My Journey

Hi, I’m Surendar Kuselakumar and this is my blog.

I’m a self-taught blogger who loves SEO and find peace with ranking articles well on search engines like Google.

I have been doing this for the past 4 years.

I created my first website back in April 2020. I didn’t know about the power of blogging at that time. I just used to create some YouTube videos related to education and drive traffic to my website through it.

I was able to monetize my channel and website in few months. In September 2020, I made $170.84 with both YouTube and Adsense. This is my first online earning. I know this isn’t a lot but it was enough to boost my confidence.

Here is a snapshot from my Adsense account.

Slowly, when I started learning more about making money online, I got to know about blogging. It was actually more interesting to me than I anticipated.

Then I analyzed a ton of blogs and how those creators make content and money. That is when i got to know about this super power combination, high-value blog, SEO and affiliate marketing.

During my analysis, I found that all those blog content was unique in one way or other. And it was valuable as well. So i decided to follow this path of high value original content creation for my website rather than just driving traffic from YouTube content.

I concentrated on creating more content for my website and also made sure it is relevant and useful to my existing audience.

It wasn’t easy but I loved to do it.

This is a long time game. So I had to wait, wait and wait to see some results. But eventually it happened, I was able to see some organic traffic from Google to my website.

I would love to show you what happened in the early stages in 2020, 2021 and 2022 but I lost that data when Google Universal Analytics was replaced by GA4. So here is a snapshot of my first website’s traffic acquisition report in 2023.

So I was able to grow my first website’s organic search traffic from few hundred users to 118,000 users and it got 210,000 sessions in the 2023 calendar year.

Now I earn money through Ads and affiliate marketing with that website. My first blog website still has a long way to go so I’ll also be working on it along with this blog.

I have a learnt a lot in this process. I created this blog www.surendarsespace.com to share my experience, learnings and thoughts about blogging and things around it.

So this is my story with blogging. I’ll update with my personal story soon.

There’s a lot of work behind a blog. But its all worth it if you love to do it.

If you’re thinking about starting a blog like this, I’m here to help you with it.
