If I went freelance....

Hi Guys,

I am starting to wonder if I went freelance as an SEO Consultant in this crazy one horse town, would I have enough clients to survive???

I would obviously be interested to know what you guys think, as a freelance consultant I would be cheaper than a company and in many ways could make SEO services more affordable to smaller businesses. However, IS there enough demand in this town?

Thanks,

Tom

I think there is a need for SEO for all businesses, especially small businesses. The thing is sometimes making the small business owner themselves aware of just how much some quality SEO on targeted key words can help generate good quality traffic to a site and strong potential leads.

Maybe do a blog on SEO and the benefits for small businesses?

Tom Kay,

You don't know unless you try! That's how Admin Tones came about for me.

It's a great idea Tom. I think there's a definite call for services of this kind for small business in the area. I'm meeting with a group of businesses a week on Friday for a breakfast and a brew that would be a perfect client base for you. Why not come along and run your business by them and see what it brings? I think you'll find there'll be a lot of interest.

Let me know if you'd like to come along and I'll make sure they know you're coming. It'd be great to meet you too :)

Kind regards

Michael

Hi again Tom,

I've made some calls and unfortunately there's no-one in your neck of the woods. However, dropping you off shouldn't be a problem. Sorry about that mate, I was hoping I could have helped you out there :(

Look forward to talking to you tomorrow. See you there

Michael
