Ever been in a position where it looks like you aren't doing enough or getting anywhere? I have! Progress can be painstakingly slow. It may seem like the road leads to nowhere, but in reality, it does. There is so much difference 4 - 5 months can make to your career and growth trajectory. The last five months have been filled with learning and hands-on practice since I decided to transition to #techseo. I hustled my way into getting an #internship role Facility Solutions Group towards the end of June, thanks to the amazing Bryan E. Robinson. We both go way back (2022), when we used to be pod mates. When I cold DMed him I was transitioning to tech SEO, he went the extra mile to not just get me in, he gave me access to learn. And learning I did, the hard way. 😁 No, he didn't pamper-teach me or pat me on the back. It's always deep in the water style, then says "Let me know if there is something you don't understand." So it was hard and fast lane, always. I learnt a lot and truly loved the #seo game of the #FSG brand. A wonderful three months I had, can't lie. Thanks to Bryan and Andrew Ghilino, I took part in: 1. Multiple schema markup tasks. 2. Took part in formatting over 280 pages after the brand migrated to a new website host. 3. Designed over 15 blog outlines for new and existing blog posts, adding an FAQ schema. And other notable SEO stuff that I had no idea of as of May, this year. Don't they say it only gets better from here? Thank you, Bryan E. Robinson for this wonderful learning opportunity and this priceless recommendation. I am made for this SEO path, and all in is what I am going for. Thank you chima mmeje🏳️🌈and the The Freelance Coalition For Developing Countries, for awakening this side of me. Sodiq Ajala !

Thanks to The Freelance Coalition For Developing Countries and chima mmeje🏳️🌈, I got access to Ryan Law's content marketing course How to edit for content Marketing. One principle from that course is MECE. MECE stands for Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive, a framework that ensures your content has no gaps and no overlaps. Here's how it works: Before MECE: I wrote an SEO guide that randomly jumped between keyword research, technical optimisation, link building, and content strategy. This makes readers confused because topics overlapped, and some critical elements were missing. After MECE: I reorganised into four distinct categories: - Technical Foundation (site speed, crawlability, indexing) - Content Strategy (keyword research, topic clusters, intent matching) - Authority Building (backlinks, brand mentions, E-E-A-T) - Measurement (analytics setup, conversion tracking, attribution) Each section covers everything needed (exhaustive) without bleeding into others (mutually exclusive). The result? My first drafts now require minimal restructuring because they're logically organised from the start. If you're learning to self-edit, Ryan Law's framework is worth checking out. Thank you 🍀Subrata Dhar for suggesting FCDC. #selfediting #contentediting #fcdc

If you want me to talk non-stop for over an hour, ask me a question about building a career in content. I'm putting my enthusiasm to good use by coaching a mentee in The Freelance Coalition For Developing Countries 2025 mentorship program. Excited for the next eight weeks 🙌🏾
