I mainly look for singers but this one rapper tonight caught my attention and has it. I gave him my number but he hasn't hit me up. I hope so. Whoever nets him is sitting on a golden egg.

On which aspect? I kind of wrote alot there and each subject could be it's own book lol.
But in short SEO is just ranking highly for specific keywords. For example Tyga is searched for more than 550,000 times a month on google. If you could rank on the first page for the keyword Tyga, then imagine how much organic traffic you'll have to your website, video, or whatever it is you want people to see. PPC is just internet marketing terminology, short for Pay Per Click. Google adwords is a form of PPC, youtube ads are PPC, facebook ads can be PPC. Adwords are those ads to the right of a a search query in google that you see. Companies/people bid on particular keywords for the right to have positioning on the right side, top and bottom. So, if I made a PPC ad for "Tyga" A portion of those 550,000 people that search for Tyga will click on my ad and they'll land on my website or whatever. Tyga is just an example and a relatively bad one at that. It'll cost you $4 a click for an adwords ad, which most likely won't be profitable.
The key to SEO and Adwords for that matter are to look for low competition keywords. So you can rank much easier and faster and so you can create Ads and don't have to pay much per click. "Thot" for example is a great keyword. It's being searched for over 200,000 times, has low competition and would cost you less than 50 cents per click. If you had a product or service that caters to whoever is searching for that term, you could potentially make some money.
I just got an email from my keyword tracking software that showed me a large boost in my search ranking for some keywords on a site that I've been working on for the last 5 months [yeah SEO takes time, google sandboxes new sites and it'll take months before you'll see any movement, but there's tactics you can use to get around this]
The keyword at #1 has 50,000 monthly searches and my site is currently number 12 on google for it. Hopefully I crack the top 10 in a few days so I can be on the first page. If I were to add a few more backlinks and social book marks I could get it to number one in a week. The shytty thing is I was supposed to get a backlink from a very reputable blog with PR 8. The author still hasn't written the article, which was supposed to come out months ago smfh.
This shyt is not really as complicated as it may seem. It can get as complicated as you make it though. If you want to learn how to learn structure backlinks and figure all the intricacies to do that then feel free. Or you can do like me and pay to play, and it's alot cheaper than you may think. You just have to know who and where to spend the money.

This isn't something to recommend for someone who first needs to educate themselves, test then get efficient.
I won't even get into the pitfalls of PPC/mediabuying. ?He's better off learning how to market/sell these services and passing off the
work to seo companies and digital agencies. That way he gets more time to pursue his passion without doing the grunt work.
And I love it. I need a part-time gig asap. shyt isn't easy and thank God for the internet. I, personally, see why so few have all the money. They deserve it.A plethora of people are not good at all. Sad since the demand for quality music and performance is at an all-time high. Not physical copies but people stream the same songs over and over. Go pay to see the same people perform because most people aren't good.
meanwhile you'll get the usual suspects on the Coli talk about how "there's so much good music out there. Just turn off the radio."
Like the Internet isn't one colossal wasteland when it comes to media
Check a few posts after the one you quoted. I mentioned that you can make things as complicated or easy as you like. Understanding how to spend the money and where to spend the money is the key. I've made some somewhat expensive mistakes and have been able to correct them with some really inexpensive ones.
But the reason I mention that you try and get an understanding of some of it, is so you can avoid doing what I did. Which is outsourcing SEO to the wrong people. For example in my opinion, and this is just my opinion. Never outsource to an SEO agency without a direct backlink building strategy. Either they have some black/grey hat or they have connections to bloggers at top PR/DA websites. Also you can outsource it piecewise which would be much cheaper. For me it's much cheaper to outsource the content generation to a good copywriter or the equivalent. I'v got writers that'll write you good 2000+ word articles for ~$40. Otherwise you're going to spend thousands a month on a minimum 3-6 month contract for so-so or even no results. This is for SEO. I would however recommend outsourcing PPC. No matter how much you spend, if done correctly PPC should always be a profitable. Why? Because they're just split testing ads. $5 on each ad and run it for a few days. Toss the ones that didn't produce any results, scale up on the ads that did. If the ads aren't producing results then something is wrong somewhere in the sales funnel or your offering a product that people don't want.
PPC is not for the faint of heart, you need discipline and deep pockets to split test keywords/landing pages/ad copy then tailor this skillset to whatever your objective is.
Well that's your experience, had you done some research and only targeted the top SEO firms you wouldn't face this problem. One of the business models
we ran is just interviewing the best digital agencies and finding out who their best/most profitable clients are and arranging an introduction fee with royalties
for bring them more clients with that ideal budget spend.
It was usually investment banks/hedgefunds/private equity/commercial real estate brokers, law firms and government depts we signed up.
Best part is we never dealt with the client once the deal was signed....
What you don't want to do is learn SEO/PPC and all that stuff then struggle to get clients....or worse yet
Deal with braindead business owners who call you everyday asking where their site is on Google...
