Ezoic or Mediavine | Which is Best?
Oh no, not another Which is best blogs! Ha Ha Well not really, this is not a conventional ‘which is best’ blog because to be honest, I don’t do conventional. However, I am going to tell you my personal opinion on the two. Ezoic vs Mediavine is a long and continuing argument within the affiliate marketing world and will continue to be so for a lot longer. However, I’m not here to tell you which is best. Well, In a way I am. I’ll explain why you could choose either Ezoic or Mediavine depending on what you’re looking for. I’m simply going to share my experience and let you figure it out yourself, whether that’s Ezoic or Mediavine. I think there’s a name for that – ‘Projecting your thoughts’ – or something. Anyway, let’s get into this. Ezoic or Mediavine? Why am I talking about it and who am I to judge? Well, I’m a customer of both for a start and secondly, I have had some experience with both for some time now with several websites, which puts me in a good position to point out the Good and Bad about both. Let’s start with the basics. https://youtu.be/wc2QoyQUQa4 How much Traffic do you Need to Sign Up for Either? Both companies have a minimum level of traffic or visitors, needed to become a partner with them. That’s because they sell advertising space on each website and it needs to be worth their while. The setup costs and time spent nursing you through the initial process has to be worth their while, Right? The traffic needed for your first site is: Ezoic: 10,000 Sessions per monthMediavine: 25,000 sessions per month Sessions are unique visitors to your site, not pageviews. Otherwise, you could get only a hand full of people who flick through dozens of pages which would look good in your pageview stats but are fewer people for either Ezoic or Mediavine to target with ads and therefore not as much potential for selling products through ad space. The traffic needed to add a second or third site is: Ezoic: 5000 sessions per monthMediavine: 10,000 sessions per month Once you have your first site set up with either Ezoic or Mediavine, it’s much easier and quicker for them to add a second, third or more sites without the need to vet or process you as a new customer. Hence, they allow you in with lower traffic. Plus, they trust the quality of your work at that point. How Long and Easy is it to Get Approved? With both companies, the process is relatively short. My experience with Ezoic has always taken around 5-10 days maximum and with Mediavine, the application process is longer around 10-14 days. This is partly because Mediavine is stricter than Ezoic and only allow really good quality sites through the process. Why? So, they can approach the bigger Blue-chip and Forbes 500 companies to sell your ad space to. Which in return commands a higher price. That’s good for them and good for you! The process is pretty painless with each application to be fair, but like-for-like, Mediavine is easier as they place all the ad sets for you once approved. You simply give them access to your Google Analytics then download a sheet from your Google Dashboard (which is very easy to get), then sign a contract. Oh, yes… Let’s mention the contracts before I forget. With Ezoic there is no contract as such; it’s simple to get out if you decide to move to another company like Mediavine or Adthrive. However, once you sign up with Mediavine, you enter into a contract and should you wish to leave or move, then you’ll need to give them enough notice to quit. Why? Because they buy your ad space in advance, so they often sell ads on your site 2-3 months in advance; promising the buyer that their adverts will be on your site for a set period of time. Which is totally understandable. If you want to learn more about Ezoic’s terms and conditions and revenue details, or even join them you can click here. Do you Need to Redirect DNS with Ezoic No, now I’m glad I’m getting the chance to tell you this as many people think that because Ezoic asks you to redirect your name server to them when you first sign up, that unless you do it, they will refuse you. They will ask, trust me and they will ask again! But you can say ‘no’ and choose to place the ad sets manually (Ad sets are just the ads, how many and where). This is done through a Chrome extension plugin and is very simple to do. By not redirecting your DNS you have full control over your site: If you have any issues with your server or hosting your hosting company like Siteground, for instance, will take care of you as normal. Once you give your DNS over to Ezoic, you lose that safety net from your hosting supplier. Why do They Ask for DNS Redirection? Ezoic has a lot of apps and plugins that can help your site. They also play around with the ad sets and experiment with placements to get you the best return on your ads. Having your DNS gives them the flexibility to get the most out of your ads and allows their AI technology to learn and grow with more user experience. However, in my experience and I reiterate, it is my opinion, and not founded on any technical jargon – you don’t need to do that. They designed a plugin so why not use it? It works just fine! Which Pays More? Ezoic or Mediavine? Ah, I knew you’d get to this point sooner or later and why not. We are in it for the money, right? Let’s not be shy about these things. Again, I can only go by my experience and from what I have experienced with two sites on each. They are both in the same niche and in fact, the same sites moved from Ezoic over to Mediavine. Mediavine wins hands down! So, Mediavine wins for me on the RMP Take a look at some of MY screenshots below. Like, I say, this is my personal journey with both Ezoic and Mediavine but there’s probably many of you reading this now shouting… Ezoic is the best! If that’s the case for you, then great! You must have played around and tested Ezoic to the max to get the results you’re seeing. And that’s great! But for me I either didn’t spend enough time playing around with placements or testing enough ads. But I simply don’t have the time to do that. That’s why I love Mediavine and rank it above Ezoic on a side-by-side comparison because Mediavine does all the hard work for you and have found the perfect combination of ads and placements to see the best return from day one. Click here to learn all about Mediavine or even apply to join their community if you have 25,000 page views or more a month. Does Mediavine Pay Top Dollar from Day One? Almost, you have to allow 7-10 days for Mediavine to find the right buyer for your ads. In the first few days, they will place generic ads on your site and you’ll see a small RPM (Revenue Per Thousand Visitors) until they find the right match for your niche and audience. Typically, it’s about 10 days before you suddenly see your RPM skyrocket, then you know they have found a great match for your site. Then sit back and watch the ad revenue build up each day. How Much was I Making with Each? It would be very difficult to give an exact comparison but I can give you some averages for each site, which are very accurate as they are the same sites with the same content simply moved from one to another. Below is a screenshot from one of my pet niche websites which was with Ezoic through the months of Oct-Feb – which was then moved to Mediavine mid-way through Feb 2020. As you can see from the screenshot above the average RPM was around $9-$11. Even for the month of December, which is the best month for RPM, this was still only $13. Now compare that same site with the first month with Mediavine. The same content and the same traffic. Okay, traffic has gone up slightly but that amount of traffic will not drastically affect RMP. So, it’s a fair comparison. This site was transferred on the 17th March and has only been running Mediavine ads for the past 35 days. So, let’s take the first 30 days on Mediavine. Take a look at the image below… First 30 Days with Mediavine As you can see the RMP with Mediavine is averaging around $15 and that’s the first 30 days which are the worst as the ads are not yet running or been sold at the best rates yet. Even so, you can see that some days it hit $17 which is almost double some of the days I was seeing with Ezoic. Since then, the RMP has increased and I have seen it balancing out at around $17. Then you need to take into consideration video ads, which I’ll talk about next. Add this into the RMP and I’m now seeing a whopping $21 per thousand visitors. In simple terms I’m receiving in cash terms, more than double each month going into my bank account. Do You Get Paid Straight Away? Both companies will run ads on your site for a number of months before you get paid. Ezoic is better in this respect as you get paid after two months but with Mediavine, you have to wait for three months before you receive the first deposit into your account. Which to be honest is a total pain, but, hey ho. I know the money is coming to me and I’ll just have to wait. Video Ads and Overlays Mediavine is leading the way with video ads at the moment and I can see it being a massive focus in the years to come. Ezoic is definitely being left behind at present with this as they don’t currently offer video ads through their service. However, when you read this article, they may have started to run video ads. This is an image of a video ad on one of my niche websites What are video ads? Basically, you place a video from YouTube, or one made specifically for each post or website, which they then can sell advertising space at the beginning of your ad. Very similar to native ad space, they sell your video ad space to the highest bidder. Video ads are now and will continue to fetch a handsome price for ads placed on or within your video. I was confused at first what needed to be done, but in the end, it was really easy and I can’t believe how much you get paid for a simple 30-40 second ad. As with any video, it pays to make the best video possible because in the same way that ads pay within your content, video ads pay more if the viewer plays and watches the video throughout. The longer they watch the video the more you earn. So, it’s in your interest to make a specific video for each blog post that is relevant to the topic and article. This will ensure your visitors click the video and watch it for longer. You can see the overlay highlighted here. No sound and they only pop up for 10 seconds approx. Sounds like too much work? I agree, if you don’t have a YouTube channel or lack the ability to make lots and lots of videos – then you can cheat! Well, I say cheat, it’s actually recommended by Mediavine to start earning something from video ads even if it’s not as much as you could make with specifically targeted videos. As you can see this, is a simple generic animated video ad that I placed on the home page of my website. Mediavine then placed this video where I don’t have any others throughout the website. So, if I have made a specific video for a certain post then this generic video WILL NOT be played on that page. This ensures you earn as much as possible from the specific video that you have put a lot of time, effort and money into. But, on all the other pages where I have no video, they place my animated welcome video. This means I can earn a video ad revenue from every single page on my site. How cool is that! Interesting Data Spotted! Take a look at the video I recorded above to see some interesting information and data about Google crawling your site. There seems to be an issue with how easy it is for Google to crawl a website when running Ezoic Ads compared to Mediavine. In simple terms (you can see I’m a simple man), it looks from my untrained eye that it’s much easier for Google to come to your site, find your content and rank it. It seems to spend more time on your site when running Mediavine compared to when I had Ezoic. Just watch the video and you can make your own mind up about this. Learn what this chart means by watching my video above Conclusion: Which is best Ezoic or Mediavine? Here you go, plain and simple (there’s that word again) it’s…. Drumroll Mediavine for me! I have said it before and I will say it again, this is my opinion and I have good data to back up my claim and I have experienced both companies and found that Mediavine wins on several factors: Higher RPMGreat community on FBAwesome customer serviceVideo adsOverlaysEasier to set upBetter user experienceCleaner site If you’ve found a better experience with Ezoic or any other company, we’d like to hear from you. Leave a comment on our video on YouTube. Now you would think with an affiliate program for Ezoic, which is here AFFILIATE LINK TO EZOIC by the way, if you want to check them out, I would be pushing Ezoic to you! But I will always be open and honest and give you my opinion as I see it. The power of the internet and owning my own website like this one gives me the freedom to say it as I see it. And at the moment I see Mediavine as the clear winner for me. Good luck with your sites and I hope whichever you go with whether it’s Ezoic or Mediavine, it’s the best choice for you!
