SEO That Works: What is it?

​

​

​

​

Well, the SEO that works course is a premium product that Brian has put together to help others learn how to repeat his success. I am not new to blogging either and run a few sites that generate 10,000 to 17,000 page views per month and as such I have paid for my fair share of on-line courses. I also run my own SEO and content marketing agency (you are reading my agency blog) so I knew a fair bit already.

Now although I have had some great success with my work in the past, I struggled with consistent results. I would often just write what I thought or felt would do well after some keyword research and publish, then share to groups I had developed and connected with. This did well most of the time but not all my posts worked out the same. I often spent ages on a post and got low returns. I was hoping Brians SEO That Works course would help to fix this.

Inside The SEO That Works Course

When I entered the course, I was impressed. It has a great look and feel to the site; it is very professional and I tested it on both a laptop and tablet and it worked fine.You do not get access to the whole course right away; this is a format where you get new material each week and Brian calls these modules and each one is packed with videos and material.

Now when you go to a course and it has this week by week thing you get annoyed because you want it all now. Well, this couldn’t happen with this course. You would simply be overloaded with tasks and information. I could not keep up the schedule. However, it is cool because you have access to the course forever and you can take your own time.

The videos in the course feature a combination of over the shoulder and Brian Dean teaching on white screen background. It is very stylish and Brian speaks clearly so you can understand exactly what he says.

Inside, you learn step by step about Brian’s proven content frameworks and the science behind them. You will learn not only how Brian works but also how he promotes and creates his content on Backlinko. Along the way, you will see people talk about their examples and success in the course (I am featured in one of those examples).

You also get cool mini bonus videos under each module as well. No stone is left unturned and by the end of the course, your knowledge is lifted to a new level.

After you get your final module sent you will get access to the bonus content and this is pure gold. Brian gives you interviews with leading experts in a variety of fields and then you also get Brians guide to building a blog. You could spend the next six months just going back and forth through the interviews and making notes and putting them into action.

The final aspect of the course is the community. All people in the SEO course get access to a private Facebook community. It is actually a really nice group, polite, supportive and helpful. I have to say this is a great bonus as you get to see the work of others as they share their results.
