That’s exactly what it is.However, while all that may seem easy, the initial phase isn’t.To earn passive income online, you do the hard work now and reap thebenefits for years to come (or for the rest of your life if you’ve implemented theright systems).And what better way to choose the right side hustle and master it than to learnfrom the experts?

MY EXPERIENCE:Six-Figure Blogger was one of the best courses I’ve ever taken. I’m stillimplementing the strategies as there’s so much practical info in it.Every blogger earning 5 or 6 figures has mastered email marketing andsells digital products (which is passive income), and that’s the course youneed for these 2 areas of a blogging business (or any other businessonline).After taking the course, I switched to a better email marketing provider(ConvertKit), created automated welcome email series for my subscribers,started nurturing my email list more and connecting with my audience, andam now seeing a monthly growth of 500 subscribers to my newsletter!I also fine-tuned my premium online course and invested a lot of time inthe sales page of the product to make sure it gets the attention it deserves.I’m currently creating more digital products (such as printables) to add tomy overall blogging strategy and be able to offer to email subscribers atevery stage of the customer journey.Alex and Lauren also have a course for bloggers who are just starting out.It’s called Launch Your Blog Biz and it teaches you how to start a blog andget to 1,000/month in blog revenue.In addition, they’ve created a discounted bundle.

ALSO INCUDES:Spreadsheets to help you with tracking keywords and top pagesTutorials on how use the right tools for keyword and competitoranalysisHow to make sure your site is relevant and make the most of yourcategory pagesDeveloping a content strategyContent and SEO auditsHow to do blogger outreachHow to use your competitor’s backlinks to your advantageHow to use the Google Search Console to find pages losing trafficand internal linking opportunitiesHow to track your SEO progressMY EXPERIENCE:I purchased Stupid Simple SEO around November 2019 and wentthrough it over the course of a few weeks. There’s so much valuableinformation in it and it’s all about bloggers. You get all you need toknow about SEO in one convenient place.What’s more, this is the course that inspired me to take action tooptimize my site like never before. I re-organized my categories andsite structure, changed the design of my homepage, created specificpages (called silo pages) that contain the best information I have on acertain topic and then redirected the category page to it. That helpswith user experience but also rankings and relevance (it tells Googlewhat your site is about).I’m constantly going back to old content anddelete/update/republish it. It’s part of my overall content and SEOstrategy. Every piece on the site should serve a purpose.
I also used Ahrefs (it’s an expensive tool but Mike shows a way to use itfor free to complete the tasks from the course) and for the first time,identified my main competitors. I also saw their top pages andbacklinks and learned a lot from it. That data is now extracted andsaved so I can access it any time.I also saw my top pages, the keywords I already rank for, my dofollowbacklinks, and so much more. If it wasn’t for this course, I wouldn’tknow what to do with all this data. But now, I was able to go to blogposts of mine that rank on Google (but not in the first few positions)and optimize them more so they can increase their rankings. Also,some pages were ranking well for a keyword although I’ve optimizedthem for another phrase. Now, I went back to them and changed thisto give them a boost.All this is a long-term strategy but SEO is something every bloggerneeds to master at some point if they want to bring traffic to their blogevery month. And this is how passive income is generated. You cancreate multiple sites on specific topics (these are called niche sites)and optimize each using the SEO techniques outlined in this course torank it high. Each site can be monetized with ads and affiliate links sothey can make you money forever.LEARN MORE ABOUTSTUPID SIMPLE SEO
