How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by setting up an automated AI blogging system. You can use a tool like "Machine" to cluster keywords and publish content directly to your WordPress site. This lets you focus on selecting a niche and performing keyword research to find topics your audience cares about.
A good way to do this is by picking a niche that excites you and using AI tools to generate a list of subtopics and keywords. For example, if your niche is fitness, subtopics could include nutrition or strength training. Then, use these keywords to create content plans that your AI will execute.
When writing, ensure the AI-generated content is relatable. Use first-person statements and share your experiences to make the text more engaging. It's also essential to humanize content by following the E-E-A-T principles – showcasing your experience and authority and ensuring trustworthy content.
Add internal links to tie articles together and use relevant, unique images to make posts pop. Also, optimize for SEO with proper keyword placement, avoiding unnecessary keyword stuffing.
To monetize, explore affiliate marketing and ads. Join affiliate programs that align with your niche and strategically place links within your content. Consistently publish at least 10 articles a month to steadily build authority and revenue.
Lastly, consider building an email list using exit-intent popups for future promotions, creating a passive income stream over time.

finished article now again if you're interested in using this and getting a discount on this tool just for my audience make sure to click the machine. affiliate Link in the description below it comes fully recommended by me there's tons of different tools to use but this one for me it's the simplest and fastest so the question is if everyone can publish an article in 30 seconds what do we actually do well we have to know that creating content in the real business here is actually nuanced we can't just publish this as is we do need to uh do some humanization so let's get into what I'm calling the five-part humanizing system so there's going to be five sections of this first is eat so eat is experience expertise authoritativeness and trustworthiness this is a Google ranking metric that they use in their quality Raider guidelines so is the article helpful does it provide original information reporting research and Analysis so we have to add things and humanize this article and the first part of that in my experience is adding your experience or your expertise why should people like and trust you when they start reading your content for example I like this example so there's hardhead veterans.com this is an article about night vision goggles and you can see the guides here and what this says here is you need a a sentence like this about yourself so you know each mounting system was tested and purchased by keeping our reviews independent we can ensure they're unbiased we are a group this is the key here we are a group of formal combat veterans with lifetimes of experience working with lights out draw many of our comments about these systems from that experience so 12 experts at 16 models 62 reviews this is showing expertise and trustworthiness right here so if you're reviewing things or you're just writing howto guides on different topics make sure that you're adding your most impressive statement about yourself just so that makes look like you're very much an expert and have a lot of experience in the topic now number two is firstperson experience so in a world of AI content and tons and tons of Articles being written the ones that stand out and actually will rank online and make money are the ones that come from first person person experience so if you're writing stuff and you're not adding anything to the conversation you're just pulling bits of information from the internet which is what a lot of AI tools do you're not going to rank so you have to add your own take on things an example of this that I like is the homesteading family.com and their Harvest freeze dryer review so here's some examples you know what is a freeze dryer they're indeed the most expensive blah blah blah so what you can see is it's kind of this but then it says here's the review I've had my Harvest freeze dryer for over a year now the other day a friend asked me if it's excited about when I first got it well I'm actually more excited actually blah blah blah to be very honest I wasn't very excited I felt that it was kind of extravagant so in full transparency they contacted us a year ago we agreed to post to review whether positive or negative so as I mentioned I was very skeptical so a lot of eye statements this is totally from personal experience they're ranking really well for this they're not just doing a broad generalized review of the product they're saying I was skeptical I got it I tried it all of these different things what I liked what I didn't like so that's something that you need to add into your content strategy as well simple firstperson statements that come from you now the third humanizing element is just adding internal links in so we have to add internal links now what's nice is machine. actually does this for us as you saw you can set it to link to everything in the cluster so it automatically does this for us however if you don't have if you're not using this tool you'll have to add internal links one example that I like of this is the site outdoor gear lab so this is an article on the best backpacking tents of 20124 they organize their internal links really nicely where it's just all in one paragraph so you hit the intro and then you you can see you know camping checklist this is an article on tents but they have the sleeping bags sleeping pads backpacks hiking boots tents and a camping