Topic: How to emigrate to Europe

Samantha North's niche site, Digital Emigre, grew to $7,000 in revenue in 2 years.

Although she was a serial blogger and ex-journalist, Samantha had no SEO knowledge prior to starting her journey.

In our case study with Samantha, we focus on four core tenets of a successful niche site SEO strategy.

(1) Choosing a niche

(2) Making a content strategy

(3) Monetizing your traffic (often through 5-figure affiliates!)

(4) Mistakes to avoid

It was particularly enticing to hear this story from the perspective of someone fresh to SEO. It was a stark reminder of the fundamental principles of great SEO, and how impactful doing the basics right can be.

Topic: Retro gaming console reviews

Brandon Saltalamacchia published his first piece of content in June 2019.

Three years later, in November 2022, Retro Dodo pulled in $55,000 in revenue. Now, that is a highly profitable blog.

With a successful YouTube channel, blog and social media accounts, Retro Dodo truly embodies a brand.

His followers are raving retro gaming fans, and they trust his console reviews.

Retro Dodo earns $8,000 per month through affiliates—encouraging sales of games consoles, each of which he's unboxed and reviewed.

This case study was an important tip to the future of search: a fully-integrated video x written blog.
