signal to
Pinterest that you're active users.

2.5 Growth Hacks to Increase Pin CTR

Your pin gets an impression, but you don't get enough clicks to your pin. Ideally, for every 100
impressions, you should get one click to your site (CTR 1%). If you see from your Pinterest
analytic that your CTR below 1% means you need to improve your pin image.
Here the best tips and tricks you can implement to improve it.
1) Ensure to create a beautiful pin that can make people stop scrolling. Ugly pins will not have
traffic. If you don't have any graphic design skills, don't worry. I highly recommend using Canva
to create a beautiful pin, and it's FREE to use. Most of the pins on the Pinterest feed are made
using Canva. You can upgrade it to a premium version also to receive unlimited premium
templates, photos, and animations for your pin.
2) Pin in a vertical format to tend to get click: the dimension recommendation, 600 x 900 (2:3)
or 600 x 1200 (1:2)
3) Text overlay with a HOOK: using a bold and clear font, making it easy to read on mobile, and
creating a hook-like arrow pointing or finger or teaser words. I will show an example after this
part.
4) Tease your audience with curiosity: what will they learn, or how will it benefit them? What's
in it for me? For example: If you want to share five tips to save money, only show three points
on the pin image, and the rest of the two points can be found by clicking on the pin.
5) Use eye-catching and attractive fonts: you can download several free fonts from Dafont and
1001fonts, then upload those fonts to your Canva as text overlay on your pin image.
6) Put Hashtags on your pin description: it can help to make your pin being shown as a recent
pin on the home feed.
7) Call to Action (CTA): you can use a faux button on your image (it looks like a button, but it's a
part of the image). Putting a call to action on the faux button or somewhere on the pin image
like see more, read more, click to download, or sign up to encourage people to click.
CASE STUDY: Budgetingcouple.com
Let's take an example of a very successful Pinterest account that drives a huge amount of traffic
to their site, mostly from Pinterest. Budgeting Couple Pinterest account is doing a great job
sending traffic to their site, mainly from Pinterest. Even in the finance niche, which only 4%
interest from all Pinterest users, you can still drive a hundred thousand visitors to your site.

Base on Similiarweb, budgetingcouple.com can drive 100K visitors per month on average.
83% of the traffic source for budgetingcouple.com is mainly coming from social media, Pinterest.
Pinterest is the main traffic

source of budgetingcouple.com

Now, let's see how their pin design looks like that can make them drive huge traffic. If we see
from the pin image design. Most of their Pin is using carrousel images in which people can
swipe left to see other pin images. So each pin will consist of 6 images, don't be afraid. It
doesn't mean you need to create a carousel pin for all your pin images. The thing is, you can
learn how budgeting couple crafts their pin design to drive curiosity.

You can spy the concept of pin images like budgeting couple. Let's evaluate one of their pin
images below, "7 Simple Frugal HABITS of The SUPER RICH" consisting of 6 pins in order.
Pin cover on the left side using different style font format and easy to read. The great point is
there is a small sentence saying, "#3 is borderline genius!" which drives curiosity and teases
people to know more about point number 3 out of 7. It can drive people to click your pin image

or even swipe to the left to see others' pin images, which only exposes tips no. 1-4. The last
image pin containing a call to action (CTA) in the red arrow invited people to click their pin
image to read the full post.
The idea here is to build curiosity and teasing people to click your pin image. It's like make your
pin speaking to the people, "Hey, come to click me here!". You can replicate the strategy from
budgetingcouple with only one image pin. Let's say you shared "7 tips to make money online."
On the pin images, only mention the 4 tips list while the rest of the 3 tips they need to click
your pin image. You can put a call to action like "read more" or "tips #5 make me a lot of
money!." So try to experiment on your pin image to maximize click (CTR) to your pin.
PRO TIP: Pinterest CTR winning number is 1%. Ideally, for every 100 impressions, you aim to get
1 click. If you have 2% CTR, you have a great pin!!
2.6 Do I Need to Focus on Pinterest Group Board?

If you're still new on Pinterest and don't have any group board yet, in that case, my suggestion
is only focusing your effort only 10% on Group Board since Pinterest had been reducing the
distribution of the pin save to the group board in 2018.
It means the group board already lost distribution power on the home feed (smart feed).
Pinterest is currently giving priority distribution to the pin save to your own board rather than
group board, so don't waste your time too much on the group board.
If you want to try a group board to reach additional audiences, I recommend joining a small
group board with few contributors. It's less spammy on the small group board; hence your pin
probability to get engagement is higher and increases your pin distribution on the home feed
(smart feed).
If you want to try joining the group board and see how it can impact your website traffic. Here
the step-by-step guide joining the Pinterest group board.
2.6.1 How to Find a Group Board

You can find a group board using two methods below:
1) Pinterest Search Bar

let's say you want to find "make money online" group board, then type the keyword terms on
the Pinterest search bar → enter, then on the right side of the search bar there is a drop-down
menu, choose boards

2) Pingroupie
The second method you can find group board using pingroupie, it's FREE to use. You can apply
any filter to find the group boards, choose a small group board with few contributors. Your pin
can get better engagement instead of joining a large group board with many contributors. Large
group boards usually spam with many pins. Hence it will hurt your pin score engagement and
reduce your pin distribution on the smart feed.
2.6.2 How to Contact the Group Board Owner

1) Don't send direct messages and comments on Pinterest to request joining the group board,
your account can be suspended due to sending many messages and comments
2) Find the Pinterest group board owner's contact information like email address by checking in
their website.

3) Send a pitch email to the group board owner that you want to become a contributor. You will
need to send many emails to every group board owner and see which ones respond back to
you. Remember, it's a cold pitch email.
4) Please kindly note that the group board owner's acceptance rate can take a long time, maybe
a month or never. Please keep in mind. It's not necessary to join the group board. Here I just
share with you the step to join and contact the group board owner.
PRO TIP: Ensure before applying to join the group board. You have claimed your website on
Pinterest and set up your boards and pins with an optimized keyword. Ensure your Pinterest
account looks legit and in good standing. When you pitched the email to the group board
owner, ensure to include your website link, Pinterest profile URL, and group board link you want
to join. Show them your value, like how many fresh URL pages and the new image you have
created by yourself. Please kindly note that Pinterest is currently giving priority distribution to
the pin save to your own board rather than group board, so don't focus too much on the
group board.
2.7 Engagement Pin vs CTR Pin, which one do you choose?

You can create two version pins on Pinterest: first, the engagement pin to drive repins, and the
second, clickable pin to drive traffic to your site (CTR).
Repin = increase your reach (more exposure to Pinterest users)
CTR (Click Through Rate) = traffic to your site
Here the example of the pin created in two versions, on the left side for getting repins and on
the right side for getting click to a website.
Credit BTOP blog

Which pin do you need to create? You need both pins!
In the end, traffic to our website is the main goal. We need an Infographic pin to push our Pin
getting repin and widening its reach to get more impressions from Pinterest users. We need a
clickable pin also to convert as many eyeballs into traffic to our site.
PRO TIP:
Pins Designed for Traffic: Create curiosity, grabbing attention, withhold some information, and
call to action (CTA), so users want to click through your pin. CTA example: read more, see more,
see the steps, watch how, start now, sign up.
Pins Designed for Repinning: Create a valuable infographic for the reader without having to
click through
Note: You don't need to do this for every pin, and it won't be necessary for every pin
2.8 What kind of pin getting priority in distribution?

Pinterest gives priority pin distribution to the pin linked to a claimed website (verified domain)
instead of a pin linked to a third-party site like Amazon or an affiliate website. It means if you
want to promote an affiliate product on Pinterest. You will get better distribution by promoting
your blog link, which contains an affiliate offer, instead of directly promoting an affiliate link.
Pinterest is also pushing video pin distribution on the smart Feed (Pinterest home page) as we
know that currently, Pinterest approved video pin faster within hours or one-day maximum.
2.9 What Niche on Pinterest Bring the Most Traffic?

Please kindly keep in mind that not all Pinterest niche will bring you huge traffic to your
website. Different niches have a different audience size on Pinterest. Hence, it will determine
how much traffic you can get. If your niche has a large audience size, you will have a greater
chance to monetize your blog using ad placement like Google Adsense, Monumetric, and
Mediavine.
You may be wondering how to check the audience size of your niche on Pinterest? Well, you
need to ensure that you already have a Pinterest business account, go to the Analytics tab →
audience insights, set your Audience Insights page to All Pinterest users. Here the results you
will get.

As you can see, categories and interests for home décor, diy & crafts, recipes, fashion, health,
and fitness have large audience sizes (above 30%). If you create a website related to that niche,
you can attract huge visitors to your site since more than 30% of all Pinterest users are
interested in that niche. It means you can maximize your potential earnings to your blog
through ad placement.
2.10 What if my Pinterest Niche Audience Size Small?

Now, let's see another niche with a small audience size on Pinterest, like Finance (4%) and
Children's Fashion (3%). If your blog in finance or children's fashion, your site's traffic potential
will not as large as home decor, recipes, and fashion niche. But, it doesn't mean you will STOP
and FORGET Pinterest Marketing. Instead, you can still monetize on smaller traffic volume (not
in a million page views but around hundreds of thousands) with a high-ticket affiliate program
and your own products, so the potential earning on finance niche is also good since most of the
sales will be from affiliate offers.
You can still monetize your finance blog with ad placement, but the earning can't be compared
to big niches like home décor, recipes, fashion, fitness, and health. FYI, many bloggers in the
finance niche successfully drive traffic to their blog and earn a bunch of money. So, don't feel
afraid to promote on Pinterest, even the audience size is small.

PRO TIP: Another great tip you can implement to expand your niche is by creating content cross-
related to other niches. Let's say you're in the finance niche. Even though the audience size only
4% of Pinterest users, it doesn't mean you can't tap into other areas like home décor, frugal
living, traveling, food, and DIY Furniture. For example, you can write content like traveling on a
budget, which still on a traveling niche but from a personal finance touch. The same rule applied
to DIY furniture on a budget and budget-friendly meal plan. Using this strategy, you can expand
to other niches and tap the larger audience size on Pinterest.
2.11 If I Have a Lifestyle Blog with Different Niches, How was The Pin Distribution?
If you have a lifestyle blog with different niches like home décor and finance. Pinterest will give
more distribution to the pin that brings traction. In this case, your home décor pin will perform
better than your finance pin because the home décor niche audience is bigger than the finance
niche audience. Your pin for the home décor niche will get more impressions and clicks. Then
Pinterest will start showing your pin and profile to even more people interested in home décor.
You will build home décor followers even more on your Pinterest profile. Then, as a result, your
finance pin will get lower engagement since your followers will be expecting home décor
content from you.
So it will be better if your Pinterest account is focused on one niche, you will have a better
standing content for your Pinterest followers. Hence your pin will keep having a good
engagement score, which will make your pin even more distributed to other Pinterest users.
The best suggestion is to separate the Pinterest account for the home décor and finance topic.

