Most posts fail before they're written — the topic itself has no search demand, or it's too broad to rank against established sites.

A quick pre-writing checklist

• One primary keyword, one clear intent. Is the searcher trying to learn, compare, or buy? Write for that intent specifically.
• Answer the question in the first 100 words. Don't bury the answer — Google and readers both reward directness.
• Use real subheadings. Each ## should be something a person would actually search for on its own.
• Internal-link to your other posts once you have more than a handful — it keeps readers on-site and helps Google understand your site's topic clusters.

Where AdSense and the newsletter fit in

Every post page in this template already has:

• One in-article ad slot (<AdSlot placement="inline" />) placed after the second paragraph, where it doesn't interrupt the hook.
• A newsletter capture block at the end of the post, once the reader has gotten value and is more likely to convert.

You don't need to touch either — just keep writing posts, and both monetization surfaces are already wired in.
