Thinking of Moving Into SEO (Advice Needed)

Kieren said:

Hi everyone,


I’m looking for a bit of advice.


I’m in the process of shutting down my SMM reseller business. It’s been quite a ride with plenty of ups and downs, but I’ve decided it’s time to move on to something more sustainable and less on the “sketchy” side.


After doing some research (and chatting with tools like ChatGPT), I’m really considering getting into SEO. I know it’s a competitive space, but I also know it has the potential to be highly profitable.


That said, I’m curious—are there any other online business models similar to SEO that might be a better alternative?


Thanks in advance!

• Focuses on creating high-quality, long-form content (like blog posts, guides, and whitepapers) for clients to drive organic traffic and establish authority.
• Instead of offering a service to clients, you build your own websites and blogs and earn commissions by recommending products. This is a great way to learn SEO hands-on.
• A highly profitable model where you create simple websites that rank for local keywords (e.g., "plumber near me") and then sell the leads to local businesses.
• Instead of organic traffic, you focus on paid traffic through platforms like Google Ads. This requires a different skillset but is a very high-demand service.
