About

Meet the founder

I’m Victoria Kurichenko, the founder of Self Made Millennials, an SEO content strategist who grows and monetizes websites.

What started as a personal blog evolved into an SEO media brand where I publicly document how my SEO content strategy works in practice, from keyword research and content planning to rankings, traffic, and revenue.

I believe SEO works best when it’s built around real experience, clear systems, and genuine value, not fluff, shortcuts, or generic AI output.

In a world where AI-generated content floods the web, I believe in creating content that resonates, inspires, and matches what people are truly searching for.

When your content truly serves people, rankings follow naturally.

Real stories, real impact
