The 4 Absolutes For Succeeding As A Content Creator (Forget Everything Else!)
You Are A Content Creator
Yes.
In case no one told you or you haven't quite figured it all out yet, you are here to learn to be a GOOD CONTENT Creator.
It is CONTENT & Affiliate Marketing after all.
The 'Affiliate' could be replace with ''Ad Revenue', 'Social Media' or whatever else you wnat it to be.
CONTENT is constant.
That being established, there are only four (4) absolutes that you should be mastering.
I will outline them in order of priority.
1. Effective Keyword Research
This is the HEART of everything that we do as CONTENT Creators. Master this one (1) skill and life will be a constant breeze.
The biggest stumbling block as a CONTENT Creator is what to write about.
Remember, when you are choosing your Niche, choose something that you enjoy. Something that excites you and keeps you (positively) awake at night.

2. Quality Content
Now, this is where a lot of people start to fall off.
You have to write QUALITY CONTENT for your Niche but not just any CONTENT. It should be based on one of these four (4) critera:
- What people want to know/learn - "how"
- Where people want to go - "best", "near me", "in"
- What people want to make/do - cooking, baking, writing, making money, exercising
- What people want to buy
I have found that staying with those general search moments brings excellent results.

3. Build Your Traffic
Sometimes you may want to give yourself some extra advantage by promoting your CONTENT.
This is a strategy that I am finding very useful.
The one things I would advise though is that, just like producing your CONTENT, you must be consistent.
In just a few months, I have been able to grow my website traffic from a couple thousand to almost 10,000 visitors per month.
By sharing an introduction and a link to my blog post on my website on LinkedIn these are the numbers that I currently enjoy:
I post once or twice a week.
4. Engaging User Experience
Finally, you have to ensure that your visitors have an engaging User Experience (UX). If not, they will not return or share your CONTENT.
After just a few months of promoting my content on LinkedIn, I am seeing a growing interest, receiving much more engagement and also seeing that people are sharing my CONTENT in their networks.
My network and traffic are growing steadily as a result.
Like this example of what happened this morning:
My Closing Thoughts
This is what you are aiming for:
Steady, consistent and sustainable growth in your traffic.
Once you achieve that, (and this took me 3 months), the world becomes your oyster.
You can now monetize any way you choose.
Then simply, rinse and repeat to continue to Change Your Script.

I applaud your efforts, Cassi. I am so glad LinkedIn is working for you. Following the posts and methods offered by Partha and many others here has certainly made a difference.
I am also seeing an increase in traffic after providing people with what they want to know versus what I thought I wanted them to know.
Funny that.
Alex
When I started out, I was focused on "telling" people what I wanted them to know.
It was more from a position of being a "know-it-all".
I look back at those early posts and I cringe.
And then the Prince raced in on his horse . . .
The rest is history!
Congrats on the rise in traffic.
Keep going.
Cassi
Thank you,
I was doing a similar thing, I knew my subject, so why would people not read/listen to what I had to say?
Partha et al opened my eyes and I am definitely grateful for that.
Alex
It is an easy trap to fall into, Alex.
The thought that people are interested in us and our ideas.
Thankfully, we are on the right path now.
Have a good day and an enjoyable weekend.

Great progress, Cassi. Your summary in this post says it all.
LinkedIn is good. I have gotten a few invites to apply for positions due to updating my profile.

I am loving LinkedIn, Roy.
The more time I spend there, the more success I get.
It is always good to see you. :-)
Cassi
I agree with Cassi. I like LinkedIn better than most of the other platforms like it.
It is great for business connections and has a very good learning platform as well.
