SEO Skills Can Significantly Boost Earning Potential. SEO Specialists Often Earn Competitive Salaries!
Introductory warning: All the topics I cover on my websites are related to online business, and as such require you to read and absorb the content carefully, to the end. I try to cover the topics with as little text as possible, but sometimes, due to the complexity of the topics, it is impossible to explain something in just a few paragraphs. So, if you don't have the necessary desire to find out, and the necessary patience, you can immediately close this page.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and means that it refers to the optimization, or adjustment, of web pages so that they are better ranked and displayed in the search results of these search engines.
So, in simple words, when someone types in Google (the search engine) some term, which is important, and which someone's website deals with, and if Google shows that page on the first page at the top of the results, there is a high chance that the visitor will click on some of those results at the top and bring the visitor to that web page.
I don't need to explain to you how powerful it is, and how much site owners fight for these positions, because they are often new potential clients, or what they would simply say - more money.
Now it is not difficult to conclude that if you learn about SEO, and how this is achieved, you can be in high demand and useful to many website owners and agencies, who are looking for such people to help them, and pay you well.
Of course, you will ask questions: is it difficult, and where to learn it?
SEO is not necessarily difficult to learn. It mostly depends on you, on where you choose to study, whether you are ready to invest time and energy. It will be difficult at first, because you will probably get overwhelmed with data and be confused, but over time the picture will come together and things will become clearer and more natural.
Of course, here, as in everything in life, the most important thing is perseverance and consistency, which I would personally express as very important characteristics for success in business and life in general.
I responsibly claim that SEO is still feasible, that it can be applied, because there is still a lot of ignorance, but that you must be ready to invest significant energy to understand everything and become able to apply what you have learned, so that your actions give results.
If, today, you are not ready to constantly learn and keep up with a topic (especially in the online world), then you simply have no chance.
The decision is up to you!
Basically there is a division into three levels of SEO experts, namely:
Of course, since I'm assuming you're not already an SEO expert, or don't feel like one, you have to start at the Junior level of knowledge. The good thing is that it's easiest to become a junior and the easiest to apply everything, and you can still be very useful and usable to many people, so even with that knowledge you can achieve a lot, and of course, continue to progress towards higher levels of the SEO profession. When you become an SEO Assistant Junior, you will be ready to review a website with various tools, which you will learn to use: to give precise and clear recommendations on what website owners, their developers and designers should apply, in order to have a better chance of ranking. Therefore, you will most often do a so-called SEO audit and write instructions on what programmers and designers should do, so that Google prefers that site and displays it as close to the top of the search results as possible. So, to be clear, you are not making the changes to the sites, you are just giving instructions on what to do.
I'm going to suggest a few ways to learn SEO and how you can most easily feel capable of doing such work, and more importantly, that your actions produce results on the sites you'll be working on.
1. I suggest you check out the list of SEO services, which can help you learn SEO tactics and strategies first hand. Namely, these are services that many use to improve the SEO of websites. Feel free to explore each of the sites a bit, and each of those sites has some sort of free trial.
Use these free trials to assess from the user's point of view what kind of results you can achieve with them and whether that might be enough for you, to achieve some result with just one tool, and create a picture of what to do next.
2. I suggest you also visit the SEOLaxy school, where you will find all the necessary courses to become an SEO expert from the beginning to the highest level.
If you are interested in starting a career as an SEO virtual assistant, I suggest the following steps:
SEO for small local websites can be a good place to start, as this may be the easiest place to get your first results. You probably have a lot of friends or acquaintances who have a local business and would probably be very interested in being better seen on Google, when someone searches for a local service that they provide. For example: Lawyer Chicago, Plumber London, Dentist Berlin...
This job can be done remotely, so you don't have to limit yourself to your city, country... you can work from anywhere to anywhere. You practically don't have those kinds of restrictions. Let's say that you have in mind and that you can sometimes use the difference in the level of standards, so you can contact me, who can do SEO, and I live in Serbia (East Europe) to do a service for a US client for a lower price, because simply, the cost of living in In Serbia, they are lower than in the US, I can afford it, and everyone is satisfied: the client will get a quality service for less money, you can earn a commission, and I will earn by charging for the work itself.
The prices of an ordinary SEO audit range from 500 to 15,000 dollars depending on the size and complexity of the site being worked on, and SEO can bring a multiple increase in profits if it is successfully applied and increases the visibility of the site on Google.
Of course, if you are reading this and you don't want to become an SEO expert, but you need such services, you can contact me by email to establish a business partnership, so that I can provide SEO optimization services for you or your clients. I also suggest that you visit my Service page, where you can learn more about the services I can provide.
