hey what's up Doug Huntington here from
niche site project and today is the
weekly live Q&A hopefully people can
hear me it's always good when people can
hear me I have my friend Dave Fox on who
has been and Dave Fox who's been on the
channel a bunch before and on niche site
project the blog as well and we're just
gonna like answer some questions as
normal and it should be pretty awesome
so and I am uted Dave but I want to
unmute Dave now and I'm trying to figure
out how to do that
talk Dave see if this works I cannot
hear you
hold on how about now yeah okay cool
well welcome Dave how's it going oh
pretty good awesome well thanks for
joining up today well I see we have
Marcus on we have Seeta Jaron Dennis
Steven really cool and we had a couple
questions that were sent in and we'll
get to those in a minute and of course
in the chat if you have any questions
just type them in and that'll be stuff
that we go over to a couple quick
announcements Dave and I recorded like
three videos a couple weeks ago or a
week ago I don't remember but we're
gonna publish them I'm gonna publish
them on Monday so that'll be cool one of
them is gonna be like just a general
update like what's Dave been up to in
the last year it's been about a year
since we've gotten video update and then
we're gonna talk about like negative SEO
i know i i've alluded to this for
several months so we're gonna talk about
negative SEO and like dealing with that
and then you know how to work with a
disavow the disavow tool and stuff like
that and then the last one is like
outreach so Dave's been doing some cool
outreach you're gonna talk just a little
bit about the outreach sure yeah I've
just been doing some like fairly
wholesome outreach with one of my blogs
and it's been working really well it's
reflected really nicely in the traffic
the traffic's not a quite a bit and I'm
pretty sure that it's due to this
particular type of outreach
sweet yeah and we have we have like
templates for all that stuff sort of
like the outreach emails that he sent
and as normal it's not one of those you
know quick sort of things it's sort of
my what I would assume like my sort of
slow approach where it's like super
methodical and like well-thought-out and
a lot more surgical than just like
shooting out you know 300 emails or
something like that so yeah it's amazing
you got like doubled the traffic on your
site and double the revenue yeah like
with like a fairly minimal amount of
links to I guess like you know maybe
like ten or twelve links seem to do the
trick but it's the nature of these types
of websites that we're talking to that
that does it so sweet
awesome yeah really good set of you know
interviews that we had and as I've been
doing the last few weeks I'm just gonna
release all of these in one playlist so
you could like binge binge watch these
if you want to so nice alright so a
couple more people hopped in we have Jas
we entertain Marc Roman with subsume
boom we entertain and Ravi how's it
going all right so one question that was
sent in how do we find a trending niche
so Dave what's your advice on that
trending niche depends how you're going
about it like if you're just on Amazon
you could be sort of surfing around
are we talking about Amazon sites just
make an assumption yeah yeah well I mean
like I don't usually follow the trending
niches but I'm like the trends do pop
out you know so you kind of like bumped
into them if you're kind of used to
surfing around on Amazon you'll see them
pop up I like I don't know what do you
think Doug yeah so number one I would
advise not to do that I think it's a
kind of a bad idea it's ending staffing
yeah so just don't worry about it like
you're a green thing I do the opposite
yeah it's like if you if you want to do
that you can go to Google Trends and
just look it up so yeah Google Trends
put in some stuff that you're
like into or that you're interested in
or you think is trending yeah or you
could just like go to Google Trends and
look but I basically advise you don't do
that depending on what you're trying to
do it's yeah like a quick rise but then
it's gonna like fail like it's work out
for you
it doesn't seem logical to follow like
the trends that come along like say for
instance drones maybe a couple years ago
that was like a hot thing right but now
it's just like any other niche it's just
like drones are it's saturated there's
like certain number of people in it you
know so the trends eventually wear off
yeah and I think yeah so we'll leave it
at that and a couple other quick
announcements before we get to the
questions that were sent a couple cool
ones were sent in on July 9th
there is a free mini-course via email
that I'm doing so basically if you just
if you're on my email list then you'll
get this but there it's like a
three-part mini course series so it'll
be like that week Monday Wednesday and
Friday so July 9th if you're not on the
email list do join the email list
there's a link in the description by the
way Dave has a YouTube channel and I've
linked that in the description as well
so Dave you want to tell us a little bit
about your YouTube channel over there
yeah it's just for my my record label
here in Canada which I've been promoting
for years and I finally decided to sort
