Creating a successful blog isn't a piece of cake. Sometimes, you have to invest money to make it work. Among all tasks, content creation, content indexation, and content monetization stand out as the top 3 priorities, which we are willing to invest in.

However in this post, I'll share 3 tips to save over $100 every month on those areas.

1. Indexing

Have you ever found yourself manually indexing each and every post on Google Search Console (GSC) for your blog? I sure have, multiple times. Most of the time, Google doesn’t even bother to indexing them.

To achieve quick results, many blog owners turn to paid indexing tools such as IndexMeNow and LinkIndexer to fasten the indexing works. A new player in the field is SerpCrawl, introduced by Minh from SEOmatic. Yes, those are premium options, but you can achieve the standard results for free without any coding involved.

Here is how!

Just 5 minutes to setup, you can index up to 200 pages per site per day. Thank RankMath to make it feel like a breeze!

2. Affiliate Product Box

Commercial niche sites aim to monetize primarily through affiliate marketing. To enhance the chances of people clicking on your affiliate link and making a purchase, the product box plays a crucial role.

AAWP and Lasso stand out as the top two contenders among these solutions.

However, these options come with costs (Lasso at $39/site/month and AAWP at €49/site/month). Expenses can add up fast! But here's how you can bypass that.

What you will need is a free plugin called GenerateBlocks:

Next, navigate to your affiliate article. Here is an example I did with one of the niche sites in my previous post. This site utilizes our AI writing tool, WriteAny, which results in an impressive SEO score on AIOSEO (94/100).

Ok! Let’s try to create a nice Amazon product box for non-slip yoga mats :)

First, you will need to create 2 columns for your box. You can do so by clicking the + sign and search for ‘Columns’ block:

Then, for the left column, add an image block and upload the product image. After that, we use the right column to provide readers with the product information. We add the heading and paragraphs just like creating a mini blog post.

Finally, you add a hyperlinked button and play around with the colors!

Look pretty decent, isn’t it? I am sure that you can make a nicer block with your creativity and design skills. If you intend to use the block again in the future, select 'Create pattern/reusable block'.

3. Content Creation

I realize that the usual order would be to begin with content creation, followed by the affiliate box, and lastly indexing. However, I've chosen to present the most impactful tip at the end: Using AI-writing tool!

In the past, niche site owners had to shell out around $100 for a 1,000-word SEO-optimized article written by skilled writers. However, things have changed with the advent of AI writing tools.

Yet, not all AI writing tools are created equal. Behind the scenes, founders have had to put in a lot of effort to train and refine these tools to ensure they perform at their best. This also helps clients save money that would otherwise be spent on hiring expensive human writers.

An example of such a reliable and budget-friendly AI writing tool is WriteAny, a product of our extensive research and development efforts. WriteAny not only saves you money, but also the time and headaches associated with content creation.
