- [00:45] The biggest thing that Eric and Neil are seeing right now is that the path to success has changed.
- [01:18] If you spend a year practicing SEO on your own website, that’s no longer the way to go.
- [01:35] You should practice on someone else’s older website.
- [01:52] Hit up a ton of people offering your services for free.
- [02:00] It’s easier to grow a business than it is to start one.

- [02:45] When you develop your skills for free, you will eventually earn clients.
- [03:14] You will probably have to email 15-17 people before you get a solid “yes” when it comes to offering your services for free.
- [03:40] Make sure that the person to whom you offer your services is as committed as you are.
- [03:59] Even if you are working for free, make sure you get a contract to get the time that you need.
