There is always time to learn

First post from New Zealand! First post from Auckland!

I wanna share with all of you some great news.

I arrived in Auckland on october 19th, and I had the opportunity to make some job interviews right away. My jet lag was not that bad, so I was able to manage them quite good (I think). I slept 12 hours straight the first night, and then my time zone was already set on NZDT.

After 4 days of my arrival, I received a very good offer that I decided to take right away, without thinking too much.

2 years as SEO: just a reflection

In these days, I’m celebrating the fact I’ve been an SEO for 2 years.

I want to share with you some random thoughts.

I love fast people.

I don’t know if it’s about being agile, or if you do fitness and so you are more prepared, or whatever…one thing I learnt during these two years is that I LOVE people who think and act FAST. I prefer to make a mistake, learn something and fix the problem. In the time you are still there to think, I tried 12 times already, and I did something. The world would be a better place if people were a bit faster.

Request for all SEOs out there (including me)

I happened to see this tweet. I know Giulia, and now she is a full time marketer at Macmillian Education.

Here you can see my answer too.

BUT, I understand perfectly what she is saying.

SEO community tends to be too close sometimes. SEOs talk about SEO and related stuff in a way only they can understand.

The real challenge here is to let people understand what we are doing, in simple words. It reminds me when I was a molecular biologist. How to explain science to common people? It’s a pity that all the cool stuff scientists are doing are not practically sharable with people, students, kids, parents…

SEO is the same. First of all it would be great to talk only about experiences in order to let people understand if it’s something they can use for their situation. Then, we should be able to explain it in simple words, not so nerdy. Third, please let’s do some cool presentations (too many times I was at conferences , workshops… and I was like…oh my! really?).

SEO is an amazing discipline everyone should understand it and enjoy it. So let’s begin!
