Do you have any advice for someone looking to become a freelancer?

After some time working in agencies, I’ve kind of realized that I work best with my own processes.

I’m planning on making the jump to freelancing full time soon. I have a few clients under my belt but not enough to sustain me for the moment (enough for rent, bills, insurance, tools, etc) but I’ll very much be broke starting out. My main offer is consulting, but I also provide SEO services and if requested, content creation (I have a few solid content freelancers)

I’m still looking to find a few more clients before making the official jump, but I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for someone getting started. I’d say my biggest pain point is getting and qualifying clients, but I’ll probably start being more aggressive now that my life really depends on it.

Any advice is appreciated. I just want to make sure I do this right since it’s a huge step into the unknown. I’m pretty nervous tbh since I’ll be starting from scratch pretty much, but I know this is the right decision in the long term.

Like I said, any advice will be greatly appreciated

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
