The world of SEO: a crowded and noisy space where it’s easy to get information overload from many conflicting tactics and strategies.

And if you’re spending the majority of your time reading guides on how to do SEO rather than actually do it, you won’t learn anything.

So, this video will highlight some principles that are critical in learning SEO fast and effectively.

The first thing you need to do is to nail the fundamentals. You need to understand and learn what these fundamentals are before you can generate meaningful traffic to your site via search engines like Google.

The two key fundamentals you need to master are keyword research and on-page SEO.

After you’ve nailed the fundamentals, Sam recommends that you get an internship at a respected SEO agency. You’ll find out why this is the best way to learn, and how you can get an internship at a company you respect in the industry.

Sam also recommends you apply the 80/20 rules to SEO. The 80/20 rule, also known as Pareto’s principle suggests that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. You’ll learn how to apply this rule to your SEO education.

The next thing you should focus on is to refine processes rather than search for shortcuts. You’ll learn how to do this, as opposed to constantly seeking out shortcuts, hacks or the next shiny tactic.

Lastly, soft skills. SEO isn’t always about the hard, technical skills. Soft skills matter too. You’ll learn what these soft skills are, and why they are one of the greatest skillsets that all great SEOs have.

"Knowledge Overload" Most people who start with SEO always have this problem. Until they realise they need to do the actual work. Can't agree more. Thanks a lot Sam :)
