I’m still working on getting the lighting just right for these blackboard videos. So tell me honestly, what do you think of this style of video? And if you’re one of those that likes this video format, what do you want me to explain next on the blackboard?
Love this.You're great teacher Ricky!
I like this format. It is like a classroom that is actually very interesting.
I would love you to next explain how to increase EPMV.
Or
How to Survive the ghost town phase.
Or
How to make an Info Product
All are response posts :p
I really like this format as well. I like the board and your delivery look better than ever. Very relaxed but confident. The blackboard is great for listing differences between items. It keeps the distinctions in front of you to compare. As for topics for the blackboard: GA vs GA4, Ezoic vs Mediavine, starting a blog vs RUclips channel, etc. One more thing, I don't love the up-lighting. I would add fill light opposite the main light to get rid of the contrast. Great video as always.
I really liked this format. I liked being able to read and listen at the same time.
the format of the backboard is great, but the lighting I think needs to be a little bit brighter
Wtf why more people don't know about Income School. They are 100% the best channel on RUclips for blogging topics.
No no no
Don't create competitions for the rest of us
We would like to keep it that way
Absolutely! I was "scammed" by Neil Patel before by his outdated SEO sh!t. Income school just saved me
@@Cheesecake99YearsAgo Yeah i think the same way!
@@eljondeocampo4619 that guy don't provide any value at all. I was lookin at his uber suggest tool and i dont like it at all. It says that one broad topic in my niche is getting only 3k monthly searches which is not possible.
They got to be one of the most popular courses for blogging. Everyone knows who they are, even if they're a bit controversial.
This is literally the most helpful blogging channel out there.
I have never seen a bad video by you guys. So I wouldn't much worry about the lighting. The information contained in your videos is far too valuable for us to complain about the lighting, my friend lol . The main reason I get any traffic at all to my channels is because I practice what you guys teach.. it works
I’ve been blogging for around 7 months now. Consistently posting at least once a week, yet I felt as though I wasn’t getting the amount of traffic I should. This video has just opened my eyes. And I’m sure your advice will make a huge difference to my blog. Thank you income school ❤️
On a case study I am doing on a niche topic- out of 90 response posts, 78 of them show up for rich snippets. The ones that are not ranking are much higher competitive titles and the heavyweights in the niche are getting those. But this a relatively new site and it is getting 1,000 monthly visitors.
Hello Ricky, I am not a student of income school but I am grateful for your blogging tips. Keep up the good work and wishing you the very best.
I will always say it, income school is the reason I have not given up on blogging. Nice instructive materials. Well done Ricky.
Another good one. Thanks my teacher, Ricky. Best wishes to the Income School team and subscribers always.
All of your videos are good. You've inspired me a lot to start blogging. Even though I'm not good at writing and English is not my first language, I'll try my best. Thanks for the best content.
Great information. It's always good to review that foundation material to make sure we are moving in the right direction.
I love the clarity of the explanations and I really feel like I've spent my time wisely when I watch an Income School video, but more than that it's great to get this information from someone who seems like such a nice man. The whole group at Income School just seem like good people. Thanks folks. There's enough in the world to bring us down, it's nice to have others to bring us back up again.
Never miss a single Video.
Thank you Ricky..!! Yes if we are trying to be as helpful as possible in the respective niches then we don't have to worry about algorithmic changes. And after a certain period of time traffic must come because if google starts observing user behaviour at our site, as users are spending time to read the information and it will help us create a good signal to Google. And thats how traffic will generate which will be for very long period of time.
Wow Ricky this was an awesome, informative video. These types of videos really help visualize the amount and type of content to be writing on a brand new website from day 1. Thanks!
Hmm wasn’t notified of this video just as well I came to check out. Great video Ricky. Really confirms the course
I can’t get enough f your videos. Appreciated!
Hey Ricky, amazing content as usual. For the lights, try to move it away and from top to the bottom as it seems they were pretty low (from the shadow below eyebrows). We don’t watch you because you’re an Instagram model, we watch you because you share so much value through this channel. Just a few hours ago one of your competitors just publish a video still talking about Keywords research on ahrefs 🙅🏻♂️. Say hi to Jim when you see him.
Thank you! I’ll say hi for you.
Thanks for the reminder on the different types of posts.
Thanks for another awesome video. I really like the fact that content creation is central in your system, and SEO and monetization follow.
Income School you are very generous in the information you provide.
Great vid. Nice to hear it's normal to start a response post that ends up as a staple post. As a new writer it can be hard to judge.
You are a great teacher Ricky, thank you for all you do for us 🤗
On Point as always!
Love the new advice for types of posts.
