When I first started by blog I purely did it because I enjoyed writing about health and beauty.  I liked writing about the beauty product recipes that I created and I loved researching new material.  However, I never used to get any visitors to my blog except for my friends and family and due to the thousands of beauty blogs already on the internet I had way too much competition to ever rank in the search engines.  This is when I hired an SEO consultant.

What Changed?

My main aim was just to increase the amount of traffic that my blog received.  My SEO consultant looked at my blog and agreed that it was worth pursuing and he honestly thought that he could get it to rank in the search engines.  He showed me the importance of keyword optimising my articles and some SEO strategies such as link building.

I Actually Ended up Making Money

After working with my SEO consultant for six months, my blog began to creep further up the search engine pages.  Before I knew it my traffic had really increased and I was able to share my recipes with people from all over the world.  My SEO consultant also recommended that I start using advertisements on my website and believe it or not I now not only share my health and beauty tips with the world but I actually make a nice income every month. 

If you are unsure about whether to hire an SEO consultant or not, take my advice and do it!