3. INSTAGRAM
Instagram is one of the biggest social media network, which has more than 1 billion active users. The
content you can provide on Instagram is not limited to beautiful and attractive photos to drive traffic.
Many accounts like meme pages can drive traffic by only sharing funny post images, videos, quotes, or
quality information. So the opportunity is huge for you, no matter if your niche category can't show
awesome Instagram post pictures.
3.1 Instagram Algorithm

Before we start the strategy session to drive traffic from Instagram, it will be good to
understand the basic fundamental of the Instagram algorithm to understand what kind of
marketing effort you need to maximize your reach base on the algorithm.
According to Instagram, the Instagram algorithm for feed post demand three key factors:
1) Interest
Your Instagram feed shows the content based on your past behavior, like the account you
follow, comment, like, and engage with the account. The more Instagram think you "like", the

higher it will appear in your feed. That's why it is important to keep consistent on your niche
content and use relevant hashtags. Deliver quality content so that followers want to see your
content.
2) Relationship
Instagram will prioritize feed posts based on the account you have most engage with, so you
need to include CTA on your post to increase the engagement so your post will keep showing to
your audiences.
3) Timeliness
If you post when your followers are online, you will get a higher chance of getting engagement.
The most recent content will be shown rather than the old content. So, you need to posting
consistently also for stories.
PRO TIP: you can use Tailwind to schedule your post and stories at the best time when your
audience is most engaged. Tailwind is an official Facebook partner badged for community
management. It's 100% safe to use
3.2 What is The Metrics Affecting Feed Ranking

According to Instagram, the most important metric affecting feed ranking will be the post's
engagement, such as likes, comments, views, and reshares (repost). This means you need to
ensure to create engaging and quality content for your followers
How about Instagram stories? It's the same as Instagram posts. The more engaged your
followers with your stories, like viewing stories on a certain account, the more it will be shown
up at the front of the feed. Hence, it's important to post Instagram stories consistently.

3.3 How Instagram Algorithm Works on The Explore Page

Instagram only shows your post to 5-10% of your followers, so not all your followers will see
your post and stories. That's why you want to have a chance for your post to hit the Instagram
explore page to reach people outside of your followers.
The key secret of hitting explore page is getting more likes and comments. Please kindly keep in
mind that not all likes have equal power. If all the likes are coming from the bot account, those
likes will be useless in the eyes of Instagram. It will not help to boost your post to explore page.
The case will be different if a high authority Instagram account with followers > 50K likes your
content. This is what we called as powerlikes since it's coming from the high authority
Instagram account with high followers. It can help to boost your post to the explore page. This
concept is the same as getting a backlink for Google SEO. If a high-authority website backlink to
your site. It will increase the domain authority of your website. The more followers who like
your post and comment, the higher your chance to hit explore page.
High Authority Instagram Account Likes (Followers > 50K) → powerful boost to hit explore
page
Bot Instagram Account Likes (Followers < 100) → useless
More Likes and Comments from Followers → increase your chance to hit explore page
3.4 How Engagement Group Work to Help Boost your Post

We know that the more likes and comments you receive, the higher possibility your post will hit
explore page. This is how the engagement group will come to help you. There are two types of
groups: the high-quality group with followers >10K and a low-quality group that doesn't need
minimum followers.
When you just started your Instagram page, you will join a low-quality group like Boost Up
Social telegram group to help boost your post, which doesn't require minimum followers, keep
in mind that not all likes will have equal powers. Most likely, the people on the free telegram
group will not have large followers. So, in this case, getting power likes from a free group will
have a smaller chance, but it can still help to boost your post as long as you try to collect as
many likes and comments.

One of the cons of using the free group engagement that your post is getting likes and
comments from the people who are not interested in your content (artificially). So, in this case,
your post boosted inorganically, you're not reaching targeted followers who love your content.
Instead, you're like reaching a broad audience that less likely will not engage with your content
(no quality engagement).
3.5 Instagram Best Strategy: Step by Step Guide

First, ensure to convert your Instagram page into an Instagram business by connecting your
Instagram account with your Facebook Fanspage. You can access the Instagram audience
insight feature by converting it to a business page.
After successfully converting your Instagram to businesses page, here is the step by step you
can follow to start driving free traffic to your IG page.
3.5.1 Crafting Instagram Bio

Before you start creating content, the first thing you need to do is make your Instagram bio
page ready to attract visitors who come to your page. Let's break down how you should crafting
Instagram bio properly. We will see Instagram account @entreprenuershipfacts as an example.
3 2

1) Use a good profile picture, if you're brand or company, show logo as a profile picture. If you
use a personal account, use your profile picture to see your face to create trust and
credibility.
Note: If you're looking for an affordable and talented logo designer for your blog or business,
I highly recommend you to outsource logo designer on Fiverr.
2) Optimize your Instagram bio with a keyword. It can increase your chance to be founded on
your followers' followers who follow similar accounts. In this case, @entreprenuershipfacts
uses the keyword Business|Mindset|Motivation.
3) Ensure to choose the category that fit your page, Category: Entrepreneur.
4) State your IG page, so followers know what your Instagram page is talking about. In this
example, @entrepreneurshipfacts uses the statement "want financial freedom? It starts
with the mindset".
5) Put Instagram bio link. You can put your website URL link here or an affiliate link.
Note.: If you haven't started your blog. I highly recommend you start a blog with Bluehost.
It's the best web hosting with super cheap hosting for someone who just started a blog.
Bluehost also gives you a one-year FREE domain.
6) Create Instagram stories that highlight your best stories; it helps to know more about your
Instagram account and build trust.
3.5.2 Building Instagram Aesthetics
Creating Instagram content doesn't mean you need to have nice photos, especially if your niche
is not about foods, traveling, photography, etc. Like in this case, @entrepreneurshipfacts using
quotes as their content. When people come to the @entrepreneurshipfacts page, they know
that this page shares entrepreneurship by only seeing the post from the first impression.
Building Instagram aesthetics need to be consistent. In this case, @entreprenerushipfacts
consistent and cohesive, making quotes and sharing tips about entrepreneurship. Here are
several tips for creating good Instagram Aesthetics.
-Consistent color scheme: it can make your brand's core color prominent, making your
Instagram post stand out.
-Experimenting with your grid layouts: you can break one post photo into nine grid posts to
make your Instagram page stand out.
-Using great font and typography: good font will make your post looks great especially if you
post inspiring quotes.
-Applying border on your post: it will make your post stand out. Apply it consistently.

Those quotes posts about are what we called an Instagram mood board. The most important
thing when building your Instagram feed aesthetic is cohesive and consistent.

3.5.3 Creating Captions for Instagram Post

The Instagram post photo makes people stop scrolling, and captions create a connection. Here
are the top tips for structuring a good Instagram caption:
1) Create a HOOK at the first sentence, which is the most important to make people want to
read it.
If the first sentences

have a great HOOK,
people will be curious
to read the caption by
clicking “more”
2) Create a meaningful caption. Don't just put an emoji-like meme account

3) Write a caption for the audience (about them), is not about you. You will need to grab their
emotion like fear and gain.
4) Write an engaging caption with a call to action (CTA) at the end, such as tag friends, likes,
comments, repost or click the link in bio.
PRO TIP: put spacing for each section (each section max two lines to make people's eyes easy to
read). You can use the Instagram line break generator (FREE) to create an empty break line. If
you want to generate a different font style on your Instagram caption, you can use Lingo Jam

(FREE) and a little bit of emoji on your caption.
3.5.4 Hashtags Selection Strategy and Research

Hashtags are important. It can help to make your post discoverable on Instagram search. Here
is the rule of thumbs:
1) Ensure to put hashtags on your caption or comments. Use 25 hashtags maximum per post
You can put hashtagas on

the comment section also
2) Use relevant hashtags with your niche, if you're in a finance niche, don't use fitness hashtags
3) Ensure to select the hashtags relevant to your Instagram post content
4) Avoid using super large hashtags size like above 50M, a high competition to rank
5) Avoid using hashtags that are too small, like below 5K, not enough search
6) Diversity your hashtags size in one post small (5K-10K), medium (10K-50K), and large (> 50K)
7) You can perform hashtags research free using All Hashtag
8) PRO TIP: rotate the hashtags variation to avoid being marked as spam by Instagram. You can
create several groups of hashtags and rotate them on your Instagram posts.
9) Avoid using banned hashtags, you can check your hashtags whether it was banned hashtags
or not through IQ Hashtags

3.5.5 Utilizing and Optimizing Instagram Stories

1) Create Instagram stories highlight for your best stories content; it will be like an introduction
to new followers about your account.
2) Adding caption on your IG stories if it in video form, most people watch Instagram stories
with audio turn off (mute)
3) Utilizing Instagram stories features to engage with your followers like questions, poll, quiz
and scale feature
4) Monitor your Instagram stories metric. One of the indications that your followers like your
content click back metric, if you have a higher number for this metric, means your followers
rewatch the stories because they like it.
3.5.6 Posting Consistently and Create Quality Content
You will need to keep posting consistently for Instagram posts and stories. You can set the
frequency of the posting. It depends on your capability in generating the content. If you can
only afford to create two Instagram posts per week, make it consistent two posts every week,
The name of the game is consistency.
CONTENT IS KING
CONSISTENCY IS QUEEN
PRO TIP: If you're busy and can't post your Instagram post and stories at a specific time and
date. Then, I recommend you use Tailwind to manage and schedule your Instagram post and
stories. Tailwind will also give you recommendation best-time to post and hashtags
recommendation. Tailwind is an Official Facebook Partner, so it's 100% safe to use. Grab your
Tailwind free trial here.
Besides posting consistently, you will need to create quality content that makes people want to
share your content and invite their friends to follow your account. Quality matters a lot in
growing your Instagram account, which can impact the website traffic.

3.5.7 Follow, Unfollow, Likes, Comment, and Repost

The last thing you need to do to get free traffic to your website from Instagram is promoting
your account. You can simply follow the competitor's followers, comment on their post, and
unfollow it three days later manually without automation software.
You can also comment on the top posts on the explore page relevant to your niche. Your
comment may become top comments (getting many likes and reply), which can boost your
Instagram profile visits. Some people who see the top comments section will come to check
your Instagram profile. If they like your content, they will follow you and click your bio link
(website traffic). Here an example of top comments on one of the @Fashionnova (fashion
brand) posts.
Becoming top
comments on related
Instagram page can
give a boost to your
Instagram page
profile and bring
traffic to your site
If you want to use an Instagram automation tool, either cloud base or manual bot to follow,
unfollow, likes and comment. I am not recommending it if your Instagram account still new 1-3
months. It will risk your Instagram account.

