I grew up on the mean streets of page 187 and I’m not just talking about being low on the rankings. I’m talking about getting 1 to 2 visitors a day and not knowing what to do while you’re there.
Yeah anything below page 100 is the ghetto of SEO. There’s the thieves who come by and try to pilfer you while you sleep destitute in the SEO street (SEO companies who don’t really know anything, believe me I’ve seen my fair share). Then there are people who are with you on the street who steal from you (taking your content or your sales funnels). It’s literally a ghetto in every sense of the word.
You know the feeling when you’re buried in the search results, yeah that was me. There was no traffic and there were no sales. That sucked really bad.
If you’ve ever been that desperate, then you know what I’m talking about.
If you keep opening your inbox and hoping that someone will give you money mystically, then I know what you feel like. I was there. There’s nothing worse than worrying where your next pay check is going to come from because you don’t have the skill to run the business the right way.
When you’ve got to fill the fridge and you have to use your skills to do it, you don’t mess around. You get to work and you fill the fridge.
How did I fill the fridge?
By working my _ss off and getting my page up all the way up to position 18 (I actually made it all the way up to position 3 when I decided to test what one of the major links directory did for me, it turns out it makes 15 positions of difference).
If there’s something that being in the SEO ghetto gives you, it’s clarity about what works and what doesn’t. You just can’t sit around and wait for your website to go, you have to make it go. That’s what I did. I focused on what worked and totally ignored whatever else happened my way (because 90% of it was crap). In fact, most of what you read from internet marketing guru’s in relation to SEO is pure unadulterated crap.
WARNING: MASSIVE SPOILER BELOW THAT THE INTERNET GURU’S WILL NEVER TELL YOU
The biggest secret in internet marketing is that the guru’s never build their own lists on their own. They used joint ventures to build their lists from bigger names. They actually couldn’t run an internet marketing business without contacts, they don’t know SEO at all, so if you run over to them and try to learn SEO, then good luck. In fact, 90% of what these marketers tell you to build traffic they do not do, and they have no business teaching.
If you want skills where you can literally build a business from nothing without help from anyone (because not every niche has a good marketer who has a list you can JV with) then you learn how to get traffic and convert it.
So what does this have to do with you?
I’m an SEO ninja. That’s what people call me, and my friends in the SEO business know I am. I’m also a PPC ninja (Perry Marshall even told me I should get a business card that says “Adwords Guru”. To be honest, I’m nowhere near as good as him (that’s what guru means to me) but I am well taught by names like Perry Marshall, Bryan Todd, and Sunny Hills. I don’t mean by books either, I have been in Perry’s Bobsled Run and received personalized coaching.)
If you want traffic, I can get that. I’m really good at it actually. I’ve been a professional SEO guy for over 2 years and I’ve taken a dentist’s site from 29 backlinks to over 400. Which brought him increases of 197 spots in position. Here’s the kicker, this was under 2 months of link building from myself.
All I’m really saying here, is that you don’t have to believe me, you just have to let me do my thing and prove to you that I’m good.
So what am I proposing to you, if you have a product or service then let’s work together and let’s make money. I’m accepting joint ventures with entrepreneurs who will stay out of my way and let me handle the conversion and the traffic. You give me the product.
You just want SEO or PPC? That’s cool with me. I haven’t set the prices yet so you’ll have to contact me for that. But if you’ve got a product you want to sell, get at me, I want to hear about it and I want to know if we can work together. E-mail me at info@scottbuendia.com to get my ear.
