Sellers Note

I am an intermediate white hat SEO website developer and created Seaweeding.com along with a suite of other websites throughout 2022, using the white hat SEO training and instruction delivered by eBusiness Institute Australia. The intention was for these websites, including Seaweeding.com to be ultimately monetized with display advertising and affiliates. All websites followed the same basic formula, which included:

• Thorough keyword research, niche analysis and competitor analysis.
• Regular publication of high quality and useful human-written content, on article topics identified from keyword research.
• A correctly constructed website from a technical SEO perspective.

All in all, this website has ‘good bones’ built upon white hat SEO principles. This is supported by the fact that all the websites I created several months prior to Seaweeding, following the same formula, have experienced great traffic growth (4,000-10,000 users/month) and were relatively unaffected by Google updates throughout the tumultuous past 12 months.

Even though the traffic is still relatively low, I sincerely believe that Seaweeding.com is sitting on the cusp of the same success in the near future, as long as new high quality content continues to be published on a regular basis.

Website Features

CMS/Platform: WordPress (Theme: Astra) (Page Builder: Elementor Free)

Content: 100% human written content. All content was written by a professional content writer (Nick) with over 20 years of experience, who I have developed a long, trusting work relationship with. He is very good and a native English (US) speaker. As well as writing, he is familiar with WordPress, and does basic on-page SEO for posts to a schedule. You can give him a list of article topics and he’ll take care of the rest for you, from writing to publishing. The writer would be willing to continue working on the website, and I can put the successful buyer in contact with him. All written content is copyright Seaweeding.com.

Images: All images are stock images that have been carefully sourced to ensure they are permitted for commercial use.

Growth Potential

Opportunities

Growth opportunities that I would recommend to the successful buyer are:

• Recipes. Develop a large collection of seaweed-focused recipes, across a range of ethnic cuisines. The most popular posts on the website are recipes, so this seems like a logical direction to move in. This could be professionally written and/or user generated content.
• Increase Publishing Frequency. Publish quality content more frequently. Currently I am publishing 1 article every 4-6 weeks; you could increase this to weekly for much faster growth.

To ensure continued success, focus on high quality human-written content.

Operational Information

Time Commitment: 1-2 hours per week, variable depending on your goals and level of personal involvement.

Skills Needed: Basic SEO and basic technical skills to run a WordPress website. If you hire my writer above, it is very hands-off, all you need to do is monitor.

Current Team: Me + 1 Writer (paid on a per-article basis)
