The #1 Secret to Good SEO Content
It’s much simpler than you realize
In my 13 years as a blogger (and over 7 years as an active one), I’ve come to realize that everything about SEO is rather simple.
The problem is that we tend to over-complicate things because most of us bloggers tend to write from the perspective of traffic.
That’s not really a bad thing, by the way.
Traffic means that people are reading the post, are likely to turn into a loyal audience and ultimately help you generate revenue either through ads or products or affiliate marketing.
No, the bigger problem is this: People approach SEO from the perspective of just traffic.
In my 10 SEO Secrets e-book, I share some very basic and very practical tips to help you understand that sweet spot of writing naturally and for SEO at the same time.
Following just 3 of those tips helps my content rank on Page 1 for most long-tail keywords.
Such as this post I published just yesterday and which is already on page 1 for the term ‘How to create more time in your day’ alongside the likes of Oprah.com
Or this post I published a couple of days ago that now ranks on position 2 of the first page of Google results.
So, what’s the secret, exactly?
Start with the reader
Always start by putting yourself in the reader’s shoes and approaching every piece of content from the user perspective.
When your objective is to help the reader the rest of it will follow very naturally.
If your intention is to become the go-to person in a particular niche, remember that authentic writing and service-oriented content will win out over everything else.
And when it does, you’d be pleasantly surprised to see how your content naturally appears when people search for it.
