when can i desrve to get paid jops as seo specialist??

i studding seo,web development for about 4 years now. for developing i know that i am a professional and i deserve to get paid for my work as the rules is easy the client design a scenario i see if i can build it if i can i say yes if it is above my level i say no.

but with seo i did't started to ask for money till now as i still don't know if i am professional enough. i give some good advices to my friends and they say it works but i still not knowing what is the criteria of professional seo and what the experienced client expect. i am a doctor and i used to get paid only for what i can do efficiently so i don't know when to say i am ready

 

I can only assume that you are talking about SEO in some other language besides English. The easiest answer I can give you is that you will need to work on your English if you are planning to get American customers.

 

I have to agree with that. You may want to market yourself to those who need SEO services in your native tongue or culture. Chances are you'll get far as most SEO folks are only marketing to English speakers.

 

Have you any case studies that you can use to gain business yet?

Honest feedback, not to burst your bubbles

Look at your title and think how it is. Also, your writing lacks proper grammar and punctuation. When doing business online, clients don’t see you and one way they judge you is by your communication skills. I would suggest you like other have done already to focus on your English. Writing on word and running the spell checker takes care of the spelling and some grammar issue

 

I am sorry, but I can only agree with the other replies on this thread. If you are an seo specialist, you should not have to ask how to obtain new business for yourself. If you are an seo specialist, you should be able to deliver targeted visitors to other sites and offers as service. If you cannot get people to your own service, then this really starts looking like an oxymoron situation to me.

It's kind of like saying "Hey, I run a hosting company. Do you know where I can get a site hosted?" It just does not work that way.

 

When you take it serious enough to develop a game plan, target potenital customers, make a sales presentation and ofcourse, deliver. The language has already been made obvious.

 

This is DP. We has a "Wordpress expert" last week (complete with a sig saying they were) asking how to manually install the wordpress software. Nothing surprises me here anymore.

 

haaaaaaaaay guys you are very tough here. the whole web business is a amusement to me i am a graduates master degree holding dentist but i just like computing and developing.
i know that i have a problem with English writing i studied in english about 10 years in the college and in my master but i didn't used English since then but i usually hire a editor to check the articles before publishing.

i got a very successful seo campaign in a very competitive niche (a friend website). since then i receive many paid tasks but i don't know if i am qualified enough and again i used to get paid for what i can make efficiently .
so i need definite criteria or online test to evaluate my skills

 

I'll say this in the most subtle manner possible, sounds to me like you are from India and I agree "Sell To Your Fellow India CountryMen", God Forbid you learn English Perfectly Because Then You would start offering your rates so low that any American or anyone living in the Western Hemisphere could not compete, it's situations like this why now I understand why countries have "Tariffs", if what is happening on the Net with cuthroat services from India was allowed in the Read World the World Economy would be in ruins !, the British occupied India for years and the result of it is everyone from India that can speak a bit of English now charging .50 cents an hour to do skilled Freelance Programming on-line, or a $100 dollar piece of software being sold for $1.00 dollar because someone in the Western Hemisphere has sold it to someone in India or someone in India has accquied it via Cyber Thef, I'm all for Free Enterprise but that is outright ridiculeous !

 

woooooooow you really make me laugh man.

first i am Egyptian not Indian and if i was Indian i would be proud as Indians are really good at software development.

second thing i won't accept making a piece of software for a 1$ because again i am a dentist, really a famous one in my little town and i am sure that i make more money than every one here(dentistry anywhere is a gold mine ,,basic info you must know).

and about that god prevented me from learning English i say thank thanks god for every good thing i know and make and may god forgive me for anything bad i learned or done. anyone can learn any thing if this is a priority for him god willing.

last thing i got a very good example for you .china is invading Egypt with many cheap products that is really closing most of the factories here . should i hate China nooooooooooo. we have to see how they did it and try to find a solution the closed markets are gone forever you have to compete even in your back yard it is the era attitude and any one will try to under estimate his competitor will fail simply .

 

It's your story, "Tell It Any Way You Want To", just don't ask me to believe it !

 

looooooooool no problem i was just answering you i am here to learn not to have problems with any one have a good day my friend really no hard feelings

 

Good Luck My Friend,
Egypt, Maybe I'll come and visit you one day, I'm African American from the USA, so I guess it would be like returning to home, as for SEO have you tried http://www.webceo.com/cgi-bin/go/clickthru.cgi?id=TemplarMarketeers WebCEO, download is "Free" and pretty much takes care of "ALL" SEO issues !

 

thanks for the link my friend and you are welcome to Egypt any time and i promise to offer you free dental treatment god bless you

 

No problem I hear the Women are Beautiful in Egypt, I'm Also "Masonic" I'm sure Egypt could be a perfect fit for Me !, best of luck with your SEO ventures and remember the definition of an Expert is, "If You Don't Know Something, You Know Where To Go And Find Out !"

 

If you have a number of succesfull sites in terms of SEO under your belt get some testimonials and you are in business. It is not eays and will take a lot of time to master but if you explain that to your clients first they may be a bit more understanding...