of like actually actively promoted to
the niche community just because it's
what I've been doing and it's sort of
like a lot of money that I get from
niche sites I do put it back into that
channel something like what that what
the heck I might as well share with
people and see what they think of it you
know cool and it's a you know there's
like music and stuff maybe some there's
some comedy stuff on there too a little
release or there's some weird stuff on
there like if you dig into it there's
mostly music to be honest but like
there's there's some weird stuff that's
just on there it's this my sense of
humor I can't explain it too well you
know you have to check it out yeah yeah
so yeah go check it out it is pretty
funny like I said there's a link in the
description so go check out Dave's
channel we want to see like a spike of
views when you check out the analytics
in a couple
is Dave so it goes subscribe to his
channel check it out and you'll get to
know Dave a little bit better that sort
of creepy Canadian sense no I'm just
kidding specific yeah it's not Canadian
it's just Dave specific weird humor it's
a little bit place everyone's so nice
everyone's really nice and Canada that's
what I thought they say so a couple a
couple other quick things there are a
few affiliate links in the descriptions
are clearly marked I appreciate it if
you use them but a couple cool things
there's a theme that I've taken a look
at a little bit more closely called
rhihub it looks really nice and a lot of
people are using it with great success
if you're interested in Pinterest
traffic there's an on-demand webinar
over there my friend John Dykstra put it
on so you can check that out if you want
and then we'll hop over to a couple of
questions that were sent in so these are
a little bit longer and I'm just gonna
read it out so first one from Sita this
is I just started hiring on upwork and
you have a couple of writers it's your
first time and you're in the process of
assessing what you like and don't like
these issues came to mind so number one
what's a reasonable length of time to
wait before letting writers know they're
hired I want to make sure I get what I
want and not jump too quickly so Dave
have you hired a lot of writers in your
time yeah a lot okay
so cool do you have any advice on like
how long you should wait to let them
know I'd say like usually when I go
through like a hiring process there's
always like a bunch of writers that kind
of apply maybe like on up work there
might even be like 20 or 30 people that
apply and then I actually talked to like
five of them because some of them
obviously will not fit with what I'm
doing I can just tell by their
application because a lot of the
applications are just like fairly
generic they're just like Hello like
I'll be perfect for your job kind of
thing and they're not you can tell they
just didn't even read it so I just come
get rid of those people immediately
you're
with a smaller group and then you kind
of you just you can just start talking
to them and if they if when you talk to
them if the chemistry is right then you
can actually like sort of go from there
essentially cool so in the specific
question and I'll put in my two cents to
so the reasonable amount of time it
doesn't matter this is not like dating
like you can let them know right away
yeah or you can wait a little longer so
for me what I personally do is I'll put
in a job posting and then I'll wait like
two or three days to make sure I have
enough to look through enough proposals
to look through and then I'll
immediately hire the five or whatever
that look good so I don't have I don't
do the back and forth like you're
talking about Dave I just hire them and
then get them to write something that's
like the way for me to do it the other
thing to mention is I have like a few
questions that I ask within the job
posting is you know that like they it's
kind of like the interview so I like
sort of if they don't answer the
questions well then they're out right
right
it's nothing tricky right but I just
want them to write a little bit and you
know if I ask a yes-or-no question and
then say tell me a little bit more um
they just say yes or no and then don't
answer anything else then they're out
right I mean they're admirably they're
supposed to be a writer right yes if
they give me flak then they're out you
know like a lot of them will just
they'll start kind of like arguing with
you a little bit sort of like trying to
negotiate certain things and as soon as
I sort of see there's like a power
struggle I'm like I'm not gonna talk to
you like I don't even bother right so
right exactly it's I mean this actually
fits in the next two questions so I'll
read the two together what's a
reasonable length of time to to expect a
turnaround I mean let me just start
again what's the reasonable length of
time to expect to turn around for one
article or five articles or ten articles
that are 1500 words apiece and basically
it's whatever you want you're the boss
so
can say I want this in one day and if
they can't do it that's the wrong person
for you or if you don't care then you
can tell them a week so you're literally
the boss
you literally dictate he just like
