SEO: How Much TO Charge For Content Writing? ?

We Answered:

forget about the budget if you are talking about the getfreelancer. I suggest you bid it based on your own cost since the provider is biding on low cost.

Janice Said:

Is Web Design/Development worth a Full-Time Career/Job?

We Answered:

Unfortunately, another forum member's reference to someone earning $200,000 USD per month sounds somewhat exaggerated; perhaps that figures would be more correctly stated for an annual income.

Nevertheless, getting back to your situation as a web designer "with some development skills," the one singular skill - SEO really makes or breaks your suitability for employment since many web design groups are seeking web designers with practical and published websites with proper SEO styling. And moving to a larger market [NYC/LA] with your current qualifications may not be a good idea. Perhaps beginning a self-learning course of study by reading as much as possible about SEO would prove more beneficial in the long run and will equip you with enough expertise to allow you to apply and be given employment as a web designer/SEO specialist.

Good luck!
