This guide is based on Mixergy’s interview with Gabriel Machuret.
After quitting his job as a scuba diving instructor when his wife was expecting their second child, Gabriel Machuret built a successful search engine optimization (SEO) business and made an extra $100,000 in a year. It was all done using strategies he learned from Mixergy, so we invited him to teach you how to do it.
Gabriel is an SEO consultant whose website is InternetNinja.com.au.
Here are the actionable highlights from the interview.
Gabriel hired webmasters and graphic designers in the Philippines, and he gave them a handbook and a program for sharing work files.
Gabriel was embarrassed by his Colombian accent, but when he told customers where he came from they were supportive and he learned that some of them had ties to Colombia too.
Gabriel realized that poor time management was making him miss weekend swimming with his family, and he decided to log in to Time Doctor each morning and give himself assignments.
Gabriel was eager to sell hemorrhoid creams after he watched an interview about affiliate marketing, but his wife convinced him that it would be wiser to keep building his SEO brand.
Gabriel was so uncomfortable sending invoices that he would apologize to his customers, so now he has software send the invoices automatically.
Gabriel asked someone if she had worked with SEO companies in the past, and he learned that she had worked with the top SEO companies in the country and had sued them all.
