Thinking about becoming a SEO Freelancer

Any SEO Freelancers in the group? I`m learning about SEO and thinking about becoming a SEO Freelancer. I want to know if it is possible to earn a full time income this way? What are the ways to earn money doing SEO freelancing? I`m guessing that the first way is to make a website about my seo service and try to rank that website to the top so people and companies can find and use my seo service. Is this a possible way? Would my clients limited to my own country or would they be internationally? The other way I can think of is to find work through Upwork. How hard is it to find work there? I heard that some people could earn a lot by just freelancing through Upwork, is that true? The third way I can think of is selling a seo gig on like Fivver or other online marketplaces. But in Fivver the gigs are very cheap so I don`t earn much. And most seo gigs on Fivver are not that effective. So maybe there are other better online marketplaces were you can provide high quality seo services and charge a bit more? Above are the 3 ways I can think of on how to be a seo freelancer. I`m not sure if they really could work out? Or are there other ways to be a seo freelancer and earn a full time income?

  • Roma Alloui: Welcome to Dumb SEO Questions Ka Ke Huang If I understood you correctly, you`ve just started learning about SEO and if that`s correct, then I recommend you continue holding to the job you have now while learning SEO and getting more experience. Building a website is also a good start because you can implement and test your acquired SEO skills and see the result, then take action accordingly. Just don`t make it your only source of income. You can target as many countries as you want with customers that speak the same language you are fluent in. One thing you need to understand is optimizing your site for US customers is not the same as optimizing it for an international audience. Again, before you can be an SEO freelancer, you need to learn about SEO as much as you can, test the water and make any required changes till you get where you can actually offer SEO services. I hope this helps!
  • Belinda Irvine: Yes it is but like anything don`t do it for the money alone. Do it because you love the topic then the money may follow.
