Key points discussed
- Create for your reader while following Google’s guidelines: Focus on building a loyal following through consistent content creation aimed to serve your audience instead of creating for Google.

- Diversify revenue streams and platforms to weather industry changes: Do not rely solely on one platform or monetization method.
