so, i applied for every seo job in st louis and got one interview. i didn’t get the job.but i’m so grateful i didn’t because i decided to start my own seo business in 2013.i had zero business experience, zero connections, and no money (except for a credit card with a $500 limit).but i had a passion for seo and knew how to rank in google consistently.i decided to offer my skills to businesses so they could use seo to get more free traffic, leads, and customers from google.ready to see my crazy huge, 10x goal for my business?i wanted to make a whopping $3,000/mo with seo to be my own boss and work when and wherever i wanted.yes, i had very low expectations for myself.but i didn’t expect that i’d hit $3,000/mo within a few months of launching gotch seo.then i thought to myself:“why should i stop here?”so, i set my sights on the elusive $8,333 / mo goal (which is 6 figures per year).the crazy part is that i hit that goal in less than six months. here’s my profit from 2014:and now, ready for the shocker?gotch seo is now a 7-figure-per-year seo business (with 8 figures on the horizon).i had no funding. i didn’t sell lemonade as a child. and i got a 2.6 gpa in college.i’m not special, but i’m exceptional at taking action, failing, and learning through trial and error.here’s the good news:you don’t have to struggle like i did.the truth is you can have anything you want in life as long as you learn a skill that the market values.the more valuable the skill, the more you will earn.seo = an extremely valuable skill.why?simple:it helps businesses make more money.and as long as capitalism exists, there will never be a time when businesses don’t want more leads, clients, and revenue.that’s why i’m so bullish on client seo.it’s an amazing way to earn income online without experience, money, or building a product.that’s why i wrote an entire book about it called the seo entrepreneur.here’s the truth:you only need a couple of seo clients to kill your day job, like jared: think about it:if you get just two businesses to pay you $2,500 / mo for seo, you’ll be making $5,000 / mo.and once you get more experience under your belt, you can demand higher retainers.that means you can get paid $10,000 / mo for seo like i do:but let’s face it:anyone can tell a story online.and unfortunately, the internet is filled with fake gurus promising all kinds of stuff.so here’s my obligatory social proof:over the last decade, i’ve led hundreds of successful seo campaigns in the most competitive industries like health, legal, b2b, and saas.
