Search Engine Optimization.
Commonly referred to as SEO, it is one of the high-paying services you could offer as a freelancer today.
Since most of our clients have online businesses, getting people to find their websites through search engines have become a top priority. Great Google rankings = more traffic = more sales and therefore, SEO will remain to be a marketable skill for as long as there's the Internet.
If you have been scouting for freelancing fields to specialize in, you might want to consider checking out SEO.
Fair warning, though. SEO can get pretty technical and is only recommended for freelancers who LOVE♥ continuous learning and tinkering with techie stuff.
If you fit this description, then we've got something for you!
For starters, check out the first two links to get a basic feel of SEO. If you find yourself enjoying the beginners' guide, go on ahead and continue studying the advanced resources. 🙂
Play around with some of my personal favorite tools and prepare for a whole lot of learning ahead. Have fun!
