Simon Taki Zaku: Professional SEO Specialist for Hire
Updated: Feb 24
Hey, I'm an SEO guy from Nigeria; and I run the best SEO & Content Marketing blog on the internet - Sounds weird?
Read my story on how I started blogging from a little place where I still live in, Jalingo, Taraba state, Nigeria, from my hostel bunk and grew it to $3,000 per month. Today, I help businesses or start-ups and busy solopreneurs plan and write blogs that attract leads and customers.
Here is a popular principle that I designed for writing high-converting blog articles for any business or website on the internet.
Every blog article published must accomplish 3 things I refer to as the 3 Es of writing high converting blog posts:
E1 - Excites a target audience to read,
E2 - Educate them on a specific topic, or answer the market's questions + Educate readers on how specific products or services can help ease their pain.
E3 - Entice readers to try your products or services.
Here's a detailed guide on creating only the best possible blog posts for your business this year:
Thank you for checking out my SEO, blogging, and content marketing blog for start-ups, agencies, busy solopreneurs, and marketing professionals ;)
And this is what my first ever blog looked like:
My name is Simon Zaku and I've been blogging for 12 years with experience writing for agencies, start-ups and businesses for the past 7 years.
Professional SEO Specialist for Hire: How Did I Get into SEO and Content Marketing?
My Nigerian story...
A decade ago, on a Friday evening here in Taraba, Nigeria, my journey into the world of blogging began.
At the age of 13, I was walking around the neighbourhood and bumped into an old friend (and mentor), Job Benedict, who was into blogging at the time.
His infectious excitement got my attention, and to my amazement, he had just cashed out $60.00 from Google AdSense.
That was a lot of money converted to Nigerian Naira at the time! It still is.
The revelation that someone in a rural area like Jalingo, Taraba state, Nigeria, in 2012, could earn in USD simply by utilizing a computer left me astounded.
Unfamiliar with the concept of a blog, I eagerly asked Ben, "What is a blog?"
He explained that a blog was a platform where one could earn through Google AdSense.
Driven by curiosity, I pressed on, "What is Google AdSense, and how can I get started too?"
Ben Job then enlightened me, describing it as a platform connecting with a blog to display adverts and generate income in USD.
I was determined to embark on this journey thus I questioned further, "How do I get started?" His simple advice was, "Google it out, Simon"
Motivated by my friend and mentor, Ben, especially considering the significant value of $60.00 in Nigerian Naira, I decided to delve into the world of blogging.
The very next day, I hastily created my first blog—a free platform running on Blogger BlogSpot.
This marked the beginning of my blogging odyssey, a journey that has since shaped my online presence and aspirations.

Today, I've helped more than 10 start-ups generate millions or organic traffic and I want to help your business or start-up accomplish your traffic goals.
Blogging for Business: What Exactly Do I Do for Businesses?
You see, every start-up wants to achieve one goal or another. Every business, organization, or agency dreams of achieving at least one objective.
This could be to get more sign-ups, registrants, leads, booking, and sales, or acquire paid users for your start-up or application.
Businesses also want to increase traffic, brand authority, and reach, and build a loyal fanbase.
Action Note: Take a second to think about that one goal your company wants to achieve this year. (Feel free to share in the comments).
Business Blogging Vs Social Media Networks - Which Drives More Targeted Traffic in 2024?
Oftentimes, founders ask;
How do you get leads on Instagram?
Does Twitter work for B2B marketing?
But truth be told; people barely click links on Twitter and Facebook.
Instagram and Twitter could get you a handful of clicks (from your social shares) to your startup website or a few users here and there.
Except you have a budget of $1000s for paid social adverts.
LinkedIn is also powerful for generating potential leads, clients, and users.
BUT SEO BLOGGING IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT GAME.
How can you improve your SEO with blogging and effective content marketing?
Effective start-up blogging or b2b content marketing can get you 10 times more organic traffic, sign-ups, leads, and customers than most social networks without having to break to bank.
Most of those that do, either publish a few times a year or most times don't publish at all.
Think about the ideas behind every Google search.
Today, there are over 8 billion Google searches every day. Yahoo's search engine gets over 1 billion.
That's a lot of possibilities for your brand objectives through search engines.
About 4 years ago (during the pandemic), I wanted to grow my traffic and leads and eventually sell a book from my blog.
I ended up publishing this book and sold a few copies. You can click this link to check the book.
Plus, I got this email out of nowhere!
Fun fact: I hadn't set up the payment method before this email because I never thought anyone would buy my book.
I simply started writing and publishing SUPER detailed and engaging blog content each week.
The results?
Within 6 to 8 weeks, I had published 12 blog posts.
Every blog post had a minimum of 2,000 words. One article was a 10,000-word resource guide while a few posts were around the 3,000-word mark.
This caused tremendous growth in my search engine, social, and direct traffic.
This also tripled my email newsletter Sign ups in less than 2 weeks.
Side Note: I will be publishing 3 case studies on how I helped UniclixApp.com generate over 1 million visitors just by writing, publishing, and promoting weekly blog posts. Be sure to sign up to my blog's forum here to be the first to know when new posts go LIVE.
Here's what I did to achieve this traffic and SEO results on my blog;
To begin with, I published well-researched, valuable content (mainly how-tos) & detailed blog posts.
Each post has between 2,000 to 5,000 words and I publish once each week.
I promoted each blog post I published. This includes cold reach-outs, social marketing, content repurposing, etc.
I rinsed and repeated every week! (A/B Testing)
All my blog articles had at least one hundred (100) social media shares with the highest having 6,000 social shares followed by a 3,000-shared article (at the time).
Past Content Writing & Blogging Clients I Have Worked With?
I've gone over to work with and apply the same SEO and blogging techniques for brands like UniclixApp.com, A1future.com, and, Cyberbackpack.com!
My content has been shared by some of the top & most influential marketing minds in the b2b industry.
Think Evan Carmichael, Noah Kagan, Sam Hurley, Rebekah Radice, Mark Schaefer, Samantha Kelly, Ryan Biddulph, and many more.

How Does Blogging Improve SEO in 2024?
Do blogs help with Google ranking?
Even though Google is starting to think less about backlinks, it still plays a huge role; especially links from credible (and related) websites.
I've leverage organic SEO and blogging strategies to attract over 1,800 backlinks to a single blog post on my blog.
Causing it to rank for top competitive keywords beating high-authoritative websites like HubSpot blog, Forbes.com, Jeffbullas.com, and more.