Content Tracker Spreadsheet | Why You Should Use One!
Having your own copy of the articles you have written for your website is one good strategy to keep track of everything. Sometimes, it’s hard to remember every topic that you uploaded, especially if the website template you are using doesn’t allow you to backtrack the blogs you wrote years ago. That’s why I use a content tracker spreadsheet. This is where the importance of owning a good content template comes in. It’s very easy to forget what articles you actually have uploaded and made public; let alone all the content you have saved in drafts. A good content template spreadsheet is something that you need if you want to be a successful blogger in this industry where competition is very stiff. Having a good spreadsheet is also good for keeping a track of your finances and ongoing outsourced jobs plus many other factors. The biggest reason I keep a good content spreadsheet and use it religiously is for when I ever come to sell a site. Last year, I sold two sites and the first thing the new buyers asked me was: ‘How much content do you have, and how many words. What topics have you covered and how can I see them all?’ Wow, I had not thought of that and had to quickly go through my entire content on both sites and add them to a spreadsheet manually. It was very time consuming but without this, the new buyers were going to drop out of the sale. Lesson Learnt! I now make a spreadsheet for every niche website I have from day one and fill it in every day. Without fail! I live and die by my content trackers. Why Having a Content Template is Important 1) A content template helps you track your blogs Basically, a content template can help you keep track of your published content. Tracking the content you publish is important so that you can avoid plagiarism, especially when you are planning to sell your website. Once your site is put under a new owner, the content and blogs are not considered as your own anymore. It’s vital that you have a list of what you wrote before in order to avoid complications especially when you are looking for something new for your new website. 2) It helps you become an organized blogger Being an organized blogger is the best thing ever. Not everyone succeeds in becoming a blogger who stands out. One way you can survive the stiff competition is by being aware of the articles you wrote, so you can claim your ownership of them. If you have a content tracker spreadsheet saved on your computer, you can easily search for the topics you want to check and compare them to other content or website that you think is copying your ideas. being an organized blogger will help you discover the websites that are trying to steal your content! 3) It serves as your guide whenever you want to update your content How will you be able to update your content if you are lost on track? One good thing about having your own content tracker is that it serves as your guide to do updates. With this tool, you can easily search for the articles you want to update. The rows and columns provide you with enough information so you can easily find the content in your blog. You don’t have to scroll down or browse your website for the whole day just to find the article you are looking for. It’s pretty easy to find the date of publishing if you have a content tracker spreadsheet to hand. 4) You can get good topic ideas if you have a list of what you wrote already If you are someone who does content writing seriously, a content tracker spreadsheet is your best friend. If you list down all your topics and articles in the spreadsheet, you will have a good overview of what’s published already. You can then start brainstorming new topics that are not yet in the template. This means that with the help of this excel sheet, you can think of good topics to write without thinking too much about it. 5) It’s for record-keeping Finally, having a content template is like running a business. You need it for record-keeping. Your articles serve as your inventory and you need to somehow maintain a list in order to check if you are writing the right number of articles for the month. You will be needing this tool when you are selling content or websites. It’s best if you can keep something for yourself every time you serve your clients. In this way, you can promote the originality of your blogs regardless of the date and time you wrote them. You can also keep track of wordcount and cost per article and an overall view of the money you have spent on the content. Again, great information to work out the ROI on each article and the website in general. An example of one of my content tracker spreadsheets Where can I get a good content template? It’s very easy to get a good content template for your blogs. You can simply use Excel Spreadsheets and make your own with all the tabs and columns you need. However, if you’re not very familiar or good with things like that, I’m happy to share the spreadsheet I use for FREE. No, Email subscriptions or Fees! I have developed a simple and easy to use spreadsheet of my own and I want to share it with you. You can click the link below to download so you don’t have to worry about how you can organize your content and articles. You don’t have to start from scratch. You can use my format if you want to save yourself from the hassle of creating your own content template. Get my FREE Template Here! What Other Benefits can I get from Using a Spreadsheet? On top of having a tool that can help you organize your content; your spreadsheet could also be customizable depending on your taste and preference. You can add colors, adjust the size of the rows and columns, and put borders within each sheet. If you have spare time to go through the details, you can also attach pictures that can motivate your soul as a blogger. Becoming successful in this industry also relies on how you inspire yourself as a blogger. The FREE content tracker I have provided a link to download is very basic but perfect for anyone with a small to medium niche website. Anywhere from 1-1000 article can easily be tracked and recorded on this spreadsheet. If you would like to create something more customizable, I suggest learning how to use Google Sheets or paying someone to do this for you. I found a great Youtube video Tutorial on how to create your own Content spreadsheet which I have added below. https://youtu.be/FIkZ1sPmKNw These content templates should be versatile and can grow as your business grows. You can also use them for your own finances. I know that QuickBooks and TurboTax are popular software for bloggers who want to keep track of their earnings. But, if you don’t want to use them, you can settle to a conventional way to keep a record of your earnings. You can use the same content template. Just create another sheet tab and use a format you are familiar with. Organize the sheet and use formulas and graphs to make it more appealing and easier to use. Also, your own content template can be used as a calendar. It’s easier to make your own calendar in a spreadsheet because of the grids and borders in it. Plus, if you are using the same template for your content, websites, and blogs, it will be easier for you to access your schedule related to your tasks. With this type of content template, you can be more organized by using a calendar placed in the same content tracker you have. Conclusion: Why Do You Need a Content Tracker Spreadsheet? The benefits of having your own content template are endless. You just have to be resourceful to discover the best things that it can do for your life as a blogger. My intention was to never sell a website but when the offer comes, you’ll be glad you have all your content organized and in one place. It can increase the value of your website and attract more buyers.
ConveyThis Review | Instant Website Translation Plugin
Have you ever thought of using more than one language on your WordPress website to market your products and services to a wider audience? English is the universal language and almost all people around the world can read and understand any article written in it. However, your website will be taken to the next level if it can translate to more than just the English language. Don’t be that website that settles for just serving one country and one specific language speaking audience, be someone who stands out. The language barrier is possible to eliminate with the use of ConveyThis, a plugin that works on translating your website and its content, to more than one language at the click of a button. No special CSS coding or redirecting. Here is a comprehensive review including a video of me installing this plugin directly on one of my Niche Websites live. https://youtu.be/5mDa1c0aPls What is ConveyThis? The developers market itself as a one-stop-shop for those who are looking for centralized, smart, and end-to-end website translation management. Basically, it is a plugin that can be used for website translation. It can be integrated into hundreds of platforms including WordPress, BigCommerce, Shopify, and Weebly.

The language translating plugin will have your website global-ready within minutes. No expensive CSS coding or redirecting to another domain. I have tested many and I mean many plugins on my niche websites and this was by far the easiest plugin to install which has the biggest impact instantly. Features of ConveyThis This plugin has a lot going for it and I probably won’t do it justice in this short blog and video. However, I’m going to point out some of the main features that really impressed me. Free version translates 1 language One of the greatest features of ConveyThis is its ability to be installed for free! Yes, we all love FREE, especially me! But, like all things within the affiliate marketing and WordPress world, if it’s free, it will have its limitations and ConveyThis is no different. However, If you want to simply translate your website from one language to another then you’re good to go with the Free version of this plugin. Translating your website doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated, especially if you want to try the service out first without committing yourself financially. Installing the free version of ConveyThis will give you unlimited access to the plugin, including a 1-language translation. If you don’t want many languages for your website, the free version is a good start. One way plugins attract users is by offering a free version of their applications. Some plugins that you will find on the internet in terms of website translation have free versions too but they are commonly limited to 7 or 14 days and you’ll need to add your card details before they will even give you access to any of their features. This plugin is different; it is very open and transparent in what you get for FREE and in the paid versions. Unlike other plugins within this field, the free version of ConveyThis has no expiry date. However, you can expect that the services you will access are limited. Not all features are accessible, which is understandable because one way or another, you will be enticed to pay for other great benefits of the plugin. After all, the investment in producing and launching a piece of software like this can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars and like any business, they need to recoup their investment and start earning a profit. If you are operating your website or your online store on a budget, the free version of this plugin will allow you to use its features limitedly. This is still ideal for you rather than using nothing for website translation. Your audience can at least translate your page into one other language. Check out ConveyThis here! 90 Different Languages To Choose From. While other website owners enjoy the free version of this language translation plugin, there are individuals and companies that opt for the paid version.

