Backlinko analyzed 7,051 job postings on Glassdoor and LinkedIn to better understand the current SEO job market.
Given what they found, you should consider SEO if you’re still on the hunt for a profitable skill to learn 🎯
Key findings from the report:
The mean salary for a US-based SEO professional is $60,548 per year.
64.3% [of SEO job postings] don’t have any degree requirements at all.
The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t slow down the number of SEO job postings. In fact, postings for SEO positions seemed to slightly increase during the height of the crisis.
Better yet, you can also use SEO skills to pick up freelance gigs or drive traffic to your own projects. For example, about 90% of traffic to eBiz Facts is organic, which means SEO is responsible for most of our revenue ($9k last month).
