🌳 Content Pruning – the What/Why/How

If the organic traffic to your site from Google or any search engine has plateaued even if you keep adding more content, it means Google thinks you have a lot of irrelevant content. Having thousands of pages in your site might actually be harmful to the search rankings. 

Follow this step-by-step guide to fix your posts.

  1. Gather data. Identify all the posts you have, title, published date, backlinks, etc.
  2. Setup a criteria list. Have different criteria for your preferred metric.

đź“ą How to promote your youtube videos when you have zero subscribers

Having 0 subscribers to your Youtube channel doesn’t mean you can’t get any views.

  • 3 images – 8:9 for left side and 16:9 and 16:9 for right side

đź’˛ Tip: Convert more users to an annual plan.

After a user has been using your software for a few months, you can prompt them to switch to an annual subscription plan. If they have been getting value out of your product and they can save a significant amount by switching to annual, it’s a no-brainer to do so. 

You might have to experiment a bit to identify on which month you can send the email. I would suggest starting at 4-6 months in their monthly subscription.