The paid versions are divided into 4 categories: Business, Pro, Pro Plus, and Enterprise. For monthly, the Business membership is priced at $19.99 per month.

The Pro Plan is priced at $49 per month with additional services such as 400,000 translated words, 400,000 monthly page views, unlimited multisite, unlimited team members, and domain backup.

Annually, you will pay $219.89 for Business, $539 for Pro, $2,189 for Pro Plus, and $4,389 for the Enterprise. A one-month fee is a big saving already for stable businesses.

For those who are looking to earn through Ezoic aside from using it as an ad platform, the first thing you should know about it is how its referral program works. There are a number of Ad platforms you can choose but only Ezoic currently offers an affiliate program. The ad platform claims that the Ezoic affiliate marketing program is dedicated to people who are likely to introduce the Ezoic platform to other people who own websites and digital publishers. For any affiliate marketer, the crown jewels are Recurring Affiliate commissions. Nothing is better than seeing money go into your account each month and with the Ezoic affiliate program, this amount will increase as your clients’ websites or business grows. In short… If they grow their own business you earn more! Win, Win in my eyes. The introduction phase is the first step to get those people to sign-up for an account with Ezoic. The members will then get monthly commissions for every successful referral made. The earnings will come from the income of the website owners or publishers who signed up through their recommendation links. According to Ezoic, all you have to do is to introduce a new customer to their platform and get them signed up and accepted by Ezoic. After that, the next step would be sitting back and relaxing while you wait for your passive income to accumulate. There are pretty simple ways to make an introduction as well. Ezoic lets you use tracking tags that you can send to publishers or you can directly introduce them to the website. If you know a number of people looking for this kind of ad platform, the Ezoic referral program is ideal for you. How Does Ezoic Affiliate Marketing Program Work? The process is simple. It’s like you are recruiting publishers and website owners on behalf of Ezoic. The affiliate marketing program or the referral program mentioned above works through a referral link and direct introduction. As an affiliate partner, you will receive a unique tracking ID so you can easily monitor those who signed up using your link. From that point, you can easily track the number of your referrals and how much your earnings are. Pretty easy, isn’t it? How Much Can You Earn From The Ezoic Affiliate Marketing Program? You can easily earn a 3% commission from using the Ezoic Affiliate Program. The 3% will come from the Ezoic earnings of publishers or website owners you have invited. What’s great about the earning system in Ezoic is that you will earn lifetime commissions if the people you referred continue to use the ad platform. Your income will be credited within 30 days of their first payout once they started using Ezoic and once their sites start making ad revenue. Remember: As their websites grow and start to earn more money, your commission will grow! How Do Ezoic Earnings Accumulate? As mentioned earlier, the 3% commission you will get as your earnings will be taken from Ezoic Earnings. The Ezoic earnings are not directly taken from your referred publisher alone. This is like a pooled income collected from Ezoic ad partners for a particular site. So, if you have multiple publishers using the same site, you will likely earn more. The revenue of your publishers will be put in the account of Ezoic, which is called the Ezoic earnings. You will get your commission from there every month. The ad platform claims that publishers can’t split their traffic between the layout of their original ads and Ezoic. The income they will get from their original layouts will not be included in Ezoic Earnings. Only the revenue they earn through the Ezoic platform will be counted and collected. If you keep on referring publishers, note that your 3% will come from Ezoic, not from the account of your new referrals. Basically you will only earn money from the ads shown on their website that Ezoic place on the site. You will not receive any commissions from other forms of private ads running on their site. Track clicks and signups on their easy to read dashboard Pros and Cons of Ezoic Affiliate Marketing Program The Ezoic affiliate program has pros and cons, just like many ad platforms scattered on the internet. For you to evaluate carefully if this is worth it to try, I have summarized all the information you should know about its benefits and advantages. PRO: 3% commission of the total revenue from publishers This is the first and major benefit you can get from the Ezoic Affiliate Program, as what the ad platform suggests. If you refer people to use the platform, you can easily earn a good 3% commission of the total revenue of the publishers which will be collected and put into Ezoic Earnings. Ezoic will then pay you every month to credit you for your effort. This is a good thing since you don’t have to wait for verifications anymore. The commission will be credited to you immediately once a sale is made through the platform and you can withdraw it in the following month. PRO: Recurring Monthly Commissions Nothing beats regular commissions going straight into your Paypal or Bank account. It is in the interest of the website owner to push their business forward as they have invested lots of time and money into their site. Therefore you earn more money each month as their hard work pays off for you and themselves. There is no cap on the earnings you can make from reffering people to sign up to Ezoic! According to Ezoic, there is an unlimited conversion rate and there is no maximum when it comes to commission. You can recruit as many publishers and website owners as you want so you can earn more. Imagine having several websites signed up through your Ezoic affiliate program and they all start making $1000’s each month through Ezoic ads showing on their website. You’ll get 3% from each one. Nice! Earn 3% from other people’s websites running ads here! PRO: Easy Withdrawal Process The platform lets you withdraw your earnings once you have accumulated $20 or more and made at least one conversion. Conversion is when your referred publisher starts making money through the Ezoic platform. You can also opt to be paid through PayPal, Check, or ACH. The payment policy used by the Ezoic Affiliate Program includes the withdrawal of your previous month’s earnings to be made at the end of the current month. So, if you want to withdraw your payout for November, you do so in December. It’s an easy withdrawal process and I haven’t seen any feedback saying that Ezoic has failed to pay its users. I have always received my affiliate commissions without issues every month. PRO: Good for new website owners Ezoic is one of the only ad platforms (Apart from Google Adsense) that doesn’t require huge traffic from website owners and publishers. If the website has a recorded visit of 5,000 guests every month, it can use the ad platform to earn revenue. This is unlike any other ad platform such as Mediavine that requires more than 25,000 visitors every month and Adthrive which requires 100,000 pageviews a month to be accepted. This is the best platform to recommend to website owners who don’t have a lot of experience online yet. PRO: Dashboard and Tracking Ezoic has one of the best tracking systems I have used. I have used Google, Ezoic, and Mediavine and I have to say Ezoic is by far the best. Their updated dashboard in 2020 is one of the easiest to read and track the progress of payments and referrals. You can see payments made and due at the click of a button and see the progress of the customers you have referred by their traffic numbers paid. This is how your dashboard will look when you first sign up! CON: Not ideal for long-term revenue Now the thing is, Ezoic is not for people who are looking for a long-term ad platform as their earnings per 1000 views are not the highest out there. The figures are pretty good if you compare it with Google Adsense but compared to MediaVine or Adthrive it can be much lower. Now, don’t get me wrong… If you allow their system to optimize your ad settings and play around with different ad sets, then you can earn just as much from Ezoic as you can from any other platform. Mediavine is the next step on the ad revenue platform once a website hits 25k visitors a month However, right out of the box, Ezoic will not pay as much as some other premium ad partners. People who sign up to Ezoic and start earning you some affiliate commissions, often leave Ezoic after a short period of time. Instantly losing you your recurring monthly commissions. This is because as soon as their website accumulates 25,000 visitors or more in a month, they are likely to transfer to other affiliate programs such as Mediavine and Adthrive. This means that you will likely lose your affiliates once they stop using Ezoic. Check out Ezoics affiliate Program Today Final Thoughts: Ezoic Affiliate Program Ezoic is good for someone who has a network of new website owners, since you can have them sign up easily if they have at least 5,000 visitors. As a final thought, Ezoic is great for business websites and affiliate marketers to recommend but you shouldn’t expect that your revenue will last forever. Most people will move to another ad company when they hit 25,000 visitors a month. Your 3% commission will likely reduce if your referrals leave the Ezoic ad platform. If you’re lucky enough to sign up a large website and they start to earn some serious cash then you’re onto a winner! Well done. Sit back and watch that recurring commission come in from someone else’s hard work.

