Is it worth learning SEO

[ruhulamin21]

Yes. If you have strong search engine optimization skills then you can work for others and you can work for your own business or blogs.

It's a good time to learn and I recommend that you learn and do it yourself. In the long term you will have assured aspects that will help you to orient yourself to the market.

Its the most important skill you must learn if you want to succeed online. You just can’t do without it,

I dont want to say SEO is dead but with the recent google update i dont think it's worth to start learning it now

 

[Jimmy newtron]

It depends on the next big google update. At the moment a lot of good websites are affected by last year's update so even experienced SEOs are turning to other sources of traffic.

what others sources could they turn to though, most traffic comes from google in terms of intentional search

 

[IWannaTaco]

Depends.

If you don't have much on your plate learn it, if you have tons of other responsibilities, pay for it.

All depends on what you value your time or your money.

my honest opinion from starting with zero seo knowledge to taking in as much information as i possibly could on the topic, is you have to do so if you want any possibility of being a leader in your niche organic traffic wise. if we're going to be honest, no one on this forum or otherwise is trying to make you rich - they just want to line their own pockets, so u have to make sure u have a comprehensive strategy to your SEO and buy only practical packages that complement the work you're doing.

there's many scammers who are more than willing to build out terrible links for high prices, so if you are a newbie you wouldn't know any better as it is.

Is it worth learning SEO or just paying someone to do it for you, if so what are the options. Can it be outsourced to cheaper, non western countries ?

SEO is a legit industry, but far too many "SEO" agencies are just a scam. The thing is, anyone can claim to be an "SEO expert". If you outsource it cheap, then chances are you get what you pay for. You know your product best. You should do the SEO yourself for maximum benefits and relevance.

It worths. You can apply SEO for your own blogs or you can sell SEO services. Both of these are highly profitable.

Some have good success with pinterest, others with reddit. Depends on the niche. But there are many traffic sources worth testing, you just have to figure out where would your readers go search for the info they can't find on google anymore.

Educating yourself about SEO can help you improve your website's visibility on search engines and save costs in the long run. But , if you prefer, you can also hire someone to do it for you. Outsourcing to non-Western countries may be cheaper, but make sure to research and choose reputable service providers.

SEO is a best topic for learning in today's market. People who learned and work with seo has the biggest life changing moments. it is a valuable skill. You can earn a lot from seo services.

 

[vsnlap]

The more you learn the less you will have to pay to others to do it for you...and also you will be able to choose services you buy more wisely.

 

[Sarah Mathews]

Based on my knowledge, Learning SEO and do it on your own is really worthy and you will learn a lot when you do it by yourself.

 

[Stifmeister]

Always do it yourself, never strive to be an expert on everything, but without dipping your toes, the "experts" will keep trying to sell you snakeoil.

If you know nothing about the subject, you will most definitely get ripped off as you wont even be able to properly measure the results of the service.

Do it yourself, get familiar with how it works and start doing it yourself, whilst hiring experts on the side to keep you on the right path.

 

[RMX]

It's worth investing your time and even SEO is dead like everyone is saying (which is not by the way in pov), gaining knowledge always helps you.

If you have the time and inclination, learning SEO yourself can be empowering and cost-effective. If not, outsourcing to professionals or agencies, including those in non-Western countries for cost savings, is a viable option.

 

[She Hulk]

I would say it is worth Learning SEO but do it by yourself is good.

 

[clubitvn]

I won't tell learning SEO is not worth because it totally depends on how you take it.
It helps you to understand how search engine works even you can built a career
