Three types of content.
One powerful machine.
Every article you publish should fit into one of these three buckets. This is how authority compounds — and how you rank without begging for backlinks.
Informational Articles
Answer real questions. Target “what is”, “how to”, “best way to” keywords. These bring volume, build trust, and dominate AI Overviews. Write 3–4 of these per week.
“What is Notion AI and is it worth it?”
“How to make $500/month with digital products”
Comparison & “Best” Listicles
These rank fastest for buyer-intent keywords and earn the highest affiliate commissions. “X vs Y” and “Best tools for Z” formats dominate SERPs and convert at 3–8%.
