If I started from scratch with SEO in 2024, I'd do this

[@michael.deibert]

LOVE this! Since I started my site (Queer Film Reviews), I've felt like much of the SEO advice out there didn't fit; my audience is quite niche - and yes, reaching a wider audience is more a marketing problem! I write film reviews... so the keyword is almost always that film's title. Spinning it into something to boost SEO always felt weird whenever it didn't come naturally. Given that many of the old tactics are resulting in sites loosing traction with the various updates as of late, it's important to change tactics like you propose.

@@michael.deibert 100% agree. Keyword stuffing is OUT and it also wasn’t the most lucrative anyway. Its all about building that community you can help and sending them on a journey to the answers they need ❤️❤️

Excellent info, thank you. I'm SUPER new so some of the details went over my head (but I've taken notes to revisit as I get better). QUESTION: would you consider doing a video to demonstrate the basics of getting started? I mean, really basic....? I read through a resource on your website "starting a travel blog", that's been very helpful. I've chosen a few names and have searched them for availability, so will start with that. But I'm afraid I'll get stuck once I have the domain, etc. Anyway, if you'd be willing to do that video, it would be great. You can use me as a sample case, I'm happy to share my specifics with you. (BTW, I was introduced to you by a mutual friend, Stephanie M, she speaks so highly of you and now I know why!)

Its in my 50k masterclass and the coming soon Profitable Part-Time Blogger :) I don’t currently have plans to put any on KZbin as it requires behind the scenes looks at some projects I don’t share publicly

@@leannepratt35 thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions I can help with ❤️

[@markuserikssen]

Great information, thanks Nina! One question: For people who are a bit introverted (like you and I), do you have any tips on how to be more comfortable showing yourself, or are there other ways to get around this?

[@sheknowsseo]

You don't need to have like your face out there all the time. Having the back of your head or really zoomed out shots are fine. It's more about the personality. I'm incredibly introverted myself, but I kinda challenged myself to do more than most

[@debh323]

Thanks for this Nina. You mention SameAs schema. Can you tell me how I go about implementing this? I'm afraid I'm not adept at the technical aspect of blogging, for example things like embedding structured data within my HTML, anything like that. Is there a simple way to understand how to use SamAs schema?

@@debh323 what is your theme and your seo plugin?
