Key Takeaways of the presentation by Christopher Hofman Laursen

  1. Enhancing Skills Through SEO Side Projects:
    • SEO consultants can significantly improve their consulting capabilities by initiating and managing their own side projects.
    • Side projects provide practical experience that complements theoretical knowledge, leading to more effective client solutions.
  2. Business Understanding and Empathy:
    • Running a side project fosters a holistic understanding of business operations, beyond specialized tasks like SEO.
    • This comprehensive perspective enhances empathy towards clients, allowing consultants to better grasp and address their clients’ challenges and priorities.
  3. Efficient SEO Content Creation:
    • Implementing smarter content creation methods, such as an audio-to-text method and leveraging AI tools, increases productivity and content quality.
    • Utilizing these techniques ensures that content is both unique and insightful, which can be directly applied to client projects for improved outcomes.
  4. Effective Link Building Strategies:
    • Side projects serve as a testing ground for various link-building tactics, including infographics and expert panels.
    • Experimenting with and refining these strategies in side projects leads to more robust and effective link-building approaches that can enhance SEO performance for clients.
  5. Outsourcing to Optimize Time and Resources:
    • Consultants should identify their strengths and outsource tasks that are time-consuming or outside their expertise.
    • This approach not only saves time but also allows consultants to focus on high-impact activities, thereby increasing overall efficiency and effectiveness.
