In part two we discussed the importance of content creators, and how they give life to an otherwise stagnant website. Why that content gives a website life comes from the results of search engine optimization (SEO). Search engine optimization is a process meant to increase a website’s visitor traffic. Think of this concept as what will determine the difference between someone’s business (website) being in a popular shopping mall, or a corner store somewhere on a side street. That is my best analogy of what SEO represents for your website in terms of receiving visitor traffic. This is a profitable market online, because getting first page results on search engines means more sales for your business!
The Traffic Control Team, SEO Specialists, and Ninjas
It is important to note that the concept of search engine optimization (SEO) is an ever evolving creature that is not easily tamed. You could hire a VA to get your website on the first page one month with success. You are very happy and feel super smart, as you pay them for a job well done and part ways, but then six months down the road you find your website is now found three pages or more, in the search results. This is why SEO is such a profitable market, because it is more of an ongoing war than it is a single objective to battle. Here are the profitable skills involved with the SEO process.
Publishers
· Publishers are individuals who controls a blog’s/website’s content, they also have a network of bloggers/graphic designers with whom they can share content.
· the publisher is in charge of maintaining a websites content schedule
· must build connections, and maintain relationships with a website’s PR networks/publicists
· Publishers have an understanding of building links, authority, connections, and relationships in relation to search engine optimization.
· Works with web developers to get website listed with multiple search engines, and get webpages indexed.
Content/Social Media Marketers

· Works with publishers to help maintain connections with blogger/publicist networks and relations, to increase reach/authority in the public eye.
· These folks are the ninjas that promote content and push links to go viral. Content does not just “go viral”, without any marketing.

All Hail the Virtual Assistant
Since I have started my internet ventures, I have quickly realized how time consuming this line of work can be. Now that I have identified the notable job functions for starting a website with a consistent pulse, I will tell you that there is no other position online that is more underrated (in terms of profit) as the virtual assistant! If you are contemplating starting your own website, whether it’s ecommerce or just a blog, I suggest you hook yourself up with a reliable virtual assistant, preferably one who is familiar with all the skills I have mentioned in this series. This would be one of the most profitable decisions you could make for your online business, because the right VA (virtual assistant) will save you so much time on regularly scheduled activities for your website that you would be able to focus on growth and development. I could spend a whole day’s worth of work on just social media networking alone, and I have a microscopic audience compared to those who have been online for a few years already. Recognize your skills/strengths and hire/partner your weaknesses.
