I guess I'm confused. If you are so good at SEO, why waste your time teaching others? Personally, I could make much more money with my time building my own stuff than charging someone some change for lessons. It also seems like you put a lot of work into your clients.

When people ask me to do work for them, I say no 99% of the time. Why? Because it kills the time I have to build and maintain my own sites. I guess I don't see the value in making a few grand teaching, when you can make much more on your own. Not to mention that most SEO'd sites make great residuals. I have a few bringing in close to 10k a month that I haven't touched in 6 months.
