taxonomy¶

Focusing on the taxonomy and the structure of your content, particularly through keywords and topics that cover your wide range of interests, is a great strategy. It ensures that the content you're creating is not only vast but also deeply connected to your passions and expertise. When it comes to managing such a broad array of topics—aiming for one million—it's crucial to have a clear, scalable structure that can support growth and facilitate discovery.

For the "site a day" concept, such as developing a structure for a site like mattsian.com, here’s how you could approach it:

Establish a Core Taxonomy: Begin by defining a set of high-level categories that represent your main interests and the fields you're most knowledgeable about. This could range from AI, tech, movies, travel, to lists. Think of these categories as the pillars of your site.
Develop Subcategories: Within each high-level category, identify subcategories or topics that allow for more granular exploration of each area. This helps in organizing content more precisely and aids users in navigating to their areas of interest.
Implement a Keyword Strategy: For each topic or subcategory, list out a set of keywords that are relevant. These keywords will not only help in structuring content but also in optimizing it for search engines, making your content more discoverable.
Content Types and Formats: Determine the types of content you'll create for each category and subcategory. This might include pages, lists, images, and videos. Tailoring the content type to the topic can enhance engagement and value for the audience.
Automation and Templates: To manage the volume of content efficiently, consider developing templates for each type of content you’re planning to create. Automate parts of the content creation process where possible, such as using AI for initial drafts, image generation, and video scripting.
Feedback and Iteration: Use analytics and user feedback to refine your taxonomy and content strategy over time. Understanding what resonates with your audience can help in focusing your efforts on the most impactful areas.

In your case, the minimum viable structure could start with a few high-level categories that cover the breadth of your interests and expertise. From there, you can expand and refine as you generate more content and gain insights into what your audience engages with the most.

13 sites¶

Alright, starting with the foundation of having 13 sites, but simplifying our example to 10 for clarity, we can develop a scalable and structured approach to your content strategy across these sites. Each site featuring 10 categories or themes provides a robust framework to diversify and deepen the content. Let’s break this down further:

13 Sites Overview: Begin by establishing the unique focus or theme of each of the 13 sites. This ensures each site has a clear purpose and target audience, which can guide the content creation process and keyword strategy.
10 Categories per Site: For each site, define 10 distinct categories or themes that are relevant to the site’s overall focus. These categories will serve as the main content pillars, helping organize the site and making it easier for users to navigate to topics they’re interested in.
Content Types and Distribution:
Page A Day (PAD): For a more in-depth exploration of a single topic, idea, or story. This could be a detailed article, a comprehensive guide, or an insightful analysis.
List A Day (LAD): Curated lists that provide value through ranking, comparison, or collection of items, places, ideas, etc., related to each category.
Image A Day: Visual content tailored to complement the pages or lists, enhancing engagement and sharing potential.
Video A Day (VAD): Videos that summarize, explain, or provide additional perspectives on the day’s content, adding a dynamic element to the content strategy.
Keyword Strategy and SEO: For each category within the sites, develop a set of keywords that are highly relevant and can attract the right audience. Use these keywords to optimize your content for search engines, ensuring it reaches the widest possible audience.
Automation and Scalability:
Templates: Create templates for pages, lists, images, and videos to streamline the content creation process. This will help maintain consistency across your sites and categories.
Content Generation: Explore automation tools and AI-assisted content creation to efficiently produce high-quality content. This is especially useful for generating images and drafting initial content outlines.
Engagement and Community Building:
Engage with your audience through comments, social media, and other platforms to gather feedback and ideas for new content.
Consider community-driven content, where users can contribute their own lists, articles, or images, adding depth and diversity to your sites.
Analytics and Refinement:
Use web analytics to track the performance of your content across different sites and categories.
Identify high-performing topics and formats, and use these insights to refine your content strategy and focus on what works best.

Starting simple with this structured approach allows you to manage the complexity of operating multiple sites with diverse content. It ensures each site remains focused and relevant to its intended audience while maximizing the potential for engagement and growth. As you progress, you can adjust and expand upon this strategy based on the insights you gather and the feedback you receive.

Proceess¶

If we're structuring around 10 sites, with each site having 10 categories, and we're aiming for a million list items, the breakdown of keywords will depend on how we allocate these items across the categories and sites. Let’s outline a basic structure:

10 Sites x 10 Categories per Site = 100 Categories Total

To distribute a million list items across these categories evenly, we would have:

1,000,000 List Items / 100 Categories = 10,000 List Items per Category

Now, if each list item is considered a topic (or closely associated with a keyword), then effectively, you'd be looking at a vast array of topics. However, it's more realistic to consider that each category will have a set of keywords or topics that these list items fall under.

Establishing Keywords:¶

Keywords per Category: To create meaningful content, having a manageable number of keywords or topics per category is crucial. Let's say you aim for 100 primary keywords per category to guide the creation of these list items.
Total Primary Keywords: 100 Categories x 100 Keywords per Category = 10,000 Primary Keywords

Subtopics per Keyword: Each primary keyword can have subtopics, which can help further organize the list items. For simplicity, if each primary keyword has 10 subtopics, this multiplies the range of content you can cover within each category.
Total Keywords Including Subtopics: 10,000 Primary Keywords x 10 Subtopics = 100,000 Keywords/Subtopics

This approach allows you to cover a broad range of topics with depth and specificity, enhancing the relevance and value of your content.

Implementation Strategy:¶

Keyword Research: Start with thorough keyword research within each category to identify your 100 primary keywords. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs to find keywords that are both relevant and have a good search volume.
Content Planning: Plan your content around these keywords, ensuring you're creating material that fills gaps in the current market or provides unique perspectives. This will also help in SEO optimization.
Content Creation and Distribution: With your keywords as guides, develop content that appeals to your target audience. Utilize the Page A Day, List A Day, Image A Day, and Video A Day formats to keep your sites dynamic and engaging.
Review and Adapt: Monitor the performance of your keywords in driving traffic and engagement. Adjust your strategy based on analytics and feedback, possibly introducing new keywords or focusing more on high-performing ones.

By structuring your approach around a defined set of keywords and topics, you can create a coherent content strategy that is both manageable and scalable, providing a solid foundation for reaching your goal of a million list items.
