  • Whatever Shaunda tells me to do regarding SEO, I do it. The proof is in the pudding that this woman knows exactly what she’s talking about when it comes to all things keywords, monetizing blog content and SEO. She’s built and expanded multiple websites, with hundreds of thousands of page views across multiple niches. With her own knowledge and expertise, she’s monetized each of them in a relatively short period of time, putting to work exactly what she knows to do best. Whenever she talks about SEO, I take copious notes and then follow her same steps.”
