SEO Tools Made Me Famous?

Greetings, fellow SEOpreneurs!

I am in a good mood today. Why? I went viral! lol

I'm thrilled to share my experience of going viral on LinkedIn by posting about the best free websites for SEO! The post garnered 1500 likes and 300 comments, which proves the significance of free tools for boosting performance.

If you’ve been putting work into growing your social media presence, there’s nothing more exhilarating than having something you created go viral. It’s like skydiving for entrepreneurs.

I put a lot of work into using LinkedIn carousels to offer people free info. (Follow me on LinkedIn if you want to get even more awesome free info. Here’s the link to my viral post if you want to check it out)

So let’s dive deeper into this post so you get the full story and not just the viral part.

I want to stress the significance of using free websites for as long as possible in today's newsletter when doing SEO. Many people jump straight into paid sites and tools, which can quickly lead to costs skyrocketing. Unless you’re making millions already, it's crucial to learn how to do things for free first, and then you can invest in paid software and tools when necessary.

I'll discuss the top free SEO websites in this newsletter, including Evernote, Hootsuite, Google Analytics, and Grammarly. These websites can help you get started without spending a dime, allowing you to keep your costs low and save money.

Use Free For As Long As Possible

Using free websites for SEO is crucial for businesses of all sizes, whether you're just starting or you're an established company. Free websites can help you save money and time, allowing you to focus on creating quality content and building your online presence.

Many people think that SEO is all about getting the right keywords in the right place, but it's much more than that. It's about creating quality content that your audience wants to read and share. Free websites can help you with keyword research, content creation, and social media management, all of which are essential for SEO.

Tons of SEO businesses (and other businesses) fail because they don't take advantage of the free websites available to them. They jump straight into paid sites and tools, which can quickly lead to costs skyrocketing. You need to learn how to do things yourself and save money by using free websites for as long as possible.

Learning how to do things for free is essential first, and then you can invest in paid software and tools when necessary. You can keep your costs down and save money by using free websites for as long as possible.

There are tons of free websites out there to use. The top ones from this list for SEO are Evernote, Hootsuite, Google Analytics, and Grammarly. These websites can help you get started without spending a dime, allowing you to keep your costs low and save money.

For SEO, Use These Free Websites

Let’s dive into the SEO portion of that viral LinkedIn post for all you SEOpreneurs out there. Use these free SEO tools for as long as you can. Once you start paying for subscriptions, the costs add up quickly, so you better be bringing in some cash or else you’ll flame out before you even begin.

Plus, it’s good to get a free base of knowledge with all this stuff before you (potentially) waste money on products you may not need.

By the way, send me a message on LinkedIn before you make an SEO software purchase, and I will tell you whether it’s worth the investment. Chances are good that I have bought what you’re thinking about buying!

Evernote

Evernote is a cloud-based note-taking and organizational tool that allows users to capture and store various types of content, including text notes, web pages, images, and audio recordings, in a centralized location accessible from multiple devices.

• Keep track of research notes, keywords, and ideas for content creation

• Collaborate with team members to access and contribute to a shared repository of content ideas, outlines, and drafts

• Track content performance and SEO metrics using tags and other organizational tools

Evernote can help streamline content creation and optimization processes, improve collaboration, and stay organized and focused on goals.

I like Evernote a lot. There are so many great ideas out there, and keeping track of them all is impossible. You can use Evernote to capture and organize your thoughts and ideas easily. Anything is better than staring at a blank page!

Hootsuite

Hootsuite is a social media management platform that allows users to manage multiple social media accounts from a single dashboard. It offers a range of features for scheduling, publishing, and analyzing social media content, as well as monitoring brand mentions and engaging with followers.

• Schedule social media posts: Hootsuite allows users to schedule social media posts in advance, which can help ensure consistent posting and save time.

• Monitor brand mentions: By setting up streams to monitor brand mentions, writers and marketers can stay informed about what people are saying about their brand or topics related to their industry.

• Analyze social media performance: Hootsuite offers basic analytics features for tracking social media performance, such as engagement rates, follower growth, and post reach.

• Collaborate with team members: Hootsuite allows team members to collaborate on social media management, with the ability to assign tasks, share content, and track progress.

Hootsuite can be a useful tool for SEO writers and companies to manage their social media presence and engage with their audience effectively. While the free version has some limitations, it can still provide valuable features for those on a budget or just starting with social media management.

If you have to post on social media a bunch (like most SEO writers and companies do), you’ll want to do it in bulk. Take an afternoon, smash out as many posts as possible, and then schedule them to be posted with Hootsuite. This will make your life 1000x easier.

Google Analytics

You're missing out if you are in SEO and haven’t used Google Analytics for free yet. This should be the first step in SEO.

Google Analytics is a free web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. It allows website owners and marketers to gain insights into how users interact with their website, where they are coming from, and what actions they take on the site.

For SEO writers and companies, Google Analytics can be used in the following ways for free:

• Monitor website traffic: Google Analytics provides detailed information about website traffic, including the number of visitors, pages per session, and bounce rate.

• Track user behaviour: By setting up goals and event tracking, writers and marketers can monitor user behaviour on the website and track important actions, such as form submissions, clicks on specific buttons, and time spent on the site.

• Analyze traffic sources: Google Analytics can show where website traffic is coming from, including organic search, social media, referral links, and paid advertising.

• Identify top-performing content: By analyzing page views, bounce rate, and other metrics, writers and marketers can identify top-performing content on the website and use this information to inform future content strategies.

Even basic use can provide valuable insights for improving website performance and achieving SEO goals.

Google Analytics is the basis for tracking your website’s data. Basically, it shows you how you’re doing and where you need to improve. Learn how to read the data first, and then you can upgrade to something like Ahrefs or Moz.

Grammarly

Grammarly is awesome. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who writes anything.

One of my biggest pet peeves is spelling and grammar mistakes. And in the world of SEO, what you say and how you say it is the whole ballgame.

If Google and your readers can’t understand what you’re trying to say, then you ain’t gonna get them clicks, followers, likes, comments, purchases, or anything else.

Get the free version to start, but you might as well pay for the upgrade for this one. Mistake-free writing gives you WAY more credibility with your readers. It shows them you care enough to make your content as easy to read for them as possible.

Remember: Free Is Always Better

Using free websites for SEO is crucial for businesses of all sizes. By taking advantage of the free websites available to you, you can save money, learn how to do things yourself and build a strong online presence.

Remember to use free websites for as long as possible and only move on to paid websites and tools when necessary or when you start making money.