checklist all easy to see in one area simple internal links linking to other stuff what's nice though is machine will do that for you and it'll keep the links in the same cluster which is also important for SEO but that's another thing you have to do so the humanizing part comes after the draft is done but that's number three now number four is images so images is a controversial topic when it comes to content like how many do I need what kind of IM should I add what Niche you know what it totally depends on the niche for example if you're in software most of your images are going to be helpful screenshots right because the images need to be as helpful as possible a lot of people like to just add some AI images randomly throughout the content and that's not helping it's just adding stock images in so I don't think like stock photography is good unless you're doing a really long list of like lifestyle type of things what you need to do is an example that I like is this article uh from garage gym reviews on the uh 10 best adjustable dumbbells first of all their featured image has a lot of their own unique images in it there's eight images in here but you can see it's just simple images all right people using the products these images are unique that don't exist anywhere else are they helpful well they're showing the product they're not like maybe the most helpful but they are showing people using the product so the question is do I have to actually use the product myself buy the product not necessarily but it can only help if you actually are showing yourself using the product so here's what I would do for humanizing and adding images into content if you're doing business software Finance it's mostly just going to be screenshots of different things that you do online for example if I'm using a piece of software I'll go into the trial take a screenshot and use awesome screenshot to add arrows and things like that to make it unique if it's something like gardening then just go out in your garden take a 100 pictures of yourself one day planting everything that you might need tomato strawberries all the images that you want you can just take a ton of pictures so get those ready for your blog because adding images is important I think maybe five images per article is good but that's something that you will want to do yourself the fifth and final thing in this humanizing system is removing fluff and crappy content so here's an example of the problems with AI content it can say things like in the fast-paced realm of the digital age or we delve into the pivotal role sto plays in today's digital landscape in an Ever evolving Digital World sometimes he can come up with these broad generalized sentences just fluff that doesn't matter that isn't helpful so you want to do some editing on that content add your own t like I said with the first person experience but then just remove the crappy sentences if you find any and add your own elements in there so that's the really simple process for Content creation you publish it with machine. a you do the five-part humanizing stuff and then you publish you can always update it later we'll get into monetization but let's get back to the beginning and that is the niche selection keyword research getting the keywords that actually got to put into machine. because that's a really important part we need to know in this AI model and automation where is human input needed it's typically needed at the beginning with the actual strategy of the keywords and then at the end with the humanization but let's get into first Niche selection so your Niche is really the foundation it's why your blog exists in the first place if we're creating content any type of content we need to know what our Niche is we have to come from it from the perspective of wanting to help a single audience now the goal here is to figure out your niche in about 10 minutes this is something I've been teaching people for like years and it's actually gotten easier and easier with AI so we're going to dive deep into a couple examples here but what we want to do is we're going to use this free AI framework you can get if you click uh the link in the description below for the free AI stuff it's what I call the AI Niche Hunter Niche Hunter so I'm going to copy all the text here what you do is just copy all this text and you paste it into something like Claude you can see a lot of people are actually using this right now because I've shared it quite a few times so you paste this into CLA you hit enter if you don't know what your Niche is so it will give you examples it's a really long system prompt so you want to provide your niche of Interest so let's say I want to get into fitness and I'm going to say building muscle is the niche so I just put that in now what it'll do is it's going to give me five sub niches this is basically my categories of content that I would create on a website so number one nutrition for muscle growth strength training techniques recovery and rest for muscle development muscle building for different body types and advanced muscle building techniques so what it'll do is then you can pick one of these sub niches and then it'll come up with 20 keywords for you so I'm going to say nutrition for muscle growth now what it'll do here is it's going to give me 20 keywords just this is good for brain brainstorming this is like how do I create a foundation of what my content's actually going to be and it'll give you some affiliate posts it'll also give you some pillar post some really important ones you want to focus more on like The Ultimate Guide to nutrition for muscle growth and then things like protein powder Mass Gainer supplements as an affiliate post and then a lot of other just info posts things like nutrient timing protein synthesis fish