Mitch Lee's Linkedin Analytics

In 2013, I made my first $20 online. I built an email list and sold that traffic to others. But when my list burned out, I didn't know where else to turn. This is what I did: I scoured the internet looking for solutions and other internet marketing tactics. And that's when I dove deep into the world of SEO. I knew I wanted to do SEO and build brands online. I spent sleepless nights absorbing all the information I could. But SEO was a long game. My wife (fiancee at the time) and I needed to survive. There were days where we overdrafted our bank accounts on purpose just to make it to the next paycheck. Then it happened. In 2014, I landed a job in Tampa, FL to do SEO My career moved quickly, and I became a principal advisor within three years. From them til now, my career progressed quickly. I became a digital marketing lead at a fortune 100. Throughout that time, I worked on several freelance SEO projects - from small to enterprise. My wife and I caught a break. We no longer needed to scrape by for groceries at Walmart. But one thing stopped me from going all-in on my own business. It was self-doubt. It was rooted near my core and projected into my safe career path. When chatGPT disrupted SEO, I knew I needed to go all in. The industry is moving faster than the workplace, and starting my agency would be a way for me to stay on top. My previous clients transitioned into the new agency, and Coast Rank was born. The results? Complete coverage for every category our clients compete in, allowing them to buy back their time to spend it on what really matters.
