Whos is Actually Being Successful with a SEO Business?

[cplayers]

Hi Warriors,

Who is actually being successful with a SEO Business, does anyone have suggestions or good resources to start this type of business? I am trying to locate some legitimate information that can assist a person with starting a SEO business. Who has the complete package, including the website set up, and all of the other tools necessary to become a local SEO Star.

Thanks,
Cplayers

Are you asking people to brag?

I mean, you want to work in the SEO industry and you want to LEARN SEO first?
Mmm...
My advise is to try to make your sites to rank 1st and then once you learn about the way Google Algorithm works then continue building your own sites.

Once you have 100 sites ranking 1st and understand exactly how search engines works, then move to offer SEO services.

The last thing you want to do is to engage in a contract for SEO and not be able to provide results or even worse screw the ranking of your client.

I make a living from SEO - by the way. good luck mate

I like your response, but what happens after you learn how to get your 100 sites to the top? How do you know what to charge for your service? How do you get the forms? What is the best way to market your business?

There are a few great WSO's that will tell you everything someone new to the SEO business would want to know. I'd would start there if starting from scratch.

I am sorry but you sound like a plumber.
Did you really wait till you had a hundred #1 rankings (rhetorical)?

Partner up with a SEO firm or expert. You could do a split.

The difference between success or failure usually isn't knowledge - It's action.

CD -

I learned everything about SEO here:

SEO Course For Newbies - Comprehensive SEO Guide

Best of all when you buy she gives you a free 15 minute phone call to ask her any questions.

Not bad for less than $15 bucks.

And no I don't make a dime from this. She is a fellow warrior and very helpful.
