I bought Julia McCoy's SEO content writing course in September of 2018, I had zero subscribers,
zero traffic, zero everything, I was basically starting at square one, but I knew I wanted
to use google and writing to provide really valuable authoritative content to my audience
in order to generate business. Julia McCoy has always said that SEO is a long game, but
it is worth it and so, I wanted to give it a try. So, I bought her course in September
2018 and for about three months straight, I took all of her guidance in structuring
my blog posts and writing content that would really serve my audience and for those first
three months, it was a little hard, because I had to try and just write the best that
I could and just hope that this would work. But within those three months, I got my first
couple organic subscribers and that was really exciting, because I didn't have to do anything
to get those subscribers and even better, someone actually booked a call with me, because
they wanted to do a partnership now, not only did they want to book a call because they
wanted my business, they wanted to partner and I was blown away, because he had found
my content through Buzzsumo, which is a content discovery platform. So, I knew at that point
that I was onto something really cool, so I ended up using Julia's tactics and strategies
to make sure that my blog posts were really written well for google, but also for my audience
and fast forward, just a few more months after that, right when google started actually,
you know finding my content and throwing it in the rankings, I started to see traffic
that would actually float, the traffic that I didn't have to do anything for.
So, I would get, I went from zero users a month to like 50 users a month which was great,
because I didn't have to do anything to get those users and it was actually around this
time that I decided to take a break, I wanted to focus on other areas of my business, I
didn't want to blog so much, so I started blogging maybe once or twice a month instead
of every week, but my traffic continued to climb and I ended up going to; I guess a few
months after that, over 500 users to my site per month and people were finding me, I was
getting maybe 5 to 10 subscribers a month without me doing anything and the cool thing
was I was just tracking this all along, because I wasn't actually doing anything to try and
get those leads or those subscribers or visitors, they were just kind of happening naturally.
So, that's when I knew I need to keep doing this, so even though I took some time off,
my traffic continued to climb and I will say as of today, August 2020, I am now getting
over, I want to say six, I�m getting, last month I think I got 9,000 people to my website
last month and I hit my peak in May of 2020, I ended up getting I think it was 600 visitors
to my site in just one day, but that wasn't even the best part right, obviously I was
getting subscribers, now I�m getting maybe 30 to 40 subscribers a month which is awesome,
but the best part is that I am an online course reviewer, so I write content on how to help
you get your course looking really good, I am ranking number one in google for the key
phrase how to greet your students online and right now everyone is online right now, so
I just couldn't believe that I would ever rank number one on anything.
So, all of this is to say that if you're thinking of investing in Julia�s course, you need
to, because it really is something that pays off, if you follow what she says, if you listen
to her guidance, if you structure your blog post the way that she says, if you do your
keyword research and she makes it really easy, because I've always struggled with keyword
research, she makes it really easy to do, you have your system, publish valuable content
and people will find you, you just have to do it the way Julia says she has been doing
it for years, she knows what she's talking about and you would do yourself an extreme
disservice by not listening to her, even her free stuff is amazing, so you know that her
courses are really-really value-packed. So, if you're on the fence, if you're thinking
about it, take me as an example, I�ve gotten results, I love it, I�m going to continue
implementing everything that she's taught me for the long term, because why stop at
just one phrase getting ranked number one in google, might as well keep going, so definitely
if you're thinking about it, just do it, it'll really pay off in the long term.