3.6 Growth Hack: Expanding your IG Reach

You can expand and maximize your reach by creating several Instagram account. This strategy
required you to have multiple Instagram account and grow it organically. Instead of only
focusing on one Instagram account to grow, you will also spread your effort to grow other
Instagram accounts. Let's see an example of an Instagram account below using this strategy to
monetize by selling digital products.

These Instagram account @thelovehealer, @wokespiritual, @spiritual_goddess,

@spiritually_alligned, and @innerspiritual are promoting the same link. Not only that, all
those accounts posting the same contents. The idea is they just need to create one content and
spread it out to other's accounts or repurpose the content with only small editing like changing
the background colors on Canva. The content type is just a sentence with different background
colors, as shown in the picture below. It's really smart strategy to produce content with low
effort.
Here are the benefits of using this strategy:

1) Increasing the possibility of your account to be found on the Instagram search bar by
optimizing the bio with a different keyword
2) Cross promoting each account by tagging each account on the caption posts to grow the
followers base
3) Maximize the possibility to reach explore page to tap new audiences with a different account
4) Leverage your free traffic on the Instagram platform by collecting the traffic from a different
account
Note: if you want to use this strategy, your time and effort need to focus on an Instagram
platform only since you will need to handle several accounts. The content itself is just copying to
others' accounts or repurpose with small editing.

4. QUORA
Quora is a hidden gem that is still overlooked by a lot of business owners and marketers. Quora
delivers quality traffic to your site with a high conversion rate since people on that platform
actively seek the answer to their questions. Quora is like a giant forum. If they found your
answer resonates with them, most likely they will click your website link or even checking your
Quora profile. It's completely targeted FREE traffic to your site. The only thing we need to be
careful when driving traffic from Quora is the risk of our account getting banned. To keep your
Quora account safe, you will need to follow step by step guidance below.
4.1 Quora Best Strategy: Step by Step Guide

1) Create an excellent Quora bio and looks professional: Talk a little bit about yourself and put
your website URL link on your Quora profile. You can see what Flavian Mwasi did. Note: Don't
put an affiliate link on your Quora profile

2) Answering two types of questions: Quora's latest question and popular question
Latest question: typing the quora topic you want to answer on the Quora search bar. Then sort
the time to past days and past weeks on the Quora page's bottom to answer the newest
questions.
Rule of Thumb: Ideally, you want to answer the question, which has a ratio answer: followers =
1:7. But, don't strict to this rule. Basically, this magic formula telling us to answer question with
highest view (high follower) and least answer. You can find this ratio usually on the newest
question that gets the most attention and least competition.
Popular Question: You may also answering the popular question with high followers to test
which one will bring you more traffic to your site. When you answer the question with high
followers, they will receive email notification of a new answer. You will need to join an
engagement group on Facebook to help upvote your answer when answering popular questions.

3) PRO TIP: Check Quora Question Ranking on Google.

You have learned that you need to answer the newest and popular question. Here other super
PRO TIP that can help to boost your answer by getting many views. It would be best if you
combined this PRO TIP into your strategy.
You will need to find a Quora question that ranks on Google because 72% of Quora traffic is
mostly coming from Google Search. It means you need to check the question you want to
answer on Google first, whether shown on the Google top 10 search results. If not then, you
can skip to another question. Combine this method by answering the newest. Simple but super
powerful to maximize the eyeball on your answer.
Let's see the example for the keyword "How to start a podcast on Spotify" on Google search
page results.

As you can see from the picture above, that Quora question "How to start a podcast on
Spotify" rank on Google, it only has six answers, which is a very good chance for you to stand
out.
Next, you will need to check on Google Keyword Planner also how much the volume search for
that question, as we can see that volume search for that question is 1K-10K, which is huge! The
great thing is Quora already ranked that question on Google search because Quora has high
domain authority. So, targeting questions that rank on Google can bring you huge organic
traffic to your answer! Ensure to research the question first on Google before Answer it.
Note: To use the Google Keyword Planner FREE feature, you need to create a Google Ads
account and add your billing information. Even though you're adding your credit card
information, you will not be charged unless you're purchasing ad placement.

If you want to find more question ideas related to the topic niche, in that case, I highly
recommend using the Answerthepublic tool to generate question ideas that people are asking
on the internet. You can get so many question ideas that you can validate on Google search to
check whether Quora rank the questions or not.
It's really helpful to use Answerthepublic to figure out a question that we even haven't think
about. Here is the example of using the keyword "Spotify Podcast" resulting in 35 questions
that people usually ask on the internet. You can leverage this tool to find the questions from
Quora that rank on Google! Pretty cool.

PRO TIP: You can also use paid SEO tools like SEM Rush which provide 7-day free trial to find
Quora question that rank on Google search, just research for the Quora.com website using the
SEM Rush tool and filter the keyword topic on your niche, then you will find all the questions
from Quora, which is rank on Google search and bring so much organic traffic.
Don't try to find the question manually on Google without tools like Answerthepublic. It will be
time-consuming and not worth it. Also, the questions which are rank on Google have many
answers, so you need to be standout and get an upvote from the engagement group to help
boost your answer.
4) Adding a Link to your Answer to Get traffic

You need to follow strict rules to ensure your Quora account will not be banned. Here the rule
of thumb you need to follow:
First Week: answer 1-3 questions every day without putting any link to your answer (no link on
your answer, if you're new to Quora for one week)
Second Week: For every five questions answer, you can put one answer link back to your site,

while the other four questions don't put any link. Here the PRO TIP you can do by following this
Quora user strategy enables Flavian Mwasi to reach millions of views every month from Quora.
PRO TIP: at the footer part of your answer, you can encourage the reader to visit your Quora
profile. In this case, you have optimized your Quora profile with several destinations link to your
site as Flavian Mwasi did. Since the reader is interested in your answer, they will check your
profile and see some links that they're interested in clicking. Then you get free traffic from
Quora to your site.
Footer Example 1: snapshot from Flavian Mwasi Quora answer

Footer Example 3: another grey hat technique on the footer answer can be linked to our quora
profile like a snapshot from Flavian Mwasi Quora's Answer. You will receive higher CTR to your
bio link using this technique, for sure, it's safe on Quora because we're not sending traffic out
from Quora.
Using this method, you have less risk of getting banned since you didn't spam link to your site
for every answer. You will be allowed by Quora to put a footer on your answer if you provide a
long blog post with structure answer format and the footer no more than three lines long,
including blank lines
So the beauty of this strategy, you can put several blog pages on your Quora profile like
reviewing specific affiliate products page, promoting your product or services page, collecting
an email list (opt-in page), and your social media channel. You can see from Flavian Mwasi
Quora's profile, which contains many links.

Imagine if you have organized a link for every blog post topic on your Quora profile, the reader
will be interested in clicking and reading your blog content. The reader was responding well.
Hence Flavian Mwasi put so many links because different people have different interests. If
you're promoting a specific affiliate product, you can put a blog post link promoting that
affiliate product on your Quora profile. So whenever someone is interested in your answer
about the affiliate product, they will come to your profile after reading your footer and then
click on a blog link explaining the affiliate product.
Do this strategy in the long run. Your Quora account should be safe from any banned activity
because you provide so much value with a minimum external link on your answer.

5) Create an answer template for every question on Google docs or Ms. Word
Creating an answer template for every question on Google docs or Ms. Word will help you to
answer questions similar to each other by just editing from the template questions. Changing or
rewording the paragraph will be enough to avoid your answer is hidden by Quora. Using this
method can fasten your process to answer similar Quora question. Ensure not to copy-paste
the same answer to a new question because Quora will hide your answer. Besides, saving your
answer on Google docs and Ms. Word is a best practice to back up your answer.
4.2 What will be the best approach to answer Quora with a link to our site?
The current best approach to answer on Quora with a link to your site will be for every five
questions you answered:
a) 1 post answer with a direct link to your site
b) 4 post answers with a footer at the end of the answer (without a link) encouraging the
reader to check your Quora profile, which contains several links.
4.3 Best Tips and Tricks Answering Quora to Drive Traffic

1) Answering the newest questions (75%) and popular questions (25%), the ratio will be 3:1
2) Answering a question like writing a blog post: long structure format, contain images, bullets,
and provide value (no short answer).
3) Your Answer must be independent. The reader can get the answer without having to leave
Quora. Only link to your blog if it is necessary for your answer.
4) If you have a question you want to answer but don't know the answer, you will need to find
the answer first on Google and then rewrite the answer with your twist.
5) Don't duplicate the answer. You need to make some adjustments to your answer if you
answer a similar question.
6) Never put an affiliate link on your answer, including the Fiverr link. Your answer will be
deleted by Quora or banned.
7) Adding an image at the beginning of your answer as grabbing attention, so whenever people
scroll down the answer, they see something different and stop scrolling. The opposite thing, if
all the answer contains an image at the beginning, don't add an image to make yourself
different.
8) Only post one link to the external website for every five questions answer. The rest of the 4
answers don't link to the website, and use the footer section to encourage the reader to check
your Quora profile, which contains several blog topics.

9) Trying to answer other topics out of your niche, if you're in a finance niche, try to answer
other topics like life motivation and entrepreneurship. You can reach a new audience interested
in your blog topic on your Quora profile.
4.4 Another Best Practice Driving Traffic to Your Site Effectively with Quora
1) You will need two Quora accounts to implement this strategy:
The first account (dummy account) will ask the main question related to your niche, and the
second account (your main account to drive traffic) will answer the main question with a link
to your site.
2) Then, you will link to that main question from within other answers. This way, instead of
putting links in every answer to their site, which can potentially ban your account, you're still
funneling people towards a different answer that has a link to your main question, which
contains a link to your site.
3) You can also combine this strategy with a footer method to invite the reader to check your
Quora profile, which contains links to several pages of your site.

5. Youtube
Youtube has been growing significantly in terms of active users. It was a great place to drive
free organic traffic to your site or offers. Youtube is currently becoming the second largest
search engine in the world. There is so much traffic coming. You will need to jump into the
bandwagon of Youtube free traffic by starting your Youtube channel. If you feel shy to show
your face in front of the camera, don't worry! You can still make a very successful Youtube
channel even without showing your face. Here, we will break down all the strategies and step
by step; you need to crush it on Youtube.
5.1 Understanding Youtube Ranking Factors
1) Video Title, Description, and Tags: It's important to perform proper keyword research for
your video title and description, or your video will not be found on Youtube search. We will
discuss Youtube keyword research in-depth later in the next section.
2) Video Engagement: It's important for the viewers to engage in your video; hence you will
need to ask your viewers to like, comment, share, and subscribe if they like your video content.
Another strategy to increase video engagement is through a giveaway by requesting the

viewers to put like and comment. You can use this strategy if you have a budget.
3) CTR: create an engaging and curious thumbnail, so people want to click it, it will tell Youtube
that your video is attractive for the audience and make Youtube recommend it.
4) Youtube View Velocity: is the speed at which your video receives more views and is
measured over a period of 72 hours. In order to boost your video view at the beginning,
especially when you just started a Youtube channel without having subscribers, you will need to
cross-promote your video externally outside, like on Quora, Forum, Pinterest, IG, and Facebook
Group.
5) Watch Time & Retention
The longer the watch time will make Youtube think that your video-interested, and Youtube will
suggest your video on other Youtube channels. The retention rate is also affecting Youtube
ranking. It means your video is interested which makes people rewatch it again.
5.2 What Kind of Video Youtube Algorithm Want?

Youtube algorithm looking for new fresh video and consistency. If you can't post video
consistently, at least you can rank your video for a fresh content video for the specific long-tail
keyword to reach new subscribers. Let's deep dive into each of them.
1) Fresh Video Content

Since Youtube algorithm is looking for a new video, it demands us to upload a new fresh video
for the specific focus long-tail keyword. So, you can do an observation check manually on
Youtube search for the focus keyword you want to rank. If you see that most of the video
already two years ago, which is considered old content. There is a higher chance for you to beat
that old Youtube video rank with your focus long-tail keyword.
Let's see an example below for the keyword"how to make a girl fall for you without talking to
her". As can be seen from the picture below that most of the video already 2 years olds, so it's a
great opportunity for you. Basically, the average age of one-year-old is already good enough,
but you want to be guaranteed to rank if the average age is two years

Most of the video already

old more around 2 years,
this is a great chance for
you to rank with that long
tail keyword with fresh
new video
You can install the free VidIQ chrome extension also to check the"average age" of the long-tail
keyword you want to rank. Let's see the keyword results above, "how to make a girl fall for you
without talking to her" on the VidIQ report on the right side of your screen that shows the
average age of the keyword already 22 years is too old. The older the average age of the long
tail keyword, the higher chance for you to rank.

2) Posting Video Consistently

The second thing that needs to be considered for Youtube to keep showing your video to your
subscriber is to post videos consistently. You will need to post a Youtube video every 7 days
maximum because Youtube will stop showing your video if your subscriber didn't watch your
video within 7 days or more.
That's why the more consistent you upload a new video every week will help to grow your
Youtube channel faster rather than rarely upload the video like 3 weeks once. Consistency is
the key. This is also clear that Youtube traffic will not like Google SEO, which can stay for a long
run without having to create a new blog post. In Youtube, you need to keep posting a new
video to your subscribers actively.
If you don't have the capability to create a new video every week due to a busy time, it's fine.
Don't worry. This is just one of the algorithm factors that you can consider. You can still rank
your video to reach new subscribers. Your subscriber for sure will not forget about you. Some
of them will come back to watch your new video, so ensure you deliver great content video.
5.3 Understanding Youtube Traffic Sources

Youtube traffic sources can be divided into fives:
1) Youtube Search
Youtube search is the best traffic source if you just started a Youtube channel. You need to
perform keyword research for your video title by targeting high-volume search and low
competition keywords to acquire the traffic. Search traffic coming from the viewers
searching for the specific queries can bring you a new subscriber to your channel.

2) Youtube Suggested Video

Suggested video is also a great traffic source that you need to hijack to be featured on it. The
key to getting traffic from the suggested video is having a good thumbnail video and
engaging video title to drive CTR to your video. The traffic from the suggested video is a mix
of your current viewer and new audiences. We will discuss the strategy later on how to
hijack the suggested traffic.
Suggested
Video Section

3) Youtube browse features

Youtube browse feature will show your video on other people's Youtube home page. It's a
traffic booster for you since it appears on the home page. People will see your video's
thumbnail and watch your video. You don't have to do any keyword research to be featured
on the Youtube browse page. When yor video already started getting views and engagement
from search traffic and suggested sections, your video will be shown on browse pages. The
traffic from the browse features can bring you new subscribers to your channel.
4) Youtube External Traffic

Youtube external traffic can be coming from a website outside youtube. One of them is
coming from Google, in which Youtube video was sometimes shown and recommended on
Google search.

You can also drive the traffic to your video from other social media like Instagram, Facebook,
Quora, and Pinterest. Driving external traffic to your new upload video can increase the
velocity views on your video, which can help boost your video to a wider audience. External
traffic for sure will bring you new subscribers to your channel.

5.5 Youtube Best Strategies: Step by Step Guide

Let's break down the framework strategy step by step to acquire free traffic from Youtube.
When you just started on Youtube, you don't have any subscribers and views yet. Hence, the
best thing you can do to get your video found by people and getting views is to focus on search
traffic and suggested video. Let’s break down the step by step in a nutshell and the reason
behind it. Overall there are four-step to kickstart your free traffic from Youtube.
Note: We will break down each step strategy in detail in the next section. Here we only
summarize all the step by step, the detailed strategy will be deep dive further on the next
section.
Step 1: Keyword research
You will need to perform keyword research by targeting high volume search keywords with low
competition for your Youtube video. By utilizing the right keyword, you will get search traffic.
You will keep performing keyword research to get search traffic to your Youtube video until
your subscriber more than 25K. Then, after your subscribers passing 25K, you can freely
experiment with your video title with your keyword choice.
Step 2: Finding Trending Video on Your Niche
The other traffic source you can hijack when you just started your Youtube channel is the
suggested traffic section. The first step you need to do is to find trending videos on your niche
to hijack the traffic at the suggested section. Hijacking the traffic in the suggested section will
make your video getting views and bring new subscribers.
Step 3: How to Hijack Youtube Traffic on Suggested Section

After finding the trending video on your niche, the next step is to upload your video by copying
the title and tags from the trending video. So, Youtube will think that your video is similar to the
trending video; hence your video will be shown in the suggested section. Kindly note that you
need to modify your video title slightly different from the trending video title.
Uploading your video by optimizing search traffic and suggested sessions will make your video
getting views. If your video content was great and getting good engagement. Then, Youtube will
start showing your video on the home page and getting browse traffic.
Step 4: Increase Your Velocity View

After uploading your video using search traffic and suggested traffic method. You can cross-
promote your video to boost your views per hour (velocity view) through other social media
like Quora, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. The higher the VPS (Views per Hour) number,
the more Youtube thinks your video content was good, it will be recommended by Youtube.
PRO TIP: Adjust your video title to become attractive and stand out. Avoid spammy and clickbait
title. Ensure you have the keyword from trending video on your video title

5.6 Youtube Keyword Research

Keyword research is important before you decided to create your Youtube video. Your video
content will be based on the keyword you want to target if you’re new on Youtube. The rule of
thumb is simple, you will need to ensure that you’re using low competition keywords with
decent volume search to get search traffic. So, do keyword research if you want to get
Youtube search traffic! Youtube Keyword research will be consist of two main parts: generating
and validating keyword ideas.
5.6.1 Generating Keyword Ideas

1) Google Suggestion Bar
You may be asking why we need to find keyword ideas from Google for Youtube keyword
research. The idea is to find the top search keyword from the Google suggestion bar, those
keywords will most likely be typed on Youtube, or even you will find out that Youtube video
also ranks on Google. So, don’t underestimate the Google suggestion bar. It’s universal to any
platform. When you type your primary keyword “how to make pizza”, Google will show you
additional secondary keyword suggestions like “dough, sauce, at home, dought without yeast,
etc.
PRO TIP 1: Another cool trick to generate a more long-tail keyword idea for the primary
keyword “how to make pizza” is by adding “(space)_” characters at the end of the primary
keyword. The keyword term “how to make pizza _” will show another secondary keyword ideas,
which is different from the above example like “how to make pizza at home without oven” and
“ how to make pizza sauce at home”

PRO TIP 2: The second cool trick to generate a more long-tail keyword idea for the primary
keyword “how to make pizza” is by adding the underscore (_) character between “ how to
make” and “pizza.” It will show the most common search phrases between “ how to make” and
“pizza” keywords. Here you will get completely different long-tail keyword ideas by only adding
“_” at the middle of the phrase.

2) Keyword Shitter
Keyword shitter is a free website that can help to generate keyword ideas from your primary
keyword. It will show you the long tail keyword suggestion from your primary keyword. You
just need to click “Shit Keywords!” to start getting keyword ideas and then click “Stop Job”
once done. All the keyword ideas generated can be copy to the Google suggestion bar to
generate more keyword ideas.
3) Youtube Suggest Feature

You can find keyword ideas from Youtube's suggested feature bar. Let’s say you type the
primary keyword for “how to make pizza” then Youtube will show you several secondary
keywords like “at home, dough, sauce, without oven at home, etc.”

You will realize that the keyword suggestion looks the same as the one suggested from the
Google search bar. You can implement the same trick as Google's suggestion keyword
technique to generate more keyword ideas like applying space and underscore ( _) characters
at the end of the primary keyword or putting the underscore between.
Note: don't use other keywords outside that suggestion bar!

PRO TIP: Keyword idea tips you can use as video starter How to, Best, Ways to, Top, [Product]
Tutorial, [Product] Review, Comparison, Cheap, Affordable.
5.6.2 Validating Keyword Ideas
After you have generated all the keyword ideas, it’s time to validate the keyword ideas. You
want to make sure that the keyword ideas you have chosen meet two criteria below:
YOUTUBE KEYWORD IDEAS VALIDATION CRITERIA

1. Low competition keyword with decent volume
2. The keyword could rank smaller channel’s video (Subscribers < 30K)
How to find those two criteria, lets deep dive into each method to validate the keyword ideas you have
collected.
Method 1: Google Keyword Planner

The first method is using Google Keyword Planner. It’s a free keyword research tool from Google. You
can use this feature by registering a Google ads account and add your credit card information. Don’t
worry, you will not be charged unless you’re purchasing ad placement. Login to your Google ads
account and click the wrench icon (Tools & settings) → “Keyword Planner” → “Discover new

keywords” → “Enter your keyword” to check the keyword search volume and keyword
difficulty (competition).
Let’s see for the long tail keyword

“How to make pizza”
set location: worldwide
set language: English
Then, click GET RESULTS

Long Tail Keyword:

“How to make pizza”
Results:
Avg Monthly Searches: 100K-
1M
Keyword Difficulty: Low
PRO TIP: You can use Google Trend also to check the keyword trend, whether it’s sideway, uptrend,
downtrend, or cyclical. Avoid the downtrend keyword ideas.
Method 2: VidIQ Keyword Analysis

The second method to validate the keyword idea is through VidIQ keyword analysis. You can
use VidIQ free chrome extension to see the keyword analysis results on VidIQ. Let’s say you
want to continue your research for the long-tail keyword “How to make pizza.” Typing the long
tail keyword on the Youtube search bar and seeing the results on the right side of the screen.
There is two bar line Volume and Competition as can be seen from the picture below.
Another reference for

keyword validation, trust
Google Keyword Planner
more than VidIQ Keyword
Analysis

Even the keyword competition results were very high. It doesn’t mean you will not use that
keyword. Kindly keep in mind that you need to trust Google Keyword Planner more than VidIQ
Keyword Research because VidIQ is just doing estimation for the volume and keyword
competition. They don’t have access to Youtube and Google databases. It’s just an estimation.
Hence the volume and competition are shown on VidIQ is more likely not accurate. Don’t trust
it completely. Just use it as another reference for your keyword research.
Method 3: Observation Check On Youtube

Even the keyword competition is high base on methods 1 and 2. It doesn’t mean you will not
use that keyword on your video title. You will need to perform an observation check on
Youtube using that high competition keyword and see all the videos shown on Youtube page
one. You will need to check whether there is a video from a smaller channel (Subscriber < 30K)
ranking on your Youtube first page by using those keywords.
Then, you will need to check whether that video has higher views > subscribers. If yes, you can
copy the title and tags from that video to create another video. If you can’t find a smaller
channel from your keyword idea, then move on to another keyword idea.
Please kindly keep in mind this method required you to use a free VidIQ chrome extension, in
which you can check the subscribers of the channel directly vs view counts. Let’s see an
example below for the keyword idea “how to make pizza at home,” here you will find a smaller
channel (Subscribers < 30K) shown on the youtube first page by scrolling down. The channel
name Cook with Nabeel (28.8K Subscribers) getting views 1.1 M, which means the views >
subscribers. It’s a great video!

