If you want to know why online business needs SEO, I’ll tell you right now. It’s because SEO is king. It’s really that simple. It will kick the crap out of Craigslist, annihilate Facebook, sneak right past Instagram, kick Twitter in the testies, and keep on walking down the street like it’s some kind of badass. Well, it IS a badass.
See, there are a million ways to do marketing online and every one of them has the potential to make you a crap load of money. Hell, I was making a full time income on Facebook alone, and it blew my mind how easy it was to make several hundred dollars in a day just by hanging out chatting with people for less than an hour.
Please notice, I said “WAS”…yes, I WAS making a full time income on Facebook. I HAVE made $100 in a day with Craigslist. Instagram WAS paying me great money on autopilot while I was down at the beach with my friends drinking.
The Problem With Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, etc…
The problem with sites like Craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and everything else is that we, as online marketers, have no control over them. Affiliate marketing on Craigslist couldn’t be more frustrating; they change their algorithms regularly, so the minute you start making awesome money on there, you’re back at the start having to figure it all out again.
What about Facebook? How many times have you been thrown in Facebook jail simply for existing? If you were relying on posting ads into FB groups for an income, then get thrown into FB jail, that’s 2 weeks minimum that you’ll be broke.
So, the real reason why online business needs SEO is simple. When you truly understand and implement SEO, no one can mess with you. You can’t land in SEO jail. When you master SEO, you are the ruler of the kingdom of online business. You control it all. Your income is steady and not dependent on factors you can’t control.
Proper SEO Will Bring You Long Term Success
Yeah, it was awesome making $300 in a day. But it’s not so awesome for a week to pass by only making a few bucks here and there, to then be pleasantly surprised by another couple hundred bucks on another day. It’s not consistent, and I don’t like getting all excited, then feeling like crap just a few days later trying to figure out my finances.
I personally prefer money to come in consistently so I can live how I want to live and not stress out about how I’m going to pay my bills. I started learning very powerful SEO strategies at Wealthy Affiliate, and I’m pretty blown away at all the tools they share to help you get your online business up and running smoothly. Their goal is to help people make a full time income with their online businesses. They’re free to join, and if you really want to learn the ropes of SEO, I very very VERY strongly suggest creating a free account with them. There isn’t a website out there that gives away what these guys do for free. I hope this bit of SEO information has helped you.

Thank you Corina. I appreciate the kind words.
Hi, Pal, algorithms keeps changing their criteria and it very unsteady to be able to depend on that for an steady income. I agree with you that SEO is still king. Good day Sir
Exactly Paul! I don’t like the unsteadiness of changing algorithms. I started making a full time income in June, and then realized those are pitfalls we’re going to hit as marketers. I’m sure there are still pitfalls in SEO, but way less of them. Than you for your comment!
