Hello World!
I’ve been a professional blogger since 2005.
Here I show you how to blog.
This is no fluff or sales pitch!
This is the real deal! Why?
Yes! I worked as a blogger for two decades!
“Professional” is not a judgement. It means it was my profession. Or in a way still is.
Yet I don’t make money off this blog directly!
So there are no biases due to more or less hidden affiliate links!
Also there is no GPT or “grab and publish technology” that writes for me. These articles are all written by a human being.
What is my experience with blogging you may ask?
I created several blogs for myself and worked for numerous others!
seo2.blog is just one of them.
Since 2007 I have helped people with blogging (among other topics) here.
Some of the blogs I worked for are very popular to this day
- Ahrefs (2015 for a year)
- Hubspot (Several posts as far back as 2007!)
- Search Engine Land (2022/23 for half year and a dozen posts).
Others aren’t for various reasons. This also applies to my own blogs.
- sum1.onreact.com (very popular art, design and trends blog between 2003 and 2007).
- bike-blog.info (since 2010 – number one bike blog in Germany for years but inactive in recent years).
- seo2.blog (seo2.onreact.com) – popular “social SEO” blog since 2007 – 2009, then quite silent in recent years)
Thus I can show you how to succeed as a blogger, but also what makes blog fail – e.g. common mistakes of business bloggers etc.
Where to begin your blogging adventure? Here and now!