Next, click on the Cook with Nabeel channel page to ensure that it is dedicated to making food,
not a random video.
Note: It will be better if you can find a dedicated niche channel.
Then, you can sort by “Most popular” on the channel page as can be seen from the picture
below. You can see several foods making videos that have views higher than it’s subscribers.
You can get another keyword idea also about food making videos base on this research. As
usual, you can save the title and tags from that video and modify it slightly different.
Sort the video to “Most Popular”

to find more keyword ideas SORT BY
Let’s see an example below.

Competitor’s video title:
“Best Homemade Pizza Recipe How To Make Pizza At Home Cheese Pizza Margheritta Pizza
Recipe”
Your video title will become:
“How to Make Pizza At Home Meat Lovers Pizza Recipe”
After crafting your video title, you will need to save the tags of that video also. You will then
remove unrelated tags for your video content like “cheese pizza” tags since your video about
“meat lovers pizza.”

PRO TIP: Ensure using incognito browser by signing out any Google account when performing a
keyword search on the Youtube search bar so that Youtube will show you the true picture of the
keyword research results. Since Youtube tends to show personalized and related video channels
that you have watched, If you don’t sign out.
The last thing, don’t forget to toggle ON VidIQ chrome extension in incognito mode, here the
step by step. Go to Incognito browser top right corner with three-dot → More tools →
Extensions.
Click “Details” on the VidIQ Chrome extension.

Then, scroll down to Allow in incognito by turning it ON. You’re done!
5.7 How to Find Trending Video

The second traffic source you can target for the new Youtube channel is hijacked the suggested
traffic section. In order to do that, you need to find trending videos. The question comes to
your mind, how to find the trending video? Kindly note, when you need to find a trending
video, it doesn’t mean you go to the Youtube trending tab. Yes, those all trending videos on
Youtube right now, but it’s not trending in your niche!
You need to find a video related to your niche, which is trending. Here we will deep dive into all
the strategies you can use to find trending videos on a specific niche. Kindly note if one strategy
doesn’t work for you to find trending video on your niche, then simply move on to another
strategy.
Method 1: Using VidIQ Views Per Hour (VPS) Statistic Tab

The first method will require you to use the VidIQ Pro version. Using the VidIQ Pro version will
allow you to perform historical analysis on every video. You will see a historical icon on the
video's left side, as shown in the picture below.

Click Historical icon to

get Views Per Hour
(VPH) graph data
Views Per Hour Graph

Data
You will see that the Views Per Hour (VPS) graph showing an uptrend even the video was
already uploaded five months ago. Let’s see a close picture of the graph data below.
Neglect this graph, it’s just

give you an information
the total views the video
received until now
You only
need to
focus on this
VPS graph

The historical icon from VidIQ Pro version will show you two graphs. The top graph is showing
the total view received from the video. It’s not useful for you to determine whether it is a
trending video or not. But, the second graph at the bottom is what really matters from the
video to know whether it’s trending or not.
If the Views Per Hour (VPS) on average still above 100 to date, then it’s a trending video! It
means the video is still getting 100 views every hour. It doesn’t matter whether the graph
shows a decrease at the current time as long as the video is still getting 100 views per hour at
the end of the downtrend graph. For sure, it still can be classified as a trending video. In this
case, the VPS graph shows an uptrend and has a VPS of around 135, which is a trending video.
Method 2: Comparing Video Views vs Subscribers with VidIQ
The second method will be searching for trending videos from the Youtube search bar with an
incognito mode browser. You will need to toggle ON the VidIQ free version in the incognito
mode browser.
Basically, the keyword idea term you have inputted on the Youtube search bar will show several
videos. Then, filter the video upload date to “This month” and sort by “View count.” Base on
the video results, compare all the video views vs subscribers. If the video views > the
subscribers, then it can be one of the trending video candidates.
Please kindly note that the video views > subscribers doesn’t mean it’s a trending video! You
need to double-check the current Views Per Hour (VPH) of that video. If the VPH still above 100

on average at the current time, it was a trending video. You need to enroll VidIQ pro version to
check the Views Per Hour (VPH) graph.
Use VidIQ
PRO TIP: When using this method, you need to use an incognito browser by signing out your
Google account so that Youtube search results will show you the true results. You can watch
several videos like 5-10 seconds for the video related to your niche, then refresh your Youtube
home page. It will start recommending other videos related to your niche. Then, find the video
with views > subscribers and ensure the VPH still above 100 on average to date.
Method 3: Using VidIQ Trending Video Tab

The third method required you to use the VidIQ Pro version; you can find the Youtube trending
video by entering your long-tail keyword in the Youtube search bar. After that, on the right side
corner of your Youtube page, there is a VidIQ section called “Trending video for this search
term.” These are the trending video collected by VidIQ for your target keywords.

5.8 How to Hijack Youtube Traffic on Suggested Section

You have learned how to find trending videos. Here you will learn how to hijack Youtube traffic
from the suggested section so your video showed up and can be seen by new viewers. Here are
the step-by-step strategies you need to follow to make your video shown in the suggested
section.
1) Find the trending video with historical data Views Per Hour (VPS), which is still above 100 to
date, as seen from the VidIQ historical graph. You can use several methods to find trending
videos from the previous section.
In this case example below, you will find the video views per hour graph below looks stable in
the sideways trend. Even the video already two years old. The average views per hour still
above 100 to date for the video “10 Legit Ways To Make Money And Passive Income Online-
How to Make Money Online”

CLICK HERE
This video even already 2 years

old, still getting views per hour,
around 100 on average to date
If we see the historical graph of views per hour, it looks stable, as shown in the picture below.
Ignore this chart,

CLICK Historical Icon which shows the total
accumulated views on
the video over time
ONLY CARE
about the
VIEWS PER
HOUR graph

Kindly note that you may find others trending video with very high spike views per hour in the
beginning then goes down drastically and become flat graph at the end. As long as the flat
graph still has average views per hour above 100 to date, it’s a good trending video to hijack.
PRO TIP: To show the historical data of Views Per Hour (VPS), you need to use the pro version of
VidIQ, I highly recommend you enroll the VidIQ pro version to benefit from this awesome feature
stalking others trending Youtube video views per hour.
Let’s see another example of a very successful Youtube trending video that still keeps getting
views even after two years old. I was surprised that the views per hour for this video is actually
around 900 views/ hour! If you have a Youtube channel related to that trending video, you can
implement this technique to hijack your video on a suggested section.
Viral video with views per

hour 900 view/hour
2) After finding the target trending video you want to hijack in the suggestion section, you will
need to save the title and tags that trending videos use. On the stats, scrolling down on the
trending video and copy the tags they’re using and paste it on your tags section when uploading
the video. You will then need to delete the unrelated tags from the trending video that are not
suitable for your video content. You can also add new tags related to your video topic.

Copy all the tags

by clicking here
Click Stats and scroll

down to the video
tags section
3) Video Title: you can name your video title using the same keyword as trending video but modify it
slightly based on your video topic. So the title will be slightly different.
4) Video Description: you can put any tags and title keyword from trending video on your video
description and craft them into a paragraph to explain your video content.
5.9 How you Should Craft your Video Content

Youtube video content consists of a three-part intro, main video, and outro.
1) Creating an Effective Video Intro

Here are several tips you can implement for your video intro.
-Opening Statement: you will need to explain to the viewer what your video about
-Video Teaser: you can show a sneak peek of your video at the beginning to attract viewers
-Create Hook: grab the viewer attention at the beginning
-Short animation Intro with Logo: intro video can be 5-10 sec video for branding. You can
outsource on Fiverr to create beautiful and attractive intro and outro video for your channel.

Ahrefs Intro Video

with animation for
branding
PRO TIP: The first video you need to make when creating your Youtube channel is adding a
channel trailer for your viewers, so the viewers who come to your channel page will know more
about your channel. You can explain a little bit about who you are, what’s your channel talking
about, how often you upload a new video, and invite the viewer to subscribe to your channel.

Ensure to put your website link under the “SHOW MORE” button because if we put the link at
the top of the description, it decreases the chance for the video to get views, and Youtube
doesn't like it. It gives Youtube information that our video engagement is low and will not get
recommended by Youtube. By putting the link below “SHOW MORE” button, you may get less
clicks but more quality clicks to your site.

your video content more.
3) Tags: You can put your video title keyword as tags, related tags about your video content, and tags
from competitor videos.
5.12 Short video vs Long video

Which one should you make a short or long video? The answer depends on your video content
and target audience. Let’s see from these two points of view.
Video content: if your video content about a tutorial, you will make a longer video because you
will need to show the step by step, but if your video about sharing a topic or lifestyle, you can
make a short video.
Target audience: If your audience is a teenager, you can make a longer video duration since
they have more time to spend. But, if your content for an adult audience. They may don't have
much time to watch, so the short video may work well.
The best approach is you will mix your video content short and long. Let’s say every 3 or 5
videos, you create a long video to keep the viewer watch longer. The longer they stay (watch
time), the more youtube recommend your youtube video to more audience. The pro side of a
long video can keep the viewer stay watch longer.
PRO TIP: Ensure to engage with the audience at the beginning of the video to keep the viewer
watch your video. You will need to work on your intro video.