oil supplements is another affiliate one how to need uh read nutrition labels for muscle gain all these different things so gives you a solid foundation let's try another Niche real quick this time I'm going to do something Financial I'm going to say day trading some nice risky day trading let's trade stocks during the day buy and sell maybe buy high sell low whatever you want to do uh beginning day tra beginner day trading strategies technical analysis risk management specific markets like Forex stocks crypto things like that and then Advanced Techniques so you can see when it gives you these five sub Niche ideas it's like this is the entire content plan when you think of your niche as a whole on your website when you're thinking about this you want to think of it as what's the most helpful to an audience it's usually these are like the five categories you'd come up with so I'm going to say my will be technical analysis I'm going to say that and then again it'll give me 20 keyword ideas so things like The Ultimate Guide to technical analysis how to read interpret Candlestick patterns Fibonacci retracements line Trends moving averages tons of really good ideas here that you could write so you get the point this is the initial brainstorm this is the way to look at different ideas and say okay this is a niche that I actually want to get get into I I would enjoy writing about but the goal here is to find an endless supply of keywords because if we want to make a lot of money both with ad revenue and affiliate Revenue we're going to need a lot of Articles over time so we need an endless supply of low competition keywords right things that are not saturated we want to make this as effortless as possible if we're going to scale our content we want to actually make money so we can do this in one sitting basically if we wanted to for the whole year with keyword research I personally do it once a month to evaluate the previous do some keyword research for the next month however this could be automated to where you do it once a year if you really wanted to I recommend once a month but it is a pretty easy system so let's get into that the tool I'm using here is HRS just to come up with some ideas this is I'll show you how I got the mountain biking ideas so what I did is you just put the keyword into the keyword Explorer and it's going to give you all the information on it the difficulty the search volume every month Global search volume all of that if I go to the matching terms tool it's going to give me everything else that includes the word mountain bike biking so mountain biking shoes it's a little bit broad right you can put your nichan into this keyword search bar and it's going to give you kind of every keyword possible there's 14,000 in here so how do we narrow it down to find better opportunities well there's two ways I'm going to say how plus the niche so how mountain bike that'll include everything that includes the word how plus mountain bike so how to mountain bike how to size it how much is it how much does it weigh how to do a wheelie how to choose one how to measure one how to bleed the brakes how to buy one so a lot of good ones how to clean it how to raise the handle all these helpful informational content that would be helpful to the audience so how plus the niche is one and then best plus the niche is another so best plus the niche will give you all the different transactional like reviews that you could write so the best electric mountain bikes budget bikes helmets shoes grips full suspension bikes pedals gloves helmets again bikes under 5,000 so you get the point like when you think of one category of mountain bikes like oh there's just mountain bikes well actually there's you you know 6,600 potential keywords you could write about different products in there mountain bike Saddles when you realize that like a little bit of Niche experience is good because a lot of these topics go really deep like I don't know a ton about mountain biking but there's things like cross country mountain bike all around mountain bikes under 500 the best seats the best women the best men's tons and tons of different articles that you could write add affiliate links in and then get commissions anytime someone purchases through those so that's kind of the easy way it's like you put in your Niche then you put in how then you put in best and you find the mixture of info content and also the best transactional content now you'll see though you have to take a step further and really think about your Niche because when I added mountain biking I thought to myself well what are the main categories there's again how to an info how to size it how to use it but then there's like the products best grips pedals gloves helmet bikes but also more info would be Trails what are the best mountain bike trails in Michigan Sedona Florida Moab Arizona Colorado you can use what you're finding is a seed phrase that allows you to add an extra word and then find like 50 to 100 possible articles for example mountain bike trails is one where if I add the specific location there's tons of them and I'm going to show you some of those too it's finding the seed phrase this is the infinite keyword Loop for example I just put in the keyword how to plus iPhone and you can see the amount of iPhone content 690,000 keywords and I can drop the difficulty down to like five make it only the easiest stuff to rank for it's having a little issues today keep having hit try again but you'll see there's still 46,000 potential articles you could write about how to restart the iPhone how to share the location how to delete wallpaper how to record how to turn it off how to turn it on how to transfer data hide photo hide photos restart send things just an unlimited amount of keywords when it comes