Hi guys! Just like to know how many of you here works as a Search Engine Optimizer. I just like to know how you start the job and could you give me tips on how to start? I want to work as a part time SEO but I don't know how it is done. How much am I going to earn?

I assume that you know how to build web sites using raw code html css etc etc I run a number of web sites and to be honest to become a search engine optimiser you first need to be a web designer so if you are not able to build a web site from scratch using code that's your starting point. Then get a job as a web designer for a company as becoming an SEO is a progression from actually designing the site as you build the site you would then integrate the SEo meta tags key words etc etc as you are building the site.

It´s not a good way to earn money. You have to use the search engine many many times to earn a small amount of $. I think the best way is responding discussion board and using the search engine like your main search. In 2 days working for 2h or less i earned 0.01$ It´s not so bad. Bye]!

I have my own domain website and blog. So I do all my own seo. I guess if you wanted to do this professionally you would have to research all information on this subject and take some classes. Some larger companies have their own seo experts. Most individuals who have their own domains...do their own research on seo and do it themselves.
