What are the SEO benefits and limitations of having a one page website? These are some of the questions we'll explore in this episode as we take an in-depth look at one page websites from an SEO perspective and discuss the pros, cons, and SEO best practices of one page websites.

In this episode, I'll be joined by my wife, Raksha Shenoy, who recently started her own venture — Nummy Makhana, a startup that aims at promoting guilt-free and healthy snacking. 

If you've been a listener of this podcast, you'll remember Raksha from some of the older episodes. The idea behind this episode is to question entrepreneurs about their existing business model.

Raksha has her unique perspective on building a socially conscious brand and in this episode, she tells us what it means to be a socially conscious startup and how you can move in this direction.

Do you run a digital marketing agency or offer SEO services to your clients? Then I highly recommended that you have a set of questions to evaluate the clients you choose to work with.

But why is this important? Why should you ask questions? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Having an SEO questionnaire is important because this information will reveal to you whether the new business coming your way is right for you and also provide you with crucial insights that can help you craft a better strategy for your clients.

Since starting my digital marketing agency, Startup Cafe Digital, in 2015, I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes. The SEO work that I did with them increased their search visibility and improved conversions.

And the 20 questions that I'm going to share in this episode helped me gain a deeper understanding of their business, industry, and most importantly, their expectations with SEO.

Tune in to find out the 20 most critical questions to ask your SEO clients before they get on board.

Affiliate marketing has been a huge source of passive income for me ever since I started blogging in 2015. It's because of affiliate marketing that I generate a steady side income of over $10,000 a month. So I wanted to do an episode on affiliate marketing, where I wanted to share some of the things I've learned so far. Then I realized a few months back I did an interview with Jules Dan for his podcast, Storytelling Secrets. In that episode, I shared my experience with affiliate marketing, the mistakes I committed while starting out, and shared a few actionable tips and tricks for affiliate marketing beginners.

So I thought it'd be a great idea to publish my full interview with Jules Dan for this episode. (with his permission of course)

This interview you're about to hear is from episode 46 of Storytelling Secrets. In this interview, I share everything I know about affiliate marketing. So if you'd like to dabble in affiliate marketing and would like to learn the secrets that will allow you to earn a steady stream of passive income each month, this episode is for you.

Here are a few things this episode covers:

I hope you find the episode useful.

I want you to picture this scenario: You've just published a great blog post. It's doing well on social media, your subscribers are loving it, and you've optimized it to make sure it ranks well on Google.

If you’ve done all of these things, then your recently published blog post will generate enough traction and traffic.

So what do you do after you're done publishing and promoting the post? Do you immediately start working on a new article? But you can't just leave the old post behind? After all, it's one of the best articles you've published on your site.

Now you can do one of two things: you can wait for your article to slowly start ranking higher in search results. But that's in the long run and you'll need to spend some time generating relevant backlinks for the article.

Or, you can simply repurpose your content and reach a whole new audience for your awesome blog post. Repurposing content is the practice of finding new ways to recycle your blog posts or any piece of content to amplify their reach.

In this episode, I'll reveal 12 effective ways to repurpose your content.

Back in October 2020, Google released a "home movie" on their YouTube channel to show how Google search works. It's a 58-minute documentary that goes into detail about how Google search works and offers an insight into what goes on behind the scenes at Google. 

SEOs around the world have been raving about Google's home movie, so last week, I decided to check it out. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the movie and my key takeaways and help you decide whether it's worth watching this hour-long documentary by Google.