to informational content about an iPhone or iPads or laptops and things like that or you could look up like if you're a food blogger you look up recipes there's a million keywords related to recipes I could even narrow it down and put it to like vegan recipes and I can see there's still 15,000 of them I'll drop the difficulty again down to five to find the easy ones and then it'll show me how many 647 vegan recipes that are easy to rank for vegan appetizer soul food Halloween portabella mushroom air fryer you get the point you find the seed phrase then you find other words that are kind of variables in there that give you hundreds of ideas and this is very dependent on the niche like do you do more transactional product reviews do you do more howtos do you do more informational content it really depends on the niche every single Niche is different for examp example baby products are primarily actually transactional reviews you know if I'm searching for the best baby stroller I'm not going to Google like how to install a stroller they're all different I'm not going to say how do I push a stroller it doesn't make sense I just want to know what the best and safest ones are so if I put in best plus baby there's 49,000 products that you could write about again dropping the difficulty down to five to keep it as easy as possible and there are still 3 3,397 keywords so wipes books GIFs Walkers detergent shampoo tubs soap swings bottles play pens warmers you get the point there's literally billions of people searching on the internet for all kinds of things and you'd be amazed at how many keywords are in a specific Niche now if you're in Fitness this could be workouts so I'm going to narrow it down even more cuz there's 96,000 I'm going to say like leg workouts and then from there I'll drop the difficulty again down to 10 and then I'll say show results and basically I still have 340 different leg workouts with dumbbells at the gym band leg at home with a machine cable right all these different things C kettlebell leg workouts all kinds of things so a lot of them are easy ideas posts living room ideas blue living room ideas gray living room ideas or like tattoo ideas or party ideas 40th birthday party 50th birthday party baby birthday party wedding anniversary all these things that just have tons and tons of individual posts that you could write but the thing is though not every Niche is this easy sometimes I get examples from students where it's actually kind of difficult it's like hm you have to really think about it so you have to think of what is helpful and how do I do it so let's look at a little bit of like more difficult ones so I put in homesteading now homesteading is a really good Niche there's tons of different things you can talk about from gardening and creating your own food to the freeze drying like we showed you making things in the house survival things all kinds of things of living in a homestead however from a keyword perspective it's kind of hard to find what the seed phrase is because I can't put in homesteading there's not going to be like best homesteading products that word's not going to be in there or how to Homestead there's only a couple articles there what you can do here is actually look at the competition and see what their strategy looks like so I put in homesteading family.com into HRS you can see they're getting about 140,000 visits a month so you can see what are they ranking for well it's kind of random right it's when it comes to gardening it's actually not just using the word gardening how to garden best gardening tools it's more or less the most search volume for gardening comes through the actual searches of the actual things like pickles and strawberries and potatoes and the actual plants themselves so you'll see here it's like yes they have the freeze dryer but then they have what do chickens eat a cucko ky Pig whatever the hell that is pickled egg recipe how to plant carrots so that's one how to plant how to plant carrots strawberries potatoes that would be a seed phrase how to plant in a gardening one much like a musical blog would be how to play blank on the piano or the guitar or something like that but you'll see individually it's like chicken soup time plant puree bone broth eggnog so it's like the specific food or vegetable item is actually kind of the Endless keyword Loop here another one that can be tricky is best tools like let's say you have a DIY blog and you want to review power tools well you can't just put in best power tools yes that's a keyword but that's kind of limiting right so and if I put in best tools it's going to say like SEO tools AI tools like software stuff so how would I find you know all the different things that I'd want to review at a power tools and DIY blog well I have to kind of know a little bit about the niche I have to know what a framing nailer is to be able to know to search for that so this is where the niche experience can come in when you know the keywords a little bit better than everyone else it will help you in your keyword research for example I'd have to know what a pole saw is to put in best pull saw to see that there's actually 300 variables of best battery pull saw electric pull saw cordless pull saw it's a long pole with a chain little mini chainsaw on the end to cut branches off trees easy keyword but this the seed phrase is kind of hard to find unless you know what it is so often times with a little bit of the more difficult niches where you can't quite find the huge amount of content easily you have to have a little bit of Niche experience and that can help so really finding the keywords could take you 10 minutes or it could take you a couple days depending on the niche you're trying to get into so you could use a tool like HRS which is a bit expensive