The job web sites - at a time of increasing unemployment - appear to be full of very well paid positions for SEO middle management, an a lots of advertisements for SEO training course. The reason for this is that basically, there are few folks in the UK who are really talented in SEO - and for that reason, those that are tend to decide to work for themselves without reference to of the large amount of money they could earn working for an SEO firm.
The main reason that only a few peoplehave real SEO abilities, is that there are only a few SEO training course courses available.
I think the reason most SEO consultants don't offer to coach, is that coaching is much tougher work than just doing SEO - and at the same time, when coaching new SEO advisors, we are making real competition for ourselves - and now in the United Kingdom, there is not a lot of competition from REAL SEO consultant who actually do the work, and I believe most specialists would accept that they'd favor it that way - it's difficult promoting a clients website when you're up against another professional, so really for us, the less true SEO professionals out there, the better!
So - most SEO experts are self taught. My coaching courses are one to is to grasp that include a year of help & support.
Are SEO training course courses absolutely necesarry.
No - they're not, however finding a professional SEO consultant to train you, will help you to take a big jump towards becoming an SEO consultant, drastically reducing the learning curve that most SEO pros have to go through.
What sort of SEO training course course should I look for?
Look for a coaching course which is run by precise current SEO professionals, people who're doing this for who're doing this for a living.
How much should I expect to pay?
SEO is a particularly valuable talent, and a good SEO specialist can make a large amount of cash, so logical thinking will tell you that no SEO expert is going to offer to train you for a touch of money, they are in effect coaching a future competitor, so will only make more money than they would make in the same quantity of time working for a customer, otherwise what would be the incentive to offer coaching courses? So, if you do find a course which seems very inexpensive - just think logically you and the cost of such a SEO training course, and why such valuable coaching is being offered for bargain prices.
There are some acceptable reasons that a course would be offered for a but there's a course that was teaching a number of folk at a previous time, would enable a lower price - but in my viewpoint SEO taught in a class is rarely going to be as valuable as one to one coaching with a professional SEO.
Remember the initial few weeks of driving, frightful right?
I continue to support folks for a year since the course, included in the price of the course - and I offer packages for continued support after a year.
