Hopeless with Career Choices? Confused on what path you wish to follow? Well here we are looking at something original and exciting when it comes to Careers. A lot of people are having a rough time with employment, especially with the recent recession and so this article is written with these people in mind, people who are looking for unique ideas or simply just a dash of inspiration. The role we will be looking at is “Search Engine Optimisation” because as far as Career Choices go, this one is still reasonably new and is commonly overlooked. When you first read it, it appears kind of scary, it sounds like something you probably need a lot of training for, sometimes even a university degree. But the truth is, Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO, has many different layers and can be adapted to a persons needs. Like a lot of New Careers, there is some training involved, but only a small amount in order to prepare you for the role ahead.
The main purpose behind SEO is to take on clients and assist them in pushing their website onto page one of a search engine such as Google or Bing. Again you may be thinking that this is as technical as Careers can get, so we’ll now look at what’s involved in the work behind SEO. As mentioned before, there are different levels of technicality based on how skilled you are and how far you want to take it. Initially you will need to gain a client to work with and then you will need to inspect their website and decide on ways in which to make it more relevant to the subject and how to integrate special “Keywords” which are used to relate to a customers search query. This work can be complete in a variety of ways, for those who are technical and confident enough, they can take the website hands on and actually incorporate the improvements themselves. For those who do not have that sort of background, this part of the job can be as easy as just pointing out where to develop the site and agreeing with the client on desired changes, after all, most clients will have a web developer who created the website and it can simply fall to him/her to make the changes.
After the initial website optimisation is finished, the second part includes looking “behind” the website at the actual coding. Now this is when your Careers training becomes important, because this section of the job needs to be looked at as it is important to achieving page one. For this portion of the job you will have to find changes that should be made within the code for the website, but again, depending on your level of experience this can literally be as simple as just pointing to what needs to be adjusted. The changes being made here are simple “tags” that can be added, again adding in those “keywords”. It can involve tagging pictures or creating useful anchor text. Finally, after this is complete, the website is optimised and now all that is left is to promote it. This is the biggest part of the job and can be taken on in many ways. The ultimate goal is to make sure that the website gains acknowledgment and is preferably linked to from some reputable sources.
That more or less sums up SEO, just one of hundreds of New Careers that can give the flexibility of self employment and be tailored to your own abilities.