The price of content varies depending on how many words you need to be written and what level of writer that you want to complete your article. Yes, there are different levels and the higher you go, the better the quality should be due to the skill level of the writer. The four possible tiers are standard, premium, elite and elite plus. The rate for each of these levels for the most popular number of words is as follows. Standard Writers 500 words will cost you $3.30 1000 words will cost you $8.25 1500 words will cost you $12.50 2000 words will cost you $15.50 Premium Writers 500 words will cost you $6.00 1000 words will cost you $11.50 1500 words will cost you $21.00 2000 words will cost you $33.00 Elite Writers 500 words will cost you $11.00 1000 words will cost you $20.25 1500 words will cost you $31.75 2000 words will cost you $44.00 Elite plus Writers ( Top Level ) 500 words will cost you $39.00 1000 words will cost you $72.00 1500 words will cost you $108.50 2000 words will cost you $145.00 It is possible to order less than 500 words and more than 2000 words also, you can even order a complete eBook on Iwriter although this will obviously take a little longer to get back. These rates are set for the word count but you can tip writers if you really like their work. Tipping is not mandatory whatsoever, however! How long does content take to be written? When you request an article on Iwriter, this will usually be claimed very quickly by one of the loyal writers on the website. Typically within 4-6 hours. This will then be returned to you within just a few hours if you’re lucky, or perhaps a day or so if you need more words written. If so some reason, the writer claims your piece and does not finish the article, the time will eventually expire and it will be returned to the pool for another writer to reserve. In the majority of cases, your content will be completed within 24 hours and less, but there are exceptions to the rule. To increase the likelihood that your content will be claimed and worked on quickly, ensure that you are very specific in your instructions about what you are looking for and include any necessary sources that the writer may need. Can you reject content if you are not happy? The great thing about Iwriter is that you can reject content if you are not happy with it. You do not pay a single cent until you are happy with what has been delivered. There are writers from all over the world on Iwriter and if you feel like a writer has not followed your instructions or the quality just isn’t there, you can hit that reject button. Can you ask for a refund or a rewrite? Once you have accepted an article, the money is taken from your iWriter wallet and you can no longer get a refund on that. So with this in mind, make sure that you are 100 percent happy with the content before you accept it. You can, however, send back an article for the writer to rewrite. Perhaps they missed some keywords you requested, they need to clean up the grammar or remove some discrepancies. It is always advised to send an article back for rewrite rather than just downright reject it, there are writers who rely on the platform to make a living. What is the quality of content like? The quality of content on Iwriter is generally very good but obviously, you have more of a chance of quality content, the higher tier writer you choose. Every writer on Iwriter starts off as standard and they move up through the tiers depending on the more high star reviews that they get. Requesting a standard writer might be a little bit more of a risk but remember, you can reject any content that you are not happy with. Sometimes you need to kiss a lot of frogs to find a princess! Some writers are obviously going to be more skilled than others on this type of content mill. When you have found some writers who really deliver to your standards, you can add them to your favorite writer’s list, which you can learn more about later. You may need to kiss a few frogs to find a princess. But, when you do simply add them to your favorite list and you’ll save time and money next time you order a piece of content. You can always take a look at the recommended writers list which will show you a star rating for all the different levels of writers. Can any niche be written about? Every niche that exists under the sun can be written about on Iwriter. You will need to categorize your request, this means that if you are looking for an article written about technology, for example, the writers skilled in technology can use the filter features to find you. If what you are looking for isn’t listing on the Iwriter categories, you can simply select other. Just as long as you provide details instructions in your request, there is going to be a writer who can and will deliver on your needs. How to build a list of favorite writers Building a list of favorite writers on the website means that you can send your requests out to a select few people, or even just one person. This is invaluable, especially if you have a specific writer in mind and don’t want your request put into the writer’s pool, where just about anybody can claim it. A good start to finding a quality writer is looking at the recommended list Making a special request will also give writers a little more cut of the cash – which is a great way to show your appreciation for their hard work. When you accept an article, you have the chance to add the writer in question to your list of favorites. Doing this is beneficial to both you and them. Making a template to make ordering quicker? Setting out a big list of instructions for any article that you need completing can seem like an endless task, particularly if you have many requests to make. The best thing to do in this instance is to make a template that you can use over and over again. You can make an order template on a word processing program and every time you need work completing, you can simply copy and paste this into Iwriter for your own convenience. Your template could be called ‘ Reviews’ Then everytime you want a review doing you simply click ‘ Review Template’ and change the item title. All the information on the style and type of review you want will be pre-set in your template. This will save you time ordering similar content each time.

Income School Project 24 Course Review | Jim and Ricky course!
Website building and affiliate marketing can be very viable and appealing sources of income. I’m sure you’ve read blog post after blog post of online content creators, convincing you to take their course on how to become an expert at monetizing your content. They make it sound like they have the answers to all of your problems. Soon you’ll be making thousands of dollars and quitting your day job before you know it, all thanks to their colorful PDF documents. But did these people just have a random stroke of luck? Have they actually tried their method more than once? Why would you model a potential business after someone who hasn’t done further research? I’m here to introduce you to a company and a program that I HAVE tested. Income school project 24. I have personally met the owners (Jim and Ricky) and had the great privilege of learning directly from them in my own home, where I received two full days of 1 to 1 personal coaching from them. A privilege not many get from these world-leading niche website affiliate marketers. In this article, I’ll share with you my personal experience meeting them. We’ll also talk about the passive income I’ve made through using their tried and true methods, as well as how you can get started in building a profitable niche/authority website. Let’s get started! Are you considering placing ads on your site and making money from your traffic? If yes, Then checkout Ezoic! An amazing advertising platform for niche websites. Click here! Personal Relationship With Income School Before we discuss Project 24, I thought I’d share with you how I met the guys from income school and why I endorse them as much as I do. A little over a year ago, Income School had a contest on their YouTube channel. They would travel to whoever won and help them create and optimize their niche site for monetization. It was fairly simple to enter, all you had to do was comment on one of their videos. So I did it. I commented and low and behold, I won! https://youtu.be/TwTHIl1EhTg Ricky and Jim packed their bags and flew all the way from the US to the UK to meet with me. We sat down over the course of two days and discussed my already existing site. Together we took a look at my niche, what content I had already created and how it was performing. After analyzing my current work, it was clear that with some tweaks, my site had the potential to increase exponentially in traffic which would then increase in monetization. I saw fairly immediate results and even just a year later, I’m earning much more online than I was prior to meeting Ricky and Jim. Overall, I’d say it was a very eye-opening experience and one I won’t soon forget. Just one of my sites alone has seen traffic increase by over 200% and is now very close to earning me a full-time income. Just from that one site! Why am I telling you this? Because I know how genuine these guys are. I know first hand that Project 24 works. Perhaps most importantly, I’m the only reviewer who has had this personal experience. While I could sit back and keep all of this information to myself, I have chosen to share it with all of you. It was a stroke of luck that I won that contest and now I want to help point all of you in the right direction to creating a profitable niche site of your own. That’s what a creative community is all about. My experience with Income School and Project 24, was lifechanging and it could be the same for you! Ricky and Jim arriving at my home What Is Income school project 24? Jim and Ricky founded Income School in 2013. To be clear, they purchased the domain in 2013 but they didn’t see success until a few years later. Ricky and Jim have been friends since high school and have a long-standing friendship and business partnership. The two had built several niche websites up to success and thought they should create a platform sharing their method. They started off with a podcast that didn’t take off quite as they’d hoped, but persistence is key. Their successful websites, some of which are listed below have been used to showcase their system and methods. Some of which they sold for large sums of money and some they continue to grow and use as case studies. ImprovePhotography – Sold 2019 for an undisclosed sum. Reported to be a 7 Figure sum! Knifeup.com – Sold in the region of $250,000+ CamperReport.com – Earns $8,000+ per month Emborapets – Gets over 100,000 page views a month after only 12 Months Instead of giving up and selling their domain, they decided to exhaust all of their options. That’s where Youtube comes into the picture. They hadn’t yet tried marketing their program via Youtube. It started off a bit haphazard just posting here and there but pretty soon after, they had amassed a fairly large audience, hungry for SEO and marketing tips. Before they knew it, Income School was a 7 figure per year business. As previously stated, persistence is key! Back to Income School and Project 24. This is a resource designed to give you a step by step guide for creating a niche and authority site. What is an authority site? When you google a topic, you’ll be given a little snippet or blurb at the top of your search page. That brief summary of your search comes from an authority site. Wouldn’t you like to have your content ranked so high that it is considered an authority site by Google? Jim and Ricky promise to teach you how to make money online so that you can support your family. If you want to earn a passive income via blogging or niche sites, I couldn’t recommend Income School and Project 24 more highly. Essentially, this program will take you step-by-step through the process of creating either a niche or an authority website. After completing the course, in 24 months, you’ll have a full-time online business. That’s actually how income school project 24 got its name. the goal of Project 24 is for you to be able to replace your current income with passive income within 24 months. A lot of other programs will tell you it’s possible within
