I make a living as a freelance SEO consultant and income from a network of websites/social media accounts: the latter mostly through passive income from advertising revenue and affiliate product sales driven by free organic search engine traffic.
My network for the most part runs itself, maintenance: updating WordPress, server updates, checking for server issues etc… only takes a few hours a day.
Freelance SEO Consultant
As you can see from my resume below I’ve offered SEO services for over 20 years and worked with a variety of businesses.
My freelance SEO consultant rates start at $1,000 a month retainer fee for pretty much unlimited SEO advice. See freelance SEO consultant for more details about the service.
For the record: I’m not interested in working for free on projects until they make money. I’ve received a fair number of offers to work on projects for a share of the profits over the years, but they are almost always ideas I could achieve on my own and the person asking for help didn’t bring a great deal (in skill terms) to the table. Sorry, I’m not interested in building a business from scratch for free.
Over 8,000 LinkedIn Connections
Over 3,000 FaceBook FollowersMy SEO/Marketing relevant Twitter Accounts…
Also own over a dozen more Twitter accounts which tend to have over 5,000 followers each. Some of these accounts are generating hundreds of thousands of impressions a month: millions in total. I particularly enjoy my two politics Twitter accounts:
The Brexit one for example can generate over 5 million impressions a month.
