SEO Chatter - Nobody cares about your website

Back in November 2022, something interesting happened.

My wife set up a family photoshoot for us to use the picture on our annual Christmas card.

And the whole time leading up to that event, my wife was showing me (almost daily) how great this photographer’s pictures were, the number of glowing reviews she had received, and how amazing she was at working with stubborn kids who won’t smile on command, can’t stay still, and have arm flailing tantrums, which are the exact qualities my kids were blessed with.

Anyways…

We show up to the location and out hops the photographer from her van, yelling, “Stephen? Is that you?!”

And standing right in front of me was an old friend from high school.

Which was a surprise because I had moved away from my hometown and hadn’t seen a soul from my old stomping grounds in past 20 years.

But out of nowhere that friend appeared, who now had 5 kids of her own and a thriving portrait photography business in the next town over.

After the photoshoot, we did some catching up.

She asked me what I was up to these days and I told her all about my SEO Chatter business and how I enjoy teaching people how to rank their websites higher on Google, refine their digital marketing strategies, and ultimately, rake in more money to support themselves.

That’s when my friend interrupted me.

She started bursting with details about how she had recently been dabbling in SEO and it paid off immensely after a single blog post.

Recently, she had learned a lead capture method using SEO where you write about topics that have local interest and posted them on her photography blog.

In this case, she wrote a blog post about the pros and cons of the prenatal clinics in the area for expecting mothers. She had 5 kids of her own and clearly had some keen insights on these places over the years.

The result?

That single blog post ranked locally for its target keywords and brought her several new clients for newborn portraits.

But sadly, nobody cared about it.

She had no one to talk to about her accomplishment. And no one cheering her on asking her to tell them about her new SEO blogging strategy.

No one in her circle of friends, not even her husband, understood how awesome it was that she used this thing called SEO and a simple blog post to drive paying clients to her photography business.

In a weird way, that chance event of seeing an old friend was one of the seeds that were planted in my mind to create the new SEO Chatter Mentorship program.

It’s built around the fact that although there more than 30 million of us bloggers, niche site creators, and affiliate marketers, most of us don’t have a group of friends to brag to, tell stories to, or just hear us out. There’s nobody to talk to about our passion or goals.

I’m sure you can relate.

That’s exactly why I created a Member Hangout in the SEO Chatter Mentorship.

It’s a place for us all to get together, hear what’s going on with our websites, share our wins, give each other tips and ideas to grow our businesses, etc.

At the end of the day?

It’s all about you.

And all of us connecting about our passions we spend so much time thinking about and trying to master.