the first month. While it is possible to see some revenue in the first month,
it’s much more realistic to look at a program with longevity and realistic
timelines. Remember, overnight success is ten years in the making! There are no
shortcuts and it will be entirely worth it in the long run. Me and Ricky having a chat about everything affiliate! My Stats & Results from income school project 24 I still can’t to this day believe that in the month of March 2019 I got a knock on the door. On opening it I was greeted by a very tired looking Jim and Ricky after they’d traveled from the USA to my home town in the UK to share their knowledge and work on one of my niche websites. I’m sure you’ve just watched the video about it, so I won’t go into too much detail. But I can tell you several months later the site www.fishkeepingforever.com has gone from strength to strength. I haven’t seen a huge spike in traffic nor any overnight success stories, but I have seen a strong growth which is around 1500 organic page views a month consistently since their visit. I only had one month where I saw a small decline and this was due to me changing hosting, server and SEO plugin. But after a couple of weeks, the traffic growth was back and continues to grow. Revenue has been a carefully planned strategy, again thanks to their advice. Our plan was to target traffic before monetizing and chasing ‘Buyer intent Keywords’. Like the famous quote says ‘Build it and they will come’ Well, it’s the same for commissions and earnings. Once the traffic started to rise above 5000 page views a month I added Ezoic Ads. We had a few issues with setting this up and using their DNS servers (which I don’t recommend), but once it was set up correctly, I started to see some nice earnings from ads. If your site is new, I would say just start with Google Ads, then as your traffic grows, switch to Ezoic. You’ll need 5000 page views a month. Once you hit that number contact them. Here’s my Ezoic affiliate link, I would be grateful if you use it. Thanks. The next stage of our monetizing strategy was to increase traffic before adding ‘Buyer Intent Keywords’ Or ‘Money Keywords’ as some people like to call them. These are keywords like, Best, Top, Review, Sale, Cheapest… and so on. These are harder to rank for keywords but will bring you more sales and affiliate clicks which equals more in commissions. This screenshot is only organic traffic. We also have around 7000 views a month from social. Total 20,000+ monthly Once we had hit 15,000 page views a month we started to add these types of articles. We instantly saw our revenue increase significantly. All as planned! As your domain age and authority grows and your traffic increases you can start to focus on revenue as we are doing now. Going after those ‘Buyer intent keywords’. As you can see from the screenshot above, traffic still increases week on week and so too does our revenue. So, what’s the plan going forward… Continue with the hit list of articles Income school and Project 24 came up with and increase traffic and add more buyer intent articles and keywords. If you follow the Project 24 Modules step-by-step, there is no reason why you can’t do the same. You’ll also save yourself a lot of time and money. How Project 24 Works income school project 24 is broken up into 12 modules to make the information easy to digest. Master one before moving onto the next. Modules include things like a 60 step guide, search analysis, email marketing, hiring writers, and much more. I’ll briefly breakdown each module below. It’s also important to note that Jim and Ricky update their content constantly to make sure everything is up to date. They also have an hour-long seminar video, along with a wealth of knowledge on their YouTube channel. Let’s breakdown each of the modules to give you a better idea of the course. Income school project 24 Module 1 The first module in Project 24 breaks down 60 steps to creating a successful website. This is the groundwork for everything else you’ll be doing and arguably the most important step. Essentially it’ll breakdown what makes a website successful in things like selecting a good niche, keyword research, generating revenue through your website, and even setting up a WordPress site. WordPress can be a bit tricky but they break it down in a very user-friendly fashion, so no need to be intimidated. This course alone is worth its weight in gold. Ricky and Jim went through the process with me in person to see where I could fix my site and it truly made a world of a difference. Income school project 24 Module 2 Module 2 focuses on search analysis. Can an audience find your content if they search for it? This step breaks down your niche and helps you find the best keywords and topics to focus on to make sure your content is unique. It also ensures that you won’t run out of topics to write about in the future. This part of the course was especially helpful to me. I had content on my site already but I was just writing the same guides over and over. Once Ricky and Jim helped me come up with new subject matter to expand upon in my niche, I saw a definite increase in traffic. Income school project 24 Module 3 Module 3 focuses on choosing a profitable niche. Rick and Jim know a thing or two about selecting a profitable niche. They’ve created a list of over 350 niches for you to sift through. It’s important to take a good look at what you want your niche to be. Will it actually have the potential to be monetized? Is it too specific? It would really be a shame to invest heavily in a niche website only to find out that your niche is not profitable. Taking the time to really investigate if a specific niche is worth your time will be worth it in the long run. This module has a 50-minute video explaining how to select a solid niche. Project 24 modules are easy to follow and there’s lots of other helpful information within the course Module 4 SEO or search engine optimization. This essentially makes sure your content is visible in search results. Many people find SEO intimidating. Although it is a lot of information, it’s really not that difficult. In this module, the video breaks down methods to increase your organic search engine results and ideas to increase traffic to your site. Many SEO optimization courses teach what are called ‘black-hat’ tricks. These are against the rules and you can be penalized by Google. Ricky and Jim are not interested in taking shortcuts, so you don’t have to worry about any of their tactics being against the rules. They focus only on white-hat tricks. Their course also focuses on creating a site that will work with any Google algorithm changes. Instagram changes their algorithm all the time and you’ll hear people complaining about a decrease in traffic. You’ll avoid a decrease in traffic on your site should Google change their algorithm. This ensures you have a steady stream of income. Module 5 This module focuses on web traffic. You can have the best content centered on your niche, but if you don’t have an audience, then what’s the point? Throughout this module, Ricky and Jim break down the best way to drive traffic to your site through social media. Not only do they breakdown which social media platforms are actually worth your time, but they’ll discuss which ones are most time-efficient. Time is money. Time efficiency is key. This course teaches you how to focus on social media strategies that take up the least amount of your valuable time so you can spend your time doing more important things. It’ll also ensure you have the best chance possible to receive a return on your investment. Module 6 Email marketing. This module will discuss whether your site may or may not need to have an email marketing plan. For some niche sites and blogs, a subscriber list is of the utmost importance. If your website is more of an authority site, then this might not serve you very much. This course is valuable because it breaks down how to use email marketing in a way that will encourage audience engagement. Increasing genuine audience engagement can turn your audience into potential buyers. It’ll also help you decide if email marketing will be beneficial for your site or not. Module 7 This module breaks down common myths surrounding website building. A lot of people will tell you to focus on something called the keyword golden ratio or KGR for short. Some people find this to be a very valuable tool, others would tell you not to waste your time. Jim and Ricky explain it in depth. They’ll also discuss the pros and cons to ensure you can make an educated decision when it comes to deciding if you want to utilize KGR in your site. Module 8 Quality content is of the utmost importance if you want to have a successful niche or authority site. Quality content also takes time to write. This all goes back to ‘time is money’. Ricky and Jim discuss the importance of hiring quality writers who can step in when you don’t have the time to write your own content. This module will break down how to find the right writers as well as how to communicate with your writers about exactly the type of content you’re seeking. It also breaks down teaching your writers how to post their content on your WordPress site. Module 9 Professional photography is an area that’s often overlooked when training people on how to build a quality niche or authority site. Audiences are very visual, which makes photography a very important element of your site. This module teaches you how to take quality photographs that your audience will enjoy. It includes 22 lessons on topics ranging from selecting the correct aperture to finding the best lighting landscapes. Module 10 This module dives into website reviews. Ricky and Jim take the time to review sites that have been developed by Project 24 students. You can learn an awful lot by seeing critiques of other people’s work. Module 11 As previously stated, quality content is key. Module 11 introduces a post structure for your content that will ultimately increase your speed as a writer. It’ll also delve into selecting the right topic to write about. Module 12 Last but certainly not least, this module focuses on advertisement monetization. Many people are drawn to creating websites with the goal of monetization. It takes a while to build a quality website that ultimately will be successful with monetization. Readers are smart. They’ll be able to tell if you’re writing to create quality and engaging content or if you’re writing just to make a buck. This course breaks down how to use advertisements for immediate monetization so you can focus on creating quality content. What’s The Cost Of income school project 24? The cost for membership to income school project 24 is currently listed at $449 for the first year, then $199 per year after that. since the course is always being updated and add-ons are ongoing. Compared to some other courses, which I have reviewed in detail but not tried (so I can’t comment), it does seem very good value. Some other courses are listed at $899, $1500 and the highest we found was $2400. So as a price comparison we believe $449 is well placed in the market place. But it would take you a lifetime to learn! For $449 you get everything you need in a simple step-by-step guide with realistic time scales to speed up the success of your niche website. This course, in my opinion, will save you years of testing and guessing. I know that after my 1 to 1 coaching with them and their course, I’m about 12 months ahead of where I would have been if I had done it all alone. The time and money this course will save you is invaluable! They will not only teach you how to make money but also do it within 24 months. Buy Project 24 here!

Yes, the content within the course also offers information perfect for intermediates who would like to expand on their success.

