    I value your videos and your SEO course but this time I just don’t agree with you.
    Focusing on SEO only is terrible advice, because it’s very risky. What are you going to do the day you lose 90% of your free Google traffic?
    You don’t have to master e-mail marketing or social media marketing to use them, and you’re taking a huge risk by not using them and relying on SEO only.
    I understand that your goal with these videos is to promote your SEO tools, but you’re going too far here.

      Appreciate your comment. I think there’s a misunderstanding here 🙂 I’m not suggesting to focus only on SEO. The video also talks about branching out to other areas where you have transferrable skills. The reason for this is because the learning curve will be shallower. SEO is also just an example based on my own experience and has nothing to do with our tools.

      The main point that I think is being missed here is that you cannot ‘master’ your craft if you’re trying to learn everything in digital marketing at once. This is a common ‘trap’ that new people to the field fall into. Imo, it’s counterproductive to growth – especially in an ocean as vast as DM.

    Not consuming any more content before I implement everything I’ve learned first….best way of avoiding shiny object syndrome. So very true.
