Hello, where and whenever you are.

Finally! My initial keyword research is done! Yay for me!

OK - a brief timeline

1. I was given the word 'Landscape' to build a site around.

2. I fixed on landscape for gardens as being my niche

3. I used a free Chrome extension called SEOMinion to dig into the People Also Ask section of Google for 6 specific search queries.

4. This gave me 165 questions that people had typed into Google

5. I then put all those through Jaaxy to discover the QSR for all of them.

6. I then sorted the qestions into different categories - which will be the categories of the blog.

7. I did think of using AhRefs' free Keyword Difficulty Checker to find out how easy it would be to rank for each of those questions but I found out that the tool just kept spitting back "We don't have enough data for that search" - I think the tool works well with keywords that are between 1 and 3 words long but not entire sentences - so I abandoned that.

So,I was thinking of researching affiliate programs as my next step but I think it's more important to get content out there - once I have content published in each of my categories then the quicker I'll know what sort of monetization I can do.

This leads me on to how to actually put together a piece of content for the web. Now, the following steps are how I do it - you may well do it entirely differently. "Horses for courses" as they say.

My Art & Science Of Content Creation

Each and every piece of content you put onto the web as an entrepreneur NEEDS to have an end goal - a reason for you producing it in the 1st place - whether it's a tweet or an e-book, a FB post or a pdf.

This goal can be anything from asking viewers to 'like' your video to clicking on a CPA offer to buying the product you've just reviewed.

Just putting content out there because you've 'been told to' or because you've heard that "content is king" will mean that you'll be busy but you may not bring in the bucks - which, in the main, is the reason for us being here.

So, for every piece of content I publish, I ask myself 7 questions:

• What do I need to do
• Why am I doing this?
  
• Who is my audience
  
• Where am I going to place my content?
  
• How will I get my audience to interact with my content?
  
• What do I want my audience to do next?
  
• How long will this content take me to do?

Let's take this 'live' as it were and produce a piece of content for the site from my list of keywords.

OK, so I've picked 'how do I design my own landscape' form my list of keywords - let's answer those 7 questions:

Q1. What Do I Need To Do?

I need to write a 1500 word, seo-optimized blog post focused on the keyword.

Q2. Why Am I Doing This?

I need quick visitors to my site to get a better understanding of of what my audience is interested in.

Q3. Who Is My Audience?

I want to help people who cannot afford or do not want to use a professional to create a stunnning garden.

Q4 Where Am I Going To Place My Content?

I will place my content on my blog and it will appear on the SERPs

Q5. How Will I Get My Audience To Interact With My Content

By giving them 3 links to 3 different, free, garden design tools

Q6. What Do I Want My Audience To Do Next?

Click through to more tageted content

Q7. How Long Will This Take?

With research I plan for 4 hours to write and publish this content.

OK, that's the questions answered - I'm going to write this article now and publish it and put a link to the site on my WA profile once it has been written.

Time is now 1600hrs, on Tuesday 20th July 2021 - see you in 4 hours.