Additional income school project 24 Features Now that we’ve broken down the course and given you a quick review, let’s move onto some of the other features of Project 24. In this section we’ll cover: The Forum – DiscordYoutubeConstantly Updated ContentThe Acabado Theme The Forum – Discord Personally, I’m a big fan of the Project 24 Forum. It’s worth its weight in gold. Not only do you receive fantastic training through the modules, but you also gain a wonderfully supportive community. Let’s say you have a question about something you’re writing. Does it make sense? How does the layout look? Is the content thought-provoking and captivating? Hop onto Discord and consult your community in the forum. People are more than happy to provide feedback and suggestions. Remember that a community requires give and take. If you want valuable feedback, then be prepared to give feedback to others as well. You’ll learn a lot from providing constructive critiques to your community. Not only are Project 24 members always active on the forum, but Ricky and Jim are constantly online as well. They love answering questions and strive to provide you with encouragement along the way. YouTube YouTube is predicted to be the future of search queries on Google. Video format will grow and take over in the next few years. Jim and Ricky were very transparent in the fact that Income School didn’t take off until they utilized YouTube. Because they’re firm believers in the platform, Ricky and Jim include many YoutTube strategies in the income school project 24 course. They answer all of your questions from SEO guides to what makes content informative and engaging. You’ll receive tips and tricks for your video content and gain access to exclusive Project 24 videos. They love sharing what works for them and how you can implement their methods. Their YouTube channel offers a wealth of information for free to non-members. As a member, you’ll gain access to even more exclusive content. income school project 24 gives access to all of their personal apps before releasing them to the public. They have a plugin in the works currently for internal linking within your content. Internal linking is incredibly important when it comes to audience retention. The plugin will be made available to Project 24 members before anyone else, which is very exciting. Currently, we use LINKWHISPER to interlink all our articles. But I’m sure once Income School releases their plugin we’ll be trying it out! Acabado Theme Not everyone realizes just how important website response time is when it comes to website traffic. Google considers response time as one of the main factors in ranking your site on Search Engine Result Pages (SERP). Most WordPress themes and plugins are pretty bulky files. They might look appealing, but they aren’t always designed for function. This makes it difficult to optimize your site’s speed. Ricky and Jim acknowledged that this is a problem. They set out to create a solution. After a lot of researching and testing on their own websites, the Acabado theme was born and was first offered to Project 24 members. Selecting a theme is of the utmost importance for your website. It’s essentially the entire foundation for all of your content. Your readers will judge your content and brand largely on the overall attractiveness of your site. This effects how your site is perceived and will ultimately help or hinder your business. So when looking for a theme, consider the needs of your business. Are you more of an affiliate site? Are you an authority site? Do you need the capabilities to sell products? Acabado has the capability to support all of these things. Not only is Acabado multi-functional, but it’s also designed to give incredible website speed. With its customizable and attractive design, you’re sure to impress your audience. Ricky and Jim were smart to consider the mobile site design first since most traffic comes through mobile devices. We’ll go more into depth about that in just a bit. We’ll also take a look at their built-in SEO and easy setup process. Why is it called Acabado? It’s Portuguese for “finished.” We wanted to focus on the speed and clean design which makes it easy to do a site redesign in under 3 minutes with Acabado. The REAL reason, though, is that it’s just so fun to say. It’s pronounced “Ah-cah-bah-doe.” See how clean and fast the Acabado Theme is on www.outdoortroop.com Enhanced Speed Google scores your website speed from 1 to 100. It’s nearly unheard of to have a 100% score on their Page Speed test. On average, most WordPress sites have a score of 50% or less. The Acabado theme was tweaked until it regularly tested at 100%, which is just incredible. Note that your score will not be affected by the number of images you feature on your site. The theme promises quick response time on both desktops and mobile devices. SEO Adding plugins to your site oftentimes slows things down. With such high importance placed on SEO, many sites activate second party SEO plugins. These plugins analyze your content and offer a sort of checklist to ensure your content is optimized. While those are great tools to have, is it worth negatively impacting your Google speed test? With the Acabado theme, you can have SEO optimized content while also maintaining the integrity of your website speed. The theme has built-SEO capabilities to ensure your content is consistently optimized. Overall Appearance Many WordPress themes require hours of customization to enhance the appearance of your site before it can be launched to the public. Acabado was designed to save time keeping appearance in mind and requires no customization. However, if you’d like to make adjustments to the theme, you most certainly can. This theme is especially ideal for those with little coding or website design experience. Just set it up and go. Decreased Bounce Rate We’ve all been there, you’re reading an intriguing article on a site and suddenly your screen is covered by a popup asking you to subscribe. Or perhaps its an offer for some sort of class or informational guide. The interruption takes you right out of what you were initially reading. This is not the intention of the popup. The desired intention is to retain a reader’s attention and prevent bounce. What is bounce? Bounce is when a reader leaves your site. As a website owner, you want visitors to stay on your site for as long as possible. This is why creating internal links is so important. Give them more to read! Acabado works to prevent bounce by doing away with big annoying popups. Instead, Acabado utilizes minimal messages that won’t interrupt the reader’s experience. There’s nothing an audience hates more than feeling something is being pushed on them. Keeping messages minimal will encourage your audience to stick around and read more content. This can also lead to an increase in your income and who doesn’t want that! I would highly suggest taking a look at some of the reviews online. Buy Acabado Theme Here! Mobile Optimization Did you know that on average, more than half of your website traffic comes from mobile devices? This makes having an optimized mobile display absolutely necessary. Ricky and Jim took note of this fact and worked to design the mobile layout before creating the desktop display. Acabado is one of the few, if not the only theme to place such a high emphasis on mobile optimization. Your overall mobile site appearance and efficiency won’t be compromised with the Acabado theme. In all likelihood, your mobile website might look even better than your desktop design. Acabado Preview & Purchasing If you’d like to see this theme in action, Ricky and Jim have implemented it on a few of their own niche sites. Check out Camper Report and Outdoor Troop to see the functionality and customization of this theme. When it comes to purchasing Acabado, Ricky and Jim offer two different buying options. The first option is a yearly recurring payment of $50. The second option is a 100-year license which is a one-time payment of $99. I’d definitely suggest the 100-year license as it is the biggest bang for your buck. Project 24 members will also receive added incentives and discounts for utilizing the Acabado theme. See their incredibly fast and clean theme here! Conclusion: Should You Buy ‘Project 24’ Course? income school project 24 has made a world of a difference to me and my income.

Automate Your Content Quickly | Case Study
As a niche website owner, the dream would be to have an automated process for adding content to your site, right? Think about it, whilst you’re sleeping, content is being added to your site daily, weekly or even monthly with little to no effort from yourself. Automate your content for quick growth. We all know that the more content you add, the more traffic you’ll receive. We also understand that the quality of the content has a big bearing on the amount of traffic you’ll receive. If you’re like me, the owner of a small niche website, then you’ll know how time-consuming it can be to write all the content yourself. But its also hard to relinquish the responsibility to someone else. You worry about the quality, the topic and the style of writing that someone else will produce. I get it and that’s why it’s very hard to hand over the reins to someone else. But what if there was a way to do this without giving up 100% control and not spending a fortune to hire 5-star writers at 30-40 cents a word. Now, I know not everyone who reads this blog will be in a position to pay someone else or a company to produce and write content for their site. I totally get it. It can be a difficult mental process to automate your content and let others help. But I may have found an affordable solution to at least start the process of automation on your site. Are you considering placing ads on your site and making money from your traffic? If yes, Then checkout Ezoic! An amazing advertising platform for niche websites. Click here! What Do I Mean By ‘Automate Your Content’? Simply put, it’s allowing someone to research content, then write the content and then add it to your niche website without any participation from yourself. You don’t even choose the keyword or topic. It’s a totally automated and hands-off approach to niche website blogging. All you do is select the number of articles per month and the number of words (this is the secret) – I’ll reveal more later in this blog. Automation doesn’t have to be scary Re-Invest In Your Business Like any business, you need to reinvest your profits back into the business; to grow consecutively month on