How to Start an SEO Business & Make Money

An interesting piece of advice I was given yesterday told me that I could start my own SEO business and make money for under $1,000.

As long as I was spending my money correctly, I could be a consultant, outsource a lot of the work, and end up making money online.

If you are anything like me, then you are asking yourself: “Is this ethical?”

That really depends on the business. If you are charging people a lot of money and not bringing results then you will lose clients. So honestly, you must have a process that works at a competitive price if you really want to make money.

All in all, you need to first have a strong background in SEO. Luckily I have been blogging and doing SEO for the past 6 years, so I know most of the basic principles and even little tips that help a website rank.

Therefore, I would actually be able to start this business because of my experience.

But what if you don’t have Little or NO experience in SEO? Can you start this business?

I will recommend you to take some SEO training from a reputed institute, work for 6-12 months either in a company or for yourself to understand everything that help to rank any website in search engine.

Then you will be in a position to start a great SEO business that sells quality services.

Make Money with SEO Business – First Steps
These are the first steps I recommend taking if you want to seriously set-up your own SEO business. If you are missing any of these, then fix that before you get started.

1. Understand all on-page and off-page SEO optimization techniques. You must beon page & off page seo able to properly perform an SEO audit, keyword research, competitive analysis, and know how to get quality links quickly.

If you don’t feel like you are proficient in these areas, then do some research. There are great sources of information so you can easily learn whatever it is you desire about SEO.

2. Understand how to develop targeted traffic to a website. If you have clients paying you money for your services, then you need to be able to increase their traffic. Not only traffic, you must be able to grow their business because that is their ultimate aim.

Either way, you need to identify channels where you can find customers and convince them to go with you. Freelance sites are also a great platform to find clients for your SEO business.

4. Get some websites ranking for certain keywords. If you can show case studies where you got 5 different websites to rank for keywords then that would be perfect to show your customers.

You need some type of hook that will make a potential customer trust you. Plus, if you are able to get these keywords to rank then it shows that you are cut out for the business.

5. Understand social media marketing. Websites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, andsocial media marketing Google+ have become extremely popular for all web businesses. If you can incorporate social media marketing with your SEO, you can not only charge more but you can also deliver better results.

If you do not feel confident about some of the things I mentioned above, then go do some homework. You do not want your SEO business to fail right off the bat because you are not properly informed.

Next Steps – Getting SEO Software and Tracking Tools
Okay this is where your initial investment will probably come in. In order to properly own an SEO web business, you must be able to go through all the information in your clients websites.

Below I have listed some of the best SEO tools for 2016. You must have a software or program that can hold all the information you need in one place.SEO Tools

Top SEO Software and Tools (in no particular order)

SEO Moz
Raven Tools
SEO Power Suite
Hubspot
Ahrefs OR Majestic SEO
Most of these cost from $99 – $399 per month. I know that seems steep but the services they offer can definitely help pay you back before you know it. I would hold off on purchasing these until you have a website and general business plan.

You will probably need a back link software as well. Most of these can actually have negative effects on your SEO efforts, but you just need to know how to use them correctly.

One website that offers tools for backlinking is Tynt. Many large companies use their services and you can definitely use them too.
