A guide with seven of the best Semrush features to grow your organic traffic, ideal for bloggers who may find this marketing tool a bit overwhelming.
Used by digital marketers, bloggers, and agencies alike, Semrush is one of the most popular SEO and marketing tools out there. But it is also one of the most expensive tools, offering a ton of features and a plethora of insightful data.
The feedback I often hear from bloggers is that Semrush is complex and overwhelming. And I agree, Semrush is definitely a tool that comes with a bit of a learning curve, especially when SEO is not one’s strongest skill.
In this Mediavine review, I will take you through the process of applying, getting approved, and setting up your website for ads. I will also shed some light on how my sites are performing, revenue and RPM-wise. And last but not least, I will share the pros and cons of being a Mediavine publisher.
Mediavine is a company that manages and optimizes ads on websites. Display advertising with Mediavine is very much hands-off. All you need to do, is install a WordPress plugin, configure some settings, and ads will display automatically.
The GeneratePress theme is a free, lightweight WordPress theme that offers excellent stability, speed, and accessibility.
While the theme is free, it is often combined with GP Premium, a WordPress plugin that allows you to add essential features, but only the features that you actually want to use. This setup keeps GeneratePress not only lightweight but also powerful and versatile.
I’ve been using GeneratePress for my sites for several years now, and in this review, I will share why I think it’s the best product on the market.
If you’re running a blog and you want to build an email list to grow your own audience, using a list-building tool to create popups and other opt-in forms is inevitable.
You could use a free tool, but if you want to be serious about email marketing, investing in a premium WordPress list-building tool is a no-brainer.
Having used several Thrive Themes products for my websites over the years, I thought it would be good to write a review about their WordPress themes, page builders, and plugins.
I can honestly say that discovering Thrive Themes several years ago was a turning point in my online business. Things have evolved since then, but I am still a happy user of various Thrive products.
Writing all the content for my websites myself is essentially a mission impossible. Outsourcing some of the writing is a no-brainer, but finding (and keeping) good writers can be quite the challenge.
I recently went through a recruitment sprint on OnlineJobs.ph, a job board for virtual workers in the Philippines. Whilst this website is mainly focused on finding virtual assistants, there are also good writers to find there.
A while back, I published a case study about a small website that generated good revenue within a short time frame, and after much thinking I decided to sell this affiliate website.
In this review of Empire Flippers, I am going to document the process of selling that website using them as the broker.