6. Google SEO
Google SEO is one of the most rewarding free traffic sources for your site. If you can rank your
keyword on the first page, your site will continue receiving free passive traffic. It's worth being
indexed on the first page of the Google Search Engine Results Page (SERP) regardless of the
effort you need to put into making it work. SEO is simple and should not complicated, like what
others are thinking. It only consists of two major parts On-Page SEO (build content) and Off-
Page SEO (backlink). We will break down all the step by step and strategies for those two.
Before we start, you need to do several important basic things before optimizing the website
for Google SEO.
6.1 Create a Google Search Console Account

The first thing you need to do is create a free Google Search Console account for your website.
You will need this to help you monitor, maintain and troubleshoot your site's presence in
Google Search Results like impression, CTR, and website ranking. So, it's different with Google
Analytics, giving you information about how the user interacts in your site from all sources
(search, social media, direct, or referral).
Even if you don't add your website to Google Search Console, Google will still display your
content on search results. However, you will be missing all those useful insights about your site.
If you have your Gmail account for your blog (website), you can access the Google Search
Console dashboard page. You will then need to add property (+) on the top left side of your
account. Choose the domain on the left side to register your site.

If you're using Bluehost as your Webhosting and use the FREE bonus domain from Bluehost.
You will need to contact Bluehost through chat support to help you input the TXT record from
point number 2 on the picture below. Copy the TXT record on your account and give it (paste
the TXT record) to the Bluehost support team via chat support. They will work fast to help you
put the TXT record on the domain DNS. It's fast to do that, and the Bluehost team very
responsive to help you.

6.2 Install Rank Math plugin

Installing a free Rank Math plugin will help you audit your On-Page SEO. This is the premium
version of the Yoast SEO plugin, but you get it for FREE on Rank Math. It's really useful to
crosscheck the audit checklist from Rank Math on every of your blog post.
6.3 Submit your Site-Map to Google Search Console

After installing the Rank Math Plugin, it's time to submit your sitemap to Google Search
Console. Why do you need to do that? Because you want Google to know about all your
website pages. So, Google can crawl and index your website.
Go to your Google Search Console account and click Sitemaps under the index category as per
the picture below.

Go to your Rank Math menu on your WordPress dashboard menu, then click “Sitemaps
Settings”. On the right side, there will be General, Posts, Pages, Categories, and Tags.
Submit all of the sitemap URL to your Google Search Console by pasting the sitemap link from
Rank Math to Add a new sitemap and click SUBMIT like the picture below.
Submit all these sitemap links to Google Search Console:
-https://ebizstrategic.com/sitemap_index.xml
-https://ebizstrategic.com/post-sitemap.xml
-https://ebizstrategic.com/page-sitemap.xml
-https://ebizstrategic.com/category-sitemap.xml
-https://ebizstrategic.com/post_tag-sitemap.xml

Okay, your preparation is done. Next, we will go to the core framework of On-Page and Off-
Page SEO. Let's jump into each one of them.
6.4 On-Page SEO

The first thing you need to do on your SEO task is optimizing on-page SEO, optimizing your
website to rank specific keywords. So the first thing you have to do before writing your blog
post, you need to find keyword idea you want to rank on Google search page results. Let's
break down the step by step you need to do.
6.4.1 Finding Keyword Idea to Rank

There several free ways to find keyword idea:
1) Google search bar suggestion
Simply go to the Google search bar and type any keyword idea from your mind that you want to
target. If you see the keyword you want to type has several suggestions shown on the search
bar, it’s proof that your keywords have demand in volume search. Example: “How to make
cheesecake” will show recommendation on the suggestion bar “without oven, at home,
without cream cheese, filling, crust, from scratch, etc”

PRO TIP: Another cool trick that you can implement to shown another keyword suggestion from
the Google search bar by adding (space)_, in this case, “how to make cheesecake _” will show
you another keyword ideas which is different like “how to make cheesecake without baking”
and “how to make cheesecake cupcake” as can be seen from the picture below.

2) Google Keyword Planner and Ubersgguest

We will dive deep into Google Keyword Planner and Ubersuggest method on the next section
6.4.3.
3) Keyword shitter
Keyword shitter can help to generate a keyword idea from your primary keyword. Let’s say you
put the primary keyword “how to make a girl fall in love” → press “Start Job”, then keyword
shitter will automatically generate several keywords recommendation for you. You just need to
press “Stop Job” to end it. Then you can download the report.

6.4.2 Focus Keyword Priority to Rank

There is a basic fundamental that you need to understand regarding the keyword priority you
need to rank. Here the keyword priority you need to find and rank it as a beginner:
1. Keyword with High Search Volume and Low Competition (First Priority)
2. Keyword with Low Search Volume and Low Competition (Second Priority)
3. Keyword with High Search Volume and High Competition (If your website has high domain
authority)
4. Keyword with Low Search Volume and High Competition (Don't rank this keyword)
PRO TIP: If you can’t find the keyword with high search volume and low competition, then it’s
better you target many keywords with low search volume and low competition on your blog.
6.4.3 How to Validate The Keyword Idea
There two free methods that you can use to validate the keyword ideas you have collected. You
will need to check the search volume and keyword difficulty of the keyword ideas. Let’s break
down the methods to validate the keyword.
1) Google Keyword Planner

You will need to create a Google Ads account and add your billing information to use the
Google Keyword Planner feature. Even though you're adding your credit card information, you
will not be charged unless you're purchasing ad placement.
Login to your Google ads account and click the wrench icon (Tools & settings) → “Keyword
Planner”
On the next page, click “Discover new keywords”

Then, change the language to “English” and “All locations” (worldwide). Input the keyword
idea you want to check and click “GET RESULTS.”
Input your keyword here
Change location and language
You will get the average monthly searches and keyword competition for the keyword “how to
lose weight fast,” as seen from the picture below that avg. monthly searces 100K-1M with
keyword difficulty High

2) Ubbersuggest
Ubbersuggest is a free website SEO acquired by Neil Patel. The website has been developed
with several new features for helping SEO jobs. You can use Ubbersuggest free to check the
monthly search volume and keyword difficulty through keyword idea features.

Update: Currently, Ubbersuggest has launched their chrome extension, making your job even

but directly from the Google search page.
PRO TIP: you can also use paid SEO tools like SEM Rush which provide a 7-day free trial, you can
spy on competitors' best keywords and see their top pages that bring the most traffic. It’s
precious information for you to get keyword ideas to rank. SEM Rush has the largest keyword
database with 20 billion keyword. It’s well known as #1 Keyword Research tool by hundreds of
experts. I highly recommend you to take the 7-day free trial to utilize the feature on SEM Rush.

After choosing the focus keyword with low competition and decent volume search (100-1K is
good enough). You will need to install a FREE Moz chrome extension to double-check the
website competitor's domain authority on the Google search page for the focus keyword you
want to rank.
You will need to do an observation check on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP), the top 10
competitor website domain authority (DA) using the Moz Bar. Ensure that there is a website
with DA below 35 on the focus keyword you want to rank. Because as a new website your DA
only 1. If you want to rank your site by replacing one of the top 10 positions with your focus
keywords on the search page. You need to ensure there is a competitor website with DA below
35. It will be possible for you to replace their position. Let’s see an example below if I type on
Google with the keyword “how to make a girl fall for you.” Here the results, as can be seen
from the picture below.
You have a chance to

beat this competitor
website DA < 35

We know that there is a big opportunity for us to rank on the Google search page as a new
website (DA = 1) for the keyword “how to make a girl fall for you” as you can see that there is a
competitor website that has Domain Authority (DA) below 35, which is practicalpie.com with
DA = 25.
You will need to target several keywords with low competition and decent volume for your blog
title (H1) and subtitle (H2, H3, and H4). Kindly note that not all subtitles on your blog need to
be optimized with SEO keywords, but try to be flexible. We're writing for human, not for a
robot. So try to make the balance.
PRO TIP: You need to ensure that among the top 10 sites rank on Google SERP using low
competition keywords. There is a competitor website with DA below 35, and It can be a great
chance for you to beat one of them. If all the top 10 websites have DA above 50, forget about
that keyword find another one, you can't compete on that keyword as a new site.
6.4.4 On-Page SEO Stey by Step Guide

Let's take an example we're targeting focus keyword: How to learn SEO step by step. We will
use this focus keyword to do an on-page SEO.
1) Put Focus Keyword on Blog Title (H1)

Ensure to put your focus keyword on your blog title (Heading 1), and you will need to modify
your blog title by including the focus keyword.
Optimized blog title: How to Learn SEO Step by Step in 2021 Easily
Not Optimized blog title: The Complete SEO tutorial Step by Step in 2021
(no focus keyword "How to Learn SEO Step by Step on the blog title)
2) Keep your URL Short

Avoid putting long URL (permalinks), keep it short and simple
Optimized URL: ebizstrategic.com/ how-to-learn-seo
Not Optimized URL: ebizstrategic.com/ how-to-learn-seo-step-by-step-in-2021
3) Meta Description Optimization

Ensure to include your focus keyword on meta description and craft click-worthy words that
can drive CTR to your blog. You will entice the reader to click your blog post on the Google
search page.

Meta Description
4) Avoid Keyword Stuffing for the Focus Keyword

Ensure the keyword density for the focus keyword less than 1% or max 1%, ideally every 100
words, and you only allow to have a focus keyword show up one-time.
5) Focus Keyword in The First 200 Words of Your Post

Include your focus keyword in the first 200 words of your post. This is to let Google know
what's your content about.
6) Use LSI (latent Semantic Index) Keyword

You can put a similar keyword for your focus keyword. It's called Latent Semantic Index (LSI).
You can find the keyword ideas for LSI through LSI Graph. It's free to use. Using LSI can prevent
you from keyword stuffing (unnecessary repeating words or phrases) and help Google
understand your content better.
7) Internal Linking
Ensure to internal linking your blog post to other relevant pages of your blog post. It can help
increase the time spent on your site, great user experience for the reader, and improve your
page rank. Internal linking is overlooked in the world of SEO. It's so powerful to build link juice.
You can create anchor text using an exact match to your other blog post. Anchor text with an
exact match is allowed for internal linking. It's not considered spamming.
Note: Anchor text is a keyword that hyperlink to another page, let's say you hyperlink the
keyword how to save money on your blog post to another page with the blog title How to Save
money. In this case, the anchor text uses an exact match keyword link to the same keyword on
the blog title. It's okay to do that for internal linking only. Please don’t do that for backlinking. It
will be marked as spam by Google.
Rule of Thumb of Internal linking

-Internal linking within one category page or to another top main category page is useful linking
(under one Silo).
-Internal linking from one category page cross to another page under a different main category
page (Silo) is not useful linking.

