GuestJanuary 12, 2026 at 8:34 pmThere 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 -

GuestJanuary 12, 2026 at 8:41 pmSEO 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 🤯🔥📈

GuestJanuary 12, 2026 at 10:41 pmI think this is common with knowledge work. You’re not holding anything tangible, but the business would absolutely notice if you stopped doing it

GuestJanuary 12, 2026 at 11:10 pmI’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.!

GuestJanuary 13, 2026 at 1:03 amThat’s what I like about it. Like the Wizard behind the curtain. I prefer to work alone and stay anonymous.

GuestJanuary 13, 2026 at 2:18 amMy 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.
