I Just Published Over 1,000 Blog Posts in 12 Months...

In 2023, we officially published 1,325 articles on Niche Pursuits!
​
This is by FAR the biggest publishing year since launching in 2011.

  • 95 written interview stories
  • 96 podcast episodes
  • 12 "opinion" pieces
  • 1,122 SEO focused articles

Traffic and Earnings are UP!

Here's a graph of how many blog posts I've published each year since 2017.

How well did my site do?

SEO traffic doubled in 2023! πŸ”₯

  1. Don’t swing for the fences. Select keywords that less authoritative sites are ranking for.
  2. Eliminate fluff. Authors need special approval to write anything over 2,000 words.
  3. Build smart internal links. I use Link Whisper to suggest and build internal links to and from each new article published. No article is published without at least 1 inbound internal link built. Link Whisper makes this, reporting, and other internal links tasks super easy. If you use coupon code "nichepursuits" at checkout, you'll get $25 off for the next couple of days ONLY!
  4. Standardize processes. To grow, you likely need help. Make it easy for others to get it right. If teenagers can run McDonalds with the right system, people can help you run your publishing business.
  5. Build an email list. This may not be a traffic or SEO strategy, but its a super smart business strategy once you start getting traffic.

If you want to get Link Whisper to help improve your internal linking, then use coupon code "NichePursuits" in order to save $25. (This is the biggest discount currently available for Link Whisper, but it won't last long).


Open AI Sued by New York Times Over Copyright + Google Update on NYE?

Jared and I just hit publish on a brand new episode for "This Week in Niche Pursuits News".

We cover the Open AI vs New York Times lawsuit...and it's a good one.

Turns out that affiliate marketing and the Wirecutter are at the core of this suit over lost commissions.

And did Google release an update on New Year's Eve?

(Signs point to yes).

Jared and I also share exactly how much money we made from the Amazon Influencer program in the month of December as well as the entire year of 2023!

And of course, we finish off the episode with a couple of "weird" niche sites.

Both of these sites are getting over 2 million visitors a month!

Go ahead and watch or listen to today's full episode right here.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks,

Spencer
