When I first started offering my services to clients I had absolutely zero intention of offering Search Engine Optimization Services.
I had been doing SEO for my own sites for years, but it had never occurred to me that others were interested in it for their own sites. I really thought it was a right of passage for webmasters and netpreneurs to go on this journey themselves.
THAT is the kind of thinking one develops when they are immersed in the Internet Marketing world for years.
I came to find out that most people have better things to do.
I just wanted my sites to make money, and because I had tried the typical Search Engine Optimization Firms (the kind that rip off the vast majority of unsuspecting boobs who are new to all of this.
So, once I realized that “submitting my site to hundreds of search engines” was crap, and that the “get top ranking in Google in 48 hours” was crap as well, I got down to business.
Three years later, I quit my 100K/yr day job and did….nothing.
Why not?
My sites were doing that well.
But then a strange thing happened to me. I got bored and thought I would offer my services to others.
But I was more interested in offering Google Adwords management. I love to brag that I rock at Google Adwords, and they love my 6-15k per month as well. (Even though my sites rank in the top ten for alot of very competitive keywords, PPC is a huge part of my overall Search Engine Marketing Strategy that I employ.
I also had developed a call tracking solution that integrates with Google Conversion tracking, so I paired these two up, added a web based CRM package and went to selling my services.
But, everyone kept telling me to shut up about that stuff and wanted to know more about SEO (Search Engine Optimization for the uninitiated).
My first month in offering SEO was a 6k month, with NO advertising, no website, no nothing.
Henceforth I offer my search engine optimization services.
We’ll be discussing other Search Engine Optimization Firms on a regular basis here, the good, the bad, and the downright criminal.
Stay tuned…
