For SEO, there can be challenges that you have to overcome, especially when you’re still learning. But once you’ve gotten over the hump, things can seem to go a lot easier.
Being able to sit behind the computer, creating and running all of your AdWords campaigns, performing marketing tasks, and doing social media may be time consuming, and perhaps a bit challenging, but the difficulty isn’t nearly as horrible as when you all started out on your first day, right? I know that’s certainly true for me. The first day I started doing anything related to SEO, marketing and social media, it was certainly overwhelming. But I finally found my niche in writing and social media, and I went with it. Now things are much more stress free then they were before.
But for some, there are still difficulties to deal with, no matter how experienced you are behind the computer. If you are an SEO, you may know what you’re doing when you’ve got a keyboard under your fingers, and the soft glow of a monitor surrounding you, but when you start having to deal with clients, that’s when things start getting crazy.
