But if you are confident enough on your knowledge of SEO, you can work as full time too and can even start a SEO company. You are sure to find enough work from the market around you.

And he is more than happy to pay for SEO work separately. He wants his site to be ahead of the competition and listed well in the search engines.

4) SEO is not as easy as building Rome in a day. You require months of efforts to rank. You must have patience as it is not an overnight play. So if you stop your efforts for time being you can loose your ranking a lot.
5) Also you need to be aware of the black hat SEO techniques. Many good and ethical SEO practitioners suffer due to it.
