find winning products to dropship

1. The Product

Cat Product

This week’s winning product is this super cool toy for cats I have found on Facebook. It popped up on my feed while I was working, and I just couldn’t ignore it.

As a cat owner myself, I’m a sucker for cute cat toys and I tend to spoil my cats a bit more than the average cat person – So it wasn’t that hard to grab my attention.

And after seeing the ad and the amazing job the original seller did, I just had to recommend it for you to sell as well.

This product can be a crazy winner if you play your cards right, so don’t sit out on this product and start selling it right now!

2. The Ad

The original ad that popped up on my feed has pretty good engagement and it looks like people are genuinely interested in this product.

As for the ad itself, I see no issues there as they have it all – Text descriptions, nice music, a call-to-action text, and the first 3-4 seconds of the video are interesting enough to get people to stop and engage with the ad.

If you’re going to sell this product, then take inspiration from this ad to increase your selling chances.

But that’s not all…

The engagement on this ad isn’t “crazy” so I decided to see if there’s more to it that what eye sees.

And so, I decided to take a look at their ad library:

ad library facebook cat product

It looks like this product is doing well for them and each day they’re adding more new ads.

ad library cat product

They have ads that run since July and new ads that were added in the same day of writing this article.

They do use the same thumbnail for each of their videos, but each video starts differently.

From videos where they show a bored cat to guilt trip cat owners

To videos where they start right away with a happy cat playing with this toy.

I absolutely LOVE what they have done here as it’s very important to refresh your creatives to get more people to notice your ad. The thumbnails could’ve been different as well, but this isn’t Youtube so it’s not that of a big issue.

Ad copy:

The ad copies are pretty well done with different variations used depending on the first 3-5 seconds of the video.

You have 2 lines explaining about the product, a bit of scarcity text, and a promotion on the current deal they run. As I already said, job well done and nothing to fix here as well.

3. The Store

cat product store

Now this is where it gets a bit more interesting…

When I first saw this store, I was sure this is a one-product store which sells only this cat Cordion toy scratcher. But it looks like there’s another product they’re selling which is a cat brush.

So I guess at first this was a one-product store for a cat brush or this scratch toy, but eventually they just added one more product and decided to brand it all under the same name.

And I got to say, this is a pretty good idea!

Instead of focusing entirely on a single product, they are re-branding each product under the same name, doing it really well, and this turns the vibes of this store from a regular general store to look like it’s a real brand.

If you ever thought about opening a one-product store but didn’t want to invest that much on each product, then just do the same as these sellers right here and it should get you the same results.

Ok back to the product.

The first thing you see is the quantity discounts bundle on this product:

I have to admit that this is probably one of the better looking bundles I have seen in a long time. It’s pretty big so you can’t miss it and the design is quite inviting and I bet it is working pretty well for them.

The quantity discounts is a really good call because there are a lot of people out there owning more than one cat so they’ll probably need more than one toy.

That’s extra money in your pocket and you should do it too.

Product description:

cat product description on Shopify

The description for this product is PERFECT – You have GIFs, pictures, and even a FAQ section about the product. The original sellers know exactly what they’re doing here and sales must be flowing in!

shipping refund policy

And of course, you also have the shipping and refund policy which are really well written.

Product reviews:

cat product reviews

And last but not least, the perfect review section which has it all – From high quality review photos on to an understandable English and not some gibberish auto-translated text.

This is how a review section should look like so do exactly the same on your stores when selling this product or any other.

4. The Checkout

Checkout page

We have here the standard Shopify 3-page checkout with the first one being the customer information page. As you can see in the picture above, they didn’t forget to upload their logo on the checkout page as well so it’s a pretty good start.

On top of that, the Phone number field is OPTIONAL which means people don’t have to add their phone number in order to proceed with the checkout process.

I absolutely love this because some people hate giving their phone numbers because of spam and other reasons. This definitely increases the conversion rate!

Shipping page:

shipping page

Nothing unusual with their shipping page… Both options are trackable and the paid option costs on an extra $2 which is for insurance. It’s a pretty small sum so I think a good percentage of customers might actually take it.

That’s extra $2 in your pocket – Good for them!

Payment page:

payment page

My only problem with the payment page is the tipping section. I know it’s $0 by default, but I do think some customers might find it a bit annoying.

Tipping should be asked when it’s a handmade product(or at least a product that looks like it was handmade)… When it comes to products like this cat toy, I don’t think there’s need to be any mention about tipping.

