I think having confidence in your abilities and the ability to learn fast in an ever changing industry is important to being a great SEO, particularly if you are working for yourself.

I think the hardest part starting out is juggling all the tasks associated with running a business in general. Not only do you have to deal with finding clients and doing the work, you also have invoicing, marketing, and system design to work with as well.

When I first started freelancing I tried out a few freelance sites but I found it a real waste of time tbh. Serious buyers don’t post seo projects on those sites.

For me networking at conferences, linkedin etc has been the best way to find decent jobs.

Don’t forget to include those who also think they are “great” by boasting mostly about one central project – their own private blog.

Well, that’s one way to do it. Another way to do it is the complete opposite and if you do it that way I reckon you’ll end up far more successful in the long run. I’m a successful freelance SEO and I havent BS’d once. Credibility is the way to long term success every time. Take solace in the fact that the “so called gurus” won’t get any repeat business.

And blogs are great for SEO IMO! Especially with the way Google are changing and putting more emphasis on recent results/fresh content (the design changes that we’ve seen recently).

The real SEOs that take the biscuit IMO are the ones who claim to be great when achieving high end rankings for low competition, geographical keywords.

To be successful as a business in SEO – you do not need results at all. It’s all about perception. That is important. For example there are authors and ‘gurus’ out there that are pretty mediocre – but big companies hire them at a premium become they are ‘famous’.

Most don’t disclose their results. Their sad excuse: “We are protecting the client’s privacy ..” *cof*

They waffle about fad SEO terms, about data mining, about trends etc etc conversions, bounce rates and it all feels pretty good – naive clients pay a fortune for that. Then they force the poor client to have a Blog. (Oh stuff blogs we have too many already!) They force the poor client to twitter like mad.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching the charade.
