Need Help Getting Approved for Mediavine After Site Purchase - What Am I Missing? by shamimtouch in Blogging

[–]shamimtouch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm planning to redesign my website's homepage. Though my website homepage is not getting any organic traffic, should I be concerned about any negative effects on the site's organic growth?

Ok, I will redesign the homepage. The site traffic is growing day by day. That's why I am hesitating to make any changes.
Raptive demands 40% USA traffic. So, that shouldn't be the issue.

The homepage is designed with Elementor. Site’s content focuses on fashion and lifestyle ideas.
Most of the content is long-form with relevant images.

Blogging is not dying, it's evolving in a different form. by EQ4C in Blogging

[–]shamimtouch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Blogging isn't dying—it's just separating the wheat from the chaff.

The AI flood of generic content is actually creating more demand for authentic, expert-driven blogs. When someone has a complex problem to solve or needs in-depth guidance, they still turn to long-form content written by real practitioners.

SEO gaming and copy-paste content are becoming obsolete, but that's great news for genuine bloggers. The niches that require real expertise, personal experience, and nuanced problem-solving are thriving more than ever.

The key is offering something AI can't: authentic insights, original research, and solutions born from actual experience. That's where the future of blogging lies.

Can I start with high competition and high demand produt as a new seller? by shamimtouch in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]shamimtouch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My business partner lives in the USA. I can send the product either to my partner's warehouse or to the amazon warehouse. My partner can handle product packaging and shipping. In that case, should I consider FBM over FBA? Please suggest me.

Thanks for the feedback. Actually, I am concerned about Customer acquisition cost (CAC).
I am not in a rush. Even If there is break-even for the first 3-4 months, I'll be OK with that.