But who knows… Maybe customers are so happy about this product they’re willing to leave a tip. Worth the test I guess.

To Sum It Up

If you’re looking for the perfect winning product to sell this Christmas, then this is definitely the one. And if you’re not sure how your ad & store should look like, then you have the perfect example right here.

This product can make some serious bank for you this Christmas so don’t sit out on this and start selling it right now!

If you have questions, feel free to ask me in the comments.

Good Luck!

Best Dropshipping Platform: Shopify v.s Amazon

0

The demand to know which dropshipping platform is best is growing as more and more people are interested in making money online by starting their own dropshipping business.

There are lots of great platforms out there, but each one has their own advantages and disadvantages.

To ease up your dropshipping journey,

This article covers the differences between Shopify and Amazon.

Let’s dive right in!

Table of contents:

About dropshipping with Amazon

To start dropshipping on amazon all you have to do is to get a seller account. Once your account is approved by amazon you can start selling on one of the biggest marketplace in the world.

Sounds good right?

Only that we haven’t gone through amazon’s drop shipping policy. 

In order to dropship on amazon you must follow their own set of rules, otherwise amazon can restrict you from selling. 

amazon's policy

Another important thing to mention is that when dropshipping on amazon you want to use their FBA program (fulfilled by amazon).

That way you’re letting amazon take care of your orders, returns, customer service, tracking and more.

But it is not free! So keep that in mind.  

Besides that, there is one alternative way of dropshipping with amazon you might want to consider. That is, dropshipping from amazon.

Meaning that you’re listing a product on a different site such as shopify, but you’re buying the product from amazon. That leaves amazon do all the hard work for you, like shipping the product straight to the customer.

About dropshipping with Shopify

Shopify is a hosted ecommerce platform that allows you to open an online store while offering all the tools you can think of. As well as dropshipping and marketing tools.

Their goal is to make creating and managing an online business easy and beginner friendly. 

Including drop shipping businesses.

Selling on Shopify requires you to create an account, design your website and to take care of promoting your business. 

One of the best aspects of dropshipping with Shopify is their large variety of dropshipping apps and suppliers.

Cost

Amazon

Setting up a seller account on amazon comes in two options:

  • Individual– this plan costs $0.99 per item that is sold. Meaning you pay individually for each item. That is instead of paying a monthly subscription fee. With this plan you’re limited to selling only 40 items each month. On top of that you also don’t have access to amazon’s advertising nor advanced selling tools.
  • Professional– this subscription plan costs $39.99/month. Here you are not limited to a number of items or amazon’s tools. You also have access to all of their features such as: API integration, advertising, setting your own shipping fees, and more.

Now let’s talk about fees,

amazon's fees

Amazon’s fees can be divided into 3 categories:

  • Referral fees– these fees are applied after each sale and their worth varies depending on the product type. The minimal referral fee is for most cases $0.30 and the referral fee percentage is usually between 8% and 15% , but can get up to 45%. 
  • Fulfillment fees– these fees are in other words – shipment fees. And it depends on whether you want to ship the products yourself or use fulfillment by amazon (FBA) to handle it for you. FBA services include: packing & shipping your orders, customer service, and product returns.

If choosing to ship the products yourself, you will not be charged excluding certain products:

amazon's fees

If choosing FBA the fees are per unit based on the size and weight of your product.  

There are also storage fees using FBA so you want to avoid having excess inventory for a long period of time. 

  • Additional fees– FBA and inventory fees fall into this category, as well as high volume listing fees, and refund administration fee. 

Shopify

Shopify’s fees are much more straightforward in comparison. 

There are the monthly fees “aka” subscription fees

  • Basic Shopify: $29
  • Regular Shopify: $79
  • Advanced Shopify: $299
  • Shopify Plus (enterprise): starting at $2000
shopify price

Each of these plans has many ecommerce tools and versatility at managing your store.

You are offered off the bat with features such as: customizable templates, abandoned cart recovery, SSL certificate, gift cards and more. 

Shopify also ffers a free 14-day trial for any one of these plans.

And then there are transaction and credit card fees. 

The cost of these fees change depending on what payment gateways you’re using, and what is your Shopify plan.

 The more expensive the plan is, the lower are the credit fees. 

shopify fees

Note that Shopify has their own payment solution: Shopify payments.

With shopify payments you’re not paying additional transaction fees that you would have been paying if using third-party payment gateways.