8) External Linking
Ensure external linking to others' high authority and trustworthy websites, so Google knows
your blog is a reliable and credible source.
9) Image Alt-Text
Ensure to use focus keyword on your featured image alternative text (alt-text), and the rest of
the images can use other relevant keywords alt-text.
10) Write Epic Content

Ensure you create epic content that provides a one-stop-solution blog post that is helpful,
useful, and resourceful. Ensure to make your blog post easy to read by writing a short
paragraph. If you don't have time to write the article and have a spare budget to spend. I highly
recommend you hire a freelance writer from Fiverr to write your blog post. You just need to
provide the blog's writer with the blog title (H1) and subtitle (H2, H3, and H4), which are
already optimized. Hiring a freelance writer can help you produce the content fast, so you just
need to focus on promoting the content.

Spoiler alert: If you want to know which affiliate website is scaling the content by hiring a
freelance writer, you can see the author’s name of the article, if the author’s name of the article
is not the same as the founder of the blog, it means the affiliate website outsourcing the writing
job to a freelancer, one of the affiliate website example is thepeanyhoarder.com,
dollarsprout.com and many more.
Note: On-Page optimization is not only done on your blog post, but it also needs to be done for
the whole of your website category page, about us, and home page.
PRO TIP: You can hijack your site ranking to the top of Google Search Page Results (SERP) by
answering the featured snippets box question, which can be found at the top search page
results. Let's check for the keyword "How to make money online," here the result.

You can create a FAQ section at the end of your blog post to answer those questions (Google
snippets box) or change the heading (H2, H3, or H4) on your blog post to answer the question.
Using this technique, you can hijack your position to zero position at the top of the search page
and get traffic to your site.
6.5 Off-Page SEO

After doing on-page SEO for your blog post, it's time to promote your blog post. You will need
to build a backlink to your site to increase your website authority on Google search, so your
blog post or website ranks on the Google search page. This is the main goal to do the backlink.
Getting backlinks also brings you new visitors to your site, which means bringing new customers
to your business.
6.5.1 Social Signal (Backlink from Social Media)
Install a social share plugin on your websites like Shareaholic or Social Pug so people can share
your article. If your blog post is shared and liked, it means your blog is delivering value and
interesting things. This is a good signal for Google ranking factor, hence building social signals as
a backlink for your site is important.
6.5.2 Guest Post
In this method, you will pitch to the other blogger through email to offer writing a blog post as
a guest on their website and get a backlink to your site. It's hard to cold pitch other bloggers for
guest posting since they don't know you yet. So it's about the number of the game how many
bloggers you reach until you get "YES"
Step by Step and Best Tips for Successful Guest Post

1) Ensure to contact the blogger who has website domain authority (DA) higher than you. You
can check the DA free using MozBar bar chrome extension.
2) Subject email: you will put a bracket about your inquiry [Guest Post], so other bloggers will
know the purpose of your email
3) In the email, you will tell them that you love their blog content and are interested in
contributing to their blog as guest posts.
3) You need to show them some of your epic blog post link, which is delivering value.
4) If you don't receive a response within one week, you will send an email to follow up to check
whether they receive your email.
5) If the Guest Post is already published, thanks to them and ensure it links back to your blog.
The guest post's primary goal is to receive a backlink from a higher authority domain site than
yours.
PRO TIP: Finding and Applying Guest Post

Guest post is not only limited to writing a blog post on others' blogs, but you can also write an

article for the company as a guest post. Most bloggers don't know that there are companies out
there who are actively seeking guest posts. The question is how to find that company?
Simply type in Google "Write for us + [Topic/Niche]," this way, you can find several companies
on Google search page that offering guest post as a contributor. Let's see an example below for
the recipes niche.
It's a huge opportunity for you to be featured on a big authority website and get a backlink to
your site. If the company doesn't allow the backlink, consider it as building brand awareness for
your blog. It will be a useful portfolio for your signature like "I have been featured on the XYZ
website" when you approach other bloggers or HARO (I will explain it later).
6.5.3 Roundup Expert

In the round-up expert, you're Inviting several expert bloggers to be featured on your blog's
roundup expert. You will collect their expert Answer (opinion) for the specific question. Instead
of doing cold guest post pitches that are more difficult to get "YES" answers, you're building a

relationship with other bloggers by asking their point of view and putting their answer on your
blog post. It's easier to get other blogger answers (opinion) to be featured on your blog rather
than pitching for a guest post.
The blog will feature all the expert participants in answering your question, provide a backlink
to their site, and mention their website domain. The roundup objective is your blog will be
shared by other experts and link back to your site. Using this method, you will benefit from
getting a backlink from a website with higher domain authority and doing guest posting with a
higher success rate since you build relationships with other bloggers.
Step by Step and Best Tips for Succesful Roundup Expert

1) Subject email: you can put a bracket on your subject email to point your inquiry [Round Up
Expert Invitation]
2) You can contact the blogger who has domain authority higher than you and use Moz free
chrome extension to check the website's domain authority.
3) You need to explain in the email "What's in it for you?" like mentioning that they will be
featured alongside together with other blogger experts in their niche and also getting a backlink
to their site.
4) Set a deadline to receive their response to participate in roundup expert. If you don't receive
their response after the deadline, it means they're not participating in the roundup expert.
5) If you don't receive a response, you will need to send an email follow-up, some of them may
forget about your email, so you need to send a reminder about your proposal.
6) Once the blog post alive, you will need to email all the blogger's experts who participated in
your roundup expert blog post by giving them the blog post link and request them to share the

blog post with their audience.

7) In the last pitch, you can propose a guest post to an expert blogger who shares your blog
post to their audience. You will have a higher chance of success to pitch the guest post since
you have built a great relationship through this roundup expert.
Note: this method will spend a lot of time and energy, but it's worth it once the round up done
successfully.
6.5.4 HARO
HARO stands for Help a Reporter Out. It is a place for a journalist to find sources, they need
sources for their articles.
So you can sign up for free to be a source that can provide information to them. You may be
wondering why there is a section like "as featured on or as seen on" on other's people blogs. It
means they're participating in HARO, and their respond selected to be featured on high
authority websites like Forbes, Business Insider, The Huffington Post, Yahoo Finance etc.

HARO makes your website brand popular, and you receive a backlink from a high authority
website, which can increase your domain authority (Domain Rating). I could say this is one of
the top strategies that work effectively to increase your domain rating and leverage your
personal brand or company. It's like a portfolio on your website.
How HARO works?

Once you have registered, you will receive three emails per day. Only respond to relevant
queries. If they like your response, they may feature you and link back to you.
Answering HARO Best Practice
1) Always reply before the deadline (ideally within 24 hours)
2) Read all the instruction and requirement
3) Subject email: write a compelling subject line to grab their attention
4) Intro of the email: mention your name, website, and where you have been a feature (if you
have)
5) Answer in a short paragraph, bullet points, bold the important sections, and no text walls.
Make it easy to read.
6) Position yourself as an expert or personal experience
7) State your name and add a link to your website on your signature
HARO Best Tips

1. Before you respond to a HARO, check the domain rating of the site. If the site rating is higher
than your site rating, respond to the HARO. If it isn't, move on to the next HARO because you
don't want to waste your time.
2. Don't respond to the anonymous media outlet. It's gambling. Ensure to check the media
outlet source.
3. Don't respond to the Medium because they will not link back to your blog. It's a waste of time
4. No need to follow up after sending a response, just move on to the next HARO.
5. Set up Google alert on your name/blog, so you will be notified if you're featured on others'
websites.
Note: this method also has cons. It's high competition, and you may waste a lot of your time
responding without getting a response back.
6.6 Which one is More Powerful: Backlink or On-Page SEO?

Backlink 70% more impactful than on-page SEO, which is only 30%. So your main job will be
more focusing on getting a high-authority backlink to your site because it's the most powerful
factor to rank on Google. Don't think you can rank on Google by only doing On-Page SEO.

6.7 Stop Ignoring Your Site Speed. What to Do to Increase Site Speed?
If your website speed is slow to load, you will need to fix it because Google wants the website
ranking on Google to have a great user experience in website speed. If you want to know your
current website speed. You can get your current site speed report using the three websites
below:
→GTmetrix
→WePageTest
→Google Pagespeed Insight
Perform a speed test and screenshot all the report results as a benchmark for you, and then
you will compare the site speed results after making the recommendation below.
The Best FREE Recommendation to Increase Your Site Speed:
1) Uninstall unnecessary plugin that you don't use.
2) Uninstall theme that you don't use on your “Appearance” menu → “Themes”.
3) Setting up CDN Cloudflare, you can read on my blog how to set up CDN Cloudflare for
Bluehost hosting.
4) Optimizing your image using the free plugin Imagify or Smush. It can help reduce your image
size and make your site load faster.
5) Installing free plugin Lazy Load: you can checklist enable lazy loading for iframe, videos, and
audios.
6) Installing free plugin W3 Total Cache: it can help to fasten your site by caching your blog.
Follow this guide to set up the W3 Total Cache plugin. If you use free CDN Cloudflare like me,
you need to follow this guide
If you have a budget or your blog income already grown, you will need to consider WP Rocket
as a premium plugin that can do the job even far better than all those FREE plugins to make
your site load faster. WP Rocket has a ton of features that you don't get from the free plugin
W3 Total Cache plugin.
Regarding image optimization, I recommend using ShortPixel for the premium plugin. This
plugin can do a compression file even further than the freemium Smush or Imagify plugin.
ShortPixel will reduce the compressed image from the free plugin 46% further, helping to make
your site faster.
6.8 Another Factor Affecting Google SEO

There are several factors to consider also affecting Google SEO, such as:
1) UX: Google also considering the user experience (UX) of your website. Ensure that your blog
post consists of a small paragraph to make the reader easier to read. Also, provide your contact
page, about us, privacy policy, disclaimer, and TOS (term of services).

2) Site Structure: Ideally, the site structure hierarchy will be like the picture below. The main
website will have several main categories, which will be divided into subcategories or pages.
The main point here is the site is not complex, easy to navigate for the user and Google robot to
crawl.

3) Site Speed: we have discussed this part in the previous section, including detailed action
needed.
4) Mobile-Friendly: Ensure to perform a mobile-friendly test to check whether your website is

good for the mobile view since most of the traffic will come from mobile. You can perform
mobile friendly test here. Ensure the results are in green text "Page is mobile-friendly" as per
the picture below.
5) Updated Content: The last thing, ensure to update your blog post content if you have
mentioned the date on your blog title, like 2020. You will then need to update the blog title to
2021 because Google wants to show the latest updated content for their user to bring the best
user experience. It's only a small tweak on your blog but can keep your performance on the
Google search results.

