Make a Living Being an SEO Specialist

SEO (search engine optimization) is one of the most lucrative businesses today. There are thousands of websites being created everyday and most of them are requiring an SEO specialist for their internet marketing campaigns. Business owners are willing to pay thousands of dollars to people who can help them improve their Google ranking.

How can you earn money from this industry? Basically, you have to understand first what SEO is all about. Let's say you have an online business that sells weight loss products. For you to be able to maximize your online earnings from sales you need two things:

• Highly targeted visitors to your website
• A SEO expert who can help you generate traffic.

In simpler words, they need to get their sites on top of Google search results to have a better online visibility. Being on top of Google ranking means less expenses in advertisements and sponsorship. As a person with expertise in SEO, you can do the following to earn cash and make a living:

• Create your own website. This must be optimized for search engines and must have a high Google Page Rank. To do this, you have to build backlinks to your site by posting comments in forums and sites with related topics. Once your blog or web page already has a stable position in major search engines, you have the options to sell the site or use it for affiliate marketing.

• Provide SEO services to other webmasters. Use your skills to earn money online. Most blog owners are too busy to think about SEO and some of them simply have no idea about how to optimize their sites. Take advantage of these opportunities to build an online career.

• Create a profile in freelancing sites. Post your portfolio in oDesk and Freelance. You can charge employers per hour or per project. Some SEO specialists are earning up to $27 per hour depending on skills and experience. The intricacy and complexity of the tasks are also considered in determining the salary of the contractor.

On the other hand, here are some skills that you need to possess in order to become a qualified SEO expert:

1. The ability to create profiles in high-ranking forum sites and use signature links to build backlinks
2. The ability to search for .gov and .edu blogs and use signature links to build incoming links
3. The ability to write unique articles using keywords and LSI (latent semantic indexing) words to boost SEO rank
4. The ability to write ezine articles and submit guest posts to high traffic relevant blogs to increase blog site popularity

Without the skills discussed above, it is nearly impossible to build a career in this industry.

These are just some ideas to make money online by being a SEO specialist. There are other methods that you can use to generate cash from this field. If you want to make it as a full-time job, always update your portfolio with your recent and current projects to give a good impression to clients and customers.