month. Automating niche website content when you first start out is probably out of the question for most people. I get it! This is a process and a website growth plan that you could consider when you’re making some money and would like to grow your niche website with a more hands-off approach. Monthly Content Service I have used several content providers over the years – some good and some not so good. Let’s not go there! Currently, I’m using BKAContent and ContentDevelopmentPro for my blogs and whilst ordering my usual content package I noticed they provided a monthly service. This service caught my eye! They provide a service that is totally automated and hands-off which sounds great. However, it can be costly. Even for a niche website that is making good money, it is out of reach for most people. See some of the prices below: The image above shows 4-Star writers which are very good but you can even go that one step higher and select 5 Star writers; which then jumps in price to $800. My Idea And Concept As you can see from the prices above, to order 10 x 1000 word articles researched and published onto your website each month is costly. So, to automate your content, you will need to consider the costs involved. So, what is my concept? Well, it’s simple and will cut down the cost dramatically. Yes, it’s not a totally hands-off approach but it’s one step closer to having great content with good keywords and topics added to my site monthly with very little cost to me. Let’s get into the detail of my concept The Case Study Place an order for 10 very small articles from Bkacontent or Content Development Pro for 500 words. The topics and keywords and all the hard work will be done by the content providers. In this case study, I will show you how I plan to get 10,000 words added semi-automatically (fully automatically if you have the funds). I will be ordering from ContentDevelopmentPro and sharing the process of this concept with you all in this blog and on my Youtube channel in due course. What Content Development Pro will do: They research the keywordsThey send you the topic ideas and keywords they foundYou approve or reject the keywordsIf you approve the keywords they start the writing processWhen completed, they add them directly to your websiteThey also add images and format the postsThen save them to draft for you to inspect and complete The key to this project or concept are the words above; ‘Inspect and Complete’. In a nutshell….. After they produce the researched content and add 10 x 500-word articles, you then go into each one and add extra content. You add an SEO paragraph in the first two or three paragraphs (I explain more on my Youtube video), you embed videos, tables, charts and even screenshots where needed. I would also add an F.A.Q and a paragraph or two to bump up the content. It’s as simple as that! For as little as $300 you have 10 x 1000+ word articles. Well researched topics with good SEO formatted articles written by 4/5 Star Elite writers and finished off by you! Now, where can you get 10,000 words for less than $300? Written by Elite writers. Ordering the service The ordering process is very simple. Simply select the package you want. The price will depend on a couple of things. Number of wordsQuality of writer (we use 4-star writers)How quickly you need the articleIf you want it published directly onto your site Time scales and data collection The turnaround time from ordering to approving the topics and keywords was 9 days. After three days we received the first article which was published directly to the site as a draft copy. That way you have a chance to go into the article and add extra images, links internal and external and affiliate links to products and services. The final article was published 9 days later. Publishing and Formatting We spent the next couple of days adding an extra 500 words to each article and an F.A.Q section which took the total word count to around 1100-1200 per article. We also added Youtube videos that were relevant to the topic and added data, graphs, tables, and charts depending on the topic covered. In total, it took just 11 days to publish 10 articles with a total of 14,350 words – for a grand total of $300. $30 for a great article which took us around 1.45 hr per article to complete and publish. The best part was the lack of involvement on our part. All the hard work of researching the topics and setting out the basic article was already done for us. Manually Writing Content Vs Automation The million-dollar question…. Should you write the content yourself or set the motions in place to automate your content? Well, this will depend on how much time and money you have. If your site is growing and earning money, then reinvesting back into your website is not a bad thing to do with the earnings. After all, your website will not grow without content. The search for passive income takes time and time is your most valuable commodity. By freeing up your time away from writing all the content, you can spend it on other worthwhile projects on your site like producing a podcast or making Youtube videos. Diversification in affiliate marketing is the key to longterm success. So spending all your time writing WordPress blogs is not the best business plan. Spread your time wisely! Pros of Manual Content You’re in total control over the content Your ideas will not get lost in translation to external writersYou don’t have to deal with emails and questions from writersThe satisfaction of writing and adding your name to a great piece of content Cons of Manual Content If you work a full or part-time job, it leaves little time to write contentIt’s hard to find topics to write about, especially if you already have plenty of content English may not be your first languageIt may take you longer to write than a professional hired writerIt’s often frustratingResearch can take agesWriter’s block can hit at any time Pros of Automatic Article posting Grow your passive income with very little effortThe quantity can increase as your earnings growYou’re in control of the word count and timingsYou can broaden your niche without the need for more researchIncrease your earnings month on monthCombine with automatic social media posting and 2 x your traffic100% original contentThey come up with the keywords and topics Cons of Automatic Contract Posting Costly – unless you add extra word count yourselfGiving up control can be hard for some peopleGood communication is needed between writers and contracts to ensure your writing style is provided that fits your website Who We Use For Content Writing When it comes to choosing a content provider in your quest to automate your content, there are several to choose from. Trust me over the years we have used most – if not all of them! We do have a team of writers that we have found over the years from Upwork. However, they only provide work that we ask them to write. Ie: We provide the topics, keywords, writing style, etc. Finding a company to do this for you is much harder. We have narrowed it down to three content providers and all have their own qualities. BKA Content BKA Content Okay, so we’re not going to go into too much detail in this post. We’ll save that for a full review someday of BKA Content. However, we like them for their quality writing skills, especially for longer articles that need lots of data and technical content. CLICK HERE FOR PRICES! Iwriter Iwriter Content Provider We use iWriter after testing a few of their writers and finally finding a couple of good ones. Once you find a good writer you can add them to your favorite list. This will make it easier for next time. We have a couple of writers that produce different styles of writing depending on the type of content we need. CLICK HERE FOR PRICES Content Development Pro Content Development Pro This is our go-to company for monthly automated content thanks to their flexibility on word count and prices. You often get a 10% discount for regular orders so that’s also a bonus. As we stated at the start of this blog, we use the 5 x 500 words or 10 x 500 words monthly service. It’s perfect for when you want to start to automate your content on a budget. CLICK HERE FOR PRICES! Do Monthly Content Publishing Contracts Work? When you own a niche website or multiple websites, you take notice of the big boys and how they grow their businesses. What’s that old saying… You learn from the best! I follow a few people and watch how they use automated content along with other methods to get explosive growth. This cannot be achieved without help. By using their income to purchase content they can increase the amount of content being posted on their sites and therefore increase income. Increased income = Increased Content = Increased income Once you’re on this automated wheel you will see rapid exponential growth. This is how businesses and websites like FatStack.com get their huge incomes. Read Jon’s content here. He is one of my favorite affiliate marketers who uses niche websites and native ads to make a fantastic monthly income. See some of his earnings reports below to see the potential of buying monthly paid content, automatically written and posted directly onto your website each day, week or month. As you can see, the potential for a niche website to grow and provide you with a life-changing income is there for the taking. But you can’t do it all alone. The amount of great content needed to provide you with $10,000+ income a month will be very difficult for one person to write themselves. Yes, It’s possible but it will take several years writing each week to reach those numbers. Conclusion: Automatic Content Publishing vs Manual Content Publishing So, how did we get on? Well, the results are looking good so far. We are waiting for all the content to rank and start seeing some traffic on Google, then we’ll publish the results. Sign up to our newsletter and we’ll keep you informed. Or subscribe to our new Youtube channel and be the first to see the results. There’s no doubt in our minds that the search for passive income at some point will need to focus on automation of some sort. Otherwise, you’ll limit your potential. If you’re pursuing a passive income, then I take it that you don’t have lots of spare cash to invest in content. So, try my method and see how you get on. $300 a month and a few hours work to publish 10 x 1000+ word articles can’t be bad. Imagine 2-3 years of doing this method plus writing some yourself! This will provide you will a healthy passive income for years to come. Of that, I have no doubt!
