Here's an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal article "Landing a Job of the Future Takes a Two-Track Mind "

Every website should be optimized; many are simply slapped together and thrown up to "see what happens." That's a terrible strategy and philosophy, and by the time the business owner realizes it, she/he doesn't know what to do to make their website rank higher in search results.

This is where you, the SEO specialist comes to the rescue. No kidding.

In an ideal world, the business owner brings you in while dreaming up the site. That's the easiest way to incorporate SEO into a website. You're the SEO support provider of choice, because you know the most up-to-date techniques and processes to allow this new website the best chances of getting indexed for high search results in Google.

Unfortunately, the reality is they're in a hurry to get an online presence, and many of them haven't heard of SEO anyways.

However, once the site is up, not all is lost, because you can rescue the site from the oblivion of being on page 32 of Google search results with your certified SEO skills and knowledge.

Because so many people are mystified by what SEO is, you can show the prospect how SEO will turn her website around and make it earn more money.

Here are some tips to build your SEO career written by John Alexander, the co-founder of Search Engine Academy.

Register for a SEA DC workshop to get your SEO certification.

The Search Engine Academy Washington DC can show you how choosing careers like SEO can pay off rapidly. One attendee decided to offer free lance SEO consulting support services in her area. Three months after obtaining her 5-day SEO workshop certification, she was retained by four businesses that desperately needed SEO help in fixing their websites.

And she partnered with a local graphics/website design firm that sent all their SEO work to her.

If you're an entrepeneur with a product or service to market, take charge of your online marketing presence and master SEO to boost your website's search engine results.

CNN recently published a report showing the top 11 U.S. metropolitan areas where jobs are increasing. They all have the potential for SEO work.
