God job! When I do come across SEO needs, I outsource it all. Not MY cup of tea. But I have no doubt someone dedicated that specializes in it can make tons of $$$. Congrats.

Thanks

Dude, if you can understand what he was saying, you need to change fields and become a cryptologist.

Then that says a lot that someone with broken english makes more money than 99.9% of people on this forum. I think anyone with basic knowledge of the english language could understand the OP. I have clients with worse typing skills than him, LOL.

I think this is cool. Someone who is actually doing stuff, and has odds against him. Dude is doing great things.

Nice job... almost 1 mill a year.. so in 2012 you're going to be a millionaire right?

Hi Warriors,

I would like to share a video with you at rme2011 on Vimeo .

I find that offline marketing to businesses is the best business model for me.

My product and services are SEO and lead generation to local businesses in Australia.

However being very good at SEO is a very important part of my business model.

Believe it or not I'm from Indonesia and I have to deal with the lack of English skills, very slow and poor internet connections. Regardless however, my marketing web site nathansaputra.com is ranked on Google.com.au for the keyword SEO service and that makes a big difference.

I also have two other websites. One is nathansaputra.info and it can be found on google.com.sg. using the keyword SEO services. (I use .info to compete with a seo company in Singapore.) The other site is listed on google.com.uk using the keyword again SEO services and it is nathansaputra.org.

If you learn SEO you will dominate your local market share and do well as I have. I hope the video above inspires you.

Wishing you the best,
Nathan Saputra

P.S. I have enclosed a picture of what a typical house looks like in Australia.

.......................

Hey Nathan that's a great story. You take away a lot of excuses that many offer. I find your story inspiring. PM or email me if you can.

$796,000 or $79,600? Either way, pretty damn awesome. One's pretty cool enough, the other number is pure sweetness. Especially when someone has picked on his communication skills in English and he has that going against him. Kudos nathansaputra!

Watch his video .... You see the 796K. He uses Saasu accounting program for his records apparently and he takes you to his account summary.

...but really, what does a 'typical' Australian house look like - brick, weatherboard, stone cottage, ranch style, federation villa, the outhouse (dunny)??? :confused:

Here in SA that house looks pretty typical of what you'd find in slightly upmarket, new Adelaide suburbs...but that changes in different areas!

Anyway, congratulations Nathan...that's great to see you're doing so well!

yeah, Indonesians have much worrying about paypal, they can limit any account anytime without "permission".. paypal is horror as the matter of the fact.. they have limiting 2 of my account..

how about check? could "old school" people paying with check to a long traveling country? (i.e. London to Medan, Sumatera?) hahah lol

Eh, commenting on someone's "broken" English trying to motivate people is pretty rude, and unfair. I can understand a "spammer" just trying to spam a link or self promote, but he is not.

I think it is great that even with all adversities, he still "manned" up and made it happen. 90% of this forum as far less adversity to over come, and they don't.

Good on you sir, congrats on all of your success, you deserve it.

The first 2 out of 3 client work you put in there are your wife's websites, and the third is the website you are showing the income for in the video (probably your own site).

So, if I understand this correctly you are optimizing sites for your own and not for other clients?

You do show up on Google results though... I guess then perhaps you could convert a whole lot better with better copy and English on your website [eg: you say "what we offers" the very top] and if you had real clients in the portfolio.

Anyhow, congrats and good luck for the year ahead.

yea , i put 2 of my wife website and not update the portfolio til now , but thats is alright , seo service is not profitable now , its different from the last 2 years.

is not my hand writing on my website , i buy content writer

the most profitable concept for me now :

SEO + leadsfeeding + dropshipping ( no affiliate )

success for you
