Idea Behind Company
Bruce conceived the idea for 1ON1 SEO Training after selling his successful digital marketing agency, Design & Promote. His passion for teaching SEO became apparent through free seminars and consultations he had provided in the past. Reflecting on these experiences, Bruce recognized a gap in the market: businesses often lack a thorough understanding of SEO and its long-term benefits.
Inspired by his wife’s success as a virtual French teacher, Bruce envisioned applying a similar teaching model to his expertise. He aimed to simplify SEO for businesses by addressing common challenges, such as the complexities of traditional agency contracts, misunderstandings about SEO reporting, and unnecessary outsourcing of simple tasks. This vision laid the foundation for his innovative training model, emphasizing affordability and client empowerment.
Creating the Company
Bruce’s transition to launching his new business was deliberate and strategic. He structured 1ON1 SEO Training to tackle inefficiencies he observed in traditional SEO services. By eliminating long-term contracts, Bruce offered a month-to-month model, making his services more accessible. His training also focused on demystifying SEO reports, ensuring clients could track their progress and understand the value of their efforts.
The curriculum Bruce developed emphasized actionable steps tailored to each client’s business needs. Tasks traditionally outsourced, such as directory submissions or image optimization, became part of the training, enabling clients to save money and build self-sufficiency. His service evolved into a structured program that provided weekly lessons, personalized plans, and practical SEO techniques.
Launching the Business
Starting 1ON1 SEO Training required minimal initial investment. Bruce spent just $9 to purchase a domain and leveraged his existing resources to set up his business. His expertise in SEO allowed him to optimize his website and build an online presence effectively, showcasing the very skills he teaches his clients.
Bruce’s marketing strategy revolved around three pillars of SEO: keywords, content, and backlinks. By focusing on these areas, he grew his own rankings and built trust with potential clients. His virtual-only model, established during the COVID-19 pandemic, expanded his reach and helped him cater to a broader, international audience.
Earnings
Since its inception, 1ON1 SEO Training has generated over $10,000 monthly in revenue. Bruce attributes this success to consistent efforts in refining his SEO strategies and maintaining a strong focus on client engagement. His daily operations involve client consultations, website optimizations, and continuous improvement of his own online presence.
As the business thrives, Bruce looks to expand further, targeting new geographic and niche markets. He adapts to the ever-changing SEO landscape by experimenting with strategies and staying ahead of industry trends. The pandemic’s shift to virtual operations has only reinforced his model, allowing him to cater to clients worldwide effectively.