Why Niche Websites Should Update Old Content
As niche bloggers and online content providers, you spend hours writing and creating. Have you ever stopped to think about when the content you poured so much effort into will have the most views? And similarly, when will your content become dated? Why let your hard work turn into dead weight when you can reindex content and bring new traffic to your site. In this article, we’ll discuss why it’s important and what you can do to update old content. We’ll take a look at: Click-Through RatesThe Content ItselfSearch TrafficInbound and Outbound LinksDated and Updated ContentBreaking Up Your ContentContent Promotion Let’s get started! Click-Through Rate If you’ve been creating content for long enough, likely you utilize Google Analytics. It’s a fantastic resource for tracking all sorts of information when it comes to traffic and audience engagement on your site. We’re going to start by first taking a look at the “Search Analytics” in your Google Analytics panel. What does your click-through rate look like? It might be all over the map when it comes to various pieces of content. If you have some that appear much lower than others, that’s a pretty big sign that you need to tweak your older content to make it relevant again. Are you considering placing ads on your site and making money from your traffic? If yes, Then checkout Ezoic! An amazing advertising platform for niche websites. Click here! First, start by analyzing key elements like your title and the description. How does your content appear in a Google search? Your title should be concise and contain keywords letting the audience know what they should expect by clicking your link. The description should provide just enough of a teaser to intrigue the reader and make them want to read more. The more concise, clear, and intriguing your short snippets and titles are, the more engagement you’ll see. Luckily, these elements are easy to change, even after content is published. The Content Itself Editing is key. Let’s repeat that for emphasis. Editing. Is. Key. Even if you are short of time, there is no excuse to have grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors in your content. When you publish content that is poorly written, this will invalidate all authority you ever had over a topic. Your audience will view you as an amateur. They will no longer trust you as a guide and resource. Think about it, when you read an article and see a glaring typo or lack of spacing, how do you feel? Probably not great. Though it’s a simple mistake, it’s also an avoidable mistake. When you’re checking your click-through rate in the previous step, open up a few links to low performing pieces of content. Scan through them and check for any obvious mistakes. Try using a tool like Grammarly. There is a free version available, which provides a ton of help when it comes to proofreading and editing. Search Grammarly and click the ADD TO CHROME FOR FREE button They also have a premium version that will show you things like passive verb usage and sentence structure, which is important when it comes to SEO. We’ll get to SEO in a minute. Understand that you can make changes. Nothing is permanent. If you think an article is particularly lacking, then rewrite and republish it. However, if there are just a few little tweaks to be made, no need to do an entire rewrite. Just make the necessary changes. Taking the time to improve your writing will pay off in the long run, especially when it comes to building an audience who trusts you. Once you’ve built that, then they’ll come back again and again for more information. Search Traffic Heading back to our Google Analytics, it’s time to take a
look at our search traffic. Take stock in which topics and articles have good
traffic versus which ones have little to none. This is where SEO comes into
play. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and it is incredibly important
in driving traffic to your content. If you use WordPress, Yoast is an excellent
SEO tool that essentially gives you a checklist of things to make sure your
article is optimized. Yoast offers a free plugin but you can upgrade to their premium one and add multiple keywords For SEO, you’ll want to make sure your article has a keyword. What is the focal point of what you’re talking about? This should be reflected in your title and article description. Your article will appear in Google searches when someone searches your keyword. You can also increase your SEO by having easy to read content and inbound and outbound links. That’s just scratching the tip of the iceberg when it comes to SEO. While at face value, it may seem overwhelming learning all of this at once, remember to take it step-by-step and recognize how exciting it is that you have so many ways to improve and update your old content. Inbound and Outbound Links When digging through old content, be sure to test every link
included in your articles. You should do this every time before you publish
something as well. When it comes to older content, websites change, things get
deleted, products are taken off of the market. Have you ever read an article
about a product you were particularly excited about? You clicked the link
hoping to buy it but the product was no longer available. Avoid that
disappointment by making sure every single link you post clicks through. This is especially important when it comes to source material for factual content and affiliate marketing. Let’s say you have an entire business built around affiliate marketing, you won’t be making any money if your links aren’t clickable. Take a look at Link Whisper plugin. It will make adding interenal links faster, smarter and alot easier if you have lots of articles or pages on your site. You’ll also need consistent and substantial traffic to be qualified as an affiliate marketer. Taking the time to update old content will give you a better chance at qualifying for affiliate marketing. Once you’re approved for affiliate marketing, maximize your income by making it easy and possible for your audience to click outbound links. Click Here to find out more about LinkWhisper Similarly, you can add inbound links to content that is performing well. An inbound link is a link that takes your audience to another article or page on your site. If you have an article that receives a ton of traffic, consider adding a few inbound links to other lower-performing articles through your content. Or add a “Did you like this post? Go check out x,y,z for more”. This will bring your reader’s attention to other content on your site. Optimizing your links is truly essential for helping people find your content and increasing your traffic. We use two plugins or pieces of software for adding internal links and another for checking that all the links within your content are still working and not broken. The first is Linkwhisper, this plugin (PAID PLUGIN) will suggest a link for all your content without having to go through every word on your page hoping to find a suitable place to insert a link. It can save you hours and set up a solid internal linking structure which is very important when Google crawls your pages. It will help with ranking positions in the SERPs results. The second one we use is called GeniusLink which will detect and report back to you if any of your links are broken. As you can see from my report today I have 5 Links to Amazon Products which are broken. Imagine, you have written an awesome piece of content, you have found traffic and people are reading you review or product guide. Then they say ‘Hey I love this product and I want it now!’ They click the link only to see a 404 error! Arrrrrrgh! All that hard work to get a sale – gone! Well, GeniusLink will help prevent this from happening. Click here to read the complete review we did on this product. I’m sure you’ll find it helpful. Dated and Updated Content Let’s say, for instance, you have a blog post all about the recent fires in the Amazon. At first, it was reported that there was one massive fire covering thousands of acres. That statement was later retracted and it was announced that it was numerous tiny fires. These tiny fires were burning in order to make room for cattle to graze. If you don’t update your first article to reflect the updated news, your content becomes immediately null and void. Similarly, if your niche is in the tech or medical industries, changes are made all the time. It’s very important to fact check and keep your information relevant if you want to remain a trusted source. Let’s say you don’t want to rewrite an entire article about forest fires in the Amazon, you can utilize what’s called an editor’s note. At either the end or beginning of your article, add additional text letting your reader know what has changed. Add a date to your note along with the updated information. This will look great to your audience showing that yes, you did report on the initial information and you also took the time to followup and give them new information. Or you could use this as a chance to create a new post and utilize inbound links within your old and new articles to link them together. Breaking Up Your Content Image by Jan Vašek from Pixabay Reading long paragraphs without any visual stimulation can
be drab. Readers’ attention rates are not high. Try breaking up your text with
elements like: Headers and subheadersImages & VideosSubheadersQuotesBulleted Lists Get creative! Adding all of these things can also add a
boost to your SEO. Do you see what we did there? We broke apart the text so
your brain had to take the time to register each of these things. Not only did
you have to read the initial sentence, but then you had to take note of the
bulleted list and the call to action letting you know how you can boost your
SEO score. When adding an image, you’ll see an area for alt image
description. This feature is used for people with low visibility or who cannot
see the image at all. This also allows sneaking your keyword into the
description, which will then register with google and boost your overall SEO
score. Similarly, Google also “reads” and registers your content through your headers and subheaders. Utilizing your keyword/s in a few of your headers will give Google more information about your work. When you give Google as much information as possible, they’re able to rank your content much higher in search results. Content Promotion What tools are you utilizing to promote your content? Are you relying solely on Google search traffic? That’s not enough, especially when there is a myriad of options to promote your work. In this day and age, social media is your best friend. Even if you don’t use it personally, using it for your business is a must. Set up your Facebook page, Instagram profile, and even Pinterest account. Image by Kevin King(Chandana Perera) from Pixabay There are many strategies when it comes to these, but the main key is consistency. If you utilize Pinterest, it’s recommended that you pin at least 30 pins a day. Make sure they are quality pins that correlate with your brand. Pinterest is great for linking to your blog posts. Create graphics and images for your content meant specifically for pinning. Add it to your own Pinterest profile and watch the traffic pour in. Pinterest also has a great business profile tool that will show you exactly how many times your pins have been seen re-pinned and clicked. It tracks the amount of organic traffic going to your content. Now Instagram might be the very best option. It gives you maximum audience engagement opportunities. However, it’s important to note, if you’re working to build a following don’t be spammy. What do we mean by that? Don’t just go through and like hundreds of random pictures hoping people will follow your account. This will trigger Instagram’s spam censors and your account will be blocked. It’s all about making the algorithm happy. Instead, go through and like 30 pictures at a time and comment meaningful engaging comments. Users will recognize this, especially if you’re consistent. With consistent and genuine engagement, your following will grow. Promote your content in your Instagram stories and IGTV. You should be doing everything in your power to make it easy
for your audience to find your content. You can even find subreddits that fit
your niche or business and promote your work on there. The possibilities are
endless. Reindexing updated content Once you have updated your content you’ll want to let Google know so it can crawl your site and see the changes you made. You would then hope that Google will rank your content higher thanks to all the hard work you’ve done improving it. How to re-submit your updated content for reindexing. Go to Google Search consoleClick the website that you would like to index content forClick the URL INSPECTION tab ( See image )Paste the URL for the updated post into the search bar and press enterGoogle will go fetch you post or pageThe press ‘ REQUEST INDEXING’ ( See image ) This can take a few minutes. Once do you’ll see a notice telling you it has been added to the list for re-indexing Now you have completed the reindexing process it’s just a matter of time before Google crawls your site again. This can vary from a few hours to a couple of days. Remember you can only resubmit for indexing a limited number of posts per week. We would only suggest reindexing a post once you have made significant changes to the content. If you change the URL or Permalink you’ll need to redirect the old URL to the new one then you don’t lose any traffic whilst Google crawls your updated content. After entering the URL of the post or page you would like to reindex Google Search Console will crawl your post and hopefully ping back green ticks to say it’s found it and it’s available for reindexing. Once this happens you can click the Request indexing button to tell Google that you have updated your old content and you’d like them to take another look at the post. If the updated content is good you should see some better results in Google Serps within days even hours sometimes. I have seen old content on page 2-3 of Google jump onto page 1 within hours. Conclusion: Should You Update Old Content If you implement all of the above strategies and work hard to update old content, you’re sure to see an uptick in traffic. Yes, it will take time to comb through your site, but it will be worth it. Taking the time to reindex content can drastically change your click-through rate, which in turn will increase your monetization capabilities. Take a look at the traffic screenshot below. See the spike after 30 articles around 1-year-old was updated. Two months later you can see the huge spike as many of the updated articles increased in Google Rankings. To briefly recap, start by checking your click-through rate. After that, take the time to analyze the quality of content you’re producing. Next, take a look at your search traffic and implement some SEO strategies. Make sure your content includes inbound and outbound links. Fact-check and be certain your content is up to date. Double-check that your content is broken up and captivating. Lastly, take a look at how you’re promoting your content and if it’s effective. If you break the process down into these steps, it’ll feel less overwhelming and more empowering. Remember you have the power to make these changes and to get your content out there. That’s exciting! It’s time to update old content and put your site on the map. Related Content You Might Find Interesting