whatever you want right third question
is I hired writers on a quote trial
basis which what I that's what I
recommend and with the potential of
future work and see is using my template
so if you decide not to use a trial
writer again should I let them know or
not well then again
totally up to you but if your but I
usually let someone know because I'm I'm
like I'm professional and I mean there's
no reason not to tell them you just said
okay you know what I'm just I mean you
can make up whatever excuse you want
right you can say hey I didn't like what
you wrote or you could just say hey yeah
I don't I'm not gonna hire you again you
know good luck so dad what do you do do
you usually let him know or what's your
deal yeah I try to be pretty
straightforward with them I was just
gonna say that I lean towards writers
that are that actually know about the
topic so if I'm hiring for like someone
that knows about pianos I'm like do you
know about pianos and then they're like
yes I do and they sort of give me a
sample I'm like okay you do so great so
that usually accelerates the process
with people that don't know about these
things a lot of people try to convince
you that they know about something that
they don't know about and how great of a
writer they are just in general but
usually I aim for people that know
specifically about the topic especially
with niche stuff for sure it doesn't
really answer the question but it's
important you know like people try to
just they don't hire people that know
anything about the topic it up for niche
sites that just seems ridiculous to me
yeah okay cool cool all right couple
questions and if people just joined up
Dave Fox is joining us which is awesome
so thanks for hopping on yeah do check
out his YouTube channel there's a link
in the description
it's his music label so pretty cool this
is kind of what Dave's passion is and
it's where he you know puts all all the
money that he earns right yeah more or
less I do a lot of recording
stop so that's that's where some of the
money goes for sure
cool so to check out Dave's channel link
in the description ameen sent in a
question says the income school guys
think starting from a hundred thousand
page views a month you have to move to
premium hosting which is expensive do
you share the point of view not
specifically but if I generalize the
question then yes as you get more
traffic I did a whole video on this by
the way as you get more traffic you need
to upgrade your hosting whether you use
WP engine or not doesn't matter like as
you buy better hosting and pay more
money then it will it'll be faster and
just better in general you'll
potentially get better customer service
and if you're getting a hundred thousand
visitors a month and you can't afford WP
engine you've done something very wrong
right yeah so if you get a hundred
thousand visitors a month
like you'll happily upgrade your hosting
and be backing it up daily with a
service like if yeah that's a lot of
traffic so yeah you should upgrade to
something Dave you're just nodding yeah
so yeah like what is that like thirty
five hundred a day or something like
that
yeah so I mean like I have scaleable
hosting I paid like a hundred fish
dollars but like I remember used to
Eisley go like wow that's a lot of money
but then really it's not because you
want your like websites to function and
if they if they don't then you're
screwed so like you need to have decent
hosting I've upgraded like five times
like over the years so cool yeah and I
use a personally use Sai crown'd I've
moved over from other hosting companies
that kind of failed on the Astra service
side and tech support so site kicks ass
David you said groan - yeah same here
and same thing just like really bad
customer service really bad tech support
like really bad everything with some of
these with some of these hosting
companies and I mean they don't care
there they're usually the bigger ones
that have like a tons of customers
anyway they don't really care if you
leave
right so yeah and the thing is like most
hosting companies are gonna be like fine
when everything's going well but you
need help that's when it's super and
that is why people switch because
something happens and then you're like
well this is not good
so yeah like it's actually like really
it can get really bad I've been in like
these quag Quagmire's of like you just
can't get out of like you know they have
your site and it's like you're trying to
move it over to some other hosting it's
like it took me like three months to
move a set like migrate a site one time
just because they the team wouldn't get
back to me and they didn't even know
what that like what was going on so
stuff like that gotcha
okay and another question from wee
entertainment Hindi I am beginning in
blogging can you suggest what I can do
to earn at least 500 dollars a month so
I have a video that has a title like
make a $500 a month something like that
go watch that one but basically if
you're just getting started it's a very
exciting time for you it's basically
like unlimited I would say the biggest
piece of advice is to like find someone
that you like and then sort of follow
their method from like beginning to end
where you start trying to like do
everyone's method right if you're trying
to do this if you're trying to like
learn by committee and you're taking a
piece from everywhere and you're just
getting started
highly likely you're gonna make a
mistake by picking stuff that doesn't
work well and then you're just gonna be
confused so just pick one like person or
a group of people and their blog income
school guys are really great another
reference to them and that sort of thing
but like don't try and do everything at
once
mmm-hmm anything to add Dave yeah just
like be consistent like post
consistently for a consistent amount of
time because I know people that they
want to get to that point of $500 a
month and then they I'll ask them like
how many blog posts have you done in the
past six months and they'll say like
three and I'm like well that could have
you know that's probably part of the
reason you haven't you haven't posted
enough like you got to post more
like I don't know how yeah all right
Anthony says oh and I think a couple
people hopped on if I miss USA Yokohama
life it's late there thanks for getting
up another question here would I favor a
writer who's more familiar with the
niche but a decent writer or someone
who's not familiar who can write really
well Dave what do you think I mean I
think like knowing about the topic
trumps pretty much anything unless
they're really bad writer like I mean
that's what I usually go for because
there's something about reading a site
where they actually know that people
that know also can relate to so you
can't beat that but you know at the same
time having a really good writer that
understands like how how these kind of
sites work is handy so I don't know
they're pretty neck-and-neck as far as
I'm concerned but they're I would say
knowing about the topic is just a little
more important okay and I think I think
it depends I think if you have if you
have a topic which does require like
special insight you know it can be more
important so you know since we're
talking about your YouTube channel where
you know music is the topic right that
could be something where like you would
need someone to know about music
depending on how deep it is but if it's
something you could just go research
right let's say it's I don't know it's
like some financial thing and you just
need like some general financial
research done where someone can go read
resources on like banking sites or
whatever yeah I don't think it's
necessarily important to have someone
that's a financial in fact it may be
worse to have someone who's an expert
that will write in my crazy jargon that
no one can understand that people don't
understand so it depends and it depends
on how in the weeds that topic is I
guess right like what I'm interviewing
writers I usually look for like
combination of all those things and then
usually there's one person er that jumps
out at me is like oh this person's
perfect you just have to wait a little
bit and go through the people
and someone will pop out usually in the
interviewing process to me where they're
they like they can write they know about
the topic they're friendly and then I
just hire them
ya know okay next Anthony also says
what's better for affiliate linking a
button call to action or a plain link
David for me plane lengths like plane
like hypertext links are always what has
worked for me for some odd reason you
know like I've sort of tested this and
it's just always like that the yellow
hypertext yeah same here I like plain
text but you know test it out and the
fat I mean I say this kind of often but
I mean the fact is I think it doesn't
really matter just like pick one and do
it you could test it if you want but you
know my theory is a button looks more
like aggressive to push you to buy and
the text link can be a little bit more
like a gentle recommendation to go over
to Amazon or whatever yeah so that's
just my hunch you can also test it right
like you can use the outbound article
feature in analytics to test it so if
you want you can just see what's being
clicked and then use use whatever is
being clicked it's alright like took me
a while to find that feature I don't
know if you've used it too much Dugger
if you use it that that thing it's in
monster insights it's like a just a
random feature gotcha and I've I've seen
it but I haven't paid much attention to
it from my perspective I was just like
it's easier to put a text link in and it
seems to be working pretty well so I've
a pretty like my conversion rate is
reported on the Amazon is usually like
10 to 12 13 percent so it's pretty good
yeah stick with it
Sean says hey Dave hey Doug Dave you and
I both applied for spencer hawes
internship a few years back so that's
cool Sean beard and then
Benji's dive is on - so i know that dave
has to leave us in like 10 minutes or so
5-10 minutes so yeah any last questions
for Dave you start getting a min and
I'll try and push him through here so
Danish says I'm getting a guest post
from a strong edu web site but I have an
article on say less like the best
ballpoint pen so won't be won't it be
irrelevant since it would be a
university website Dave what's your take
on that I do you want to try that for I
have to process that for a second okay
