How to start practicing SEO?

You will contact for SEO experts!!!

you have promising skill, that's one thing for sure, but selling is something else because I think you
have an obligation to deliver what you've promised to your client. Get some SEO experts service that
match your SEO business plan, do a reseller first until you can stand on your own feet. That will do good for you
I think.

Its best that you first rank your own sites, using different techniques learnt on this forum before you start taking on clients.

Okay I plan on creating a blog (don't know what it will be about, but may be economic development in Afghanistan or something) and have that to start SEO. Can you give me some tips on starting and learning enough in order to optimize local websites? I got a client for $300 a month and I don't even know what I'm doing. I read some posts here and around and called a local landscaping service and they actually bought it.

Hi,

My number one rule is that if you don't know what you are doing associate yourself with people that do. My take on this matter, depending on your learning curve, is understanding on what you actually need to archive, understand what set of skills you need this person that will help you (or company - but less likely considering that for $300 is nothing that any company would get their hands to).

Get to the point of what is it that you are looking for, invest in yourself with this sale, and gain experience to cut costs in the upcoming months. You will not profit as of right now, but you will build a relationship.

tl;dr: Resell, learn, build

WHy is someone not partnering with you. Yep, better to generate leads first to test the market, then deliver the product. Most people have the other problem, not being able to find client...

Haha Brilliant .. got a client already.
I would suggest you go through beginners-guide-to-seo by MOZ

Retraction, great job in getting yourself a client and well done. Just wanna give some piece of advice to quickly help you get going. So, what you really wanna do is to start learning about onsite SEO as far as you can. Just to give you some guidelines with your own site, you really wanna make sure that your keywords that you wanna rank for on the homepage, the main keyword is in the title tag, the main keyword is in the H1 tag, H2 tag and you wanna make sure that the keyword density should be reverse engineered. So you wanna look who's in the top 3 and now do a keyword density check on each of the top 3 and then total that density often divide by 3 and that give you the average density of what Google's putting in the top 3 right now and just use that as your keyword density initially on your homepage for your main keyword. You wanna do all that on your other keywords that you've met that you wanna actually rank each page for. Of course it is important to this content, you know use unique content and other good SEO practices; w3c code compliance, get a fast load speed and it quickie clean SEO onsite and then in terms of backlinking, you probably gonna need that many backlinks, so I would say, head over to Freshtrap, find yourself some good domains that were relevant to economic development or whatever you gonna do very close to..it could be about construction and get a very simple site build on those, get content out of two them and start linking them back. And then if that still doesn't push to top, you might wanna build some links to those and just 2 or 3 of those each month you would want I guess a month or two with the kind of budget you've got and use some tools to build links to those and you should be used. If you got some questions or look for some more help feel free to private message me or if you need a source of good quality relevant domains, please feel free to PM me. Alright, goodluck and well done getting yourself a client.

you could just take his money and do nothing, I have seen a couple big SEO companies do that. In fact one charged like 40k and then just did a bunch of press releases

in all serious maybe start by reading white hat resources like moz or seobook, they are pretty helpful if you are just looking to rank for really uncompetitive things

You can learn SEO for free. All the resources you need you can find online

Maybe you could sell for an SEO company though if you don't want to learn the stuff yourself

Learn seo is free, there is a lot of information on the internet, and always keep
trying! Failing is not a problem, at least you learn that way!
