I took Brad Smith’s SEO Course. It’s free and packed with valuable information about how to grow blog traffic with three main methods. If you don’t have time to watch 8 hours of videos, steal my notes!

His course goes over the following:

• How to properly plan your content, what you should be covering and why

• How to optimize your operations and organize your team with workflows and content briefs

• How to determine what your distribution drivers are and the best tactics for getting backlinks

I took extensive notes on this course, so I know they’ll be helpful to you - especially if you watch Brad’s course while you follow along with my notes.

Enjoy!

Here’s a creator I LOVE to follow. Her name is Emily (@emonthebrain), and she’s a neuroscientist who always shares easy tips and tricks to get your brain to be its best. I’ve implemented a few of her suggestions, which have been game-changers for me! Here are some of her last few posts:
