11 Ways to Find Blog Content Ideas [Very Easy] in 2020

Every one of us wants to continue writing blogs on our website but one day or another, or even every time, we fall short of topics on what to write about.

(Don’t lie, you also get short of it. Don’t you?)

Well, after reading this post, you won’t get short of topics, unless you are procrastinating. Sorry, it was a reality check and some humor.

So, here I’m to tell you 11 ways to find blog content ideas and use your knowledge in the right direction and at the right time to write high-quality blog posts to ensure that you get great traffic on your blog.

Let’s dive right in.

1. Amazon

Don’t get shocked reading the heading as “Amazon” because yes, Amazon serves the treasure to find proven blog content ideas.

No, don’t worry, I am not asking you to purchase a heavy bunch of books at once spending your hard-earned money.

If you are an avid reader, buying e-books and extracting the content from there is the best but if you want to write your knowledge out, you just have to follow three easy (easiest) steps:

Step 1: Go to the Amazon shopping app or Kindle store and search the keyword for the niche you are writing about. May it be SEO, Content writing, Blogging, and whatsoever.
Step 2: Check the most popular books that came with the search. By most popular, I suggest you check the author’s name, book’s rating, comments, and such things.
Step 3: Jump to the table of contents section of the book. I must say, the content section is the goldmine for the ideas for blogging. Just by seeing the contents of some of the books, you already have enough ideas to write a money-making blog post on a proven topic.

This is one of the easiest and free (that most of us want) way to find the ideas for your blog.

Pro Tip: Amazon only shows the books which are currently popular and thus this will lead the traffic on your site as you would write on the current and in-demand topic.

Okay, thank me later. First, go to Amazon.

Quora Search Results

2. Quora

You and I both know that Quora is a question and answer platform.

And, now you would be confused about how it will help you find the content ideas.

Well, what am I here for?

I’ll tell you.

See, we find ideas only when we think people have questions. On our blog, we basically give answers to the questions of millions of people.

So, before finding the content ideas, we need to find questions. Quora is here to help you with this. Isn’t it so wonderful that there are already questions that people want answers for?

I know, you might haven’t thought that way. 

Now, let me tell you what you need to do to find content ideas through “Quora”

Search the seed keyword for which you want to write. (Same as amazon. I must say this is the basic thing.)
Now, with searching the keyword, there are already innumerable questions on your screen. This will make you realize what people actually need and what you can provide.
Now, analyze the questions as well as the answers. This will automatically fill your mind with a bunch of blog content ideas to write high-quality blog posts for your blog.

So, this is how it works. Try it. You won’t resist coming back and thanking me. And I’ll take it.

3. Reddit

Reddit is the treasure which is I guess yet to be explored by you because if you must have explored it, you would have never been short of topics.

So, what do you need to do?

Of course, you’ll need to do something!

Go to the Reddit website or the app.
Search for the keyword, you want to write about.

And, and, and….

You’ll be amazed to see the screen in front of you. Yes, it’ll be just innumerable questions and topics in front of you that you would be thinking how can I miss these things out of my mind.

This is the treasure indeed, and now just go and take your share out of the treasure.

4. YouTube Videos

Now, here’s another way from my pool of knowledge – YouTube videos.

Of course, you don’t need to watch trending songs and stuff like that.

You just have to go to YouTube and search for what the niche you are writing is watching there.
Then, watch the videos that are getting more views as compared to others and see what are the topics you haven’t covered in your blog before.

Now, Indeed, the videos that are going to appear when you’ll search for something, will be what is most popular and engaging at that particular time and is going to bring a lot of traffic on your website.

YouTube is the source of so many ideas that you’ll never fall short of the content ideas for your blog.

5. Keyword Researching

Well, this way is what is related to the Google search engine. This is like going deep into the cave and taking out the diamonds that are needed.

Yeah, when you go into the cave of Google search engine and research about the keywords that you are writing about, you’ll find a lot of ideas from there.

This is one of the most effective methods of finding content ideas because this is where everyone goes in the first place when they need something. 

Here, you’ll find what your readers want to read and you’ll be able to write on those very topics.

6. Pinterest

I love Pinterest because it helps me a lot to grow my blog, network, and business. By using Pinterest I drive massive traffic to my blog and I get tons of content ideas, business ideas, and new business strategies from Pinterest. – Inu Etc

Pinterest is really useful in growing your blog as most of the people remain active there. You must have known this already if you are a blogger that knows how much traffic one can drive to their blog from Pinterest alone.

So, just head up there fast and search for what you need to write about. No matter, if your blog is about Lifestyle or Digital Marketing, Writing, or Anything else. You’ll find the related topics there.

Don’t make any delays, just head up there, now.

7. Related Blogs

It is rightly said that a good writer must be a good reader, and if you are a good reader, you’ll find this option so easy and beneficial. 

So, just invest your good time reading the blogs of other bloggers who are writing for the same niche as you.

But, then how will it be beneficial?

For this, you need to know what else you need to do while reading?

You need to keep your eyes and mind open to analyze what is missing in their blog.
You’ll get to know what is actually there that needs to be written in your blog post.

This will fill your mind about what and how a particular topic can be written and elaborated in your own blog posts. 

It was one of the blogging tips from my own pool of knowledge. So, use it carefully, okay.

And, don’t worry, you can thank me later, as I already said!

8. Udemy – Online Courses Site to Find Proven Blog Content Ideas

You must have heard about the website Udemy.

If not, let me tell you. This is an online course site where those people land who want to learn something.

And, this is the same as what you provide. Isn’t it?

Well, if yes, then cheers.

Here’s another way to get the blog content ideas for your blog.

Then, what do you need to do?

So, just jump to the website and look at the details as to what the courses provide, and instantly you’ll find a bunch of proven topics to write about on your website.

So, just head up there right now!

Feedback and Comment Section of Your Blog

9. Feedback and Comment Section of Your Blog

Feedback and comment sections of your blog or your competitor’s blogs are the great resources to find out what people need.

Isn’t it so good that you don’t have to ask for what people need and there’s already the place where people have said what they require?

So, just go to the feedback you’ve received earlier, and comment sections of your blog or check out related videos and blogs and analyze it properly and I’m pretty sure you’ll find hundreds of blog content ideas to write helpful and engaging blog posts for your readers.

10. Answer The Public

Answer the Public is a website that has raw search insights. This is one of the easiest ways in which you can get a pool of questions as to what people are searching for.

This tool provides what customers are thinking about.

All you have to do is just go to the website and search for the keyword or any word you want to write about and within a few seconds, the innumerable questions will appear on your screen.

I must say, the screen that will appear will leave you in thoughts as to why you didn’t think of these topics.

So, what are you waiting for?

Just head up there right now!

Write Related Posts

11. Write Related Posts

Now, what does this mean?

Let me explain to you what you need to do.

Whenever you get short of the topics, just go to your archives and see what people want from the previous posts that you haven’t provided. You may be shocked but people really wait for the answers and confusion they have regarding something. 

So, just head up to your archives, and also reading the previous blogs will make you know what is missing and what can be written next.

Email Marketing Must-Haves and 10 Platforms to Get You the Results You’re Looking For

Does your email marketing strategy include these must-have items? If not, it might be time for a refresh. 

For companies of all sizes, email is a staple when it comes to marketing efforts. It’s something that everyone has to do and it continues to be an extremely effective way to reach your customers. 

But are you making the most out of your email marketing efforts? Or do you find you’re spending hours crafting, designing, and sending emails with lackluster results? 

It’s easy to get stuck in the status quo when it comes to your email marketing efforts. You might start to feel like you’re doing the same tedious task over and over again — but it doesn’t have to be that way. 

In this article, we’ll talk about two different ways to break the mold of the everyday email marketing process. 

First, we’ll talk about a few different email marketing must-haves. While you’re likely already doing many of these, hopefully, a few will help inspire you on ways to improve your current process.

Then, we’ll provide you with 10 different email automation platforms that can help you improve your current process and rid your day of the boring, mundane email-related tasks. Partnering with the right automation platform will allow you to do more with your time and provide your customers with the best brand experience possible.

Email Marketing Must-Haves For Successful Companies

When it comes to email marketing, there are hundreds of tips and best practices to follow out there. There are so many different opinions out there that it can get confusing on what you should and shouldn’t do with your emails. 

That’s why we decided to outline a few must-haves for email marketing. Each of these must-haves is something you can easily implement (if you haven’t already) and will help improve your current email marketing success. 

So let’s dive in and start talking about the must-haves you need in your email marketing! 

Set Goals to Measure Success

The first thing you must have on our list should be determined well before you send your first email or develop a new campaign. 

Setting goals early on in your email marketing journey is important, but you’ll also want to do it before the development of any big campaign. 

You need to ask yourself things like: 

What am I trying to gain from this campaign? 
Will I measure a successful campaign by the number of lead, sales, or simply engagement? 
Am I looking for ways to reach new customers or is the primary audience of existing customers? 

Taking time to think through questions like this will allow you to identify how you need to approach your audience. If your end goal is to reach new customers, you’re not going to want to spend time developing retention messaging.

While it varies from company to company, many have similar goals and priorities for their email marketing strategy. From increasing revenue and leads to improving nurturing efforts — you need to set and understand the goals of your messages. Image courtesy of Smart Insights.

 

Many companies set goals for an entire year and work to build email campaigns that help them achieve these higher-level goals. If this is the case for your company, the goal-setting process should include understanding how each email or campaign helps meet the end goal. 

Here are just a few business goals you can achieve through email marketing: 

Build brand awareness 
Identify opportunities to upsell or cross-sell products
Gather customer reviews and feedback
Announce new product launches
Encourage customers to return to an abandoned shopping cart

Without setting goals, you won’t have a way to gauge the true success of your campaign. That’s why you need to sit down and figure out exactly what you’re hoping to get out of your email marketing plan. 

An Email Automation Platform to Make it Easier

Investing in an email automation platform can help make reaching your goals a little more achievable. 

If you’re tired of putting hours into creating emails, finding the right contacts, and knowing exactly what content to send to them — then you need email automation. Using a platform, such as the ones discussed below, will help automate and simplify your email marketing process. 

From having the ability to schedule emails to automate workflows and content based on customer interests and behaviors, you’ll start to see metrics like never before. On top of that, you’ll have more time to focus on other marketing tactics and implement new strategies. 

The benefits of using email automation are practically endless, but here are a few things you can expect to see: 

Automate your emails and limit the amount of manual intervention needed
Easily create workflows to nurture leads and move them through their purchasing journey
Increase brand awareness with frequent communication
Improve personalization through data collection and understanding
Put your focus on other tasks while saving time and money in the process
Have detailed monthly reporting to know exactly how your campaigns are performing

Marketing automation can help you improve your current process across the board. You’ll have the ability to track customer data from your website and integrate that into your email marketing efforts to improve the customer experience across all platforms. Image courtesy of Cetrix Cloud Services.

Email automation is a very powerful tool that can help take your current email efforts to the next level, and beyond. 

But if you’re still not quite sold, here are a few key automation stats from G2 you’ll want to know: 

Businesses that implement marketing automation experience an average of 451% increase in qualified leads
91% of marketers feel that automation is very important to the success of their marketing campaigns
The use of lead nurturing through marketing automation saw 15-20% of potential buyers that were not ready to purchase converted to sales
4 of 5 successful marketers credit marketing automation as a key contributor to their success

All of these details are why it’s so important to take time to identify the right email automation partner for your business needs. But don’t worry, later in this article, we’ll make sure to provide you with 10 platforms to consider when it comes time to invest in a platform.

A Growing Subscriber List to Reach More Customers

To continue to be successful in your email marketing efforts, you need a growing subscriber list. While it is true that the majority of your sales do come from existing customers, you can’t just ignore potential opportunities out there. 

In fact, improving subscriber lists is often one of the top priorities for companies in all industries. 

Many companies are moving towards building subscriber lists that provide higher quality and result in converting more leads. If you’re not focusing on continuously growing and im[roving your current list, you’ll never have the opportunity to see these results. Image courtesy of Campaign Monitor.

One of the main reasons to grow your list is because there will always be a portion of your current subscriber list who have become inactive and may no longer be worth marketing to. Without continuing to target new customers and add additional subscribers to your current list, you’d quickly see your numbers decrease month over month. 

But there are plenty of other reasons why you should be putting an effort into growing your subscriber list, including: 

Direct contact with potential clients that you can work to nurture and convert
Having the ability to segment subscribers as they join your list means you can make every contact more meaningful 
Increase sales by targeting new clients and increase your ROI
Turning new subscribers into brand evangelists and they will become even more valuable 

While many people like to believe that email marketing is losing its luster, we’re here to tell you it’s still one of the most effective ways to engage with your customers. By focusing on email over other marketing strategies, you’ll see improved metrics from open rates to conversions.  

You might be wondering why you should be spending more time growing your email subscriber list than focusing on other channels? Because email continuously generates higher ROI than all other marketing strategies. On top of that, your emails are 5x more likely to be seen in an email than on Facebook. 

Personalized Content to Increase Engagement

In today’s email marketing world, personalization has become a must-have. In fact, your customers now expect that the messages you send them are personalized, and they may choose to go elsewhere if that isn’t the case. 

Now, chances are good you’re already aware of the impressive stats that come along with using personalization in your email marketing efforts. 

But just in case you need a refresher, let’s take a look at a few personalization numbers that you just can’t ignore: 

71% of consumers get frustrated when a shopping experience is impersonal
36% of consumers think retailers need to do more to offer personalized experiences
80% of consumers are more likely to make a purchase from a brand that provides personalized experiences
72% of consumers say they only engage with personalized messaging

And the list goes on and on. 

Luckily, there are tons of different ways you can use personalization in your emails to better engage with your customers. From using their name to triggering emails based on their behaviors and interactions — personalization has never been easier. 

Personalization can come in many forms, from adding the customer’s name to the email to using third-party data it all makes a difference. The more granular you can get, the better your messages will be received. Image courtesy of .

If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a list of a few different ways you can pull into your current email marketing efforts: 

Use the recipient’s name
Segment your subscriber list based on behaviors
Past interactions and engagements with emails 
Previous purchase and browsing habits
General demographic information 

Taking the time to add personalization to your emails will help your company stand out from the competition and improve the customer experience. While it may seem like a daunting task at first, with the help of an email automation platform you can easily manage customer data and use it for personalization. 

A Cross Channel Marketing Strategy to Create a Seamless Experience

Cross channel marketing takes your email marketing beyond the inbox and creates a seamless experience across all platforms and channels. This can include email, SMS messages, social media, and even print marketing. 

The big thing to remember when developing a cross channel marketing strategy is the holistic customer journey. Each touchpoint should easily be integrated 

Here are a few tips to help you create the best cross channel marketing strategy possible: 

Create buyer personas: before starting out, you need to understand your customers on a more granular level. Buyer personas will allow you to identify customer preferences, behaviors, buying habits, and more. 
Use mediums that complement one another: some channels just don’t mess as well as others. Find the channels you use that work together and easily create a comprehensive experience for your customers. 


Unify your data: having all of your customer data in one location will allow you to see a holistic view of your customers. You need to know what messages are sent to what customers across all of your platforms — unified data will make this much easier.
Align with the buyer’s journey: every customer will have a different journey, and you need to account for that. When developing your strategy, make sure it aligns well with all of your buyers’ journeys. 

Cross channel marketing is a very effective way to reach your customers. While it may take some time to get everything aligned and working together, the pay off is well worth it. 

By implementing cross channel marketing efforts, you’ll quickly begin to see an increase in your monthly metrics. From increased purchase to engagement rates, the more touchpoints and channels you interact with your customers on, the better your stats will be. Image courtesy of Clickz.

Beyond purchase and engagement increases, there is a 30% higher lifetime customer value attributed to consumers shopping across multiple channels. When you consider the increase in sales, engagement, and lifetime customer value — it’s hard to ignore the lure of cross channel marketing.

Basic SEO Techniques To Boost Your Organic Traffic

Today I will provide you some best basic SEO techniques to increase your organic traffic from Google as well as I will also mention how to improve your site performance within one month.

Learning SEO is a very difficult part for newbie bloggers that is why many people waste money to buy courses, watch videos, etc.

I am not saying that watching videos or buying courses is a total waste of money or time but you will have to gain your knowledge by working on your own ideas.

What Is Basic SEO

SEO is search engine optimization that helps you improve your current business to grow or make money by getting millions of traffic from Google.

When you search on google about educational stuff or related to your problems you see a lot of blogs and websites providing information or solutions on your problems.

If you want to grow your business in the online market then you must learn basic SEO and after this, you will be able to optimize your blog to drive organic traffic to your blog.

List Of Basic SEO Techniques To Improve Organic Traffic

On-Page SEO
Off-Page SEO
Fixing Errors
Improve Website Speed
Creating Quality Content

These are the SEO techniques to improve your organic traffic and if you work on these factors you will be able to increase your performance up to 300 times.

Now, let’s move to our first factor which is very important to know why you need to learn basic or advance SEO in the digital marketing world.

On-Page SEO

Learning about basic SEO also contains some advanced knowledge on On-page SEO and it is necessary to understand how On-page SEO can improve your visibility in Google search.

There are multiple tasks that you should follow to work on On-page SEO techniques and if we talk about them here is the list of some On-page SEO techniques.

Customize Your Website Pages
Create High-Quality Content 
Optimize Your Title And Meta Description

There are a lot of other points in On-page SEO but I will only cover some decent and effective methods of On-page SEO techniques.

Customize Your Website Pages Like A Pro

There are tons of bloggers who do not have enough knowledge to customize a blog like a professional designer. 

But proper customization of your blog is important because if your website is not fully customized with navigation menus then it is hard to crawl your website by Googlebot.

Also, It’s important to SEO optimize your blog if you want to get approval from Adsense, you must customize your web pages with Elementor, Thrive Architect Plugin or you can SEO optimize your blog using one of the best WordPress themes.

It will also show how much passion you have in digital marketing and how well you have designing skills in the blogging field. 

Create High-Quality Content

Creating high-quality content is also the part of On-page SEO, many bloggers ignore it but Google doesn’t.

Giving the right and genuine information to your readers is very important for your performance and website growth.

I got many messages on Instagram where newbie bloggers say that they are not getting any traffic.

After analyzing their website I find that they do not have any quality content but they keep publishing content without adding any value.

There is no point if you are making your content 100% free from plagiarism but having zero value for users.

As I said before in my previous article a poor quality content can’t drive organic traffic or if you also promote your website without having value then it will increase your bounce rate and in the end, you will lose your current ranking.

Optimize Your Title And Meta Description

It’s the basic SEO that you need to optimize your title and meta description. It will help you to increase your website’s CTR.

CTR will improve your website user behavior and it is a signal to Google that your website is adding something unique and giving the right information to the user.

Nobody will tell you how you can improve your CTR which will help you to drive organic traffic from Google to your website.

Check out the last seven days of tests after optimizing the title and meta description.

It’s not as hard as you think to optimize your blog posts title and description. You just need to target those keywords that you see in your search console.

Off-Page SEO

In the basic factor of SEO, Off-page SEO is very important to know.

When you work on your On-page SEO then the second part of SEO is also important and can be hectic for you because when you share content on social sites it can look spammy and it takes time and patience to build quality backlinks for your blog.

There are multiple tasks that you should follow to work on Off-page SEO techniques and if we talk about them here is the list of some Off-page SEO techniques.

Creating Commenting Backlinks 
Sharing Content On Social Sites
Keyword Research
Create Quality Backlinks

Are Commenting Backlinks Still Makes an Impact?

When we talk about commenting backlinks it means we left a link into the comment box when we try to make no-follow backlinks.

No-follow backlinks still have importance in the eyes of Google and if you are creating 100 backlinks then it is necessary to have up to 30 no-follow backlinks, the rest of the 70 should be do-follow backlinks.

Sharing Content On Social Sites

When you publish your content there is no auto-sharing option to tell people you have something unique to learn.

You have to share your content with other people and when you interact with people using your genuine content they will be your loyal audience.

You can share your content on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and Twitter. Also, forum websites such as Quora, Reddit are best to share your ideas.

Before sharing on social sites you should only target your niche based audience that will help you to reach more people.

Keyword Research

In the blogging field, finding keywords are most important and keywords play a key role for your website or business growth.

If you are a new blogger then you must find some low competition keywords which will help you to rank fast in google SERP and if you want to see quick results then try to find some long-tail keywords and create quality content on them.

You can use premium SEO tools such as Semrush or Ahref to find keywords and to do other SEO research.

If you have not much money to invest in these tools you can use Ubersuggest, which is a free SEO tool by Neil Patel, and it can provide you hundreds of keyword ideas.

Create Quality Backlinks

When we think of creating backlinks as a newbie blogger we think it is a hectic and a hard-working job because getting high-quality links are very hard and sometimes you need to pay to get quality links.

There are two types of backlinks that are important for ranking in Google SERP.

Do-Follow Backlinks
No-Follow Backlinks

When you leave your link on another’s website or when somebody gives a quick suggestion by sharing your webpage link with href tag, the signal goes to Google that somebody referred to this website having something helpful and unique which helps Google to give value to your webpage.

It helps you to rank fast in Google and also increase your authority and trust flow, which is called do-follow backlinks.

No-follow backlinks are links with a rel=”nofollow” HTML tag applied to them. When somebody only provides you No-follow backlinks the nofollow tag tells search engines to ignore that link.

And when Google crawler finds these kinds of links the signal goes to Google that these links are not much important than to Do-follow links. 

Some people only focus on creating commenting backlinks that look spammy in the Google eye and it can drop your ranking as well.

If your site is new or one year old then there is no need to create tons of backlinks instead you should focus on your content quality, which is a very important SEO factor.

Fixing Errors

If you are a new blogger then you are lucky to know that fixing errors from your site can improve your search performance because every newbie does not know about site errors.

There are a lot of errors you can face on your website such as 404, 502, etc. there are a lot of videos on youtube where you will get solutions to these errors.

Also, you can audit your complete blog for free using Ubersugget’s site audit feature. It will find out all errors and also show you what you need to do to get rid of those errors.

Improve Website Speed

I hope you understand the above factors that I have explained and now, you need to know why website speed can be good for your ranking.

If you have read Google webmaster policy then you must have seen that they have mentioned your website speed will also decide your ranking.

Then how can you improve your website speed, if you are not using cloud or VPS hosting? Do not worry if you are using shared hosting from any local company.

Here’s how to improve your website speed:

Use a light-weight and a premium WordPress theme.
Customize your theme with Elementor pro or Thrive Architect.
Use plugins like W3 Total Cache, Wp Rocket, Swift Performance, or any other cache plugin to speed up your blog.
Keep your images optimized with plugins. 
Only use must-have WordPress plugins. Avoid installing plugins that are not important.

Create High Quality and Engaging Content

Do you know you can rank in Google without creating high-quality backlinks or even zero backlinks?

When we talk about quality content there is no need to create backlinks for that and you will automatically rank in google after 6 or 7 months depending on your keyword.

If you have any blog post ideas then you should keyword research using your ideas and find low competition keywords to rank on Google.

When you will find your keyword then also check your competitor’s website to learn how much engaging content they have and how many words they wrote.

Now, it’s time to mix your juice and make your high-quality content. A brief introduction, conclusion, as well as add some pictures in it. 

There is no need to do keyword stuffing because it will hurt your ranking in Google.

So make sure you also find out how many times the keyword is mentioned in your competitor’s website or page.

How to Make Sure Your Google Analytics Complies with CCPA

Are you thinking if Google Analytics is compliant with the new California Consumer Privacy Act?

Google Analytics is the most popular analytical tool that’s used by millions of webmasters to track their site performance. It helps you understand your user’s behavior and track your site’s performance.

But the way Google Analytics works and collects personal data about your visitors can get you into huge trouble if you don’t meet CCPA compliance.

In this article, I’ll show you how to make sure your Google Analytics complies with CCPA. 

Let’s dive right in.

Disclaimer: Due to the ever-changing nature of websites, no single plugin can offer 100% legal compliance. Please consult a lawyer to determine if you comply with all applicable laws for your jurisdictions and your use cases. Nothing on my website should be considered legal advice.

This post contains affiliate links (I don’t recommend anything that I don’t believe in), meaning at no extra cost to you, I might receive a small commission for purchases made through these links.

What is CCPA?

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a widespread data protection law in the United States that regulates how businesses all over the world are allowed to handle the personal information of California residents. The law went into effect on January 1, 2020, and it’s enforceable from July 1, 2020.

Some of the rights that residents of California have under CCPA include:

Right to be Informed – Users should know how your website collects, sells, discloses, and shares their data.
Right to have Data Deleted – Citizens have the right to get their data erased from your website.
Right to See What Data – This includes the data collected about a user in the past 12 months.
Right to Equal Services and Price – Websites aren’t allowed to discriminate against consumers that exercise this right and should be given the same price and service as other consumers.
Right to Opt-Out – People can opt-out from websites selling, renting, or releasing their personal information to third parties

Who Needs to be CCPA Compliant?

If your business meets the following conditions, then you’ll have to comply with the CCPA compliant law:

Your annual gross revenue is $25 million or higher.
If your 50% or more of your annual revenue is from selling consumer’s personal information.
You buy, receive, or sell personal information of at least 50.000 California residents.

What happens if you don’t comply with CCPA?

If you fail to comply with CCPA, it can put you at risk of huge fines. Well, if you’re found to be intentionally violating the law, then you could face penalties up to $7,500 per violation per individual.

Is Google Analytics CCPA Compliant?

Well, now you know what is CCPA and whether it applies to your business or not, the next burning question you might have is: what does CCPA have to do with Google Analytics?

Google Analytics is a powerful tool that helps you understand how people interact with your website.

But it works by assigning your website visitors an UserID and records personal data like IP addresses, gender, age, device, and more.

This means that it falls under CCPA’s explanation of the consumer’s personal information.

So, should your business disable Google Analytics for CCPA?

Nope!

Without Google Analytics, you won’t have any analytical data to make decisions and you’ll be just guessing about what works on your website.

The best part is,

You can easily make a few changes to make sure your Google Analytics complies with CCPA.

Here’s how you can do it:

How to Make Google Analytics CCPA Compliant?

You can follow these 3 steps to make sure that Google Analytics complies with CCPA requirements.

Step 1: Install MonsterInsights and its EU Compliance Addon

MonsterInsights is a beginner-friendly and one of the best WordPress plugins for Google Analytics. You can easily fulfill the needs of the new CCPA law by installing the plugin and its EU Compliance addon.

The EU Compliance addon allows you to automate different processes to meet CCPA. You can easily disable personal data tracking in Google Analytics using the EU Compliance addon.

Here’s what you can do with the addon:

Anonymize user’s IP address Google Analytics hits
Disable demographics and interest reports for advertising (Google Ads) and remarketing tracking in Google Analytics
Automatically disable author tracking Google Analytics and custom dimensions addon
Disable UserID tracking on Google Analytics
Enable ga() compatibility mode
Allow AMP addon users to agree with the Google AMP consent box before tracking their data
Easy integration with CookieBot and Cookie Notice WordPress plugins

To access the addon, go to Insights » Addons » EU Compliance. Then install and activate the addon.

Once the addon is activated, go to Insights » Settings » Engagement and scroll down to EU Compliance.

Here you can play the settings and disable different tracking features in Google Analytics to comply with CCPA.

Step 2: Create an Opt-Out Consent Box

After setting up MonsterInsights and its EU Compliance addon, the next thing you’ll need to do is create an opt-out consent box.

That’s because one of the rights in CCPA says that people can opt-out from websites sharing their data with third parties.

The simplest way of creating an opt-out consent box is by using free WordPress plugins like CookieBot or Cookie Notice.

Both these plugins offer an option to set up an opt-out consent box that easily integrates with MonsterInsights as well.

Step 3: Update Your Privacy Policy

This is highly important because, under CCPA, California citizens have the right to be informed about how your website collects, sells, discloses, and shares their data.

You can inform your visitors that you use Google Analytics to track your site’s performance. Then describe what personal information Google Analytics collects about your visitors.

You’ll also have to explain the purpose of the data you collect, how you use it, and if it’s shared with any third party.

Your updated privacy policy should also include details about the different cookies you use to track your reader’s information.

Lastly, you can disclose the process that users can take if they want to see their data and how their data can be deleted from your website.

Final Thoughts: How to Make Sure Your Google Analytics Complies with CCPA

If you use Google Analytics and meet the requirements for CCPA, then with the MonsterInsights Google Analytics plugin, you can easily comply with the new CCPA law. Just use its EU Compliance addon and disable tracking with a few clicks of a button.

9 Websites to Download Free and Copyright-Free Music for YouTube Videos

Music and sound effects are vital if you want to make an attractive and engaging video for your target audience. Music adds the emotional touch to your video and makes your video more interesting and engaging.

Also, music helps your audience understand the hidden message and the emotion that you want to convey through your video.

But it’s not easy to find out the best and copyright-free or royalty-free music and sound effects to use on your YouTube video (as background music or other) or any other creative projects such as podcasts, games, and movies.

Today I’m going to show you 9 amazing free websites to download copyright free music to use on your YouTube videos or anywhere you want.

These websites are free to use, full of high quality, and copyright-free or royalty-free music files. You can use any audio files from these websites to do almost anything.

Understanding The License of Copyright-Free Music

When looking for copyright-free music for videos, you’ll see that most of it are offered under a Creative Commons license. While this license gives you permission to download and share the content, there are different types of freedom within it. The five most popular types of creative commons licenses are the following:

CC0: Unrestricted. Publish, share, modify, and commercialize the work without restrictions.
CC BY: Attribution. Unrestricted license as long as you credit the author.
CC BY-SA: Attribution-Share-Alike. Derivative works can only be distributed under the same license.
CC-BY-ND: Attribution-No-Derivatives. Derivative works and remixes are not allowed.
CC BY-NC: Attribution-Non-Commercial. It cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Other common license types you might come across in your search for free music are “royalty-free” and “public domain”:

Royalty-free licenses are those which give the right of using a work without paying fees each time.

Public domain is the most open form of licensing, as works can be used for free for any purpose.

1. Unminus

I’m in love with Unminus – Unsplash for music. We all love Unsplash because they allow us to use their copyright-free images anywhere without giving attribution. Unminus wants to do the same with music licensing.

Unminus is different from all the other music downloading sites here because the tracks come with a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license.

In case you don’t know about Creative Commons licenses, the CC0 license lets you use any work for free, in personal or commercial causes, edit it as you see fit, and without attribution. This means you can do whatever you want with the music on Unminus, and you don’t have to add a link for it in the YouTube description.

Type of license: CC0

2. Free Music Archive (FMA)

The Free Music Archive (FMA) is the #1 online resource for free music and royalty-free music. Free Music Archive works with radio stations, artists, and industry enthusiasts to offer one of the largest available selections of free music for videos.

You can search by song genres, title, clip duration, or type of license to find out the right music track for your YouTube videos or your creative projects.

While the majority of the songs are licensed under Creative Commons and licensed under the Public Domain, some of them are only available for personal download and listening. Make sure to double-check before you start working on your project.

Type of license: All CC types and Public Domain

3. FreePD

All music available on FreePD is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain dedication, and you can download all these music for free.

So, you can copy, modify, distribute, and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission and without giving attribution.

All music of FreePD is written by Kevin MacLeod, Alexander Nakarada, Bryan Teoh, and more. 

Kevin MacLeod is the founder of another copyright-free music downloading site – Incompetech.com. He has composed over 2,000 pieces of royalty-free library music and made them available under a Creative Commons copyright license.

Type of license: Public Domain

Thematic allows you to filter thousands of free music clips by genre, community, vocal, tempo, and mood.

6. YouTube Audio Library (YouTube Music Library)

The YouTube Audio Library is a great and my favorite resource to download royalty-free music and sound effects for YouTube videos and other creative projects.

Maybe you’re planning to create a YouTube channel for your videos and later share them on your website or blog and other social platforms. If that’s the case, why not get your music directly from YouTube?

The YouTube Audio Library or the YouTube Music Library allows you to filter thousands of free music clips by genre, instrument, mood, duration, and license type.

Type of license: Royalty-Free and CC BY

7. Bensound.com

Bensound.com has been created by Benjamin TISSOT also known as Bensound, a Composer and Musician based in France who has been creating music for more than 10 years.

Bensound offers thousands of royalty-free music for YouTube videos, social media projects, websites, games, and more. The platform can be browsed by genre, popularity, uploading date, or tags. Although it once contained only the work of composer Benjamin Tissot, it now includes the works of other musicians as well.

The vast majority of clips on the platform are offered under an attribution no-derivatives CC license. This means you can use them as free background music for videos as long as you credit the site and don’t remix the tracks or use them to create new songs.

You can filter the Musopen music library by the composer, orchestra, period, mood, length, and more.

Chillhop is a totally different music licensing site that’s full of high-quality soothing music.

After signing up, you can use any of the songs found on your Chillhop Creator Dashboard which have the download option enabled.

All you need to do is credit the music on YouTube. Just add the following credit link in your YouTube video description: Music by Chillhop Music: https://chillhop.com

It’s something like the CC BY-ND license.

Chillhop holds all the rights to their music and their music is not royalty-free. They allow creators to use their music as long as their music receives the mandatory credit.

11 Easy Ways to Drive Massive Traffic to Your Website For Free

For anyone just getting started with blogging, driving traffic to your new website might be the most difficult task you will ever be faced with.

But that shouldn’t be the case. It is even more difficult to get Google to love you enough to show your content in top search results especially when your website is just new.

Google doesn’t usually rank new websites to the top of its search results and as a result, many websites with high-quality content may find themselves at the bottom of search results. You will have to wait for 4-6 months before you can see results from implementing good SEO practices such as On-Page and Off-Page SEO on your site.

You may not be patient enough to wait that long.

Don’t worry. I have got you covered.

In this post, I will be sharing 11 practical ways you can drive high-quality traffic to your website.

Let’s dive right in.

1. Guest Posting

This is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your website if done properly and strategically.

You will need to look for more authoritative websites within your industry that accept guest posts and submit high-quality blogs to their sites.

This will not only boost your traffic but also establish you as an expert in your field which will bring more credibility to your business.

It shows you are active in your niche and also results in high-quality backlinks – more on backlinks below.

A good example is Gregory Ciotti of HelpScout who added 36,733 more qualified subscriptions to his email list through guest blogging.

You can find websites that are suited to your niche and accept guest posts by searching for them on Google using the following search queries to see more specific results:

Name of your niche + “write for us”

Name of your niche + “submit guest post”

Name of your niche “sites that accept guest posts”

Write guest article + ‘name of your niche” + blog

Guest blog by + “name of writer” (e.g., Guest post by “Darren Rowse”).

2. Internal linking

This is an often ignored practice by many bloggers that might make a difference in your traffic and retention levels.

When a visitor comes to your blog, your goal is to get them to continue reading on other pages of your website. And that’s why internal linking is very important.

The image above is a good example of how to implement a good internal linking strategy.

You can direct your visitors to related blog posts within an article and this will result in more conversions and also increase the credibility of your site in search engines. Visitors that stay longer on your website are more likely to convert or even become repeat visitors to your site.

3. Repurpose Content

This is a technique that I have found very helpful in growing my own blog to thousands of readers monthly.

If you are finding difficulty in creating high-quality content to increase website traffic then this is a trick worth trying. Simply take a well-performing blog post and repurpose it into a video.

If you have a podcast that really did well you could also convert that into a blog post instead. High-quality content that did well for you will most likely do well again if you transform it while ensuring you are adding value for your readers.

This will continue to drive traffic to your site.

4. Embrace Email Marketing

This is still one of the most profitable marketing tactics around.

It is one of the traditional marketing approaches that has stood the test of time and it will be detrimental for any business to ignore it.

The beauty of email marketing is that it is very inexpensive and therefore it delivers a high ROI per dollar spent.

When it comes to email marketing you have the option to leverage your email subscribers to increase website traffic by encouraging them to share your content and also increase conversion rates from both new and current subscribers.

Provide useful information and links to pages on your website where they can learn more, such as through blog posts and landing pages for particular offers.

Email marketing software also makes it easy to track and analyze the efficacy of your marketing campaigns. You will be able to know how your campaigns are performing in terms of how much traffic you are getting, the sources of traffic, and the conversion rates. This priceless information will enable you to optimize your campaigns to improve performance.

5. Create Video Content

Many of us would rather watch a video about a product than read about it. Your website visitors are not any different.

Research shows that Videos yield a 157% increase in organic search traffic as well. A single search for a query will show video results at the top of the results page. This shows you just how effective videos can be.

Furthermore, 46% of consumers act after watching a video advertisement.

So even as a blogger, it is important that you create a YouTube Channel for your business. This will allow you to connect with your audience more while generating new leads and increasing your website traffic.

You can also create YouTube Videos to supplement some of your blog posts especially tutorial articles.

These videos can be embedded within your blog posts. This is a tactic popular websites such as WPBeginner have taken advantage of to grow their audience as seen in the image above.

Notice that they provide their audience a link to the text version of their content on the website.

6. Create High-Quality Content

Looking for links from other websites is not only tedious but also time-consuming. If you haven’t much time to do guest post pitches, consider creating valuable high-quality content that just begs to be linked to.

High authority and popular websites may pick up your content and that will result in a tremendous source of traffic for your website.

You can also add some relevant keywords to optimize your blog title to improve its ranking on search results.

Ensure you also create powerful headlines to capture the attention of your readers.

7. Create High-Quality Backlinks

You probably know just how much Google values backlinks as a ranking factor for websites. If websites with high authority link to your site, that gives you more credibility.

Irina Nica, senior content strategist at HubSpot says, “There are two main ways in which high-quality backlinks can help drive more traffic to a website: boosting ranking and driving referral traffic.

It is also important to note that not all backlinks are good. Some backlinks will do more harm than good.

Adopt an effective backlinking strategy to improve your site’s link profile. Thus this will also improve your ranking in Google.

Nica adds, “On the other hand, backlinks can also drive a substantial amount of referral traffic. This will come naturally once you get featured or mentioned on a popular website.

You can learn more about how to implement an effective backlinking strategy here

8. Answer Questions on Quora

This is one of my favorite methods of driving free traffic to my website.

Simply answer questions related to your niche on Quora and link the right keywords to anchor content on your site or blog.

However, don’t use this platform to spam other users. Be respectful and if you are not very knowledgeable about a particular topic don’t voice your own opinions as fact.

Above is a screenshot of a question I answered just today that has already driven over 500 visitors to my website in just a few hours. Think of how much traffic it will be in a month’s period.

9. Leverage Your Presence On Social Media

Social media can massively impact your business and its ability to generate traffic and sales.

According to statista.com, almost 4.57 billion people were active internet users as of April 2020, encompassing 59% of the global population.

Social media sites such as Facebook average over 2.5 billion monthly active users. This is a treasure box.

Source – Statista

You can tap into this pool of traffic by sharing your posts to social media sites and also ensuring you have social media share buttons on your blog posts.

10. Create Infographics

This is also one of the amazing ways to drive traffic to your website.

Building high-quality infographics is an incredible form of clickbait that can essentially create an enormous amount of traffic for your site.

Platforms like Pinterest can be a great place to share your infographics and drive traffic to your website.

Ensure you carry out intensive research and gather relevant statistics. This might prove to be the most difficult task when it comes to creating infographics but there are a variety of tools and resources you can utilize to get the job done:

Statista is one of my favorite sites with statistics on almost anything you can think about.

Pew Research Center also provides a detailed look at hot topics including politics, religion, global and social trends.

11. Improve Site load time and design

Ever found yourself waiting 1 minute for a web page to load? Me neither. If your site takes forever to load, your bounce rate will skyrocket. And the same applies to the general outlook of your website.

First impressions are very important. Visitors are more likely to click off websites with poor designs and slow loading speeds.

This will negatively impact your traffic as well as conversion rates. If you can’t fully optimize your website for responsiveness, consider hiring an expert to do it for you.

How to Make Event Tracking with Google Analytics Easy in WordPress

Want to learn how to set up Google Analytics custom events tracking in WordPress?

When tracking certain events from your WordPress website, you can monitor how people interact with your content and website layout.

From clicks to scrolls, knowing how visitors behave can help you create engaging content and it’s especially useful when you’re trying to make money online.

Knowing how people interact with your layout can lead to smarter decisions about things like ad placements, banner placements, button placements, and other important link placements to increase CTR (click-through rate).

However, the Google Analytics custom events setup process is a bit tricky for beginners. That’s where MonsterInsights plugin’s custom link attribution feature turns out to be useful.

In this article, I’m going to show you exactly how to easily add Google Analytics custom event tracking in WordPress with MonsterInsights.

Let’s dive right in.

What are Google Analytics Custom Events?

Events are user interactions with content like banner clicks, downloads, button clicks, link clicks, etc.

Event tracking allows you to track how your site visitors are interacting with your site content and layout.

Tracking your events helps you to understand your most engaging content. Also, using the right Google Analytics event tracking data, you can optimize your less effective content and boost your conversions to make more money from your online business.

Let’s see how to add Google Analytics events tracking in WordPress with MonsterInsights.

This post contains  affiliate links  (I don’t recommend anything that I don’t believe in), meaning at no extra cost to you, I might receive a small commission for purchases made through these links.

Setting Up Google Analytics Custom Event Tracking in WordPress with MonsterInsights

By default, Google Analytics tracks only pageview hits and other metrics (bounce rate, traffic source, and more) related to pageviews. So, if you want to track how users’ interact with the content, you should set up custom event tracking to measure event hits.

You can set up Google Analytics custom events tracking in WordPress using MonsterInsights Google Analytics plugin. It simplifies the whole process of setting up event tracking in WordPress and I think it’s the easiest method available. Anyone can do it, even if they have zero coding knowledge.

With the new MonsterInsights Custom Link Attribution Feature, you can track your call-to-action (CTA) buttons and find out how your site visitors are engaging with those buttons. Also, you can add event tracking to other important links and see how users interact with those links.

It’s easy to add Google Analytics custom event tracking to your custom WordPress links with MonsterInsights. All you need to do is to add the following tags to the HTML of your link:

Example

Once you add the tags, MonsterInsights will track your WordPress links and provide you with detailed reports.

For example,

Suppose your call-to-action button is a link to your subscribe page: https://www.example.com/subscribe

Here, MonsterInsights will use the following event conditions:

Category: “cta”

Action: “click”

Label: “subscribe button”

Now, you’ll need to replace the event category, action, and label with your event conditions. Then your custom event tracking link will look like the one  below:

Buy Now

That’s it!

Now to view the data from your custom event tracking link, head over to the Publishers report in MonsterInsights Google Analytics Plugin.

Go to Insights » Reports » Publisher. Next, scroll down and view the Top Outbound Links report if you created a custom link like the one for ‘subscribe’ in the example.

Final Thoughts: How to Make Event Tracking with Google Analytics Easy in WordPress

Don’t underestimate the power of Google Analytics event tracking. It can help you deliver engaging content to your visitors. It can reduce the bounce rate and it can boost your conversion rate drastically.

Now It’s Your Turn

Hey, I hope you enjoyed reading this tutorial on adding Google Analytics custom events tracking in WordPress with MonsterInsights.

Now I’d like to hear from you:

Will you add custom event tracking on your website?

Let me know in the comment section below right now.
