People often think that managing and growing a blog is simple and easy, but the reality is quite different. Many bloggers fail to monetize and grow their blogs for a number of reasons.
For today’s episode, I have invited a special guest, Aisha Preece to share with us her winning strategies for content websites to make money online.
Aisha Preece is the founder and owner of side hustle website OutandBeyond.com, as well as 5 other blogs. She has a great passion for SEO and teaching others how to drive thousands of visitors to their new websites, but she also believes in monetising using alternative monetisation strategies, such as workshops, and a variety of digital products.
We had a wonderful discussion on the following: Why did she start blogging and trying to make money online? What is her process of making more money through her blogs? Is it ads or affiliate products or both? How does she grow her email list and sell them awesome products they want? And how she hires writers and how you can do the same for ANY niche website?
We also discussed how often she publishes content and what that looks like? How to create typical authority for a content site? She also shared her experience in buying two blogs. And what she learnt through the due diligence process?
If you think your blog is underperforming, maybe it’s time to ditch your old strategies and try a new one. Catch this episode and get to know Aisha’s secrets for her content websites to make money online!

Key Takeaways
➥ Aisha have tried different side hustles in the past but she got into blogging because it offers her the freedom to work from anywhere, choose her own schedule, have autonomy, and choose people to work with.
➥ Successful website growth is often mistakenly assumed to happen quickly for everyone. However, people overlook the fact that those who have achieved rapid growth have also experienced failures and gained valuable experience along the way. Building a website takes time, effort, and learning from both successes and failures. It's important to understand that failure is a part of the process and provides insights for improvement. Behind the success stories are countless hours of hard work and perseverance. By embracing failure and valuing the learning process, individuals can set realistic expectations and increase their chances of long-term success.
➥ Having great content alone is not enough for a successful website. It's equally important to have an attractive design and fast loading speed. A visually unappealing or slow website can deter visitors and hinder user experience. Design and performance optimization are crucial for engaging users and keeping them on your site.
