Hello, Morten. Thank you for the detailed strategy. Can the undeserving topic strategy be applied to any niche?

Some visit that normally shows on my Google analytics, does not display on some of my tracking tools. Why?
@PassiveIncomeGeek2 жыл бұрын
Because they track users differently. The tools don't have access to your site code (I assume) and even if they have a tracking script embedded, that tracking pixel may fire later than the Google Analytics code (or Search Console code) which means they don't track exactly the same data.

I think in terms of SEO tools/plugins and AI writers, I do think it's a little more nuanced. I think I would have two approaches, one for the person who has very limited time and resources and a short time horizon to profitability. I'm thinking of the Mom or Dad with several kids and a full time job trying to break free from the 9-5 and being paycheck to paycheck. I would definitely recommend the 'Tools' approach in this situation. I think the tools can help in a variety of ways for someone in this bucket - but essentially you can get a decently optimized and decent quality article to market pretty quickly and start getting traffic. I think there is clear value with the tools. There's definitely a reason why they continue to exist and be profitable! However, on the flip side, if someone does have plenty of time, and a long time horizon to profitability, they are in a fantastic financial situation currently etc, I might recommend the more organic approach, the 'Income School' approach. This approach is 100% risk-free, but if you aren't careful, it can be 100% profit-free also! lol. There are other factors as well, such as the niche you are in. I think some niches lend themselves very well to using tools, others not so much. Especially with AI writers, some niches work great, some are simply not even possible to use. Or here is another way to think about it. Say there is a friendly wager between two bloggers. One uses tools, the other does not. The first one to $1,000 in profits is the winner. If you had to bet on which one gets to $1,000 first, who would you bet on. Just an interesting thought, lol, who knows who would actually win, though I would put my money on the tools, lol. At any rate, whether one uses tools or not, your last bit about getting your titles right could not be more important. Great way to close the video. Improving titles and CTR is the fastest way to improve revenue without question.
@PassiveIncomeGeek2 жыл бұрын
Great observations and insights. I agree that in some cases tools do have their place - like if you cannot write proper English - but I've tried to clean up articles after Jarvis and it takes a looong time. But I guess you can get better at it and maybe find way to make it not put in ANY facts?
@INFPinSA2 жыл бұрын
@@PassiveIncomeGeek In terms of tools, I'm definitely less keen with Jasper/AI, than SEO tools such as Surfer and Ahrefs. I do use Jasper daily though, and it's far from perfect. For me, it's the fact checking that is the main thorn in my side. But I do think tools like Surfer and Ahrefs are pretty essential in the beginning (and beyond). They really help you understand the big picture when you are starting out. They can really help validate your progress also, when you analyze your own site and see your domain rating growing, keyword rankings growing, etc. It can be very motivating to see progress with a paid tool. Digital marketing comes very naturally to some people, others not so much, even though they love the field. Tools are invaluable for the folks who love the field but maybe aren't 'naturals' at it. But my main point is, there isn't a 'one size fits all'. My main point though is for some people, the Income School approach makes sense, for others a more tools-centric approach will likely have better results in the beginning. I do think though that it's generally bad advice to say broadly that tools are to be avoided, and I don't think the new Helpful Content update changes that. However, I do reserve the right to be completely wrong about that. :)
