Are there any sites/companies etc that bridge the gap between publishers/bloggers and the people who needs to promote their articles/blogs/products etc?

Generally people approach me from my contact page, then pay me to publish a sponsored blog. These people get money from their clients, and then pay me after taking their cut. So I was wondering if there are any companies or sites where I can register and get the clients directly?

Sorry, I’m new to this, so don’t know exact things.

Hi everyone,

I would like your opinion on my blog/domain name. My current and updated blog under construction is at http://acy.wxk.mybluehost.me/blog/. My previous site (that I created for a course but am modifying for use) that I am in the process of moving from wordpress.com to wordpress.org is bethsmith.blog/blog.  Bethsmith.blog is the domain I intend to use and /blog is the subdomain. You can look at both sites to get the feel of my brand/presence I want to convey.

 Since I also want to have this be a professional site for branding/linked in purposes, I went with bethsmith.blog. I toyed with bethsmith.com, but 1) I'm not a store and 2) it's a premium domain and like $6000/year from GoDaddy. Do you think bethsmith.blog/blog is confusing? I also considered bethsblog.blog, but that's confusing as well! I plan to launch it by end of summer (once I finish editing, getting professional photos done, switching my domain over to bluehost, and working on SEO and analytics. I might also have someone from my local WordPress group review it for me.

I tried to capture my personality and where I've been and where I want to go. I plan to write articles every other week and share on LinkedIn and Facebook (thinking about creating a Beth's Blog page on Facebook to share from). I also frankly am creating this to help with branding for jobs, as I'm a contractor and not sure when it's ending. I figure this will give me a leg up on the competition. Any other advice is much appreciated! Thanks for your time.

After much thought I started the blog. My best experience towards fitness is practical and practical 2 so. My niche about home workout for busy parents. I started blogging across 3 month.

I am very worried about that, how to bring traffic. Where should I start and end? I'm leaning towards Instagram for future traffic. In fact, I know whether it is right or wrong.

Here I see some experts who explain very nicely and guide again. If someone had given me a proper guideline then my blogging career would have survived.

I'm thinking of starting a personal blog as a hobby with no intention of monetising. Would like to blog about my various interests like travel, personal development tips, book reviews etc. (probably more like a lifestyle blog model?) Not very keen on narrowing down to one specific niche.

I'm not concerned with making a substantial income out of this but hope to at least get some engagement and traffic. Would ideally like to find a community of bloggers with similar types of personal blogs that I can read and interact with as well.

Is there a good way to achieve this and are there still people who just blog for fun? I'm open to using Instagram / Twitter to promote my blog and will learn about SEO. Thanks!

I have been using substack for close to a month now and I’ll say it’s one of the best platforms out there ,

I run a newsletter called indieniche where i interview a lot of founders sharing their product stories , tips , growth hacks, tools, Products that can help you scale your business . I also started using notes at that time too, I did a small recommendations to some of my other newsletter and got some feedbacks . Lots of people get a lot of recommendations from me. Some got 10, some got 15, this is still my highest 21, I wrote a bit about it on my notes on how recommendations has helped my writer subscribers get more users from me . You can read about ithere , don’t forget to subscribe when you read if you find it useful

The onboarding looks easy, just add a code. No help pages as such or info on how the payment is done - I guess crypto only? Does it works along with Adsense - couldn’t get any info.

Hence wanted to check if someone is really using the platform and how’s it like?

There are several blogs that I follow, that over the last 3 to 4 months, have lost between 25-35% of their monthly traffic. Not sure if all blogs are experiencing decline due to AI, but in my case, I spent 6 months building a blog and then I panicked due to AI. At this point I will take a wait and see approach.

I could be dead wrong, but in my niche, I feel like Ai is the kids of death l. What are you seeing out there ?

I have a doubt for creating web 2.0 backlink.

Which E-mail should I use for web 2.0 backlink creation, personal one or website oriented.

Please let me know

Look for best practices

Semantic SEO is all about understanding the search intent behind a user's query and the context of the content. This approach helps search engines understand your content better and rank it more effectively.

● Incorporating LSI keywords increases the content depth and relevance.

Example;

We write a blog post around the primary keyword 'start a blog'.

— Incorporating LSI keywords like 'how to create a blog' and 'beginners guide for blogging' will make the article more comprehensive.

Result;

People will love our content more than our competitors. Such behavior ends in higher user engagement, thereby contributing to better organic ranking.

The Question Is?

