Follow AI Builders — Not Influencers
RT Eugene Zolotarenko 36,000+ traffic/month to Outrank website! If you've been trying to grow your startup/product/agency on google and it's been crawling... read this. SEO IS NOT DEAD. IT'S JUST BEEN MONOPOLIZED BY LAZY $100M COMPANIES WHO STOPPED TRYING And that's the biggest gift to small guys like us. Here's the ENTIRE playbook we use at Outrank to grow in the most brutal niche on the internet (seo tools, competing against ahrefs, semrush, surfer - the giants): - The strategy is literally 2 things: 1. publish blog posts + build backlinks 2. rewrite winners, delete losers (10 mins/post/week) That's it. that's what's bringing us 36,000 organic traffc/month. BUT the execution is where 99% of people lose: - KEYWORD RESEARCH (give most attention to this part): - don't go after "seo tools" or "best crm" or whatever your big keyword is. you will never rank if you're small. move on! - target keywords with KD (keyword difficulty) under 20. search volume doesn't even matter that much early on. you need SIGNALS first - the money keywords are usually 4-6 words long. "how to do X for Y without Z" type stuff. boring to everyone except the person searching. that person is your customer - steal from your competitors. put their domain in ahrefs/semrush, filter by "traffic," then filter by "KD under 15." congrats you just found 200 keywords they're ranking for that you can too - do 2 months of this in one sitting. like a madman. don't do it piecemeal. one big keyword dump, then shut up and write - or just use Outrank, it will do keyword research and you can just polish / improve it. - CONTENT (the part everyone overthinks): - match intent. if the keyword is "how to delete instagram account" and you write 3000 words about instagram history, you're done. look at the top 3 results, see what format they are (listicle? guide? comparison?), then do that format but better. - don't write for google anymore. write for chatgpt, claude, perplexity, gemini. they all cite page...
google searches for "burnout" are at an all-time high 😱 we have collectively decided that's just what building looks like and we're still calling it the price of ambition the grind is real, I'm not here to tell you otherwise building a startup requires it, you can't escape it I have 5 products, a fully remote team across multiple countries and every day I have at least 3 fires to stop - some days it's 10 🤯 and somewhere in the back of your head, you're also watching AI companies swallow up entire categories overnight, wondering if your product is next that's the deal you sign when you decide to build but nobody talks about the real cost - burn out, anxiety and other countless mental health issues and most founders hide their stress from the people around them - even from their own co-founders we've made suffering the default setting and we wear it like a badge I refuse to do so 🤷🏻 today I watched my kid navigate an obstacle course in the trees - fully focused, figuring it out step by step, no help needed nothing better than seeing your kid achieving little big things 😍 that moment didn't fix anything on my to-do list, but it reminded me what i'm actually building for that's my way of staying sane 😇 you need to find yours
