Nice metaphor! Yeah, sometimes whatever how hard you work, you just can work it out right away. It needs time to finish the working.
I think that SEO is very similar to fishing too :).
Christa M. Miller said
At the moment it’s not the watching and waiting that bothers me… it’s the length of time it’s taking. Fishermen still have to go home and feed the family, and all that!
ME Liz Strauss said
Hi Christa,
Just keep collecting your experience and keep asking “how do I contribute?” The fish will come.
ME Liz Strauss said
Yeah, Clarky,
Susie and Des offered a lovely metaphor here. It works for me too!
Suzie Cheel said
@Clarky
I love that about SEO- and I tatally agree
@Christa
I understand how you feel, Liz’ suggestion is great advice
Thanks Liz
Suzie
