Warrior Experiences Working in Search Marketing Industry!

4 replies
Hello warriors,

I've being away for a short while (about 2 years on and off) as I decided to get myself a job in the search marketing industry as I wasn't making enough money in the "make money online" market in internet marketing!

I wonder if there's anyone here who has worked in search marketing? Its a fast growing industry and my first thoughts was that...if anyone knows how to manipulate SEO or PPC you shouldn't be working for anyone?!

Its being a great experience and I have learnt a great deal!! I have a portfolio of websites I am building my income from now...I am a lot calmer and putting some sober planning, discipline and focus into it.

Funny thing is I made up my SEO experience to get myself a job...and my interview got me the job as my strategy was to go in and show them all the theory I had learnt from all you gurus lol (i'm grinning now!)

Has anybody had any experience of working as a search engine optimization expert or a PPC expert? What has your experience being?

I have prepared a small report as a "giving back to the forum" thing. I decided to make it a WSO though....so you only have to pay a few pennies (in my signature)

    I too thought about doing this as an employee rather than an entrepreneur...

    I even saw a local job listing for 'seo copywriter'...

    the job posting says they want 4 yrs of college... even though I could stomp the crap out of who ever they might hope to get, whoever they got rid of, or who ever left them for greener pastures...

    they would't even let me past the nazi at the front desk.

    their loss, not mine

    4 years of college?! That's definitely strange....

    In my experience before I got the job...most interviews I did were all about experience! What budget did you manage as a PPC expert? How many keywords did you manage? Can you demonstrate success? Are you Google Advert qualified.

    SEO questions were like...what portfolio of first page positions do you have?

    I got the job after I took my previous experiences into play and demonstrated with SEO elite how I would execute an organic campaign on one existing client!

    My thoughts and intentions still remain thesame...once I hit my target income off my website portfolio...thats it!

    The experience has being great by all measurements....
