002: How Ranking For A Single Keyword Could Add $100,000 To Your Bottom Line With Nick Eubanks

Nick Eubanks says he never planned to make any money from blogging. His blog had just 47 posts when one particular rant started gaining traction. Because Nick is an SEO expert, he noticed the traffic boost and worked it – and worked it some more. And almost without trying, he created a commercially viable property that sold for $100,000. Not bad for a site that wasn’t built as a money maker.

On today’s episode, Nick talks about the importance of search intent, the psychology of SEO, and the SEO mistake he sees even highly experienced marketers making, again and again. He also shares a 3-step formula for creating a site that will sell based on SEO, as well as how you need to incorporate low-volume searches throughout your modern marketing funnel.

Because Nick is an SEO guru, I grilled him on the tools he uses – and how he uses them – to boost his own sites and his clients’ sites in the rankings. You’ll hear why he prefers some tools to others, and what information he considers when crafting an SEO strategy. You’ll find lots of actionable information here, and plenty of tips you can put to use on your own site right away. See you on the Inside!
