The Land of the Middle Man
After doing SEO for over a year now I have seen many different things on the web.
Stuff that is super sketchy, stuff that is straight up shady, and stuff that is amazingly smart.
I sometimes struggle with balancing the math because I have a hard time justifying prices and determining what is "fair."
I try not to take on many clients because if I did I would just become another mindless zombie drone.
I am more interested in coming up with ideas and shaping social policy than I am with making large sums of money.
The nice thing about my ebook is that I know it provides great value for its price ($40) and that I would be way better off right now if I would have read something like it when I first got on the web.
Most people making money on the web are in one form or another "just a middle man." Some do it with nothing but their own profits in mind while others actually focus on providing value and helping people.
Many people try to talk themselves up and give themselves great titles, but as long as I am "just another SEO" then all I am in one more man in the land of the middle man.
