SEO beginners might be better off outsourcing the work

SEO for beginners is a tricky thing when you think about it. For someone that has years of experience in the SEO field, beginner SEO is something we don't really think about because we're pre-programmed to do all of that from the start. It's like second nature to us to optimize out pages without thinking of it, but beginners usually have to go through a step by step process before they get familiar with everything and gain enough confidence in order to do it on their own, without a guide.

SEO is actually a difficult thing to learn because it's always evolving. You may think you know everything about SEO, but in reality, you are just learning and might screw up everything. Even if you did know everything there is to know about SEO, the search engines change up their algorithms all the time and that means you have to constantly be learning how to not get your websites penalized lol. If you were listening to get SEO gurus online, you may think you can do everything for your own website in a few hours, which isn't true at all. It takes a long time to learn what to do the right way, in order to avoid anything negative happening to your website when you strive out on your own to increase your rankings.


Avoid Screwing It Up
Outsourcing your SEO work is always a good thing to do if you're a noobie marketer. This is because you're hiring someone to do the work, who actually knows how to help your website or blog, without taking chances or testing new methods. If you end up screwing something up, it will just take longer to fix it and that might mean you're falling behind on your goals and deadlines, which is devastating if you miss them.

Not screwing up your SEO is what you should focus on. Sure, you could learn how to do everything possible in a year or less, but you may not be the best at it. If you're not 1,000% sure of what to do, it's best to outsource the work to a credible SEO agency or freelancer so they can take the reigns and boost your website or blog to the top of the search engine results pages for more traffic and sales coming through your website SEO beginners might be better off outsourcing the work


You Could Gain A Penalty
If you don't know what you're doing, you're likely going to gain a penalty when you strive out and try to increase your rankings through SEO. Obtaining a penalty from Google or the other search engines is easier than you think. You just have to screw up a few things before the powers that be, search engines decide to hit you and make you face some reality.

Getting out of a penalty is much more difficult than gaining the penalty in the first part. If you get a penalty, there's no real way to know what it was for, so if you hire a quality SEO agency or service you will know you're in safe hands. Companies that have been in the SEO field for years will usually avoid getting you a penalty because their name is on the line, so they will do the best work they can in order to keep you coming back. The higher quality SEO companies also thrive on reviews, so if they do a great job for you and boost your rankings, they love to see kind words posted online about them. This is what drives them to not screw something up like a beginner SEO world lol.


It Might Be More Difficult For A Future SEO Provider
Going out on your own and doing SEO for your website or blog might sound like a good idea until you screw something up and have to pay an experienced SEO provider to come in and fix what you did. Usually, when you screw up your SEO, it will cost you more money to come in and fix it than it would if you just hired the same SEO company from the beginning.

It cost more to fix a problem than it does to actually do the right work because the SEO company has to go in and basically delete everything you've done. Depending on how long you've been messing up the work, it could take the company a month or even 6 months to get everything back on track in order to boost your rankings.



In Conclusion
If you don't have the money to outsource your SEO work to a quality freelancer or marketing company, be sure to study everything you can and try not to over optimize anything. Never think you're a pro SEO when you just start out, it takes years of research and practice before you'll be able to consider yourself a pro. Even then, you will notice you're still learning and split testing any new method out there in order to boost your rankings lol. You can avoid penalties, usually, if you outsource the work to a credible company and if they screw up, you can leave them a bad review. Depending on how bad you mess up your SEO, if you do it on your own, it could cost you thousands of dollars to fix it as well as a few months to bounce back.

That's actually completely true - SEO isn't as easy as it might seem and unless you fully study and follow some guides/tutorials you might be better off outsourcing the work. However, I have managed to teach myself some things from scratch and implemented it on my blog. Obviously, I don't have the knowledge that some other people have who have been doing SEO for years but still! It's completely possible but definitely do your research.

I agree that you can do the SEO work by yourself and you can learn by self-study. But that would depend on the kind of user because you may be smart enough to understand about SEO methods in details. I think I can also do that. But we have to take note that some site owners don’t have the patience to go down into details especially in doing the so called dirty work. For that kind of site owner the best thing is to outsource the work.

You are right, I think SEO can be really complicated for someone, but it seems quite easy for some other people. I have always been wanting to learn more about SEO, but I just can't really grasp the concept of it. Perhaps I haven't study enough as it is still like a foreign topic for me.

It's a good idea to hire people at times to do SEO for you but I think it's best if you do, and oversee most of the work yourself. Just to make sure you're getting the desired results.

I never knew this thanks for sharing your tips and advice, it's great as usual. I never knew you could screw something up to the point where it could cost you more to fix it later on. Although now that I think about it I guess you could do damage and incur penalties so it does sound like it. I guess if you aren't looking to turn it into a job and are willing to sacrifice a few sites in the beginning just to learn from mistakes then it might be better to just outsource it.

I think instead of outsourcing. Learning from doing is much better approach. I am sure there are some of the people who have done the outsourcing end up spending money and learning nothing. And on that note, I'd say learning from doing is much better approach for the SEO. I am learning things slowly. And then hoping to have more control over the content and SEO side. But I learned mostly from doing and not outsourcing.

If you can afford to outsource it at first that might be the thing to do, but not everyone can afford to do this so it is really up to the individual as to what they want to do in terms of the SEO, do it yourself or hire someone..completely up to you.

I am not an SEO expert, however, I know what SEO is and how to do an SEO. Well, my SEO strategies may not push my sites on the top search results, however, I am happy with my work because I am not spending a dime on SEO. Having said that I also see the importance of working with an expert. The money you spend on SEO service will get you a good ROI.
In my opinion, it is better to learn SEO than hire an SEO expert. You can learn SEO for free as well as join SEO courses. The money you have to spend for SEOL expert can be used to learn SEO and become an expert.

I am new to SEO and I cannot say that I fully understand the methods and principles that are being employed by SEO specialists to gain a headway in the rankings game. So when I have a website and I wanted to push it up in the search engine list then I probably need to outsource the SEO work to those who know it. Forcing myself to do SEO methods blindly is like guessing and it is not good for the business for I might just be wasting my time and effort on what I was doing which is not right.
