The Easiest Way To Improve Your Blog
|
A few weeks ago, I was approached by a new blogger who wanted his blog to replace his 9-5 income so he could quit his job. (I get it; I was in that exact same position back in 2014) He said: "I know there are a million things I need to figure out to have a successful blog. But can you just give me one simple tip... something easy that will actually help me grow?" And that's when I told him about internal linking. Quick pause to tell you about a special discount. Since I knew I was going to give tips on internal linking, I "linked" up with our friends at Link Whisper to give you a special discount* on their tool that makes internal linking EASY as HECK. If you want to save a ton of time and boost your blog’s SEO, grab the discount here: Get Link Whisper with Code SYTB* *This is NOT an affiliate link - HUGE thank you to Link Whisper for this deal! What’s internal linking? It’s when you link one blog post or page to another on your own site. Sounds simple, right? It is, but most bloggers either forget about it or don’t know how to do it effectively. And that’s a missed opportunity because:
And the best part is it’s easy to start, even if you’re a beginner. Here are three simple tips to help: Tip 1: Link with Purpose (Relevance, Helpfulness, & Income) When adding internal links, think about what’s most helpful for your reader. Link posts that are relevant to the topic they’re already reading so you can guide them deeper into your blog. The longer they stay on your blog, the better! --> Also consider linking to blog posts that drive affiliate income or that make high ad income. Tip 2: Find Orphan Posts with Google Search Console "Orphan posts" are blog posts without any internal links pointing to them. (All posts should have internal links!) Use Google Search Console to spot these pages and link to them from relevant posts to give them a traffic boost. To find orphs Tip 3: Use Link Whisper to Do It 10X Faster To be honest... hunting for relevant posts and adding links manually takes forever. It really, really does 😩 especially when you start to publish more and more posts. That’s where Link Whisper comes in 😍 This tool automatically:
If you’re serious about saving time (and let’s be real, time is money) while improving your blog, Link Whisper is a must-have tool. And guess what? I haggled a special discount just for my audience because I know how valuable this tool can be. Here's the link to grab the Link Whisper discount 👉 Use code SYTB to get $25 off (this is a limited-time deal!)

Hey! I was on Threads (Meta's version of Twitter) recently and saw a gal share a screenshot of her blog earnings. She banked a solid $20,580 in one month. And that was only her income from display ads on her blog. That doesn't include her affiliate income. SO many people were shocked by this. And for good reason! Most people don’t realize how lucrative blogging can be. Some even think it’s a scam (which is fine by me; less competition for us, right? 😂). But you’re here reading this newsletter...