I really like this blackboard teaching style! Something that could perhaps work for this type of video is how to do a site map? I've become really interested in topic clusters and interlinking and have even created a site map on a cork board where each piece of paper represents an article and a piece of string represents the interlinking (such a geek, I know!). And so I think a blackboard video could illustrate this well.
Thanks, Ricky! I think the point about writing concise, helpful content is important. It's not just about hitting a specific word count, it's about packing as much helpful information you can into a digestible format. I'd like to see how the Income School team goes about making infographics - I've found that process to be time consuming and tedious.
Awesome Topic, I learned a lot from this content about what is a Response, Staple, and Pillar Posts. Thank you for this channel it will speed up my development as a new blogger with a new website. More power INCOME SCHOOL!
Thanks! I’m glad we can help
Awesome information. It helps when you think about what the intended customer wants. That has been my approach.
*oh Ricky, what happened to the old style video intros ..you know the ones where you guys (😂 mostly Jim) attempt a humorous jab lol
This is great, the breakdown so tight!
Amazing instruction on a path, a check list and as a content writer this fits.
Content mix is the idea i have got from one of previous video made by you and Jim... from then i have started applying on my blog... great result... thanks for elaborating the topic now.... love from India.. ♥️
Great work ricky and team..
Thanks Ricky, this is the video I've been waiting for since you announced your change to the post types back in May.
I was watching for it too! When Jim told us that income school won't be doing three types of posts anymore
Same here. The content is great. I didn’t notice any lighting problems.
I wasn't really considering what the right mix of content was for the website overall. I'll have to go back and evaluate whether I have enough staples to make my product sticky once the response posts draw them in. Thanks for the nudge, Ricky!
Ricky, you really have taken this chanel to the next level 👏
Response post with low competition and carefully written answer targets immediately won us snippets. I would love to see some examples on how to include answer targets in a Staple post that doesn't actually answer a question (such as a How to or product review). BTW, nice shirt Ricky.
This video is very helpful. Thanks for educating me!
Thank you Ricky for the informative video. It is an informative and a good signpost for bloggers.
You guys have been extremely helpful with my blog. I now have 3 published posts. Thank you
A good video after a long time.
YES SIR!!!! 🤝😁
I was really excited to see this video, I’ve been confused about content mix and post length 👍
Thank you very much for the content. It is very helpful. Keep it going!
This was a great reminder, thanks Ricky! I do the content mix but I'm not always the most intentional about it so this is helpful!
Ricky, your handwriting should be a font. It looks really clean. Awesome stuff by the way.
Great info, Thanks
Some great information there Ricky. Thank you so much for posting.
Love this video,
The answer Target is really a game changer!
Dang, needed this one... Super improtant factor that I hadn't really thought about and I'm fairly experienced in the world of blogging. Thanks for this!
Great info!
Thanks so much. This is so helpful. Plus you're hilarious!
Such a helpful breakdown and explanation!
I do appreciate the more thorough breakdown and explanations here.
Would love to hear an update to see how you feel about response posts today. With AI now (or soon to) answering these type of queries on page without linking out to source pages, does it make sense to continue to spend time on response posts?
Like the new video style
awesome video. thanks for doling out this knowledge
You guys never fail to bring valuable content
Response Post = it Depends ---- love this lesson thanks
Although I am already a P24 member I found that very helpful. Thanks Ricky
VERY helpful. Thanks so much
Really good video Ricky. Thanks.
I'm already here. As usual, great content. Thank You
hi! Useful content, but it sounds like you have audio from two audio sources... Perhaps the on-camera audio was not completely removed?
Thank you Ricky, Love this approach!!!
Love the board
I would say between 750 - 1000 makes Google happy if you are being direct and answering the question. Google doesn't like "fluff". So I agree a set "length" does matter, how well you provide content I'd what matters. 1000 words isn't always necessary
Ricky, you briefly explains the Search Query.
Ricky, You should give an example of the topic with an outline. In this case response post.
I know you are giving great info, but the sped up audio messes with my head.
How do you build authority with Google though?
Superhelpful. I am always feeling like I am not quite nailing content mix. I only have a very small number of posts over 2k words. I am getting better at pumping out 1500 words before work! (I have written right around 100 posts at this point.) Feels good. I usually listen and don't watch too closely, so lighting not a big concern for me!
Amazing video, great job Ricky!
Thank you for your helpful info.I've been watching your videos and have been wanting to join p24, however i am still on the fence because i can't get to a niche.
P24 member here! For competitive niches why should I write response posts if I already committed to writing quality staple posts? Even if other established sites have a balance of both, doesn't the redundancy just cause competition between a response and staple. I am happy with writing quality staple posts and like creating long articles. I answer the main query within the post firsthand before branching out and answering related questions. It is necessary to have a balance if I am okay with commiting the time to longer staple posts, or does Google need smaller resources to rank that are intended for just one query?
There are definitely niche where staple posts are needed for almost every topic in order to rank. Even in this case, you’ll want to pick some very low competition topics that you will be very likely to rank for. That helps establish at least a minimum level of authority on your niche.
That’s why we teach to write some response posts first. You’re more likely to win when you write a dedicated article for a fairly low competition search term.
In your case, I’d do what would create the best resources for your potential audience. If that means meatier staple posts from the beginning, go for it.
If down the road they’re not quite getting the traffic that they merit, try throwing in some dedicated response posts and see if that helps.
I know it’s Halloween season, but what’s with the uplighting?
Hai sir I am thippu from India
I am your big fan
The inconvenient truth: I need more staple posts lol
To the post mobile!
Great info, Thanks for sharing.
This Is What I needed to learn. thanks
It would be interesting to what mix everyone has, maybe you could do a poll.
You’re a good teacher Ricky. Nice job. But I do miss the complete waste of time gimmicky intros…
LOL, I’ll see what I can do
🤛
I love ur videos, please what are examples of response post topics, and staple post topics
Attorney Tom reference: It DEPENDS
My best performing post are around 1500 words. My big ones are articles that are over 3,000 words are in the dirt.
What would you call posts that gather resources like Top 5 Podcasts For... Is that a response?
The more I write, the less I worry about mix percentages. Identify a good search query, and write what is necessary for that specific topic.
great content as usual
How do you know you are doing a good job with your articles/keyword choices if it takes 8 months minimum to see a hockey stick growth curve? Are their other stats that might indicate you are on the right track? Any early warning signals that might indicate a problem? Google is taking forever to index large swaths of content so it’s difficult to use indexing rate as a gauge of your content quality.
I don't understand. There was a video 6 months earlier than this one that said you guys were only making 2 types of posts now. What happened there?
I always start with writing a response post and end up writing a staple post.
Does that happen with anyone else?
Longer response post.
This happens to me a lot. I gave up on response posts because they seemed redundant. I answer the main queries in my staple posts and add three to five related search queries to strengthen the resource and add depth. Idk if I should make a response post to go along with it, but I am leaning toward no. For me, it's because my niche is competitive and other websites that have 1000 plus articles might have many articles targeting similar topics, but if I can create a quality site with fewer articles than I will have the time to strengthen the posts individually over time as I edit them.
@@mirandacox3751 I am sailing in the same boat. I write about guitars. Very competitive niche.
What is your website called? I would love to check it out.
@@mirandacox3751 Amazing work. I just checked out some of your articles. I do not have any kids but still reading through I felt like yes parents should do this. Furthermore, I was reading 11 steps to teach children how to play and wondering What if my parents did all this with me?
Great writing skills and love the flow of articles.
Mine is Stringcart. Here I am teaching guitar for free. So I have an info product that I floated for free. It is a complete beginners' guitar course. You start from the very scratch about how to hold the guitar and learn all the way to writing your first song. There are a total of 18 lessons in this course and over 300+ minutes of video lessons. I am still uploading lessons. Work in progress. Do check it out :)
@@lmp_in Thank you for the kind words! I am definitely going to check out Stringcart soon!
Lately, I've ended up with several Staple Posts over 10,000 words. At that point, it almost seems like it might be worth breaking up, but they use the same H2 heading templates as smaller Staple Posts of 2-4,000 words and I don't feel like that template lends itself to being broken up in any logical way, each section is meant to work with those around it. Any suggestions one way or the other?
Tell the readers they can download the post as a ebook. Here is an example (dutch). It gave me quite a few subscriptions for my mailing list.
@@christinevanderpol1750 These articles are an integral part of a series that I’m doing on the site though, I don’t think I can take them down or shorten them simply to restrict them to ebook format.
@@PathsUnwritten don't take them down. Just offer the reader a possibility to download the information - if it fits of course.
Great Video. Question, if I'm a local business in a smaller country is it worth writing content for a search term which majority of the rankings are from international websites, Will it help my local business rankings even though the traffic I will be receiving are unlikely to be purchasing my service because it is a locally-focused service? Thanks!
Yeah!!!!!
Hey Ricky, should i embed youtube video links as product images. The thumbnails of videos look good as product images? What do you think??
Kindly Reply!!
Kindly reply!
Please do u have videos on how to write original contents
Ricky do you recommend using surfer SEO or any other such tools?
Why do I feel like this video was sped up a bit?
But how do you mix your Thai Curry?
Do you think tech(computer parts) is a good niche? I think it's competitive but there is a lot of low competition keywords
