Exactly 24 hours in from my new Facebook ad campaign & it’s looking good!! 🤩🤩 This is a sub niche from my main website, whenever I posted anything that was related to this niche, my engagement would go crazy, so decided to create a new page around it. $2 daily spend, $0.02 cpf

Meanwhile in the U.K., I just dropped my kids off to church for an Easter service, then they’ll all happily walk back to school where there are no gun toting security guards, doors that lock from the inside or expecting to ask children under 10 to do a gun drill. It’s. The. Guns.

An absolute record month for me over on Pinterest. This time last year my Pinterest account was only hitting around 4 million impressions and about 20k link clicks. What am I doing differently?

I remember when I first took Pinterest seriously, 5 yrs ago & it became the main driver of traffic. However, I kept following bad advice like don’t pin more than 20 pins a day & only canva style text pins. I started experimenting with 35 pins a day & wow. There’s no stopping it!

Is the Google game over? Pinterest took over as main traffic driver to my site in mid Oct & yesterday I had more page views from direct visits than Google!! My 2024 goal is to keep doing SEO but make my sole concern Pinterest & FB. My traffic from Google yesterday was abysmal 😬

One of the things I keep seeing people say on here is that Google rewards brand awareness, or signals that people want to see your content. My direct traffic is 2nd highest traffic source, but I’m still stuck in purgatory after the HCU. I don’t think Google knows what it wants!

In incredible scenes (for me), site no. 1 went over 200k page views today. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever manage this. This time last year, it was languishing in the 90k mark. Keep working at those sites guys 💪🏻💪🏻

My Pinterest account keeps going from strength to strength. Generally, I find my niche starts to tail off in December as people concentrate on Christmas. But it’ll boom 💥 in January. Just need to work on those CTRs!

I still don’t understand why brands are always falling over themselves to work with influencers on instagram. I have 270k followers & think the best link clicks I’ve ever got on an AD promotion in my stories was around 100 clicks. In contrast, my Pinterest account sent 120,000…

A year ago I created a new site after finding 100s of low difficulty & high volume keywords. ‘23 was such a busy year, I never did anything with it. I’m going to start throwing AI posts on it & see how quickly I can monetise it with Pinterest & Google. I shall document it here!

This time last year I knew little SEO but started to teach myself. I worked hard to implement it & slowly saw my clicks grow. This week, my clicks are now less than where they were a year ago, when there was little SEO on my site. I feel all that hard work was a waste of time 😬

A very good reason why, when building niche sites, to concentrate on US, UK, Canada & Australia audiences. Look at those RPMs 🤩 At the beginning of ‘23, I started to concentrate on writing for US audiences & my earnings went from $800 a month to nearly hitting $4k this month.

Started 2 FB pages today with the aim of getting 10k followers as quickly as possible, getting into the bonus program & monetising via FB before creating sites (to see if it’s worth it & what potential traffic could be for the niche). Already at $0.05 per like! Looking promising

I feel like I’m forever doing 1 step forward & 2 steps back with SEO & trying to figure how to make money with my blog. It can be so overwhelming & I’m not very good at prioritising. But then, I realised I made $792 in Nov ‘22 & $9523 last month so I stop being so hard on myself.

Current Pinterest status, off the scale! If only Google would do the same… I do love this time of year, it’s so good for my niche with Jan/Feb being the best. I’m going all in on Pinterest & FB (which has grown by 500 followers in the last 2 weeks!)

2nd site is finally growing (slowly) on Pinterest. It’s been such a slog, but I’ve realised that applying my 1st sites strategy (home decor) to this site (travel) does not work. Travel on Pinterest is a completely different beast & it’s all about the large, long, text images!

I’m on course to make just shy of $10,000 this month. Unbelievable. It turns out that if you stop obsessing over social media (I’m looking at you Instagram) on concentrate on your blog and building a brand, that’s where the real money is. Next month… $15000!!

It’s mental how Facebook works. I’ve been using it to promote my site for 6 years, never really putting any effort in. For obvious reasons, I’ve gone all in on FB since Oct. I keep reading that being negative (eg. saying something like “The Worst place…”) works. I can confirm

I’ve been using Pinterest extensively for 6 years now, it’s always worked extremely well. However, now that everyone knows what a traffic goldmine it is, Pinterest is becoming hugely flooded with content. I’m worried that soon, they’ll need to do what Google did & limit reach

The thing I’ve noticed since the HCUs is there is no longer a definitive spike. Sunday used to be an amazing day for organic traffic, sometimes getting 5x more than any other day. Now it’s just a flatline dribble, with this Sun getting 210 clicks & Mon 350?! It doesn’t make sense

The one good thing about the HCUs that saw my site go from 2k clicks a day to 400, is that I started to pivot away from SEO. God, I found it boring. Chasing dull keywords & writing content that I wouldn’t read. I absolutely love creating content for FB & having so much fun now.

Oh, & one more thing, which is probably a really important point. Pinterest itself has changed. It is no longer trying to be insta/tiktok. It no longer has 2 tabs for images & video (which was ridiculous IMO). It is predominantly an image search engine 🙌🏻 Thank you

Quantity mainly. For years I believed that you should post no more than 25 pins a day. My scheduler would warn me if I went over that number so I stuck to 25. I am now pinning around 35/40 pins a day and my impressions have skyrocketed.

One thing I’ve noticed when looking at organic search on a lot of niche sites & competitors, is that we all seemed to have a huge traffic increase in Jun/Jul ‘23. And around 90% of those have had a huge crash ever since. It’s like Google wanted to give us hope & then ruin them?

One of the most important things I’ve learnt this year is to hold tight when things change or Google lands everyone with a nasty update. I panicked after the HCU, changed my blog theme (it was a rolling blog home page & wanted to do it anyway) & dropped my frequency of ads…

I’ve been posting regularly to FB for over 6 months now (up to nearly 15 posts a day). It was a mixture of links and standalone images. The difference in reach between them is massive. My link posts would get in the 100s, some of my standalone posts have got over 100,000.

people to my blog alone last month, with 1 pin alone sending 18000 people. Even FB knocks IG out of the park with 3000 clicks. I get TikTok, if a post on there goes viral, it goes mental. But IG?!? What a waste of time.

Pinterest most definitely. That platform is on fire right now & I’m looking to increase my pins from 35 a day to 40🔥 The biggest change though (I think) is; I changed my site font size from 16px to 19px & the uptick in earnings is evident. I’m surprised I didn’t realise sooner!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Just before HCU I was getting around 2k clicks a day. This week I’m lucky to get 200. Loads of revenue lost but what I’ve noticed is that I used to get loads of brands contacting me to collaborate & that has also disappeared overnight. My income is down by 75%
