“Creating a video from start to finish is a more draining process for me than publishing a long-form written piece.”

TOTALLY AGREE!

I have postponed creating videos because I feel I don’t have enough knowledge and have no budget for professional editors. I will begin with the resources and skills I have right now.

Let’s share experiences in the next weeks!

Gracias amigo!

Thanks for the support, Pablo! And really awesome to hear that YOUR work is paying off, I’m super honored to have played a small role in helping you get there—you’re the one that put in the real work. That’s awesome.

YouTube—yes, absolutely! I plan to keep publishing more videos that go side-by-side with my long-form written content (as I have the time and energy to do it), though I find that creating a video from start to finish is a more draining process for me than publishing a long-form written piece, so I tend to spend most of my time on the blog content first. There’s definitely a benefit to be had by putting out great, useful YouTube videos that go along with your content though… I think it’s a very worthwhile investment, especially if you enjoy doing video!

Thanks for another awesome report. I have been able to obtain my first commissions following your advice. It feels AMAZING to receive those email notifications 😉

I see you recently created a new YouTube video. Do you have any plans for your YouTube channel? What is your opinion between blog posts vs videos for content creators?

Thanks and keep it up!

Yeah, that’s extremely impressive for results within just your first 5-6 months! Especially since most of your traffic is from organic Google search… those are very quick results. Well done, keep up the great work!

is this good?

You’re welcome, Aditi 🙂

Hey Walid! As of right now, 22 Million people have come to my blog since I started out about six and a half years ago. Over half of those readers have been within the last two years though, so the pace is picking up a lot and about 75-80% of my traffic is pretty consistently from Google 🙂

Thanks for the kind words! Long and detailed have always been helpful for my site (and the content topics I cover), but I do think it pays off to start with publishing something shorter first if it’s easier for you to get that out… and then committing yourself to returning & making that content more in-depth over the coming weeks, months, years. I’d also recommend pursuing a mixture of long-tail and competitive search terms, because over the longer-term, you’ll want to eventually compete on the bigger search terms, they’ll just take more time to start ranking for.