With third- party payment gateways, you’re charged per transaction about 2.9% + 30 cent –  And an additional fee for 0.5% – 2% (depending on the Shopify Plan).

Shopify payments start at 2.9% + 30 cent per transaction.

Control

Amazon

The main thing that makes amazon easier to use as an online store, is that they are in control of almost everything.

And that can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you’re looking for.

With amazon you don’t need to worry about building a website, since you’re selling on their website. But that is also they’re main downfall. 

 You have no control over what your store looks like, and you cannot personalize it to your own niche. You’re also being limited in other areas such as branding, marketing, and advertising. 

In addition, everything you sell in your store will be under amazon’s design and not your own. There are a very minimal amount of templates available, but still all in the same “amazon” way.

As a result, customers are more likely to recognize the products they’re buying as amazon’s products rather than your own.

So if you care about branding and want customers to recognize your store, amazon would not be the best option for you.

Shopify

Once you’re Running a business with Shopify, you are the boss.

In contrast to amazon, with shopify you have a lot more control over the experience of your store.  

You have control over many aspects of your store all from shopify’s dashboard, such as templates and themes, apps, and a variety of tools, all for your service.

Don’t forget that the look of your store tells a lot about you and your brand, so customizing the look of your store is especially important in attracting the right customers for your store.

And there’s really a lot of flexibility around it – all thanks to shopify’s theme editor.  

And if the templates are not to your liking, you can even design your store by changing the HTML, CSS code, and javascript of your layout. Although not everyone acquires those skills. 

Aside from having control over the aesthetics of your website, you are also in control of how you want to sell and advertise your products, and much much more.

Traffic

Amazon

There’s no arguing that amazon is the better choice for sellers that don’t want to bother with attracting customers.

Like mentioned before, amazon is a marketplace, and a big one. With hundreds of thousands of visits every single day traffic is constant. 

But still, there’s no guarantee of generating sales. You still need to put a lot of work in making customers buy your products especially since amazon is a highly competitive platform.

And don’t forget that you are also competing with amazon itself:

  • Amazon is also selling their own products.
  • Amazon can use your sales data. Meaning that they see which products are selling best. This can allow them to get involved in the same product niche, making competition even harder.  

Shopify

You may have the most beautiful eye-catching website and have put in the hours to brand your business. And still, without working on your marketing, no one will know about your store’s existence. 

That is the major difference between amazon and shopify.

In order to make sales, you must learn how to advertise your store and products.

That includes: multichannel marketing on platforms like facebook and instagram, email campaigns, SEO marketing, and content marketing.

And before you say “ but I don’t know how to do any of these things”.

Shopify has many apps and tools to help you out. For example, shopify has a built in blogging tool, so you can write and upload blogs to your website – which is a great way to attract more people to your store.

The good thing is that once you get customers to trust you and your store, you’ll have enough return customers.

And then you won’t need to invest as much on advertising.

Pros & Cons

Take a quick look at the sum up of the pros and cons of Shopify vs Amazon in the image below.

pros and cons amazon v.s shopify

Conclusion

Let’s first cover the main difference between Shopify and Amazon:

Shopify offers you to build your own online store while amazon is an online store.

In other words, with shopify you’re selling products in your own shop, while with amazon you’re selling a product in their shop. 

And that is the main thing you should be considering when deciding which one is right for you. 

Dropshipping with amazon means you don’t have to worry about branding, web design or advertising. 

But it also comes with a lot more competition, and the ways in making your products stand out from others are limited. 

Shopify is great for dropshippers that want the most control over their store. With shopify you have access to so many apps, tools and customization options. You can turn your business to be exactly how you want it, and have much more freedom. 

But that puts you in complete charge of the success rate of your business. 

If you don’t want to choose one way or the other – you don’t have to!

You can list products on amazon from your shopify store!

That way you still get the freedom and control of having your own online store while also getting a lot more traffic from listing on amazon’s marketplace.

You can integrate your amazon account to shopify by using the amazon fulfillment app from the shopify app store.

For Community Chats, Facebook and Messenger take a cue from Discord.

0

Facebook is making it easier for group organizers to build curated live Messenger chat groups.

It is called Community Chats, and it lets you browse chats sorted by announcements, themes, events, and more to communicate with group members in ways other than feed posts and comments, reported The Verge.

The new Community Chats are similar to a more casual version of professional community platforms such as Slack, Teams, and Zoom’s planned Team Chat.

