I’m forever in awe of the power of SEO and blogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in March, I published a post about How to Rebrand Your Facebook Business Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After going through the steps of rebranding myself, I did one of my <\/strong>favorite<\/strong><\/em> blogging tricks: document how to do something so it can help make the process even simpler for others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few months after I published the post, it was showing up on the first page of Google. \ud83d\ude33 Now, by the end of the year, it’s ranking #1 on the search engines!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the post itself showing up #1, but there’s also a result under the “People Also Ask” section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does all this mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, rankings aren’t everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic also matters.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In other words: even though a post ranks well, it doesn’t mean that it will attract traffic. Luckily, this one does; I get hundreds of visits to the post that I may not have gotten otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
But traffic isn’t everything either.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be totally honest: I’m not a social media expert, nor do I want to be known as one. So while I don’t publish a lot of social media posts, this one is unique in that I include an\u00a0affiliate offer<\/a> for one of my favorite tools:\u00a0Canva<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just this one blogpost that ranks well and gets a fair amount of traffic, I earn residual income consistently. \ud83e\udd2f<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magical, right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the takeaway for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s no questioning the power of blogging. In fact, I’d even argue that you’re missing a ton<\/em> of opportunities by choosing not<\/em> to blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to be an affiliate to earn money either; you can simply talk about your expertise and consistently show your value to inevitably sell more products or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here’s my question for you today: are you blogging yet? And if not, what are you waiting for?!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