1. How many of you are incorporating Semantic SEO in your blogging journey?

I would like to hear your experience to further drill down the benefits of Semantic SEO.

I’m struggling a bunch and need some tips.

Hello, i need opinion from experts!

I am planning to use an ad network to run some ads to gain traffic for my website. What do you recommend, RichAds or ClickAdilla? Or is there another better option than these two? I'm targeting asia market.

For context, I have a style blog called So Tres Chic where I showcase my outfits of the week. However I recently expanded my work by doing style photoshoots of models. And I want to combine my personal style lookbook with style photography.

So since I'm combining the two concepts together how is it possible to come up with a website name that will imply that I'm both a stylist AND a photographer?

I initially liked SDPhotography since my pseudonym is Serene Dappidy (which I thought was cute), but it doesn't have a spin on the "style" aspect, which I need.

Edit: I can't afford to make a new separate blog for my model photography since I already have another business website in addition to So Tres Chic and both cost a considerable amount to maintain on wordpress.

So a couple months ago I found a niche that I found a passion in. It’s a big niche but I have the creative side to jump in and make a dent, do something different.

I found a super nice domain name and handles and wrote one blog. Ever since then I’ve been lazy and procrastinated and haven’t written anything else even though I want too.

I think the real reason I’m doing this is because I only live with my mum, and I want to start making money and helping her and proving to people I’ve got something in me.

I’ve tried a lot and I keep having shiny object syndrome because I’ve heard this may take years. I know it’s physiological but I’m not sure how too handle it. I know to make this work I have to start writing some really good quality content.

Also I’ve gained 40 pounds since Covid which I’ve been trying to lose and have failed. If I start putting time into the blog, I’ll have to work 5+ hours a day after work to really make a difference but that means no gym. I can still eat well?

Has anyone been in similar situations? I know this is so different to posts here.

Any advice??

has anyone purchased Malena’s (TikToker’s) Pinterest course? i feel like I’ve been bamboozled with courses in the past and want to see if this is worth it before the price increases next month.

I am wanting to start up a blog/lifestyle website, where we can be a community that talks about technology, sports, fatherhood/motherhood, so on and so on. Here is my intro sentence.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the exciting world of all things! Join us on a journey of discovery, from sports to technology, news to religion, and everything in between. Let's craft a unique culture together.

But I need help with a logo! My domain is Sa1nt Roman, I want something more futuristic, but classic. If that makes any sense at all!

Hello community, thank you for coming. I'm starting building a niche blog from scratch.

And I'm looking for tips/guidance/advices from people who have got the results from their strategies. I'm trying to do everything right on this new blog of mine and see what the results would be. Anything from your experience will help.

The plan is to start with 20 articles first, then start backlinking and social media. Trying to build topical authority to rank would be my strategy.

Will be grateful for all pieces of advices that you can offer.

Edit : And with all the AI stuff Google is doing, is it still worth it.

About me, I'm looking for a stable income blog, and I'm ready to put in all the required efforts. It's just that I once had a blog, adsense approved, was making less than pennies a day, and somehow had to leave that. I tried to revive that same one, but after lots of efforts it didn't. Willing to go all in on this one.

Would also appreciate if you could refer some other useful threads. If you come across any ................................

Things to take care when writing a blog

Hi So, this is the list I prepared. I want some advice/suggestions on what should be my main priority. And if there's anything I'm missing on when building a blog from scratch.

• backlinking (forums, web 2.0s like tumblr, blogger, etc)

• content quality (i go on google, search top 20 ranking articles for my blog post, brainstorm what should be best in my article, think about content ideas and curate a more complete blog post)

• number of articles (the plan is to build topical authority on a particular niche, starting from 20 to 100 articles)

• keyword research (low KD keywords from ranking websites) (the long tail keywords which don't have Direct articles )

• images (will be creating manual images rather than depending on free stock photos from pexels, unsplash,etc)

• tools (currently using ahrefs free tools, moz extension, keyword surfer, semrush, Uber suggest)

• willing to create a decent homepage and not just a list of articles

• will also be trying discover, web stories on this domain

• social media handles like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, reddit, quora

Here I am trying to build a profitable blog from scratch. i have listed all that I plan to do.

I want the community's help to understand:

• if there's something above which I can avoid doing (which doesn't get results and save efforts for other priority tasks)

• anything which I should focus on more which can bring significant results with efforts

I'm willing to do everything in my power to make this blog a success and would want your inputs that can save me from disappointment.

