Summary
- When starting out with SEO, focus on client SEO services. It's a great way to make money quickly and doesn't require creating a product or having a lot of capital.
- Offering SEO services to small businesses can generate a steady cash flow. Use this cash flow as startup capital to reinvest in other ventures.
- Diversify your income through multiple projects. Consider creating educational programs or software, like I did with Got SEO Academy and Rankability. This reduces concentrated risk and provides income from different sources.
- Building an SEO agency can be rewarding, but it's not the only path. You can also reinvest earned capital into more scalable business models while still using your SEO skills.
- It's important to decide whether to focus solely on agency work or to diversify and explore other scalable opportunities that can leverage your SEO expertise.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by offering SEO services to small businesses if you're just beginning. This is a quick and easy way to make money without needing a lot of upfront investment. You'll help these businesses improve their online presence and, in return, earn a steady cash flow.
A good way of utilizing this cash flow is to reinvest it into other ventures. Consider diversifying into projects that don't solely rely on client work. You could, for example, create educational programs or software. Doing so will not only spread out your risks but also offer different income streams.
If you're interested in expanding further, one of the things to consider is building an SEO agency. This can be rewarding and help you grow steadily. However, it's not the only choice. You could also use the money earned from your SEO services to explore scalable business models.
Decide whether you want to stick to the agency path or explore other opportunities. Look for ways to incorporate your SEO skills into these new ventures to maximize their potential.
Remember, the goal is to balance generating quick income with building future-oriented projects. This mix helps you grow your business in a sustainable way while reducing risks. Keep learning and adapting to find what works best for you.