well start answering basically take the
link right who cares it's more important
about I mean a university site is gonna
have like content on like a huge giant
range of topics so as long my hunches as
long as the post is about like something
relevant that's probably gonna be super
awesome but even if it's not like of
course you'll take the link yeah yeah
it's take the link yeah certain domains
you kind of just want to take the link
like easy use are good right or orgs
yeah dot-gov if you can somehow you know
I know there's a there's a student of
mine for five figure niche site that's
gotten a few dot-gov links through
having like really very good content
right awesome and that ties in with the
thing about like my outreach thing where
you can actually get those links if you
do certain things you know like Frank
Wright Anthony says is the Google
sandbox a myth made up by SEO gurus this
is what you heard from those who gain
traffic within three months or less I
don't think it's a myth I think well who
got the traffic within three months or
less by the way the context of the
question it sounds like the people are
not SEO gurus so that would tell me that
they may be less experienced they may
have less information to draw from but
I've seen it time and time again by
myself and peers and other people like
six months hits and like
a weight is lifted and your rankings go
up so I think there's some randomization
to it and I think there are things that
you could do like get a lot of links got
a lot of branded links from awesome
sites in a short time but since you know
the last three years I mean it takes
like six months to really like break out
so Anthony I would I would question who
like got that information but Dave have
you have you been able to like beat the
sandbox I mean I see it whenever I start
a site I see the sandbox I like have to
like live through the sandbox and then
at some point things start to like kind
of get out of it so I mean it is a thing
that I've noticed like every single time
I've done a site so I don't know if it's
like I don't Google probably doesn't
call it that but it's definitely part of
their algorithm whatever it is you know
yeah
and I think Duke mentions our kind
moderator thinks moderators appreciate
it Duke mentions think about the guys
who said that they tell you six months -
I think I'm reading that wrong there is
a sandbox just the amount of time varies
yeah again I think there's like some
some random stuff going on and I know
people that have beat the sandbox but
they basically got a lot of links like
really good content and they were
driving traffic from social and other
areas so it's like I mean yeah you can
you can do it but you got to know what
you're doing basically and also I think
Google has a way of like it's assessing
what kind of site you actually are so
depending on what kind of site it's sort
of like putting in a certain category
going well this is a you know like a
like a winter boot site so therefore it
compares you with the other sites that
are similar and then you have to like
there's a process to it where it depends
on the niche right I think for sure all
right
a couple more questions here and then I
know Dave has to go everyone be sure to
check out Dave's channel so she does
says thanks for answering the questions
there stream was messed up over there
but cool we got to him
blue fuse says I see a battle between
Brian Dean skyscraper method versus
smaller content who should you listen to
Dave what's your take do you go to
smaller content or longer content I
generally try to get like longer content
if I if I can so a lot of times I'll get
my writer to do if necessary like a
double a double article or a triple that
just means like triple the length of the
usual size which would be like say 800
words so you know it could be like 1500
words would be like it's not that's not
a skyscraper size but like I try to get
it longer if it's a topic that look like
requires it so some some require some
topics require more depth that's right
so I think figures into Google and stuff
so cool and I I would say do a blend is
probably the best way to go I would I
would suspect the thing is obviously
Brian Dean does a really good job right
he only has something like 40 or 50 post
on his site but he spends most of his
time marketing it and at least obviously
the content is good but he spends a lot
of time marketing it actually I will I
challenge people if you go check out
some of the articles it's a really good
headline that Brian may have and then
he'll show sort of like some of the
broad strokes of what to do but if you
actually tried to do like guest posting
or the skyscraper as is described on
like a blog post you're gonna be like
that does that actually work like I mean
you really have to work hard at
promoting it so when I look at some of
the content not all some of it's a
little bit just a little bit thin but
very well marketed it's like actually
lately I've seen Doug you probably seen
this too but it'll be like like top a
hundred swimming pool like cleaners and
it'll be like a skyscraper posts and
I'll be like what the hell is this
like you know like this it'll be like a
5,000 word article on some pretty
insignificant talk like topic and I