With the ability to support audio channels with up to 30 group members and turn on cameras, the conversations can go beyond simple text-based communication. Participants can present or broadcast what they are doing.

Group admins will have various tools to administer the community, including auto-moderation capabilities to boot members who submit group-violating content. In addition, admins can manually block, mute, suspend, and remove member messages.

Common Email Marketing Fixes

0

Here are 10 common email marketing mistakes and how to fix them, according to an article at CMSWIRE.

1. Do not allow simple spelling, grammar, and other formatting mistakes to creep into your copy, and ensure the information is accurate. Make sure images or links are not broken. Check a test email to see how it looks.

2. While personalization can be helpful when sending emails in bulk, make sure there are no missing data for some of your contacts on your list, as it can lead to blanks in the copy.

3. Send emails that can be replied to instead of using no-reply emails. Replies can give you valuable information.

4. Use a responsive email design customized to the user’s device and make sure the emails are mobile-friendly.

5. Test the best times to send emails, as it can boost engagement rates.

6. According to the article, marketers should A/B test their automated campaigns. For example, you can test copy images, the time it takes to trigger an email, and the behavior that triggers an email.

7. Test if the timing of automated email triggers such as abandoned carts gets in the way of natural return – customers that would return to your website anyway without the push.

8. Send your welcome email immediately after signup or purchase.

9. Make sure not to send your email in the wrong language.

10. Optimize emails for dark mode as around 14% of emails are opened in dark mode, according to email on Acid.

Digital Ad Revenues Fell in Q1, Companies are Anxious

0

Google and Meta have maintained a consistent lead in digital ad revenues globally, ahead of Amazon, Twitter, and Snapchat, according to data from Insider Intelligence/eMarketer.

However, Meta and Google suffered revenue declines of several billion dollars in the first quarter of this year.

Insider Intelligence/eMarketer

Growth was strong last year across all companies analyzed, but it significantly decreased in the first quarter.

According to the report, Snapchat’s financial growth during the epidemic led to a hiring frenzy. Still, the firm’s lower ad income resulted in parent company Snap axing 20% of its staff earlier this week. Like other internet businesses, Snap is now attempting to increase revenue without jeopardizing its primary offering.

Instagram, TikTok, Testing a New Repost Feature Similar to Twitter’s Retweet

0

The social network Instagram revealed to TechCrunch that it is working to implement a feature that would allow users to repost the posts and reels of other Instagram users.

Although the Meta-owned firm has not publicly announced the repost feature, it hopes to begin testing it with select users soon.

“We’re exploring the ability to reshare posts in Feed — similar to how you can reshare in Stories — so people can share what resonates with them, and so original creators are credited for their work. We plan to test this soon with a small number of people,” a spokesperson from Meta told TechCrunch.

The notion of social media reposts is thought to have originated with Twitter’s Retweet feature, which has since been adopted by other platforms. TikTok has been testing its own version of Twitter’s retweet, according to the report, with the addition of a new “Repost” button that allows users to amplify videos on the platform by sharing them with their followers, which coincides with Instagram’s plans for a repost function.

However, unlike a Twitter retweet, TikTok reposted videos do not appear on your TikTok profile because they are only sent to your friends’ For You feeds.

Nearly 65% of Internet Merchants are pulling ads.

0

Nearly two thirds of eCommerce companies are removing their products from advertising, according to the recently released Feed Marketing Report by DataFeedWatch by Cart.com.

DataFeedWatch’s data comes form the analysis of over 15 thousand online stores across 60+ countries.

Due to market price sensitivity and ongoing product shortages, roughly 65% of eCommerce enterprises are decreasing the size of their advertised product catalogs. Although some industries have recovered from persistent supply availability issues, many are still fighting to maintain stock levels.

In response to rising inflation, retailers are providing discounts on 26.49% of all marketed goods. The Fashion category leads with 37%, followed by the Health & Beauty and Furniture sectors, each with around 33% discounted inventory.

“Most retailers continue to lean on the search-based [over 90% of merchants] and social channels [54%] as the foundation of their online presence.” said Jacques van der Wilt, General Manager Feed Marketing at Cart.com.

“However, with the looming recession and declining performance on meta channels like Facebook or Instagram, we expect the affiliate channels to grow in popularity,” he added.

So you can decide which one is more suited for your needs.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

About Dropshipping With Ebay 

While Ebay got some bad reputation over the years, since their dropshipping policy restriction in 2019. It still can be a good place to start your dropshipping business. 

