Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you...I am honestly not looking for specifics...just a general idea of what most people concentrate on. Ad revenue, how it works, how to get started etc.

I know...very odd beginner question so let me elaborate.  I have always worked in the corporate grind. I quit and opened up a couple of small (fairly unsuccessful) businesses since 2007.  I enjoyed the SEO parts of building the business but just couldn't get them to stick. (local service businesses)  I have fallen into some lead gen business with my old customers and I am trying to build that now.

How are the majority of the SEO people earning income here? Are most selling their SEO services to other small businesses?  Are most earning ad type income here? (how does that work?)  I am quickly being forced back into the corporate grind again and would really prefer to learn and taylor my SEO efforts into staying self employed if possible.

Would anyone be able to direct me to sites that might explain how entrepreneurs are earning income around here?  A little 'Career Counseling' of sorts?  (haha)  I sincerely would appreciate some enlightenment.
