- It’s a Skill That Businesses Love
Have you ever heard the idea that “if you know how to get a business more customers, you’ll never go broke?” I first heard this idea from Dan Kennedy in 2011, and it’s replayed in my mind thousands of times.
No skill is more valuable than getting a business more customers in a capitalistic society.
Yes, lawyers and doctors make a killing. But they only make money if customers are willing to invest in their services.
SEO is a vehicle for helping businesses score more customers (without paying for ads).
- It’s Extremely Lucrative
There are a few different types of people who can experience the lucrative nature of learning SEO:
The Solo Business Owner
99% of businesses can benefit from learning search engine optimization. Most business and website owners just don’t realize that you can do SEO successfully without hiring an expensive agency.
I’m speaking from experience because I’ve used SEO to grow every business I’ve launched online. As you might expect, it’s always the foundation of my business growth strategy.
I’ve never hired an agency to do my SEO because it’s unnecessary when you have the right SEO strategy—more on this in a second.
The Marketing (or SEO) Director
Want to build a successful in-house SEO team?
You need the right marketing strategy because otherwise, you’ll overhire and underdeliver.
But if you do it right, it’s much more profitable to keep your SEO campaigns in-house.
That’s why every digital marketing director should allocate resources to help your team members learn SEO.
The SEO Careerbuilder
Entry-level SEO specialists make around $50,000/year. No, you won’t become rich financially with this salary.
However, the skills you’ll learn in an agency or working in-house are foundational to building wealth with SEO.
You can climb the corporate ladder and earn as much as $166,475/year as an SEO director.
The SEO Entrepreneur
While you can earn a solid living working in-house, it’s nothing compared to becoming an SEO entrepreneur.
Remember, the traditional job route has an income ceiling. But owning an SEO business has unlimited earning potential.
No matter your reason for learning SEO, you should consider building projects where you’re the sole owner, like affiliate marketing and client SEO services.
Client SEO services are the best option if you want monthly cash flow to reinvest into other projects. To put it in perspective, clients pay my agency as low as $1,000/mo for SEO.
- It’s Location-Independent
I have countless SEO buddies who run full-time SEO businesses while traveling. But even if backpacking across the world and doing SEO isn’t your thing, learning it gives you freedom.
How much is freedom worth to you?
I knew SEO was the key to my freedom from the 9-5 grind and working a security job I hated.
I’m not dramatic when I say this because I’m living proof:
But you should learn SEO because it can help you grow any business, escape the 9-5, work from anywhere, and help you build financial freedom.
Who doesn’t want at least one of those things?
So please, excuse my excitement and hype train. I just know firsthand what learning SEO can do to transform your life.
I’ve experienced it myself and helped hundreds of people succeed with SEO.
And now it’s my turn to help you learn SEO (fast).