With ebay being the second biggest ecommerce platform in the world, with about 159 million active buyers. It is not something to be overlooked.

Dropshipping with ebay means you’re purchasing items from a wholesaler or supplier, and resell it through ebay.

You can also set up your own ebay store, but of course, all within ebay’s website

But before you start, you must take into consideration ebay’s policies:

  • Only fulfilling orders from a wholesale supplier is allowed
  • Guaranteed delivery time within 30 days
  • Ensuring the item is delivered is your responsibility 
  • The buyer’s satisfaction with the product is your responsibility 

Not following these guidelines could result in your account being suspended.

All you have to do to start dropshipping is to build your own online store, and make sure to get buyers by advertising. 

Building your website with shopify is quick and easy. With a bunch of features and customization, management and shipping tools that offer you control over your business.

Cost

  • Basic Shopify: $29
  • Regular Shopify: $79
  • Advanced Shopify: $299
  • Shopify plus (enterprise): $2000

Including: inventory locations, sales channels, Abandoned cart recovery and more. 

On top of the monthly costs, there are also transaction and credit card fees.

shopify plans fees

The cost of these fees change depending on what payment gateways your’re using, and what is your Shopify plan.

Shopify has their own payment solution: Shopify payments.

With shopify payments you’re not paying additional transaction fees that you would have been paying if using third-party payment gateways.

With third- party payment gateways, you’re charged per transaction about 2.9% + 30 cent –  And an additional fee for 0.5% – 2% (depending on the Shopify Plan). Shopify payments start at 2.9% + 30 cent per transaction.

shopify payments

Ebay

Ebay’s seller fees are divided into 3 main categories:

  • Insertion fees
  • Final value fees
  • Store fees 

Insertion fees are charged with each listing. Each month you can get up to 200 listings for free, after that each listing costs $0.35. 

Final value fees are charged after each sale. For most products, Ebay takes 10% of the total value of the sale. Other products that fall into different categories, have different value fees.

Such products can be: sneakers, jewelry, books, guitars and so on.

Store fees vary depending on the plan you choose. And are only relevant if you’re interested in setting up your own ebay store.

Each plan fees offers a certain amount of free listings per month and are elaborated below: 

ebay fees plan

Everything you need to know about Ebay’s fees are available on their website. In addition, you can also use Ebay’s fee calculator to calculate final value fee and profit.

Traffic 

shopify

Managing a dropshipping business on Shopify means that it is your job to drive traffic to your own website. And at first, it will require time and effort to do so successfully.

But once you do, you’re building a community of customers that will build trust in you and your store. Hence, making sure they’ll always come back. That way you’re retaining your customers and keep selling more.

First, to get customers to visit your store you need to invest in advertising your website. And that can be tricky and sometimes expensive. But, doing it the right way and not giving up can really pay off in the long run.

keep in mind that once you have enough return customers you won’t need to invest as much on advertising.

Ebay

As of 2022 ebay has about 187 million users worldwide. 

With it being such a big market place, with millions of active buyers, driving traffic to get sales is less of a problem and there’s no need for investing money on advertising. 

But, it also means there’s only so much traffic that you can get. In order to get a large amount of traffic you need to build brand loyalty, along with a relationship with your customers.

The problem is that in order to build trust buyers first need to recognize your store. Which rarely happens when purchasing products on ebay.

The reason for that is that customers think of ebay as the seller instead of your store. They usually don’t even pay attention.

Not retaining your customers means less traffic to your store, Resulting with lower profits.

Easy Of Use

Shopify 

Shopify is very easy to use –

Once you get the hang of it.

It can take some time to learn how to use it, especially for complete beginners.

But it doesn’t take very long to settle in and gets a lot easier over time.

What makes shopify easy to use?

  1. Clean and simple interface 
  2. Easy to customize 
  3. Easy to set up and manage
  4. 24/7 customer support
  5. Drag and drop tool
  6. Templates 
  7. Order are managed automatically 
  8. No need to have prior knowledge with coding or web designing. 

The main drawback is that dropshipping with Shopify does require experience with advertising as well as analytics.

In other words, it requires more knowledge, effort and patience.

Ebay

Dropshipping with ebay couldn’t be more simple. 

Really all you need to do is to open an account, create a listing and you’re off to go.

There’s no need in any prior knowledge for you to start selling,

and no need to worry about web design, templates or third party apps.

