An SEO marketing career is not for everyone. For one thing there are risks to being an SEO affiliate marketer as there are no guarantee that you will have sales. No business is foolproof and the same goes for an SEO business that is based on affiliate marketing.
In order to succeed at SEO marketing you must have an entrepreneurial. An entrepreneurial spirit is one that likes what they do, is turned on by the risk of freelancing and that is competitive and ambitious (even if the odds seem stacked against them). If you are the type that yearns for other peoples approval, security and frequent pets on the head for a job well done then this career is not for you.
Individuals who have an entrepreneurial spirit are good at multi-tasking. They learn from their mistakes and are not overwhelmed by what to other people would seem to be catastrophes. They are also curious and looking for the next wave or new thing. They also know how to take the latest trend and turn it into an SEO website. A great SEO marketer can turn a single word into massive profits in just under a month by utilizing clever keywords.
Successful entrepreneurs also tend to have very good gut...
