I try to outsource whenever I can so that I can have a lifestyle I enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nick\u2019s Main Marketing Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Publishing regularly, maintaining a YouTube channel, and working with link building agencies have been key to my growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>A strategy I came up with that I\u2019m quite proud of is to visit a company\u2019s factory to make a video on their products.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a free ad for the brand, and I just ask for a post on their company\u2019s blog about the video with a link back to my site.&nbsp;This is how I get links in really high-value domains coming back to my site, which is terrific for boosting my authority with Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try to post to YouTube twice a week and post an article three times a week. Updating old content is just as valuable as publishing new content, so I try to do that once or twice a week as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example of a brand I\u2019ve done the video strategy for is Carmina, a well-known but somewhat reclusive Spanish brand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How Carmina Makes the Best Luxury Chelsea Boot (Spain Trip!)\" width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JsnqE2X2Bus?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I visited their factory on a European trip, made two videos there, and got a very valuable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carminashoemaker.com\/blog\/posts\/32\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> on their blog. No other blogger has pulled that off.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I consider Stridewise to be an SEO brand; it\u2019s everything. I use Ahrefs and competitors for content ideas, and I invest a lot in link building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO is my main strategy for traffic and has been from the beginning. My background is in SEO rather than social media branding.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keyword Research and Link Building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I pay for Ahrefs to help with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/keyword-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">keywords<\/a> and content ideas. Screaming Frog SEO Spider is also a helpful website for optimizing my site's SEO, along with optimizing page speed, for which I have a freelance coder on retainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mostly use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/ahrefs-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ahrefs<\/a> to check the search volume for terms, articles, and videos I\u2019m considering to see if it\u2019s worth publishing, and also to help create an \u201cFAQ\u201d block and to know which headings and sections to include articles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/high-quality-backlinks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link building<\/a> is super important. I have two agencies with different strengths building links for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nick\u2019s Content Creation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to following keyword suggestions from the aforementioned tools, I try to do a few videos\/articles per month that are just fun, like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/stridewise.com\/boot-myths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">15 mistakes I\u2019ve made reviewing boots<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201cThe meanest comments I\u2019ve received,\u201d stuff with no search value but it\u2019s engaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because I actually like my niche, a lot of my ideas just come to me. I also like to socialize at meetups in New York City, and I meet interesting characters there sometimes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, I just met a guy last week with 50 leather jackets and I thought it\u2019d be fun to do a video on how he built his collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His Email List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I do have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an email list<\/a> but I don\u2019t focus on it as much as I should.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a pop-up that gives the reader an exclusive PDF on 11 ways to save money on boots.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter your email, and get the guide!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also considering other strategies, like a quiz for \u201cWhat boot are you?\u201d and they enter their email to get the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His Favorite Resources and Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Unemployable Podcast is one I listen to, and when it comes to tools, I can\u2019t live without my link building agencies, Ahrefs, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/google-analytics-for-blogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Analytics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nick\u2019s Biggest Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Competitors!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started, I had zero, and now I have one who has made a habit of plagiarizing my content and poaching my writers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s insanely frustrating and has made me have to work more than I\u2019d like.
