What It Really Takes to Grow Your Business with Rand Fishkin
from Building a Business that Lasts · host Jay Owen
Rand Fishkin is one of the world’s leading experts on SEO. But it wasn’t always that way for him. In 2000, he dropped out of the University of Washington to work at his mom’s marketing firm as a web designer. In 2004, he started a blog called SEOmoz, which eventually became moz.com, an SEO software and data company that he co-founded with his mom. Since then, he’s stayed pretty busy, helping Moz grow into a $45 million/year business. That’s not all, though! In 2018, he founded SparkToro, an under-development software company focused on audience and influencer intelligence. He also published a book, Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World, where he gets real about what most startups actually look like. With lots of experience under his belt (and plenty of insight from those experiences), Rand shares helpful tips and tricks to start — and grow — a successful business.Send us Fan MailSupport the showListen to other episodes and see videos of the podcast at http://buildingabusinessthatlasts.com
