My February 2024 Recap: Goals, Blog Traffic, Clients $$$...

My February 2024 recap.

Hello everybody, your favorite SEO, Simon Zaku here. And for this blog update, I want to do something a little different.

I want to give you guys a behind-the-scenes of what I've been working on; my 2024 goals, objectives, and dreams for this year.

2023 was a pretty much slow year for me. I didn't go after my dreams, I was facing a lot of difficulties. I was going through school and other personal stuff. I had to take a break from work.

I took a break from simonzaku.com for more than a year :(

From 2022 to 2023, I barely put in any effort to grow my brand, growing my clientele, my traffic, or even hosting a website. So most of the time, this very website, simonzaku.com was down.

Now for 2024, I set SMART goals I want to achieve.

1. I want to help three to five startups, digital agencies, B2B websites, and SaaS grow and get customers by attracting them.

2. Secondly, I want to create more than enough quality content around the SEO, blogging, and content marketing niche, and take my very blog to one of the best blogs to go to for SEO and content marketing tips on the Internet.

3. My longtime goal is to travel to my dream country, Dubai, for the 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year.

How did I perform over the past three, or four years in business?

I made a lot of mistakes. I was barely consistent. Starting simonzaku.com, I didn't have or follow any blueprint, I didn't have a plan, and as a result, I made a lot of mistakes.

I was not creating consistent blog content.

I did not research or target keywords. I did not have any content calendar.

I didn't even put out enough content.

The highest I ever had since 2019 on this website was around 12 to 15 blog posts (over 4 years).

What has changed in 2024?

This year, I am coming really heavy!

No excuses, no 'reasons', or stories!!

Just work, planning, execution, and most importantly, results!!!

This month alone, I have published 6 blog resources!

I have around 40 published blog posts published at the time of writing. This month (February 2024), I published 6 posts - my highest ever.

There was never a time I had this much content on my website.

I'm glad because my traffic is growing. And that is what search engine optimization (SEO) is all about.

I want SaaS startups to know that search engine optimization (SEO) is not a quick game.

Here is the blockbuster:

Watch me grow this website/blog from zero to 10,000 organic traffic every month.

No excuses or 'reasons'. I will implement effective SEO, SEM, and Content Marketing strategies and share every result here.

Secondly, in 2024, I have gone strong on Pinterest.

Pinterest is one of the fastest-growing search engine/social media platforms. I've been always saying I want to, I want to. Now, I will!

My game plan for this target?

FOCUS!

Focus on growing an audience, especially.

This means, instead of checking or expecting results now and then, (checking Google Analytics, search console, or analytics) to see whether you've performed.

My unique business and SEO approach?

You're just starting, do not expect quick results from search engine optimization.

What will be new here?

I'll update this website on my traffic, income, organic search traffic, and social media growth monthly.

This will allow me to carry you all together on this very journey to growing my website and blog to 10,000 organic visitors every month.

I've made a list of several SEO keywords I'll be posting content around.

And I'll be posting a lot of content, possibly one to two posts every week.

What's another exciting thing I'm working on for 2024

MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL!

Another thing I'm doing to achieve my goals this year and reach my target is I starting a YouTube channel for my blog.

This is something I'm super, super proud of because I've been saying I want to start a YouTube channel, but never did.

I now have my YouTube channel called SimonWrites Marketing, and I've even posted a couple of videos with more in my draft (all scheduled to be published).

I'll also be publishing lots of free stuff in my blog forum.
