How to Learn SEO Free:

Article Guides, Video

Tutorials & Courses

Greetings, this is Joanna Vaiou and today it is a great day as I made time to prepare a

“how to learn SEO Free for Beginners ” TOP Resources” List.

Many times I am asked by social media acquaintances how easy or hard learning SEO

is and if it is free (or how much it costs to learn SEO).

Why I Personally Share my TOP Free SEO for Beginners Training Resources I started learning SEO by myself online in March 2009.

I shared more details about my SEO Solopreneur Career journey in a few international

media outlets.

To sum it up, when I first started, I had no mentor to teach me by my side how SEO

works.

The Struggle was REAL… How the Past 11 Years of my Life Went Since I Started my SEO Learning Journey.

1. It took me 4 years to start my own remote SEO business. 2. It took 4 more years to become profitable.

3. It took 3 more years to start living a lifestyle that includes traveling, saving, investing and spending money as per my priorities & desires.

I soon realized I had to learn all things related to Search Engine Optimization science

and art on my own.

Today I am giving back to my much younger self who struggled and anyone else who wants to learn SEO and save some struggle along the way. After 11 years from the start of my SEO career, I am sharing an A-Level list of free

beginners’ SEO resources.

Why?

If I was a beginner today I would want to be offered the same.

I have consumed and used all the resources I am sharing with you today and this is why I

recommend them here.

All these resources have helped me become a better SEO Professional and reach where I

am today.

Today I am giving back to all of you who are thinking of changing your life and in the

future pursue a new job or a professional career in the SEO industry.

I am a Client SEO and also an Investor (I invest in my own SEO Projects).

As we speak, I run a 15 Total SEO Projects Management remote business.

While I don’t do SEO Training 101, I can give you my own personal wealth of Free

SEO resources for complete beginners for you to start educating yourself and

understand if:

1. you are right for SEO 2. SEO is right for you.

I Struggled to Learn SEO Fast I did struggle for real.

I struggled with information overload.

I cried as I had no one by my side to motivate me to keep going.

Nevertheless, I stuck to my guns.

I relied on my own power and worked on my own motivation through my involvement

with Personal Development (another investment I made simultaneously to my SEO

self-educational investment).

It took me four years to feel confident enough and start my own remote SEO company.

Today, you don’t have to struggle in order to start educating yourself around SEO.

You will need though to work on your own motivation sources and build an amazing

relationship with yourself.

All the SEO free tutorials and resources that I am sharing with you today are in the

form of:

1. Article training materials & guides 2. Video training playlists from YouTube 3. PDF

I have compiled an A-List with 15 Top FREE SEO learning & training Resources for

Beginners for you to access at your own pace.

Please note: MOZ offers all its courses for free through the end of May 2020.

Make sure you sign-up for MOZ Search Engine Optimization courses in time.

My SEO industry and the global community are AWESOME.

What you don’t need to learn SEO A great budget to learn SEO is not needed.

I remember when I started, I had 1300 Euros saved from all the previous years’ jobs that I

had and decided not to go to another job but sit down and learn SEO.

Fact: There are so many amazing free SEO educational resources laying around online

by TOP reputable SEO companies and brands.

The budget you really need to

start learning SEO is for:

1. Buying a domain and installing a WordPress website/blog on it 2. Paying for its monthly/yearly hosting

The above costs are for you to practice all the things that you will be learning from

the free SEO courses/resources that I am sharing with you today.

Fact: Learning SEO as a beginner is not easy.

Learning SEO Free requires the

following:

1. Your Positivity 2. Your Passion 3. Your undivided time 4. Your laser focus

5. Your willingness and comfort in spending countless hours online, reading, following SEO recommendations by your chosen online resources

6. Your never-ending “SEO knowledge updating” appetite and 7. Willingness to always test new SEO strategies and improve your SEO skills through trial

and error

Few of the TOP SEO Companies:

1. AHREFS 2. SEMrush 3. MOZ

, as well some other Search Engine Optimization Specialists from USA whose training

I have been consuming religiously, offer free training guides for those beginners who

want to learn SEO for free but don’t want to GO INSANE due to:

1. INFORMATION OVERLOAD online with the quantity and quality of SEO courses and teachings

2. Not knowing where to focus their attention and time on

My aim with sharing these resources with you is for you to understand if you can see

yourself doing SEO longterm.

The information here is more than enough for you to understand and go from SEO

beginner to owning the basics of SEO knowledge that can set you off to a new job or

professional career path.

You may choose your favorite type of training resources or your favorite SEO brand from

my list according to how you learn SEO better.

Some of us learn better with online step-by-step SEO training videos while others like to

read articles.