but you could use it one time and then cancel if you wanted to for the whole year or you could use a tool like key search if you wanted to as well which is a cheaper option but really topical Authority trumps everything else so it's the most important factor how many articles do you actually need because I did this with my blog I started writing about Instagram YouTube blogging stuff and it took a while to start getting some traction you know it took getting 20 articles in one category before any of them started ranking so you need some level of topical authority meaning you need a good amount of Articles to rank that really trumps everything else and every Niche is a little bit different depending on how many articles you actually need now to me I think it is actually more about the keywords that you pick and the helpfulness of your site overall than it is about the perfect words on the page Google everyone tries to get the perfect words on the page but I think ultimately it's also just about choosing easier stuff to rank and having the site be helpful overall look at every article is it helpful to your audience or not so it's really the content strategy as a whole that makes sense more than having a perfectly written article every time you don't need that I mean imagine a cite about pickle ball for example and you only talked about products like the best pickle ball paddles what about the things like how to find local courts the strategy how to do stuff with it like it's kind of limiting if you don't know the full arching strategy of your content that's kind of what I did here with the mountain biking one so you have pillar post here mountain biking The Ultimate Guide to mountain biking the other pillar transactional post the best mountain bikes and best electric mountain bikes and then another pillar post here the best mountain biking trails overall now you can see I put some notes in here like I would just say all the like howt how to size a mountain bike these pillar posts are like important you spend more time on these best mountain bikes best electric mountain biking and the best Trails like you'd spend a lot more time on those because they're big pillar posts they're important and then things like how to jump on one how to clean it how to shift gears how to tune it up those are more what I call it glossery content you shouldn't spend as much time on it it should be more automated but you can see you want to link all of these helpful in howto post up to the main pillar posts that's really good internal linking strategy same thing with all the random products like grips pedals gloves link them all up to best mountain bikes best electric mountain bikes and then all the random Trails like Michigan Sedona you would link this in the early part you would say in this article on the Sedona mountain bike trails you could say you know put the target keyword of mountain bike trails and add an internal link to the main one right here somewhere early on that's just kind of a hierarchy telling Google a little bit what's more important now you want to link in between them as well but these pillar post should be getting more links from the other ones but this is a pretty good you just have to think about it from an overall content strategy so really the most important part is choosing the right keywords just getting started choosing the right keywords we need to know where human interaction is needed again at the beginning and the end then we have to format the article so we don't need any more like these fancy crazy SEO tools like Surfer SEO or things like that we're optimizing the perfect SEO it's more or less you just need that keyword that you chose you need that in the title of the article the H1 you need it in the URL so just the URL string should just be the keyword itself with dashes in between the words you should have it in an H2 heading in the form of a question so any post is written with an intro and then an H2 the secondary heading which is the most important under the title with your target keyword in it other than that you just make it really good and make it your own you don't over optimize it and try to stuff keywords in there so how much do you publish well there's no perfect exact number for Speed sake but I would aim to publish at least like 10 articles a month we have some students publishing a 100 articles a month some publishing 20 some publishing four I used to say publish like one a week I think that that's really not the case anymore I think you have to be a little bit faster than that at least like 10 articles a month I think and really build this in the background of your life the goal here is to create an automated style of business that can get things like ranking on Google over the course of time and making money month after month after month for the work you did initially so you have to perform the process first yourself though we don't want to just immediately get to automation to the point where we're not doing anything and we don't actually know what we're doing there's a lot of little Nuance to this stuff so you have to perform the process yourself first get really good at it and then start making some money and then get Maybe AI writer or somebody to help you do the editing do the formatting so that you can spend more time on the monetization aspect this content machine never really stops it you just keep publishing and Publishing get more and more automated get better and better now let's get into the monetization so first is ADS so banner ads on a website really simple it's the easiest form of monetization once it's up and running you don't have to do anything but you don't have to really focus on it at the beginning you aim to get your traffic to 10,000 visits a month and then you just join a media uh an