I learned SEO by tracking the search engines uptake of my coded product and then its empirical results.
I really paid little attention to SEO hacks from promoters
Unfortunately, search engines are always changing their uptake processes and ranking algorithms and what worked last week may not work a month from now.
So, when you are not a brand with all the "bells and whistles" --real SEO is not very stable and page 1 SERPS on popular keywords is near impossible. So, if you can scrape enough crumbs (low volume long tails) you can make some money.

but it would be great if you suggest something better than that https://www.affiliatefix.com/threads/do-you-spend-1-hour-daily-learning-seo.169952/#post-665663
Okay, I haven't done any SEO for years but as far as I can tell, there are two things that remain as true today as they did then:
- Optimize content and UX with your site visitors in mind and worry about Google less.
Yes, certainly be informed and understand how they operate if you find it helpful, use whatever tools work but in the end, your visitors are the most important part of the equation. Without them, you won't come up high in the SERPS anyway.
- Google WILL, not MIGHT change things on you.
I remember the first animal (Penguin? Panda?) change, when people were deleting hundreds of pages from their websites in order to be compliant and site owners losing their search ranking for unscrupulous sites linking to them through no fault of their own. It was madness and mayhem across the internet. That's Google for ya.
All that said, I believe that Honeybadger knows these things and uses them to his advantage. He's also gained a ton of knowledge about the working of SEO, so he can do any turnarounds and modifications pretty quickly, I imagine. And it sounds like things are working for him, too.
I, like Graybeard, have no love for Google but I recognize the benefit it is to a lot of people who want to work with it, no question. Different strokes for different folks.
Things change in life, so if you tire of it down the road Honeybadger, so what? You'll just delve into some other interesting method. Knowledge doesn't usually go to waste. And if you never tire of it, you'll be an expert - a 'guru" but a real one.
Meanwhile, keep having fun. Enjoy the journey and the rewards!

Giving 1 hour a day is enough to learn SEO.

I just started studying and spending about 3 hours a day.
I'm with you on that one, I used to spend more than an hour daily for a looong while but not I spend 2-3 hours a week. But it definitely helps with content creation especially the keyword research for me. I mean why create content that people won't be searching for?
Why is no one mentioning Ahrefs though? I'm a big fan and have been following them for months now.

Ahrefs is well respected in SEO circles
But dont use it myself
Already chose Semrush.com
Its creator is Neil Patel
Probably the best online marketer in the world
Won a lifetime membership from the @T J Tutor competition
No reason to use Ahrefs now
Thats why
Semrush is a very cool tool as well. It's even more expensive than Ahrefs.
About $20 difference if you pay the subscription monthly. Ahrefs is about $100 a month and Semrush is about %120.
Guys SEO is so easy
