New here - crypto iGaming affiliate, SEO side

[JienHu]

Hey everyone, glad to be here.
I'm a solo operator working in the crypto iGaming affiliate space, mostly focused on the SEO and content side. Background is full-stack, so I build and run my own sites end to end rather than outsourcing.
Lately I've been deep in the weeds on technical SEO for a new site, indexing on fresh domains, schema, the usual new-site authority grind. Looking forward to learning from people further along and contributing where I actually know something (happy to help on SEO, Next(dot)js, and getting started in iGaming affiliate).
Cheers.

Welcome to AffiliateFix!

We've got some full stack devs floating around here that have moved into performance marketing. Most have built teams and delegate instead of doing the work themselves. That may be, at some point, where you'll find your self when needing to grow.

Thanks for the welcome, appreciate it.
That tracks with what I've seen. Right now doing everything myself is a feature, not a bug, since I learn faster when I'm hands-on with the SEO, the build, and the content all at once. But I take your point that it doesn't scale forever. The plan is to systemize the repeatable parts first (content production, technical setup) so that when I do delegate, I'm handing off a process rather than a mess.
Good to know there are others here who've made that jump. I'll be picking brains on how they structured it.

I've always stated in all my business recommendations you can delegate and manage better when you've learned to do the job yourself first.

I was a client/server developer for many years ('96 to 2014) for banks, credit unions, and the medical industry. Some days I really miss it, but then I look at what I earn now and just see it as a fond memory of good times. I started out in 1979 working with PDP1170's, IBM 4330's and '40's, Burroughs, and the Cray at NORAD. Ahh, the good old days of Fortran, COBOL, and Ada (Lovelace). I've forgotten more than I remember from back then.

Now, I'm an old dog just cruzin'!

That's a hell of a run, from PDP-11s and the NORAD Cray to this. Respect. The fundamentals you picked up writing COBOL for banks probably transfer better than people think, the discipline of building things that simply can't break is the same instinct, just a different stack.
And noted on learning the job first. That's the exact reason I'm not outsourcing yet, you can't manage what you've never done yourself. Good to have it confirmed by someone who's actually made the jump. Appreciate you taking the time.
