Hello Jace, not certain if you have completed all five courses of the certification but if you have then you should have understood that after the training the next stage would be to keep on posting. Build up you email lists and improve your ranking in google and the other SEOs.

HI! Truthfully, the initial training does not offer enough to get off on your feet without a lot of confusion. I am also very new but I have found that the premium membership is well worth the price. If you can do the discounted option, you will have a lot of tools available to you. You can later decide if the membership cost will work with your budget and if not, you will at least know if you want to look for another opportunity to use a different host/platform or you will know if this is not up your alley. It sounds like you have put forth quite a bit of work so far. If you've enjoyed it up to now, it might be a really great opportunity for you. Best Wishes to you moving forward.
