Trying to Build SEO Company

Not to mention the harm that you would do do real people who real businesses depend on the website

You could always hire Yukon to teach you the basics all the way to the expert material i heard he does it for Free on his days off. lol

Just kidding.

Anyways you should atleast know the basics about the business you are trying to get into. That's like me trying to start a used car sale service. It just doesn't make sense you know?

Yeah maybe a year if he studies seo and test stuff. I had to learn by trial and error. I would rarely listen to anyone about seo unless it was someone like yukon or mike or just someone who knows what they are talking about. You can learn a lot from the seo section here but there is always a lot of bad information hate to say it. But your best bet is to literally click on yukons profile and read all his posts. Yeah he has like 18,000 of them but just about every post he makes has something to do with SEO and it's very thought out responses. Give it a go and learn SEO my friend! Quickly before google decides to have the top 10 nothing bud PAID ADS ooo lord that would be terrible for my business LOL

It appears as if you replied without actually reading my post, or simply chose to ignore what I said. Your entire argument only makes sense if you ignore the OPs repeated statement that the plan is to stick in his/her own skill area, and hire out the SEO. I don't recall any mention of Fiverr or WSOs, or any cut rate SEO service; it seems the OP is in the research process in order to learn enough to hire some solid talent.

6 months or a year before being able to sell the service? No, because the learning curve for knowing how to hire experts is considerably shorter than that for becoming one.

I have a friend who is making a ton of money selling high end commercials, and expensive music videos, and is moving into art films, (with an excellent short film done already, and making the festival rounds), and laying groundwork for a line of high end designer handbags costing in the middle five figures. He is in the process of meeting with multi-million dollar investors interested in funding some bigger (full length, Hollywood style) films.

Very little of what he sells would be possible if he followed your logic; he'd have to go to film school, become a screen writer, be an expert at running complicated movie equipment that rents for $25k or more per day, learn to design and craft handbags, learn to act, etc. Nobody does all that, but real people who have the entrepreneurial dream to go big, ignore advice like yours, and find a way to get things done that they aren't able to do. Nobody has time to learn everything, but if you want to do something big, you simply learn enough to farm most of it out. A big part of going big is simply developing a network that includes talent, investors, etc.

Is he scamming the clients? Not at all; he did learn enough to know what the major pieces of a project are, and did networking and due diligence, and now he has many models on call, many film people, knows the industry standards for pricing, knows how to get investors a decent deal, but they have money, and don't mind shelling it out for an ambitious project. He gets the job done, yet never went to film school, can't act, can't model, isn't even a pro photographer.

Just by having the relationships with pro models that want work, he's able to make some of his money as an agent; people know they can call him and ask for models with a certain look for a project, and he takes a cut. Would you tell him he should have gone to modeling school before taking money to provide models?
