    There is nothing more satisfying than doing SEO for a client that was very skeptical at first. Then after a few months your their favorite person and getting invited to family BBQs haha.
    That’s what I chase

    Take pleasure in the fact that all jobs are made up, and sleep easy.

    If there ever is an apocalypse, we’re not getting a ticket for the spaceship, that’s for sure. But so is everyone in the digital marketing space lol. “Let them sell their own stuff on Mars”

    SEO is like playing a football manager game where you’re tasked to win the league (#1 in Google). I love it!!

    But at times I got to realise the responsibility because have many clients reliant on my leads to pay their bills.

    So got to try and make sure we study everyday to innovate and stay two steps ahead of competition 🤯🔥📈

    I think this is common with knowledge work. You’re not holding anything tangible, but the business would absolutely notice if you stopped doing it

    I’ve never been unhappy in SEO.

    Except the 1 time I went FTE and I hated most of it!

    Being self employed and running SEO for so many brands taking down bigger brands through SEO has made me the happiest person and thats why I come here every day – to see if that can rub off on anyone else.!

    Respect how your work impacts real businesses and people though it feels virtual. Your skill shapes success, which truly matters youre far from made up.

    That’s what I like about it. Like the Wizard behind the curtain. I prefer to work alone and stay anonymous.

    My client treated me a meal at the end of this year for the work I have done. Leads grew up from 0 to 5 daily within 1 year. We will continue to work to get more leads.
