SEO Advice Needed

Hey guys.

My affiliate site right now is making about $1,000 per month. This $1,000 is coming mostly from my large social media and posting the links on forums.

My question is, should I start doing SEO on my own or get a service to do it for me? I will be extremely busy for the next year because I'm in my senior year of college and the classes are really adding up.

I'm not looking for specific programs but rather would it be smarter to get a service or just do SEO with the little time I can spare.

Would the profit be worth the expenditure on these services?

Thanks in advanced guys!

Hi,

If you are good in SEO, do it yourself. Slow & Steady seo always win the race.

Thanks

Whats your niche? Depends on the competition. If it's low competition, then you can do it by yourself.

Having spent a lot on services here I can say that it all depends on Keywords, competition and what you end up buying. Remember there is (almost) no money in ranking at #11 (even #5 sometimes) or ranking #1 for high volume informational keywords. You also can easily get thousands % ROI with SEO. it all depends.

I would recommend to try yourself first, it will help you a lot when judging work provided by providers.

Simple, Just Learn & Follow Google Webmaster Guidelines

Just start doing SEO of your money pages, as if your products are selling via social mefiaor forum links, then its obvious that if you got rank in serps, your sales can be double triple.

If you don't know anything regarding SEO or how to do SEO, you must hire the SEO experts which can easily rank your website and can optimize your pages too.

You'll pay for that kind of SEO - I mean really pay.

Certainly possible but it won't be cheap so your ROI is not going to come all that quickly.

I mean, if the answer to that question was yes, then you could have free money forever. It's always a gamble (or an educated guess if you're good). My advice is do it if you know SEO. If you don't, pay for it, but take time finding the best service. You don't want to pay for a shit one.

It really depends on how you see yourself with SEO in the near future. I mean, SEO is a journey, you don't just learn it and that's it - you gotta spend time all the time in improving your SEO knowledge, test things, etc ... I keep reading about SEO on daily basis and I still keep learning new things even after 12 years of being in this field.

So, if you just plan on doing SEO for a single site, it might not be worthy to spend that much effort and time in learning and keeping learning about SEO. It might be worthy hiring someone to do the SEO while you focus on things that you do best.

Of course, you can just go to marketplace and buy packages on your own but it might be dangerous if you don't know what you are dealing with.

However, if your site makes you $1K/mo from social media alone, SEO is certainly going to help you in the long run.

I can figure out 2 things from your question- you don't have much spare time on hand and also need SEO that drives a good bargain.

I can tell you one thing- If you have just started SEO- you can make a lot of mistakes without some proper guidance.

It will surely be helpful in the long run as more knowledge about SEO will help you turn over greater profits. And I say long run because it takes time, money and effort to test various SEO practices and know which will work and which will not- to figure out who to invest in and where not to.


With time constraints you'd be better off hiring someone who can walk you through the process and provide you with an affordable plan in your budget.

This is a good point to note. You already have traffic and are monetizing it- you only need to let Google know that you have a good site which can stick in the SERPs.

That is what SEO is.

I use SEO for blog and video to get the first page on Google.

I use free traffic and make money with ClickBank.
