The Blogging Millionaire

This is the first part of a series where I'm going to cover some proven tactics that will significantly increase your ad income. Each of these episodes are going to be short and to the point focusing on one simple tactic that you can quickly take action on.

A common mistake that bloggers make is trying to sound like they have a 3 Phds. Even if you are able to pull this off at a high level, then you are still going to fail. The reason for this is because less than 5% of adults in the United States read at a college grade level. That means you would be alienating 95% of the visitors that come to your blog. The best practice is to write at an 8th grade level or below, which is the reading level where 50% of US adults fall into.

This simple mindset is responsible for me going from zero to 1 million monthly visitors in short time.

There is nothing more frustrating to a blogger then investing a year or two into a new blog and seeing little to nothing in return for all that hard work. At some point, you have to face the what the numbers are telling you. If you had a business where you were paying $4000 a month in rent and $10,000 to three employees, you would quickly abandon that business if it were only making you $50 a month. The financial costs associated with a blog are really low, and this leads bloggers to sticking with their blog niche for up to 5 years, when they should be moving on after 12 months.

For the most part, bloggers fall short when it comes to researching a topic and writing an outline. They just want to open up WordPress and start writing. If you skip the research and outline step, then you are going to be left with an average post that will not be able to compete with the more comprehensive posts on the same topic.

A few strategic changes to a post title can double the traffic to a post in as little as 30 days.

Over the three episodes, I am going to tell you exactly how to plan out the most important goals that you need to have for your blog. These goals will give you laser-like focus on what will make 2021 a year of traffic and income growth like no other.

For my 200 episode, I will be sharing the 3 things I did over the past year that had the biggest impact on the traffic and income of my blogs. One of these three allowed me to increase my ad RPMs by 50%. If you do not know what RPM means, it stands for earnings per 1000 impressions. So 50% is a big number.

The list post is the second most used content format by bloggers. It is simple to create and easy to read, which is good for both bloggers and their readers. The problem is that for most list post topics, because of the mass adoption by bloggers, there is also plenty of competition. This makes it vitally important that you use the list post SEO tactics that are proven to work.

This is a must listen to episode, so get ready to take some notes.

Once you are on the first page of Google for a specific topic, sometimes it only takes a few adjustments to move from number 7 to the coveted top 3 positions in Google. In the latest stats, the number 7 position in Google search results receives 4% of the clicks. The number one spot receives 31% of the clicks. That means if you move from number 7 to number one, the traffic that your blog will receive will increase by almost 800%.

In this episode, I am going to teach you how I have been able to find quality writers on Fiverr for a fraction of the cost that most pro bloggers pay for content. Not every blogger needs to have a staff of writers, but it is always good to have at least one writer on call. The reason for this is that there are going to be occasional life events that prevent you from being able to write for weeks or months at a time. On those occasions, having a writer to help do the research along with the first draft will be a lifesaver.