guess those people are trying the
skyscraper method yeah interesting it
works sometimes
I guess because they'll be at the top up
it I'll just be like holy there's like
this is a long post for this topic like
who I don't know would read it but it's
guys you okay
couple couple quick questions so we'll
try and blast through so who's the best
quality vendor for PB n links I don't
know I don't use him Dave doesn't use
them either right not not anymore no
okay all right cool so we don't know
Duke does mention buttons get about a
20% CTR all right and then James says
this will be the last question that I'll
let you go Dave what would be your top
tip for someone within the first 300
days of being a niche site entrepreneur
oh man just you know do your research
like like make sure make sure you don't
pick something a topic immediately like
sort of just sit on it for a bit like a
week or something if you if you think of
a good idea just wait before you publish
that that website and then if it's seems
like a good idea like a week later or
two weeks later and you've thought about
it and you've researched it then go
ahead and like start that website and
then just like start and then don't stop
for a little while just like work on it
for you know maybe two months straight
like posting every every three days for
two months and you know at that point
you can assess how it's going like once
you've done that put the posting and
stuff so something like that I don't
know if that made sense yeah I think the
I have a video James Kim so I have a
video I just posted it in there it's
called the first thousand days so
basically the first 300 days it's gonna
be a little frustrating and you're gonna
think yeah this is not working well and
I see other people that seem to be doing
really well and I don't understand why
because I seem smarter than Doug I seem
smarter than Dave and I don't know how
they're able to do it and you'll be fine
so just be persistent and expect it to
be frustrating watch the video I sent
you my friend Rob and I shot shot that
and
it is the thousand day rule has made
popular by the tropical mba guys so
check out that video James I think it'll
be really helpful
alright like you got a you got a blast
out of the gate though right don't you
think like when you're starting a site
like you just have to hustle some get
get some posts on the site like don't
stop at like three posts like try to get
to like twenty or something yeah so I
think there are yes I would say you can
start with ten or so yeah if you do if
you do you know three posts and you're
like this doesn't work then yeah you
haven't tried hard enough but I will say
you don't have I mean everyone has
constraints right so if you can only
publish one post per month for the next
three months that's fine there are
exceptions everywhere like no script to
do it so whatever you have to do is
totally fine if you don't have any money
that's fine you could write it yourself
and just take your time and it's gonna
seem pretty thankless too because not
there's not a lot of crazy activity
necessarily on the you know on the site
in the first three months so you're
gonna be kind of you know bored or
something but you have to just like
power through it indeed indeed alright
so David no you gotta go thanks for
hopping on and everyone I know a lot of
people joined up in the last little bit
we have a couple videos that Dave and I
did we're gonna come out on Monday so
it's like an update on Dave in general
then we're gonna have negative SEO and
how to deal with negative SEO and and I
mean we talked about it in in the video
so Dave you had some serious problems
with negative SEO really hit your bottom
line for a couple months so yeah go into
the weeds on that then we talked about
something better which is outage we have
all templates for this sort of cool
outreach method which I mean it's a it's
a spin on the same theme that we've
heard but we have templates that we'll
be able to share with everyone so thanks
a lot Dave really appreciate it no
problem take it easy
you too see ya see ya
and boom okay so it's just me for now
and I see Steve said it was in scum
school guys that says there's no sandbox
in the latest video with a guy who said
he got to $100 a day within six months
okay Steven I'm glad you brought that up
there's a video the reason why you got
out of the sandbox is because he used
the keyword golden ratio that was not in
the video with income school guys which
I can respect but let me pull up the
video with jarran and I will paste the
I'll paste the video in there so you go
watch that and I also had the pleasure
to talk with Jaron Jaron are you still
on here buddy
sorry sorry to say it like that but yeah
basically if you use the keyword golden
ratio you can get traffic sooner in my
hunches like the lower search volume
that you go for the better so Steven the
guy Jaron who's on this session arey was
earlier he got to $100 a day within six
months he used the keyword golden ratio
all right
Jeff says you're a five-figure niche
site student any question about review
versus informational okay great so
thanks Jeff
for mentioning you're a student with
products and an informational article
will they be reviewed as spammy by
