Last week I sent an email about my TOP ITEMS to order now for Thanksgiving. If you missed it, you can read it HERE! (It's a good one!) Today, I wanted to talk about planning your Thanksgiving MENU. Once all the items are ordered (see previous email), the next most important thing is to PLAN your menu! It's never too early to plan the food. I believe there are TWO types of Thanksgiving hosts in this world. Those who always make the same things every SINGLE year. And those risk trying new...
Happy November! I can't believe It's Novemeber already!! 🍂 I posted a poll recently on my Instagram story asking how many of you are hosting Thanksgiving this year and 46% are (that they know of so far!) So if you are hosting OR helping a family member or friend host, I am here to help! It can be VERY overwhelming but 100% manageable (and even a little fun) if you PLAN AHEAD! I know 4 weeks seems far away but it will be here before you know it. Over the coming weeks I will be sharing recipes,...
Hi there Happy Friday! It's officially November! Yay!! Let the influx of holiday traffic be fruitful!! :) In case you missed my previous emails, you can catch them all HERE. I wanted to pop in here and show you the keyword rankings for my baked ziti post so far. (I am a little over 2 months in.) If that is hard to see, click HERE So at this stage, I recommend going through the current rankings to see: 1. If the top ranking keywords are MATCHING user itent. (If not, it's okay to tweak your...
Hi there! Sorry I have been MIA a bit, the hurricane put a bit of a damper in the last 2 weeks. I hope no one was badly affected! In case you missed my previous emails, you can catch them all HERE. Thanks to those who responded to my questions about a next course. Most of you said a mini ChatGPT/AI course would be great so that's the route I'm going to take! I will keep you all updated on the progress in the coming weeks but plan to have it finished before the end of the year! Here is a quick...
Hi there! In case you missed my previous emails, you can catch them all HERE. Here's another over-the-shoulder peek at an old post I am trying to decide what to do with. It's seasonal so I have about 5 weeks to take action! I also kill two birds with this one since I pitched this recipe idea as a sponsored post that I'll get paid for so even if this keyword doesn't rank, at least I got something out of it. (Trying to work smarter, not harder!) 😬 This one is about 10 minutes long but gives you...
Hi there! Last week, I shared some insights on using Keysearch to research Baked Ziti. If you missed that email, you can read it HERE! Today is short and sweet! I just wanted to briefly go over how I would use Keysearch's new domain authority filter options to find some keywords worthwhile. It really is a cool feature and one that I am so glad was included! If you can't see that video, you can watch it externally HERE. I hope that was helpful some! -Aleka Coupon Codes: Link Whisper: Use my...
Hi there! I heard back from so many of you with MOSTLY positive results after that core update last month! That's SO awesome to hear, ESPECIALLY before the holiday season. Last week, I shared Keysearch's new Deep Dive feature. If you missed that email, you can read it HERE! Today I am sharing a brief overview of how I chose the keywords for my recent baked ziti recipe using Keysearch's filter. Check it out below! If this doesn't play, click HERE. You need to be as efficient as possible when...
Hi there! I waited 2 weeks to ask and can't wait any longer...how is your traffic doing after that core update?!?!? 🫣 I've heard either an increase has happened or not much of a change. I hope an increase!!! (Hit reply and lmk!!) Today I wanted to share a new feature that Keysearch released called "Deep Dive". Have you seen it? If not, here is a quick video! If this doesn't play, click HERE. It is nice to see them focusing on DA a bit more because I know, although it's NOT a ranking factor,...
Happy Hump Day! Last week I discussed a few things about Microsoft's free tool Clarity (with a y). HERE is a link to my past emails in case you missed them. Today I wanted to share another awesome feature it provides. It involves round ups! Wouldn't it be nice to quickly see WHICH links in your round up are actually being clicked on and which are NOT? I sure think so.. Click here if this video is not working. Also, I wanted to share a "hands-on" LIVE workshop that Christina and Corinne are...
