Why I Have Chosen To Make A Career As An SEO, And The Benefits It Brings To Me As An Individual.
There are several reasons why I have opted to engages in a New career as a search engine optimisation consultant, and I’m going to go over those reasons now. My main purpose for doing this is to help provide people who might also be looking for New careers some assistance and guidance on the good points of becoming an SEO, and to help them discover if it is something which would interest them.
One of the key reasons I have decided to become an SEO is because it is one of the first Careers I have had a sincere interest in doing in a very long time, and I shall tell you why shortly. Basically I have been unclear my whole life about what career I want to do, and I seem to have thought about doing all types of different Careers at one point or another. I always seem to point out the negative parts of a role, and generally it is enough to put me off aiming for that career for good, so then I must start searching for something else. However, after doing a lot of research on the SEO role, I could only see a couple of bad points, and they were not enough to put me off wanting to do the job full time. This is my key reason for deciding to pursue this as something I would want to do as a full time job.
Another reason for deciding to pursue it is that, it is, to me anyway, a genuinely interesting concept to follow. As the internet is such a big part of many people’s lives now, using it to search for services and things is commonplace for a lot of people. Now people are usually pretty lazy when hunting for information on the internet, and many people don’t search past page one on Google after they have entered a search query. So, being on page one is a massive advantage for businesses, as it’s essentially a style of advertising, and it means they have the possibility there to gain a lot more traffic and customers than if they aren’t on page one. To me it is an extremely interesting concept as no-one outside of Google really knows how the algorithms that manage the searches work, so getting the websites to page one takes time and perseverance. Once they get there though, you have put that website in good standing to generate more traffic and business. This is where you also profit, as in my case, the businesses are charged per keyword per week, so it produces a great source of income. The salary can vary depending on the type of company you are working for however.
My only concern about becoming an SEO is the fact that, as mentioned before, no-one outside of Google is really aware of how the algorithms work. This means there is a risk that if they alter them drastically, it could have a dramatic impact on work that has been completed, and possibly cause keywords you have worked hard to get page 1 to fall away. However, I feel it is a slight risk, and one I am willing to take to start on a New career that actually interests me. Of all the New careers I have looked into over the years, this one fascinates me the most.