Amazon no not in general examples of
them versus recommendations so in the
informational article if you can make a
recommendation to make you know make it
easier or faster or cheaper for the
person that's reading it then that's a
good recommendation right that is I mean
that's the kind of stuff you want to
have so it's like how to bullet journal
and then you could say hey like here's a
here's a great journal that you can get
this is what I use like that that's
totally fine Jeff that's a good thing to
do
Duke mentions that the income school
guys say also say that it takes six
months for Google to trust your site so
be patient indeed
okay as we're pushing through all right
we're talking more about the sandbox and
and stuff like that and basically I mean
if if you started a site you'll probably
get more traffic after six months than
before six months so if you call it a
sandbox or whatever then you can call it
that or you could call it something else
you could call it the waiting period or
whatever right it doesn't matter but it
takes six months for you to get more
traffic all right all right this is
we're going down here blah blah blah
patience encouragement everyone's cool
alright and thanks thanks everyone for
welcoming Dave on here I'm trying to
catch up so she'd assess when analyzing
the first page results for the ideal
keyword percentage should you analyze
posts that have all in title or analyze
all the first page results I don't
really I would say four I wouldn't do
either one of those if those are my only
choices I wouldn't do either one Patrick
what's up good to have you on Seto just
analyzed like two or three of the well
ranking sites that are similar to like
what your site would be so don't analyze
like the e-commerce sites or like a
YouTube video right other affiliate
sites for what you analyze you don't
have to analyze all of them you're just
trying to get close to the right
percentage not exactly match the
percentage Mohamed says on average how
many words total is it recommended to
site with 10,000 yeah that's a good
ballpark good ballpark there all right
Stephen says you just wanted my insight
you found a bunch of k-kids er terms for
example best birdfeeders for wisconsin
or other states should you do a massive
post with all the 50 states or single
posts I would probably do
I would probably do the 50 posts but
that's just a guess right
that's like borderline getting into like
local seo type ideas which I don't
typically do but you know just talking
about it I would maybe try the all 50
and then see what happens and then if it
doesn't work how you want it to work
then you could combine them and then see
what happens there all right
and yeah I posted a couple videos on on
the in the chat so do check them out
those are helpful I think the thousand
day rule if how many people let me know
in the chat in a thousand day or where
are you in your like journey have you
been doing this for a year how many days
roughly how many years just curious and
if you haven't I haven't paid much
attention but if you didn't hit the
thumbs up okay
so not that many thumbs up we actually
have two thumbs down as well so you know
thanks for that any feedback is good if
you could let me know what you don't
like that would be great yeah so if you
have the opportunity hit the thumbs up
if I was helpful if I answered your
question
alright Anthony says a certain post may
have a season based topic should that or
can that post be held off from being
published with the right time like three
or four months before the holiday
instead of immediately I would probably
just publish it immediately I think one
other thing this is a diet small
digression here I I've been working on
this frequently asked questions page so
I'm gonna put that out on Monday as well
there are something like 20 questions
and I went through I'm gonna add to it
but a lot of them are common ones of
course what theme views what hosting
like those sort of questions like I
found a keyword should I go for it the
search volume is 5,000 but it's the kgr
term stuff
like that so I answer those it's coming
out of Monday so keep an eye out for
that but you know some of the questions
a lot of it is you know we're
overthinking things and you know Anthony
in this question it shows like great
insight that you're trying to think
about how to do things the best way and
you're like oh it's seasonal should I
wait to publish it to give it like the
perfect amount of like age time or
publicity or something like that and
it's really hard to predict that even if
you have like tons of data it would be
really hard to be accurate in your
prediction because there's so many
assumptions for example look at the
weather
right like meteorologists have tons of
data like an unlimited amount of data
and they're still wrong quite often
maybe in certain geographies are like
much more accurate
I love sort of in the mountains it's
like the high you know higher plains and
mountains around me were like 5000 feet
the mountains really impact the weather
and elevation impacts the temperature so
like weather you get you know an inch of
rain or like eight inches of snow like
you could just be off by like one degree
the point is don't try and overthink