Any efforts that can be saved which won't impact results, any aspect I should double down on?

Looking for a real opinion: IS IT WORTH ALL THE EFFORT after google updates, and generative AI in search results

Hello everyone,

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the potential for a news curation service. The idea is to gather articles from various reputable sources like Bloomberg, The New York Times, and The Economist, and present them to our audience in a fresh, accessible format. Since the surge in AI technology, my previous company pushed us to innovate with AI tools in journalism. Having moved on, I’ve been refining these tools on my own. They’ve been instrumental in shaping topics and crafting articles.

All the pieces I’ve curated and reworked are compiled for you to review. Check out my efforts here:

I run a celeb news blog. During march, the traffic was above 20k but it goes down after that and now it is just ZERO. My pages are indexed but it doesn't even goes above ZERO. What should i do? Shall i wait or or take some action to gain traffic. What am i missing. HELP ME PLEASE

I have never really blogged, but I feel like I want to talk about technology, sports, fashion and other things that interest me! Suggestions? Please anything helps.

As an informational blog owner, which seems like the black plague of SEO right now, I am feeling really down since Google confirmed the roll out of SGE (overviews) in the United States.

It's horrible. Google is stealing our HARD and TEDIOUS work. How are we supposed to continue producing high quality content with IT WILL BE STEALED by google as their OWN CONTENT thru their new ai system.

My mind is blown. Most people here have been blogging for many, many years. How does it feel to know that Google will use your content and give you the bare minimum (a little link so the little people can't sue me!)

Remember when Google motto was: Don't be evil

I work with a lot of small companies that want to grow their website content. They don't have an extreme high budget so I am thinking of higher content writers via Fiverr or Upwork.

There are SOOO many people on these platforms that it is hard to filter out and decide on who to choose. Is there anything I should be looking out for?

Like some are so cheap.. suspiciously cheap but still have good reviews. I want quality content and some companies are more niche like Saas platforms in the event or sustainability space.

Building Backlinks in a Niche

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone a bit more experienced than myself could give me some pointers please?

I have a website doing 250k views / month in a specific niche, although my backlinks suck. I only have 3 people linking to my site - 2 of them are nonsense and one of them is my friends site. I was wondering how people improve their backlinks when in an extremely niche subject? I feel like no competitor sites would link to me (as its extremely niche and we are in direct competition). Not sure how else to get backlines organically?

The niche's keywords are very easy to rank high on (according to ahref), and I am starting to rank but was thinking backlinks may help make this a bit easier by increasing my domain authority?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Edited *** I feel you can create so much angst writing the perfect article but really is anyone being an absolute grammar nerd out there or would they prefer you just to go ahead and write how you feel comfortable without trying to sound like something you’re not. I’m not referring to bad spelling or bad grammar. But more the choice, eloquence and tone of your articles. For instance growing up I was taught to write using the least amount of words to express my pov. But I do see now not everyone follows that rule and could do an awful lot of waffling to get their point across. I’m not sure if this is an AI thing or what is the social norm.

Hello everyone! I've recently started a blog where I post progress updates/thoughts on books that I'm reading. By recently, I mean a couple days ago. I am in no way expecting to become famous off of this blog or anything, but how do I find people who are interested in reading it?

I guess basically my issue is that I just don't understand how to promote myself or grow a following in any way. Any tips/advice would be appreciated!

Is there publicly maintained list of independent blogs or rss, no matter which language?

This is my website www.iconifyu.com (under development). It's for my personal branding agency but I want to start blogging side by side related to my services. Apart from that, I want to integrate my substack newsletter on my site. I want to put lead magnets on my website. I also want to capture emails and build an email list. Apart from them, I was also thinking of adding a pop-up form to collect emails by directing them to my newsletter. So there would be 1 email and 1 newsletter. How do I do that?

I'm very confused on what plugins should I install? Please help me.

I have no idea how to do that.

Also, my website seems to be slow. I have installed 7-8 plugins on it following YT tutorials but still have no clue.

I have two blogs with overlapping topics - War Views which I currently write and is basically about warfare from 1900 onwards. But I had been thinking about writing more about naval history, and I do have an unused blog on that topic. Issue I have is that 1) I don't have time to write two blogs and 2) these blogs have overlapping topics but not to an extent I can just merge them into one (naval history blog would be from antiquity onwards).

So which would be better?

I am trying to generate traffic for my blog which is anishblogs.com . However, I have posted around 20 articles and only get like 0 or 1 visitors. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
