And when we say more traffic, it also means more money for the business! 
For today’s podcast episode, I had a chat with Nicholas Jordan who will reveal how he strategically grew a site’s traffic to 1.5M hits per month!  
Nicholas has grown 4 projects from 0 to 100,000+ organics/month. The largest grew from 0 to 1,5000,000 organics/month without building backlinks or technical BS. This project helped his client go from seed stage to a $210m series B valuation led by A16 and grew his agency from 1 to 45 writers and editors in a two-year period.
Nicholas and I have addressed several topics such as Nicholas’ SEO strategy to grow a site to 1.5M organics per month. How much content they were creating per month to get to that point?  How they structured that content (what it looked like) to be able to actually rank and get traffic without ANY paid link building?
We also talked about hiring the best writers and its process. What do you need in place before hiring people? 
Finally, Nicholas shared the training process and how to promote the writers to editors and teach the new writers.
