You know what irritates me the most? All the “How to start a SEO Company” articles from quote “SEOs” who havnt even broken 100K in annual revenue. Nothing makes my blood boil more than seeing underachieved people telling people how to strategically start a SEO company. Let’s step back for a minute, I understand what I just wrote seems very salty, however keep in mind that I’m not taking away achievements made by anyone, it’s just I believe in order to give SOLID STARTUP ADVICE, YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOURSELF.
