After Google Update, I'm still here!

Hello everyone!

Hope you're all doing great and keep working on your website (s)

I upgraded my membership here at WA to Premium Plus and this had me busy, as I got so many classes to watch and this took me to work more on my websites (2)

As September began, I had my mind busy with lots of classes to watch, writing some content for my websites and recording some videos for my YouTube channels, I was really busy when I heard for the first time about the new Google update.

I knew it will hit my websites, and I knew what to expect, so I got to thinking that it was better to not to think much about it and keep working on my normal agenda... but when the update started to hit so many websites, mine were also hit.

It was little the drop of the traffic at the start, but it was hard later, and I think it hasn't yet ended, as Partha said, we all need to wait until the last week in October to see how hard each website will do.

Partha also gave the best tip: don't do anything to try to fix it, just keep working to create more content for your website (s) as you normally do. He also said it would do better if we could write from 20 to 30 new posts for our websites.

Website 1

This website is on the DIY niche, and it was hit hard, I lost half of the traffic and it still has some problems to get back to normal, but it's too soon to see if it will get its traffic back or not.

I only wrote 8 new articles, all tutorials and each tutorial has its own video on YouTube.

This website is monetized with Google ads and the daily earnings dropped so low, that it took me to think: now what should I do?

Website 2

This website is written in English and it's also on the DIY niche.

It was hit really badly, it lost about 80% of its traffic.

The reason might be this: I haven't written a new article on this website in the last 3 years.

This website is monetized with affiliate marketing, and it was doing good, but this past month the earnings dropped to its lowest :(

Anyway, I thought you might want to see you might not be alone, I had some problems with this last Google update.

The best part of this is that I didn't panic this time, I will wait until the end of October to see what happens and mean while, I will be working hard to get more articles published.

And another good news is: I've been using Chat GPT to write some articles. I'm getting more used to working with it and I must add this:

Premium Plus membership classes, has helped me to understand better how to work with Chat GPT, I can write a new article in less time, as I need to read what Chat GPT gives me, and I write each article with my own personal writing, but it helps me to save lots of time and also it gives me some new ideas.

I'm also using it to create the new videos description, and even the descriptions for Instagram and Facebook, I think I will get some results as I keep working this way. Thank you Eric for your classes!

The last point here is this: I'm back to work on Pinterest, hoping to get more traffic to my website from it.

As I keep working to write new content, create new videos, and new Pins for Pinterest, my days are really busy, but I hope to get better results from all this work.

If you have any tip that will help me and others, to survive this last Google update, leave it on a comment, I'm sure it will help many.

Thanks for reading my blog today!

Alejandra.
