Blogging when you’re a beginner is tough. I’m sure you’ve experienced writer’s block or even worse, no blog traffic. And without traffic, you can’t make money blogging or grow your online business.
Even for us, it took a lot of time, effort, and a simple blogging strategy that helped us drive over 220,000 visitors to our blog every single month (for free).
You’ll learn exactly how to use our blogging strategy along with helpful tips to start getting readers and fans to your blog.
The first step is to come up with topics that are proven to generate traffic.
I’m sure you’d agree that you should write about something you are passionate about or interested in. But this can often lead to failure.
If you want your blog to be successful, you have to frame your content so that it’s centered around your readers. The truth is that people are interested in themselves and not necessarily yours.
While you can make educated guesses, you can use tools like Ahrefs’ Keywords Explorer to find the exact keywords people are searching for in Google. This will allow you to accurately gauge popularity and make smart decisions on what you should write about.
The second step is to assess search intent.
This means the reason behind a searcher’s query. If you don’t understand why someone is searching for a specific query, then you won’t be able to get them to click on your article.
You can use a basic formula called “the 3 C’s of search intent”, which is covered in-depth.
The next step is to write a data-driven outline.
Writing out your thoughts is great, but it can also result in missing out on opportunities to get more blog traffic.
You’ll learn how to analyze other top pages that are getting lots of traffic and integrate what’s working for them into your own posts before you even start writing your draft.
The next step is to write your first draft.
You’ll learn some blogging tips you can use to write excellent posts that will keep your readers engaged. You’ll also learn a few techniques such as the Pomodoro technique which will help you write blog posts fast.
The next step is to edit your draft.
Here, you’ll be shown some free tools that will help you edit like a pro. These tools can improve accuracy, speed, and make the whole experience painless.
Best of all, one of the tools will help you keep the readability of your article perfect for your audience.
In addition to these, you’ll learn a few extra tips at Ahrefs. One of these tips has helped us build a loyal following and enables us to consistently produce our best content.

@Ahrefs Thank you for that very nice video about how to use Seo to create a blog post that people would look for. I would like to add 3 things about it. 1- First it is false to tell that "Organic search is "free": it is true that you don't pay for creating events for traffic to come on your blog but you pay for monthly charges of tools to explore keywords and competitive search. 2- It is a very different things that acquire traffic from a post and convert it into lead or fan through engagement. If Seo permits to acquire traffic, to get engagement you need to convert and so, a quality content writing is needed too. 3- Seth Godin said: "People are not searching for what they need, they search for what they desire". In other words, it is because users are driven by an emotional intent that they would read a blog post and feel engaged into it. That's also why some writers have skills in copywriting to facilitate that engagement. So Seo cannot develop until now, even using semantic search, how someone feels about when reading a blog post. So the search for the needs of users to get traffic on a post, might also be associated with a high bouncing rate. The paid search, email marketing and social search aims to find solutions to engagement of users aquired through organic search. So to the end, even if SEO factors are useful to be recognized by Google, it remains an uncomplete approach to make a perfect blog post because it just attracts users on the post and does not fullfill the true purpose of the post: to convert the user in a fan or a lead or a customer by making a call to action followed by that user or create a reputation through personal or corporate branding values from the authoritative knowledge the reader could feel that the author has.

Hi Sam,
Based on my data from Google Search Console, I noticed there are some search queries (using same or similar keywords and being searched frequently) that found their way to my blog even though I felt my content do not provide concise information.
Nonetheless, using those search queries as a reference, would it be a good idea to come up with contents targeting those keywords derived from those search queries to boost my search ranking?

Your channel is amazing. I'm hooked. So much information I didn't know was out there/I needed!
Great channel. Quality content. New sub 😊
HI sam, step 3 : when your competitor's page is getting traffic from same page on many KWs
Then why we should create sub topics around those kws?
does not it break the page authority (in term of information) because our competitors is targeting many Kws to one page having more information on a single page.
while we are breaking it into pieces after writing sub topics.
must explain this
Thank you

Are the tools you describe free on Ahrefs? I want to check my competitor's sites and see what the most popular posts are for them. Similar to youtube. Ahrefs is very expensive. Is there a program that does this at a much lower price or for free?