ad Network like media Vine you automatically add a plugin it gets on to your site it's really easy it's simple I call ADS The Last Resort of monetization sometimes because when you think about it they aren't buying something from you they aren't clicking an affiliate link so selling your own product like a course is the most lucrative because you're making 100% of the revenue selling someone else's product like affiliate is the second most lucrative because you're getting a commission could be anywhere from 2 5% up to 30% occurring so you're making a good amount there ads are kind of The Last Resort they're not clicking anything they're not buying anything they're just scrolling through the article however you still want to get paid for that traffic because we know like 98% of people that are using websites aren't going to like click on your links buy stuff most people aren't going to do that so we have to still monetize them we can do it with ads it's really simple for me I don't make a ton of money with ads but you can see like uh in September 354,000 sessions I made 2500 bucks somewhere between $70 $80 a day or 80 or $90 a day or something like that so it's pretty consistent and it's a good little Revenue stream to have the second income stream is affiliate marketing so I was an affiliate manager in my career working for a big software company and I became an affiliate and this is the primary source of Revenue through my blog I've made over a million dollars three years in a row with affiliate marketing I think I'm pretty good at it it's a really interesting strategy so really you want to join affiliate program so have those best the the ones that make the most money are going to be your best transactional product categories yes there's a lot of different articles you you can write on like this product versus that product or this product review and yes you can write all these different types of affiliate articles but still the ones that are going to make the most money are ranking for your best transactional main product categories that best mountain bike the best electric mountain bike those big category terms that a lot of people search for so what you want to do in your Niche is find 10 affiliate programs that you want to join so search for it you could even use chat GPT and do a search super simple give me 10 affiliate programs in the camping Niche that I can join and I'll say all right REI Co-op offers wide range of gear even gives the commission right the cookie duration Backcountry Cabellas outdoor vitals Camping Worlds so you get the point it's super easy to find different things now the products that convert the best because again they have to click on your link get to that product page and then buy something the companies that convert the best are usually the most popular ones the ones that everyone knows with the mid-tier price points not the most expensive option in the world not the cheapest one but the most popular one affiliate articles are really easy to create you can use machine or another tool like that but then it's just a simple list post with the introduction this is one on CRM software I have what is the best and then just affiliate links here now you can get all fancy with content blocks and stuff like that but if you're just starting out you really don't need to it's just simple content features and images with affiliate links most people click the text based affiliate links it's not images or banners or anything like that it's just going to be the main text based buttons and text that people will click on now another way to automate your affiliate links is actually to use a plugin like like thirsty Affiliates and use automation so I use thirsty Affiliates it's a way to organize your links let's say the affiliate link changes for example well every time you'd have to update it like say 30 times on your website with thirsty Affiliates you wouldn't have to do that you just update it once in the dashboard here but this is my link for like 3D card a random e-commerce platform the way to automate it is you can use this thing called autolink keyword so enter a list of keywords you us to automatically link with this affiliate link so I could say every time I say 3D card it's an affiliate link so you could do that every time so you could train your writer if you had an AI writer just do it yourself if you had this thing you could say every time I say get started with 3D cart that's going to be a link so every time someone writes that out maybe you add that before every button that you add now all of a sudden every time it's an affiliate link which is really good you want to know follow the link yes you can say open it in a new window yes as well so with affiliate marketing you want to organize it kind of like your keywords so in one spreadsheet literally just add all your keywords in that you want to write in another tab you can just create add all the affiliate programs in so add 10 in you know and do it that way another way to find them is through affiliate marketplaces so let's say you're in software you would use an affiliate Network like partner stack you can see I have a partner stack account I've made 1.3 million in commissions since mainly 2021 uh 30k pending $4.4 million in revenue for software companies it's a lot of stuff so but you go to discover Partnerships here and you can just see new ones so you could say this is a good way to find them so let's say I wanted to do uh artificial intelligence software and I wanted to do something like this AI email deliverability tool well they pay over $100 a month per lead plus a 25% recurring lifetime commission so if somebody signs up for a $100 a month plan you make $25 a month as long as that customer remains a customer so it's a good way to find like even find some new keyword ideas things like aicm tools or motion is a creative ad tool things like that so another way is to find it in affiliate Network marketplaces so you publish articles without affiliate links wait till they rank on page two or so and start getting a little bit of traffic and then you worry about joining and adding the affiliate links in a lot of people say I haven't been approved to the program it's probably because you have no traffic yet there's no reason to join affiliate programs until you have some level of traffic but affiliate marketing is great because you can make a lot more money per visitor than you do with ads ads alone you might get a $10 $20 RPM with affiliate marketing you can make five 10 or even 20 to 30 50 times more than that per visitor if you're doing it in different categories now the third way to mon the most lucrative the most long- term is selling your own product right that's what a business is selling products and services so with that we the main uh way to monetize content this way is to build up your email list and then sell something so to build your email list you need an exit intent popup because that's the main way that people will join an email list it's not finding a form somewhere in your content it's actually just a popup that people will find that's like 95% of signups so you give them a lead magnet they're giving you your email uh their email so you give them a lead magnet of some kind now you can look at back at my site this is actually it's a little bit broken but this is the web Archive of my site back in 2019 you can say I was teaching blogging and stuff instant SEO results this is my traffic when it first started right 6,500 a month I thought it was really cool featured on different sites it's all a little bit broken but you can see when I go to leave there's a picture of me here and I would say yeah want a free 7-Day course to make money blogging faster free 15-page step-by-step WordPress blog launch checklist free 7-Day guided email course get free access this single lead magnet back 2019 and 2020 it got me 40,000 email subscribers it launched uh blog growth engine when I launched that in 2021 and it that Revenue has helped me realize that people wanted to learn this stuff and actually helped like the YouTube channel everything but this is kind of a blast from the past looking back at 2019 at the website and what it looked like my younger self looking 27 years old so it's kind of funny to see uh but what you want to do is you have a lead magnet that's kind of a teaser of your products uh things that's really helpful for your audience something that they would sign up and get their email for you want to be direct and Powerful with your messaging you don't want to say join my Weekly Newsletter no one would want to join that so you need like numbers in the title things that are really interesting that people would want but then you get them into the email sequence then it's automated uh through convertkit or another tool like that and then you can just send automated emails into your paid product so it's a longer term thing so those are the three main ones when it comes to creating content ads affiliate marketing selling your own products there's also a couple more like getting sponsors which sponsors can pay to be added to articles or pay you for sponsored content and then selling services so selling services you could start your own mini agency through your website and charge clients 2 3 4 $5,000 a month to do all of this content for them rather than for yourself now those strategies in and of themselves require separate videos I've created videos on those so you can check out other videos on my channel on that I'm not going to cover them now um if you want to go on deep on those other monetization streams just search my channel for them there's a ton so this is what the blog automation system looks like basically chat GPT or clad plus a keyword tool for Content planning so that's you and the Machine then machine. a for the outlining and drafts that's simply the machine and then the five-part humanizing system is simply a human getting to formatting and Publishing right we just need to do those final touches so we can rank on Google and then monetization that's going to be all you there's a little bit you can do but that's going to be on you so really it's the blog semi automation system because really nothing you know passive income is is a great thing to aim for but we have to put work in we want to automate it just to make speed up the process make as much progress in as little time as possible but there's nothing that's truly fully 100% automated that's actually making money people that are trying to tell you the dream on that are actually lying to you especially on YouTube they're like just do it automatically it's actually there's a lot of nuance to this people get stuck people need help people need coaching all of that so it's really AI plus Outsourcing that is more automated so you still want to do the initial strategy the keyword strategy but you could Outsource the humanization the formatting and Publishing so you just do the keyword research and then worry about adding affiliate links and monetization that is more automated but when you think about it any business can be automated you could automate a lawn care business if you hire a couple teenagers to cut lawns for you right so it really just depends on the type of business model you have but that's pretty much what the strategy would look like so real quick you can see some student wins in our communities this is Christina when she joins her Dr was and revenue with zero this is monthly data and she got up to uh $155,000 a month and Dr of 41 which is really good we can also see something Paul 10K in affiliate sales you
