Hi Reader, Last week I shared how to identify your 20% tasks. Those High Impact Tasks that actually move the needle in your blogging business. But here’s the thing… Identifying your 20% is only half the battle. Because knowing what matters most doesn’t automatically mean it gets done. And this is where a lot of bloggers get stuck. They know what they should be focusing on… But their time never quite seems to align with their priorities. So today I want to show you the next step. How to...

Hi Reader, Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support for my new website. I’ve been genuinely bowled over by all your lovely emails and kind words. (Missed the full announcement? You can read it HERE!) I'm also super excited to see that TSHP is already ranking on Google!!! I mean, ok… I'm only ranking for 76 keywords. And yes… they’re mostly sitting around position 34 😄 But still. After just one week? I’ll take that. (And it’s a nice little reminder that SEO is not dead yet 😉)...

Hi Reader, So… I’ve been keeping a big secret from you… I’m starting a new blog! But his new blog is going to be quite different from Productive Blogging and Easy Peasy Foodie… Not least because this one is more of a passion project. I will monetize it, but monetization is not the main motivation for this new blog. (I know that probably doesn’t make a whole lot of sense right now, but it will make so much sense when I reveal the niche and the full back story!) It’s actually something I have...

Hi Reader, Want to know a secret? The best SEO advice is really boring. I mean REALLY boring. But it works! Good SEO is not a bunch of exciting tricks and hacks. It’s not about some secret magical formula that no-one else has discovered. It’s actually about doing the boring, foundational things really well. The SEO advice that actually works in 2026 comes down to a handful of core principles that most people overlook – but Google absolutely doesn’t: Pick keywords you can actually rank for...

Hi Reader, This year’s Blogging Income Survey highlighted just how important SEO still is – even in 2026 AND how much more effective it is than AEO/GEO and social media at increasing your blogging income. But maybe you’ve tried SEO. You’ve read the blog posts, watched the tutorials, followed all the “rules”, maybe even had an SEO audit. …and yet? Your traffic hasn’t really grown Your posts aren’t ranking And it all feels a bit… frustrating If that sounds familiar, I want to be very clear:...

Hi Reader, If you’ve heard whispers that “SEO is dead”… You’re definitely not alone. Between AI Overviews, generative AI, some pretty brutal Google updates over the last couple of years, and a whole bunch of old SEO tactics just not working anymore… …it’s no wonder so many bloggers are asking: “Is SEO still worth it in 2026?” So let’s clear this up... Yes – a LOT of what used to work HAS stopped working. Things like: Rehashing what’s already ranking Stuffing your posts with every “related...

This email contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may get a commission. Hi Reader, The “vibes” are lying to you! Ok, ok, let’s back up… I’ve been blogging for 11 years, and over that time I have noticed a strong phenomenon – so much of blogging is about “vibes”. One minute everyone is doing SEO… and then the next minute SEO is out of fashion and everyone is losing their minds over AEO / GEO. One minute Mediavine is the greatest thing since sliced bread, the...
