Mine, WordPress sitesinde yerel bir lastik mağazası için temel SEO çalışması yapıyordu. Sanırım yüz dolar kazandım, hahaha. Bu 16 yıl önceydi ve tüm doğru anahtar kelimelerde üst sıralarda yer almalarını sağladım. Bundan sonra onlara hiçbir iş yapmadım.
Herkesin ilk ücretli SEO işi neydi? Ne kadar kazandın?

We took on our first customer last year December for €125 per month. The agreement was, we will be cheap for a case study, and, if we get them to no. 1, the price doubles. It’s also hard to sell SEO without receipts.
They now rank 1st for all the keywords we aimed for, and the owner pays us double every month with a smile.
We had to since up our price because content alone does not rank, and, acquiring legit backlinks from legit websites takes time. And time is money.
We also upped our skillset to manage WordPress websites, and are now doubling down on Webflow.
Technically speaking it was part of my role as an editor of an online expat magazine in China, though this was just my first interaction with SEO and it just boiled down submitting page titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords (this was a long time ago) along with the articles I was writing or translating.
First pure SEO gig was working for a London agency doing a huge competitor analysis piece for Belron/Autoglass/Carglass across the China market. I was brought in on a temporary contract for this project alone on a measly £1,800 a month gross. Stayed on permanently and got a £2k pay rise (£20k a year!) shortly after before moving on up London agency land shortly after.
I made around $47 for my first gig haha.
My first real SEO client was a local apartment rental website for tourists.
I spent like a month onsite working 9 to 5 and after that trial period they paid me the lowest amount of those suggested (below €1k as far as I remember) because they were dissatisfied with the results.
The travel niche was already super competitive back then so expecting proper results after just one month was irrational IMHO.
Anyway, during that month I learned so much that I was hooked. I offered blogging and SEO services ever since.
Indeed I’ve built a custom blog for them and in 2004 business blogs were a completely revolutionary idea, especially here in Germany. I was way ahead of the time.
I also optimized my own site and ranked well for SEO terms so that I got targeted search traffic and even press coverage.
When I started in SEO (~April 2021) I was making $38,880 I think. Agency work. Learned a lot, went in-house at a startup, and now a manager for a huge org
