How to Turn Passion Topics into Traffic: My Experience Writing About Policy & Protest Songs

One of the challenges of building an online business is figuring out how to turn what you’re passionate about into content that attracts readers, builds trust, and ultimately drives traffic.

Recently, I wrote an in-depth article about immigration policy in Australia. Now, before you scroll away—this isn’t about debating politics here at WA. What I want to share is the business strategy behind it: how you can take any passion topic (yes, even a controversial one) and repurpose it to grow your online presence.

Step 1: Write With Authority and Depth

The article I wrote was long-form (around 1,000 words), well-researched, and structured for Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T).

👉 Why this matters for business: Google loves comprehensive, authoritative content. Even if your niche is wellness, finance, or music, the same principle applies—long-form content that covers a topic thoroughly will perform better than thin or generic posts.

Step 2: SEO Optimization

I optimized the article for the keyword “Australian immigration policy” along with long-tails like “immigration policy failures” and “housing and immigration Australia.”

👉 Why this matters for business: SEO keywords are the bridge between your content and your audience. In any niche, identifying what people are searching for—and weaving those terms naturally into your content—means more organic traffic over time.

Step 3: Repurposing Content Across Platforms

Instead of leaving the article in one place, I created multiple versions of it:

• Blog Post (WordPress): The full 1,000-word article with SEO formatting.
• Social Media Posts: Shorter excerpts for TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter, with a link back to the full post.
• WA Post (this one): A meta-discussion about how I turned a personal passion into an online traffic asset.

👉 Why this matters for business: Repurposing means you squeeze more value out of your hard work. One piece of writing can generate blog traffic, social engagement, and credibility in your community.

Step 4: Linking and Building Authority

In this case, I won’t post the full immigration article on WA (because our focus here is building businesses online), but I can still link to it from my website. That creates backlinks, brand awareness, and site authority.

👉 Why this matters for business: Every time you publish on one platform and link back to your home base (your niche site), you’re signaling to search engines that your site is important and relevant. This strengthens your SEO over time.

Step 5: Keep It Niche-Relevant

The key takeaway here is this:

• Your topic can be anything you’re passionate about.
• Your framework—SEO, repurposing, content marketing—is what makes it niche-relevant to WA.

So whether you’re writing about recipes, music, travel, or yes, even politics, you can always bring the conversation back to how you’re building traffic and monetizing your content.

Final Thoughts

Passion is the fuel. Strategy is the engine.

If you’re wondering whether your personal interests “fit” into your online business, don’t hold back. Write what drives you, then use SEO, repurposing, and cross-platform sharing to turn that passion into a traffic magnet.

That’s exactly what I’ve done with my immigration article—and it’s the same process I apply to my songs, my wellness projects, and everything else I publish.
