Mark A Preston
This will probably be the most honest take of the SEO freelancing life you will ever read. We will go through both the good and the bad of being an SEO freelancer, share real life stories, and even discuss how to solve challenges you may be facing.
Although Mark A Preston is an SEO Trainer & Speaker now, he has had a varied career within the SEO industry since 2001, including doing my time as an SEO freelancer after I sold my agency.
I am going to share with you the brutally honest truth about the freelancing life.
But...
If you get it right, freelancing can bring many great rewards. Hopefully, this SEO freelancer guide will help you to understand everything better and give you tips on how to solve all the challenges you may face as an SEO freelancer, helping you to build a successful SEO freelancing business.
Why I felt that I needed to write this SEO freelancing guide
Over the years, I have had many conversations with many SEO professionals who have given up a well-paid job to go it alone as an SEO freelancer only to find that reality is not what they imagined it to be.
Why is that?
There are many reasons, from false promises to not understanding the business side of SEO freelancing. I have found though that the majority of conversations I have had with SEOs thinking of going freelance, or have already made the step to go it alone as an SEO freelancer is due to…
The many six-figure SEO freelance case studies published online.
Yes, it is very possible to earn six-figures as an SEO freelancer.
BUT...
Do NOT underestimate the amount of hard work and dedication required to achieve that. You don't earn a six-figure income as an SEO freelancer without putting in the time and effort. This isn't a way of getting rich quick. It's a lifestyle.