6.9 Free SEO Website That Helps you to Audit your Site
1) Broken link checker: you can check the broken link on your site 404 error pages and fix it.
Google will penalize the page that directs to the broken page.
2) Copyscape and Duplichecker: you can check the percentage of plagiarism of your blog
content. Google doesn't like plagiarism, so ensure you type your content with your own words.
3) Indexchecking: you can check whether your page already ranks on Google or not.
4) Whatsmyserp: you can check your keyword rank on Google.
7. Niche Forum
Most of you may think that Forum is dead, the fact the big forum site like Reddit and Quora
keeps growing year by year. The same thing, like a specific niche forum, which still works very
well. Niche forum traffic can bring you targeted and engaged visitors to your site even though
the Forum's audience size not as large as Reddit and Quora.

You may be wondering how can I get traffic to my site using Forum. The way you will get traffic
from Forum is not by spamming a link to your site on every post. You will quickly get banned
from day one by the forum moderator. Instead, the way you will hijack the free traffic is
through a signature link located at the bottom of your post, as shown in the picture below.

1) Find the top 2-3 forum on your niche to be active
2) There are two methods to find the top Forum in a specific niche.
First: Type in Google "Top [Niche] Forum" or "Best [Niche] Forum"
Second: Find the specific niche forum through Find a Forum website. You can find a forum for
each niche category.

3) Read the signature requirement for the Forum you have found. Whether they have the
signature or not, if yes, what will be the requirement to get the signature. Some forums will
require you to have a minimum number of posts to be eligible for signature. Some of them will
require you to upgrade your account to get the signature with a clickable link to your site.
4) Write a good signature headline to drive CTR (Click to your site)
5) Active and engage in the Forum by answering other's questions and posting threads. You
need to dedicate your time, like one hour each day to forum marketing. It's about consistency.
6) Always deliver valuable comments and threads to get a click by becoming a helpful person.
The name of the game is giving helpful information. Do it consistently every day.
7) If you have helpful content, you can create one thread once a week that shares quality
information to boost your site's traffic and boost your personal branding on the Forum. People
tend to click your signature if you provide good information.
8) We can change the signature topic every week because the same people are coming to the
Forum, so try to promote another page on the signature. So the forum members know that you
have something new and make them to check it out. You will get new visitors also to your site
because Forum ranks on Google and keeps bringing new visitors who will click your signature
link. So the people on the Forum is a mix of an old and new member.
7.2 How to Create a Good Signature

1) Headline: Creating a powerful hook headline that grabs attention
2) Think numbers: putting a number can be attention-grabbing
3) Bold/ italic/ underline/ capital/ bracket
4) Concise
5) Only put 1-2 link max: if you put more than that, you will not get a click

8. Blog Commenting

Blog commenting can help to drive traffic to your site but don't focus too much on this strategy.
You can use this method to build a relationship with the other blogger who has a higher
authority domain than your site.
Don't comment on others' blogs by spamming your link. The owner of the blog will remove your
comment. Here the key to driving traffic to your site with blog commenting.
8.1 Blog Commenting Best Strategy: Step by Step Guide
1) Create your free Gravatar account to create your profile picture and bio, so your face will be
shown when you comment on others' blogs. The blog reader can also click on your profile
picture, which will direct the traffic to your site.
2) Subscribe to top industry blogs and be alert. Whenever you receive an email for a new post,
be the first to write a high-valuable comment, so people can see your comment after reading
the article. Other comments will fall below your own, and you'll drive more targeted visitors,
leads, and customers to your business.
3) Remember, don't spam the link on your comment. You allow linking your comment if the link
is relevant to your answer. Kindly note your website link on the comment will not be active
(non-clickable).
PRO TIP: You can also activate Google alert notification for any keyword topic you want to be
notified. Let’s see an example of my Google Alert setting in which I put my blog domain name,
so every time a new blog post on Google mentions my blog name Ebiz Strategic. I will get an
email notification, and I can check on which website has mentioned my website domain.
This method will be useful if you alert any specific keyword topic such as keto diet, ice fishing,
etc. So you can be the first commenter on other's blogs by accessing the article link through your
Google alert email.

9. Slideshare
No one will ever be thinking that creating a slide can drive traffic and convert it into a customer.
Slideshare is an underrated and untapped traffic source by most marketers. Base on
Similiarweb.com, Slideshare has an average monthly visitor of 120M, and 81% of traffic coming
from Google Search!

Seeing on the data above, you can't miss the opportunity to get eyeball and traffic from Google
to your Slide presentation, which contains your website link or affiliate link.
9.1 Slideshare Best Strategy: Step by Step Guide

1) The first thing you will need to do is creating a powerful headline presentation and content
idea that can attract a reader from your slide cover. It can be from your existing blog content
that hasn't rank on Google or even new content that is not available on your website.
2) After getting an idea for your slide cover headline and content. You will need to research low
competition and high volume search keyword for your presentation title and description
PRO TIP: your slide presentation title on the cover doesn't have to match the slide presentation
title when you upload it. The title and description you will need to input when uploading the
slide are SEO optimized, while the title on the slide cover designed to attract reader (not SEO
optimized)
Let's see an example below to make it clear:
Title of the slide cover: FAST -TRACK TO FUTURE-READY PERFORMANCE Elevate every decision
with intelligent operations (Grabbing the attention for the reader)
Title of the slide when uploading to Slideshare: Intelligent Operations for Future-Ready
Businesses (SEO Optimized)
Slide cover title with POWERFUL

HEADLINE to ATTRACT READER
Slide title SEO OPTIMIZED when

uploading slide, so it RANK on GOOGLE

3) The Slideshare cover will be the most crucial part in determining your presentation's success
because it's the first thing that your audience and Slideshare editorial team see. The slide cover
role will be like a thumbnail on a Youtube video, which will trigger the viewer to click it. If you
need to find the free images resources to décor your slide, it can be downloaded FREE from
Pixabay, Pexels, Unsplash, Freepik
TIPS: Put text overlay on your slide presentation cover to grab attention
4) The longer the presentation, the more views and share you will receive.
Rule of Thumb 10/40 these stand for 10 words per slide and 40 slides per presentation. Having
fewer words per slide make it easier for the reader to flip through your presentation by
skimming
Note: The best thing about Slideshare is that we can re-upload and change the presentation
content or even edit the link to change the content anytime. So, don't worry too much about the
slide you have published.
5) Upload your slide presentation in PDF format.

6) Input complete information when uploading your presentation like Title, Description,
Category, and Tags to make your discoverability score full 100% like the picture below.
YOUR SLIDE
PRESENTATION
COVER WILL BE SHOWN
Title: Incorporate your headline topic with Google keyword research (low competition and high
search volume). Kindly keep in mind, your SlideShare title will be your Slideshare URL link, so
ensure to research the keyword to make it rank on search

Description: include your title SEO keyword in your description. The website link on the
description is not live on Slideshare, so we can put a link at the end of our presentation. It's
allowed by Slideshare.
Category: choose the relevant category for your slide presentation
Tags: using tags is useful for ranking on Slideshare internal search engine. To tap into
SlideShare's huge audience, be sure to include 10-12 tags related to your slide deck's topic and
related industry.
9.2 How to make your slide "Featured" on Slideshare?

"Featured" presentations are hand-curated every day by the SlideShare editorial team. To be
featured on the SlideShare home page, keep creating well-designed, useful, relevant
presentations. Your content and design will catch the team's attention.
Upload your slide at 2 AM EST to give your presentation the most amount of chance to make it
to the first page. The earlier you get it up in the day, the more time it has to collect views and
get noticed by the editorial team.
In my opinion, this isn't easy to be selected featured by Slideshare. So, It's better to focus on
ranking your Slideshare presentation on Google search, which can attract targeted traffic
visitors. If somehow your Slide being "featured," then you can treat it as a bonus for you.
10. Medium and Google Site
Medium and Google site becomes the best choice for most people when they don't have a
website. You may be wondering how to use Medium and Google sites to drive traffic to your
offer. But before that, Let's analyze the Medium and Google data first.

The Medium has an average of 200M monthly visitors, with 67% of their traffic from Google
search and Domain rating 94.
The Google site has an average of 300M monthly visitors, with 42% of its traffic from Google
search and Domain rating 93.

Based on the data above, we know that both Medium and Google sites get a large portion of
traffic from Google search pages. What does it mean? It means both Medium and Google sites
can rank an article that is SEO optimized faster and easier on Google SERP (Search Engine Result
Page) due to their high authority domain, which is above 90. In conclusion, you can outperform
your blog article rank on Google SERP by leveraging Medium or Google Site's domain authority.
10.1 Medium and Google Site Best Strategy: Step by Step Guide
1) Determine the blog topic you want to write that can be monetized (it means you can
promote product or services from that blog topic)
2) Research the low competition and high search volume keyword for the blog title (H1) and
subtitle (H2, H3, and H4)
3) You can use Google Keyword Planner as a FREE keyword research tool from your Google Ads
account
4) Write the article using optimized keyword SEO for blog title (H1) and subtitle (H2, H3, and
H4)
Important Alert: If you have an affiliate link on your Medium or Google Sites. Don't forget to put
an affiliate disclosure somewhere in your article or at the end of your writing, mentioning that
you're promoting an affiliate product and earning some commission if the reader buys from
your link as per FTC requirement. The affiliate disclosure statement is needed as per Medium
rules.
5) If you target a low competition keyword, you should be able to rank faster within 1-2 weeks
or maximum within one month.
6) In my opinion, this strategy can be implemented if you want to promote an affiliate product
that is not in your main blog niche, so you can create a blog from Medium or Google sites to
promote it. You can use Medium and Google site also if you don’t have a website since it’s very
easy to start your blog page using Medium and Google site.
7) If you want to promote a product on a niche that you don’t have knowledge about or don’t
have time to write a long article. I recommend you outsource a freelance writer from Fiverr.
They offer affordable prices for writing articles. You will need to provide the blog title (H1) and
subtitle (H2, H3, and H4) to the writer, so they will write the content for you.
PRO TIP: You can create several articles on Medium/ Google sites to internal link each article to
help fasten your ranking. Treat your Medium/ Google sites like a blog post that needs to be
optimized. You can also buy high-quality backlinks to your medium/ Google sites on Fiverr to
help rank faster.

11. Becoming Omnichannel
Well, we have explored step by step FREE traffic strategy for each marketing channel. Of
course, the best strategy is to diversify our free traffic source, so if we lose one of our
marketing channels, let's say Facebook banned your account, your business can still running
and generating revenue. The long term best strategy for your business is by becoming
omnichannel.
The case will be different if you're a beginner, you will be overwhelmed to diversify your traffic
source at the same time, especially if you're a solo entrepreneur. The best thing to do is to
focus on 1-2 traffic sources at the beginning and start getting traction. You will most likely get
better results instead of diversifying all the marketing channels at once.
So, choose one or two traffic sources to focus on at the beginning and build the traffic. Once
you have succeed with one or two traffic sources, you can consider expanding your free traffic
to other marketing channels while maintaining other channels with less effort (lower
maintenance) since it's already grown.
