SEO is dead. 💀

Well, not completely. Eventually the way we search for information and thus SEO will truly be dead.

Marc Andreessen, a virtual founder of the internet as we know it today, said just as much.

The way we search is archaic.

You search for a keyword, you’re presented with a list of websites that the answer might be in, then you’re supposed to open each one to dig around for the answer?

Eventually, when the technology is good enough, we’ll get most of our answers from AI.

This may be in 3 years or 10 years.

As an SEO professional, are you screwed?

No.

Right now, you think you’re “an SEO”, but you’re not. Or at least I hope you’re not.

What you’re really learning and crafting right now is Entrepreneurship.

Sure, the tool that you use every day for the past whatever years is SEO, but that’s a marketing tool.

But if you’re doing this the right way, you’re becoming an Entrepreneur. You’ve learned:

✔️ How to find product-market fix
✔️ How to sell
✔️ How to hire
✔️ How to build systems
✔️ How to scale

Now, let's suppose AI takes over search.

Is there any better person to take advantage of the wave of new opportunities that will surface and have already started surfacing?

We’ve been glued to AI news from the beginning, we’ve been using the LLMs, and we know how to build businesses and find product market fit.

People will always search for information. They'll just search for it in new ways.

We’re in the BEST POSITION POSSIBLE for a pivot.

Just make sure you’re agile enough to act on it.

@levelsio That’s them fancy neighborhoods 😂

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

My MRR is $0 but I have no debt and a small pile of cash. I should really build another business.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@WordpressEagle Looking forward to it. 🙂

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@UKCarlBroadbent @SeanDoesLife You’re reviewing XXX products now?!? Didn’t know you got into the adult space 🤣 (jk of its not obv)

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@ArielleCPX Glad I sold before all this mess. 😅

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

I feel like I don’t understand the “a bit of computer science” section of Odin Project enough to proceed further.

Recursion, time and space complexity, data structures and algorithms, linked lists, hash maps, binary search trees. All kicking my ass.

Redoing them all! 🆘

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

I started learning how to code on September 24th, 2023 with @freeCodeCamp. I’ll track my progress here.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@iamatifriaz Does the scripter built into a tool called Razor for the video game Ultima Online count?

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@freeCodeCamp Today I've completed Harvard CS50. Enjoy the MS Paint art.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@merycodes I wake up and go back to learning vanilla JS. 😅

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@wtravishubbard I'm at the trying to get good at my craft part.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@freeCodeCamp Odin Javascript 75% Complete. Harvard CS50 75% complete. Today, we knock out the rest of CS50. 🧑‍💻

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@michaelkprk I’m still sticking with Odin. I’m at the part of Odin JS path that introduces more CS topics and Data Structures and Algorithms so I thought it would be a good time to go through CS50 before continuing Odin. I’m just doing the video material if CS50.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

We’re tackling more Harvard CS50 today. Over 50% complete now. Diving into the python chapter today.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

Doing CS50 from Harvard since I’m currently in the “a bit of computer science” portion of TOP.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

@DiabeticGameGuy I’ll check it out. I’m doing The Odin Project right now. Have you seen it before?

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

Going through Harvard CS50 and it’s a great free resource in YouTube if you’re wanting to get into coding.

Today I’m tackling the arrays portion of this course.

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

Data structures and algorithms 😵‍💫

[Wesley Oaks @oakswes]

Knocking out the arrays lecture of Harvard CS50. So far it’s mostly review except seeing these things done in C with memory management is new and interesting.

Also, seeing the professor having to declare types. Which I guess I’ll learn with typescript and I get there.
