Why Most SEOs Stay Broke

You’re an SEO, you play the game like the rest of us, but then why are you still broke?

Besides the obvious reason (just plain sucking ass at SEO), the problem could be with the way you think…

In business, having a narrow perspective can be one of the biggest deterrents of success.

How big do you dream? What would an incredible day in affiliate commissions look like to you?

If the answers to these questions are things like, “not having to work a day job”, or “just making a good living”, then chances are you will most likely stay broke.

If you can’t dream big, then you really can’t expect anything too extravagant out of life.

Let’s look at some fun products that make me literally lose faith in humanity knowing people actually buy this shit:

1. Check out the “Black Hat Hit Man“…

Watch the first 30 seconds of this video, enough said. “Mad backlinks…”

2. Take a look at some Warrior forum special offers. Do people really think someone is going to give away their secret sauce for $7? For those that do they should go punch themselves in the face repeatedly.

3. ClickBank, that’s all I’m going to say.

Sorry folks but the real secrets remain exclusive and the SEOs that figure them out don’t go putting together a sales page on how to make $3,439.65 per day. Actually they are on a beach somewhere getting shit faced.

So what’s the takeaway here…

Realize how value works in this world. And remember the old adage; “you don’t get something for nothing”, this applies to most transactions. Take that one with a grain of salt :)

And start dreaming big, get ridiculous.

Here is an example: In five years I will be on my private 200′ yacht (which is also a hovercraft) cruising to the island of “Tiramisu”. That’s right the island is name after a dessert. Why? Because I own that shit and named it.

Now go SEO something and CRUSH!!

    Awesome post!

    What most people don’t realize is, SEO gives immense value to businesses. We are actually giving them a favour by increasing their profits by leaps and bounds. Its only fair that we also get immense compensation for our effort.

      I’m confused. This post isn’t about getting compensation for SEO work.

      Its about SEOs that stay broke.

      You’re funny. If I’m ever in Malaysia, we should hang out and talk about Honey Badgers.
