The Knowledge Acquisition Trap is the biggest downfall, and it even trapped me after being in the industry for a while. Here are some thoughts on valuable action steps that I took as a beginner when money was tight. 1. Find Longtails that rank easily without Links or with very few links. Write content for that. Every SEO can only benefit by building out longtail pages and learning to optimize and rank them without links 2. Find organic ways to promote the site. Can you podcast? Outreach? Build out your branded properties? When I was getting started, I worked 40 hours a week to pay for the family and 15 hours a week of overtime to pay for my SEO hobby. Your thoughts on Technical and Site architecture are so important. It's where I'm spending most of my time right now. Good video.
Hi Nathan this is Jay Lou from the Philippines., just stumble on your channel and this is really a big help... Still watching more of your videos and learning something new. Lookong forward for a new videos. Thanks Nathan..

Thanks for all the great info! I started without knowing a thing , even what an SEO is . It’s so over my head. This video is very encouraging to me that I can learn how to create more traffic to all my social media platforms including my UA-cam channel! 🙏🏻✌🏻❤️
Nathan, Thanks for sharing such information you covered all these SEO key points very well and they all are very important to become a successful SEO Expert. I especially liked #1 SEO Experts should have an Action-First Mindset.
Hi Nathan, Your Video is Awesome and I love Your Content , I am waiting for a long time for your course please open your Gotech SEO academy As soon as poosible, I want to Learn , Thanks ! Have a Great Day
That's an awesome video. I liked your statement when you say what works for other SEO experts might not work for you. Thank you for the valuable video.
Very useful information. I have a confusion. I have a website which is 3 years old. but was not updated long time ago. I have revamp my website but I lost my old posts. So can you tell me whether I can again improve ranking of my old domain by adding new contents and posts and do seo or it will not get up and I need to buy a new domain and work from start
Nathan, I was thinking creating content for my website and also link it with text in wikipedia. In some cases I will write some summary in wikipedia of what I am writing. Do you you think? Good or bad backlinks?
Hey Nathan, if I have a local website about carpet installation, should I only need to write local content in my blog (mywebsite.com/blog)? Or can I write useful content and build backlinks from all over the world? In short: How to rank my local services page on Google?
It's best to create linkable assets on the blog with the intention of building overall website authority (a stronger website will increases the rankings of your local, transactionally-driven pages)
Hey Nathan, awesome video - you have been pumping out some great vids. When you speak of outsourcing the kw research aspect do you hire a VA and train them or are you looking for people who understand how to do kw research or is there a vendor you recommend.
valuable content :) what if someone want to take action but dont have budget to test water??? Also I ask you several time which one of your course include content about ranking affiliate sites? like reviews?
Thank you! You don't need a budget to test. You just have to take things slower. The content section of my course applies to all types of business models
Yo Nathan! Great vid! I double my clients revenue and traffic over the past 90 days through organic search. Now I’m close to looking for some more clients. How do you recommend pricing your service? Tricky topic I know! Cheers
That's awesome Kyle, congrats! Depends on your portfolio and perceived authority in the industry. If you're new, it's best to go low. If you have a decent portfolio, you can test higher pricing. The best pricing "tactic" I've used is custom, three-tiered pricing. For example, ($3,000/mo | $5,000/mo | $10,000/mo). This is a deep topic, so forgive me for being vague lol
Nathan Gotch that’s great advice! I’ll continue to focus on consistent results and gaining authority in my space. I’ll let the results do the talking and leverage that. Thanks again!
@@nathangotch Thank you! Could you please make one of your future videos or posts about your custom pricing tactic? By the way, what's the name of the transitions in your video? They look really cool.
Depends on what your objective is. From an SEO perspective, it's best to focus on quality over quantity. From a content marketing perspective, there's value in micro content. That said, I practice 80/20 when it comes to content creation. 80% of my content is keyword-targeted (SEO content) and the other 20% is built for content marketing purposes
@@nathangotch You should make a FAQ/Rule sheet of small guidelines you try to follow. A lot of key concepts can be kept in the viewers memory by a short cheat list. I compile my own all the time while learning about new subjects.
Nathan Gotch wow nice, so based on the 80:20 principle for local SEO, it’s actually seems better to focus on directories and local listings instead of content, isn’t it?
I like your video, but do not like this tactic of trying to get a viewer to stick around to “habit number 6”. If its that good, then put it first. Personally, irritates me from the beginning of the video.

Back links is number 1 factor, though I published shit it gets ranking just because of back links, can you suggest more ways to acquire more links ?
I am from Germany and your tips really help me!
And what program do you use for your graphics?
I have a graphic designer make them and then my video editor animates them (not sure what programs they use to be honest)
@@nathangotch thx
Awesome. Does linkedin help with website traffic etc?

Thanks Stan! I've had better results when I hire a VA without SEO knowledge and train them from the ground-up

Would the course that's coming out in June have Local SEO?
Dont get cocky, Anderson.:D
Motivated me ... a lot because
.... i was just like (my .. i now leave seo) because not getting any results.
I just attended a content marketing conference , they say which should mix up short and long content? Is it a good idea to put short content ?

Do you mean start a niche website besides your marketing / SEO business site?
Definitely because it helps you learn SEO faster, you can be more aggressive with experiments, and you get all the benefits if the site does well
how to stop someone if he is using my content taking a screenshot and use that screenshot in his article ?
hey Nathan you just tried Neil's tip that i watched before :P
Which one lol
@@nathangotch i have got seven points and six one will be more useful to force us to watch the video completely like the Neil said and it worked :P
The title of expert goes to you
So Mike Tyson says the #1 way to be an SEO expert is to not get punched in the face. Dang...I knew I was doing something wrong lol
Just from your website. On this page www.gotchseo.com/about/ you have white text on white background. The heading on your left
?
Gotch Sir, Please increase the number of videos on youtube. Focus on UA-cam because you have much more potential than only 7k subscribers.
thanks man! I'll do my best
"neeesh" Nathan. Say it.
I am an Introvert.
I am too!
I like your video, but do not like this tactic of trying to get a viewer to stick around to “habit number 6”.
If its that good, then put it first.
Personally, irritates me from the beginning of the video.
So what are the fundamentals? You're giving steps without the meat. For beginners this is just a bunch of lifeless words. B-E-G-I-N-N-E-R-S!!!
