You don't need fancy SEO tools to succeed

Did you know that I built a multi-six figure earning website without using—or paying for—a single SEO tool?

That's right.

No Ahrefs.
No Semrush.
No Surfer SEO.

I also built a brand new site from scratch in 2019 without any paid tool whatsoever and sold it one year later for over 100k in profit.

(Why? You ask. Because I I love a good challenge!)

Now, if you think that kind of success is out of your reach, I assure you it's not.

You CAN succeed with SEO too on a limited budget.

To get that level of success, here's what I did which you can copy:

1. I used Google's FREE Keyword Planner tool available in Google Ads to find a list of good keywords to target.
2. I searched Google for those keywords to check out the competition in the SERPs.
3. I used free backlinks checkers (there's a ton of them online) to analyze the backlinks of those top-ranking pages so I could see if they were easy to beat.
4. I wrote blog posts that included the best-of-the-best content from those top-ranking competitors while also filling in the missing gaps, like putting in more images, tables, charts, infographics, videos, quotes, externa links, etc.
5. I put the target SEO keywords in the right spots on the page that are proven to boost rankings.
6. I added a dash of E-E-A-T signals to satisfy Google's algorithm.
7. I did strategic internal linking with my keywords in the link anchor text pointing to the pages I wanted to rank.

Then, I waited patiently...

Over time, Google rewarded those efforts by ranking my site in the top 10 positions for hundreds of different keywords.

Good SEO + Patience = Success

Notice how I didn't say:

Good SEO + An Expensive SEO Tool + Patience = Success

That's because, unlike most SEO gurus (who insist you pay for expensive software to get results because they don't know any other way to survive), I always aim to SAVE you money with my recommendations.

There's a ton of free stuff out there for you to use to get results.

If you like that kind of attitude, then you'll get more of it here:
