I've been using Facebook for years.
One thing that has been consistent is unless you spend money on ads, it's hard to grow.
But that doesn't mean all hope is lost.
There is still a way to grow without ads. It's how I did it.
Here are the exact 6 steps you need to follow (step 5 is optional):

I'm hoping you have an Instagram account...
If you don't, you should create one and follow the user name neilpatel ;)
Now, what you'll find is that you can get more engagement on Instagram than Facebook.
But... it is harder to drive sales or revenue.
And I know that you may not sell any products, and that is ok. Because you can always leverage affiliate marketing.
This is what I want you to do.
Once you do it will fix the fact that your Instagram account doesn't generate you any revenue.
So now when you spend time on social media, you can finally say it is productive. :)

If everyone did a Google search for the same keyword and clicked on the 2nd result instead of the 1st result, what do you think would happen?
Google would move the 2nd result to the first spot because users are "telling" Google it is more relevant.
See, Google uses "user metrics". Things like clicks are more important than which site has built more links.
So how do you get more clicks when you rank lower than your competition?
This is how. :)
Make the change, it shouldn't take you more than 9 minutes. It is a great way to start off the New Year!

Happy holidays!
This year I've been doing things a little bit differently.
Because my recording studio has been closed for most of the year, I've been creating courses... tons of courses.
My latest one teaches you how to go from 0 to 200,000 Facebook followers.
I've only published the first lesson, but over the next 2 weeks it will all be live. :)
If you have some spare time during the holidays, check out all my free courses. You can learn social media marketing, SEO, content marketing... and even niche topics like local SEO.
Stay safe and have a happy holiday!

Can you guess how many new posts I write for a week?
1.
Can you guess how many articles my team updates each week?
21.
My team spends 21x the effort that I do to update content.
Why? Because Google prefers ranking fresh content.

PS: Here’s how you beat Google by optimizing for user metrics.
Have you noticed that as your traffic starts climbing you don't really see the revenue coming in?
You get all these visitors but most of them don't ever turn into a lead or sale or even an ad click.
So what do you do?
Well, I used to be exactly where you were. And don't worry all hope is not lost.
Here's the key to monetizing your traffic.
Best of all you can do it without ruining your user experience. :)

SEO starts with keywords.
If you go after the right keywords you will do well.
But if you go after the wrong keywords, you may get traffic, but you won't get any sales.
So how do you make sure you find the right keywords?
Here's a simple hack I use. It allows me to find the right keywords in under a minute.
Best of all it also breaks down what keywords are doing well for your competition.

Neil Patel
PS: Here's how to generate millions of visitors like Wikipedia.
PPS: Why you shouldn't use exact match domains.
Over the last few months I started monetizing NeilPatel.com through affiliate marketing.
And so far it hasn't been too bad. Here's what I generated in the last 7 days.
Total comes out to $11,608.92 in the last 7 days. Which is roughly $1500 a day.
I know it's not a ton, but again I've only been doing it for 3 or so months.
And mainly through pages like this.
So the question I have for you is, would you like me to share my income numbers on a monthly basis and break down what I'm doing to generate the affiliate revenue?
Just let me know by replying to this emails with a "yes" or a "no".

Hopefully by now you have heard of Google's Page Experience algorithm.
They said it is only going to be for your mobile rankings, but I bet it will eventually roll over to your desktop rankings.
Either way, here's a tool (and a tutorial) you can use to beat it.
Hopefully it helps you like it has helped me.
Cheers,
Neil Patel
PS: Here's how many links you actually need to rank.
PPS: Here's a new type of content that is generating me 100,000 visitors.
Over the years social media engagement has dropped.
Even if you have a million followers, you barely get the reach and likes compared to what you used to get.
But there is a solution that no one really uses.
It's simple and when you do it, your reach grows... even if you barely have any followers.
So before the year ends, I want you to do it. It's simple and doesn't take more than 10 minutes.
Best of luck!

Neil Patel