things like most of the time if you just
like do something it's it's better so
whether you publish it three months
before or immediately it probably
doesn't matter so I try I try to tell
people like don't don't even think about
in depth II don't even think about it
alright Mohammed says will be site work
without any backlinking purely on
content and proper keywords yes but it
depends Shubham says you've been into
this stuff for about seven months so
that's cool you're still within the
first year
acres is saying you'll check out the
thousand a video and let's see some
people Marcus is in for four hundred
days cool
Duke mentions the birdfeeder may be
great by a
region so 10 states per region just a
thought cool that'll be a good way to
approach it
ager says your site just achieved 90
publish post what are the next moves
what are my suggestions you're getting
20 to 30 visitors a day so Eggers is a
student of 5 figure niche site so Eggers
stick with the planet your app you I
know your your site's fairly young and
you're still you're actually going a
little faster than some people but I
would say continue everything super
simple right
continue publishing content right and
then continue getting your guest post
and you're you're really doing well with
a guest post so I would say continue
with that work and which you'll you know
at this point you may be able to get
some insight like once you get a few
more visitors acres are you out of the
sandbox by the way the thing is once you
start getting a little bit more in
traffic I think you can look at data and
start making some assumptions on like
where to add more content for example
and I think that would be a good thing
Anthony says like you wouldn't post a
Father's Day or Mother's Day post well
past its date if you wrote a few
articles wouldn't it be better in this
example here's the thing it'll come back
next year so either I would say like
either don't waste your time trying to
do seasonal stuff or just publish it and
then you know hope it'll come back
around if you have it out like if you
have a piece of content published then
hopefully the age will help it right
I think Shubham says yesterday you went
through a few ideas for starting a niche
site but you can't decide on what site
because it's confusing
what'll be more profitable and which is
less competition how do you decide well
it's a look that's difficult right so as
far as is more profitable you have to
look at the price of the products and
and like the popularity and the keyword
research right so you can make some
on that as far as a competition you
should analyze the competition look at
the backlinks look at the quality of the
content the length of the content age
all that stuff and then you know you can
determine if something is more
competitive or not and then you just
pick it will be hard you're probably
gonna have like three or four different
ideas that are all pretty much equal and
probably most of them will work and
maybe one of them is gonna be you know
more competitive or harder or something
like that but at the end of the day like
doing doing this stuff entrepreneurship
like you're making decisions based on
incomplete information so you just have
to make an assumption start doing
anything and then you can correct your
course along the way once you have more
data so hopefully that helps ooh boom
basically you just have to pick Anthony
says you have a site you built a site
for you sir how do you convince him that
writing blog post will not only help his
business but he can monetize later and
make passive income I would say how do
you convince someone well I mean I guess
you would just tell them about it and
say hey this is possible as far as like
writing blog posts and stuff I mean you
could probably introduce him to him or
her to him ideas on like content
marketing and just like getting traffic
and help the business like I would
approach it like that most likely ager
says how can I tell if the sandbox is
off it's basically six months is your
site younger or older than six months
Cendana says is reading a hard site to
beat in the ranking some good kgr terms
and they're a reddit post on page one
I'm not sure I haven't done much looking
at that but obviously right it's a big
site with a lot of like post information
some of it good
I don't know I don't have any first-hand
experience I could tell you that I
personally don't like to go to Reddit
because it's basically like a forum and
there's a lot of garbage in there and
there's a lot of posturing and just it's
I don't like Reddit very much like any
time I've taken a look I thought the
people were a little bit rude it's like
it's like internet comments right like
there's a decent amount of trolling and
like you don't know if the people that
are providing the information know what
they're talking about
again I don't spend much time there so
my impression is poor I know some people
love reddit I think people are jerks
there so is can you can you beat it I
don't know I would imagine it's kind of
like a forum Eggar says July is your
plan to decrease publish articles by
five to ten acres I think we should
probably take this offline to like you
can send me an email to the support
email of course I think decreasing the
