Hey Morten, I was wondering about the Army Ants Method. Let's say I did some topic research on some good low comp questions I could answer and I write for those questions in one article. Do you think it'll harm the rankings of the article/site if I also answer some related topics that are relevant to the main topic of the article? Questions that I didn't necessarily do competitor research on but would be helpful. Like if I wrote an article targeting these other context topics, they would never rank. For example, in a pest control site, I have these low comp topics: -what to look for in a mousetrap -why mousetraps fail -how to set a mousetrap in an apartment And then while I'm researching or writing, I think of things like extra context that the reader might want to know about, but if I targeted these topics only in their own articles, they would never rank because of high competition: -best way to put bait on a mousetrap -the types of mice you can catch with this style of mousetrap Do you think it's fine to add these "extra" topics? Thanks.

@Everyday Designs Morten never revealed the earning from the tech site. He could have published a lot more content and have got more than 100k page views(even maybe double). It's been more than six months since he last updated us about the tech site. So, based on the pace the site expanded in just one year, there's a good probability he could have raised his earnings by X times. Just a guess buddy I too don't know about the site he mentioned.
@sagardixit84323 жыл бұрын
@Everyday Designs Yes bro let's do it! I have a goal of 120 posts this year and I will be happy to get 20k+ page views after one year. That means each month I need to put near about 10 articles to reach that goal. I am new to blogging and not that great a writer myself. After getting some earning from my blog I have plans to join Morten's course to learn more and grind.

Will you be able to answer our questions if we get stuck in the middle of our journey of creating a perfect blog?

Hi morten, I have been following you few days. I learning a lot of things video after video. I'm an aspiring blogger after spending 4months of research I picked my niche in home improvement, I remember you taught me to go with broad as much I can So after selecting my broad domain name I plan to diversify my site into 3 stages Stage 1 -- Blog about Home improvement (1st set of blogs) Stage 2 -- Blog about backyard (2nd set of blogs) Stage 3 -- Blog about Specific Pet (3rd set of blogs) I'm going to write 30 articles on each set. Is it good to go with this strategy along with backyard and pet topics in the home improvement blog? Thanks!!!
@PassiveIncomeGeek3 жыл бұрын
I'd stick to ONE site where you have the most passion until you see some success. Probably for two years, as you will move faster in the beginning with one site. Then you can diversify (at this point you have nothing to diversity from, so start with building up one income stream and then add more sites)
