Bro your content is simply the best you have helped me tremendously…when I started 2 years ago -I knew less than zero about digital marketing/affiliate marketing/SEO ..I still know very little but it’s your content that’s helped move the needle for me ..thank you!!

Wow, your journey in digital marketing is truly inspiring! It's impressive how you've gone from spamming forums to becoming a recognized SEO expert, and your commitment to learning from your mistakes is commendable. One key takeaway I got from your video is the importance of choosing a specific area of digital marketing to focus on. It's clear that specialization is crucial in this vast field. After all your experiences, I'm curious, what advice do you have for someone who's just starting out in digital marketing and is trying to choose their focus area? What factors should they consider when making that decision?

As someone who is new to the SEO space, Sam Oh and Ahrefs makes learning easy. Awesome story too, seems turbulent and dramatic. Glad all is well and better now, thanks for your work!

I'm a beginner in this. And I loved and appreciated this video. Will probably have to watch it another time to really take in all of the information. Thanks for making it

Along the lines of your vid, appreciate all the effort you put out in sharing your experience and teaching fundamentals. Some vids actually run along so fast, esp. since I'm unfamiliar with the AHREFs UI and taking in new concepts that they can be frustrating to follow. You're familiar with a decade of repetition, I'm not … still, after multple rewinds, learned a bunch about the approach and the main key of what SEO is today. And you're so right: learning vs doing is an eye-opening experience. I worked for an agency around 2005, but much has changed!

This was incredibly exciting to learn and hear. Thanks for sharing!

[Blitzkid]

This was tremendously helpful, thank you! I have an education in retail which is, due to the decline of brick and mortar stores, problematic. I plan on branching out into Digital Marketing, getting a certification from an accredited Institute and then focus on SEO.

[glassmountain]

Intentional learning, is followed by intentional doing. This was so simple, yet so important. Thank you!

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 871 subs and > 500 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