Ebay even has a DSM tool –  

It is a free dropshipping software that offers product sourcing, price & stock monitoring, SEO optimization and orders automation. 

DSM tool

And more features such as:

  • Schedule products when to go live
  • Title optimization using keyword recommendations
  • Monitoring products for price changes and stock levels. 
  • Auto-order feature for processing orders.  

Really anyone can set up an ebay store, no excuses!

The Risk

Shopify

When you first open a store on shopify there’s a lot of investments to be made. It starts with the subscription plans, the transaction fees and the advertising.

And still, doing all those things does not guarantee sales.

There are a lot of things that need to go into consideration to make a successful dropshipping business. 

With that being said there is a potential to not make enough profit, resulting in losing money.  

However with it being risky it also means that there’s a higher chance of making really big profits long term.

In that case, it is worth the risk as long as you’re being smart about it.

Ebay

Dropshipping with ebay is very low risk, but always keep in mind that with a lower risk the long term growth potential decreases. 

Furthermore, starting to sell on ebay costs close to nothing. So – there’s not a lot to lose if you’re just starting out and want to test the ground. 

But like was mentioned before, it is way harder to make a good amount of sales.

For one, ebay is a highly competitive marketplace, which lowers the chance of buyers finding your store. Or if they do find your store, then buying your products when there’s already the same exact one on a different store.

With that being the case, it can be very difficult to stand out from hundreds of other stores or sellers. 

And if you’re trying to keep the prices lower to stand out, you’re risking your business not being profitable enough.

Pros and cons

Take a quick look at the sum up of the pros and cons of Shopify vs eBay in the table below.

pros and cons

Conclusion

We covered all the major topics regarding the advantages and disadvantages of dropshipping with Shopify vs Ebay.

Let’s recap – 

Shopify offers almost everything for your dropshipping business to take off.

While it is a riskier investment, the possibility of making a high income online store and long term growth is higher. 

It is a good option for serious sellers that are interested in building their own branded store, to grow their business and that are willing to put in the time and effort into making it a successful one. 

Ebay is the low risk, easy to set up, affordable option. There’s no need to worry about traffic, design or branding. 

On the other hand, the profit growth potential is much lower meaning it’s much harder to make a significant income. 

Dropshipping on ebay is recommended for sellers that want to start dropshipping as a side hustle or that just want to try out dropshipping without much of a commitment. 

If you don’t have a big budget, or want something that is quick and easy to manage just to make some extra sales. Ebay is a good place to start. 

If you’re still pondering,

I recommend testing some products with ebay. Once you’re ready to go you can transfer your products directly to Shopify and start managing your store from there.

And if you’re still hesitating you can first link your ebay store to your shopify store and manage them both simultaneously.  

Best of luck!

Google to Ban Ads that Lead to Pages that Contain Intrusive Advertising

0

Google Ads is adopting a new policy mandating that landing pages adhere to “better ads standards” as outlined by the Coalition For Better Ads.

Google sent an email stating the new policy: “In October 2022, the Destination requirements policy will be updated to include a new policy requiring ad experiences on destinations to conform to the Coalition for Better Ads’ Better Ads Standards. Destinations containing ad experiences that don’t conform to the Better Ads Standards will be informed via the Ad Experience Report, and any ads that lead to such destinations will be disapproved.”

Google’s destination criteria policy, if an advertisement directs users to a page that does not meet the better ad standards, it will not approve the advertisement.

Google will begin enforcing the rule change in October.

These ad standards mean not using pop-up ads, auto-playing video ads with sound, large sticky ads that remain on the webpage when the user scrolls, and prestitial countdown ads that appear before the content of the page loads.

How to Optimize Blog Posts with Keywords

0

If your content has a high Google ranking, you will receive steady traffic over time.

According to Ahrefs blog, there are three main ways to target keywords on articles on your website.

Find keywords that people are actively searching for by using a keyword tool. For example, if you use Ahref’s Keyword Explorer, you will want to find High Traffic Potential (TP), which estimates how much traffic you could get if you ranked number one for a specific keyword. The second measure is Low in Keyword Difficulty (KD), meaning how difficult it is to rank in the top 10 organic search results for that topic.

Try to discover search intent by looking at the current top-ranking pages for your keyword. According to the article, this can be divided into content type, format, and angle.

You do not want to fill your blog with too many keywords since that method no longer works, but you must demonstrate that your content is valuable. Also, make your writing simple and understandable. For example, use short paragraphs. Use keywords in your title and URLs.
