I am a Doctor and had no interest in writing, blogging, and tech stuff ever. But it all changed in 2013 when with a baby in tow, I started reading blogs in 2013.
But it was a year later when I decided I no longer wanted to be just an audience or reader, but a creator. I had something I could share with the World wide web and make it better.
There I said it. Sounds a tad narcissistic, but I believe each of us has something unique to share to make this world a little better. If I had Google growing up, I would have become a Doctor, Lawyer, MBA, a farmer all rolled in one. It’s not too late either, there’s still time.
It’s a whole new world of learning and this access to resources makes this as easy or as difficult as the language you know. English language in that way can help surmount many barriers to learning.
Now before I ramble, I wanted to talk about this thing called keywords. If you are a long-time blogger you obviously know all about it. But in my mompreneur Blogging journey series, I talk about all things which make my blogging writing and online earning life easier.
Yoast and SEMrush are together now! Finding your related keywords just got easier. I love that SEO is reaching new levels.Yoast has made Schema mark-up easier. Now they are helping us find related keywords from within the WordPress dashboard.
What do you need ?
The Yoast plugin on your WordPress Blog.
A Yoast accounts
SEMrush account .
The free version is good enough for one related keyword. But if you want more related keywords you need Yoast premium. But even with a paid Yoast and free SEMrush you are restricted to only 10 related keywords. But that’s a good way to start because SEMrush is quite amazing.
When it comes to keywords I try to weave in as many keywords interspersed with questions as possible. It’s not easy to write according to a list of keywords. It can feel restrictive.But when you are starting out if you don’t get into the groove of finding keywords for your content, things can be a little difficult.The thing about Keywords (Absolutely)No one tells you.
