SEO Training Review

Hi, I’m Emily Journey. I am a WordPress Trainer and SEO consultant for marketing teams, IT departments, business owners, and administrative staff. When you have practical knowledge and understand Search Engine Optimization, you can:

  • Increase profit margins
  • Make more sales
  • Decrease your Google Ad spend

Personally, I don’t know any professional that would pass up those benefits. (Myself included!)

Getting here

When I started learning WordPress, I did it the way many of you have tried: without help.
Finally, after almost two years of persistent effort and building a few websites on trade, I had a solid handle on the platform.

I didn’t stop there.

I hired a virtual coach in Denver to teach me Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

During our Zoom training sessions, I was impressed with how easily he communicated his knowledge and authority on the topic – he provided answers for questions I didn’t even know to ask! That was my first experience with virtual learning and it was worth every penny.

Despite my initial hesitations about virtual training, I am thankful that I took the plunge. I know it can seem “not quite as good” as face-to-face learning. I wondered:

  • Could I really learn this way?
  • Would I get as much value from the training?

Thankfully, I didn’t let my doubts get the best of me. That virtual training experience not only changed the way I did business – it changed my life.

I invested in WordPress and SEO training for the same reason you’re here today: independence. For me, I wanted the independence to transition from selling for other people to selling my own material.

For you, independence may mean something different. Maybe you want to:

  • Save money by not having to hire someone to do this for you.
  • Break free from a reliance on an unresponsive marketing agency.
  • Equip your marketing department to handle the website and SEO work in-house.
  • Handle this responsibility that’s been handed to you by your boss.

My path to mastering WordPress and SEO led me down a road of trial and error, a bad experience with an affordable website designer, launching my own web design agency, and meeting all kinds of business owners.

Your journey may look a bit different, but I hope I can help you end up at a similar destination: independent mastery over this powerful platform.
