Here's how you can pass on your knowledge to younger generations in the search engine industry.

Passing on knowledge to younger generations in the search engine industry is crucial for the growth and development of the field. - Engage in mentorship programs where you can guide and support younger professionals in the industry. - Conduct workshops and seminars to educate young professionals about the latest trends, tools, and techniques in the search engine industry. - Collaborate with educational institutions to deliver guest lectures on topics related to search engines, SEO, SEM, and digital marketing. - Create online resources such as blogs, articles, or video tutorials. - Utilize social media platforms to reach out to young individuals interested in learning about search engines. - Attend industry networking events and conferences.

SEO has changed my life, so I am always sharing this knowledge with everyone I know, especially with those who are younger than me. I have no issue dedicating some time during my week to talk about SEO and how you can apply it to your benefit, as not everyone has the opportunity to learn about it.

I would advise you start your mentoring journey by listening. Find out where this young (presumably) budding professional came from (personally and professionally), what they know (or what they think* they know), and what they think* they need. It can be a waste of time for both of you if you can't create a connection and actually engage their interests. So before you talk, advise, guide, educate, etc., start by asking probing questions. Mentoring is like SEO, we're trying to match someone's search intent to the content we provide ;-) And if you can't match that search intent, you won't rank, LOL.

Engaging online is a great way to start gathering knowledge and identifying your own style to share content and spread the word. You can use this engagement to get inspiration from SEO influencers and social media forums where people share their best practices and methods. Asking questions and contributing to the community is valuable and makes it worthwhile. Eventually, starting to create content myself is one of the goals

Caution. Yes, there are online communities for you to engage with and share your knowledge and experiences with... ...but in the digital realm even the quietest of introverts can be outspoken critics on prominent user-generated content (UGC) platforms like Reddit, Quora, etc. So, monitor the online communities you're thinking of jumping into and gauge their culture. Study how people post information, the tones they do and don't use, the user names to seek out, and the user names to be wary of. The right* online community can be a great platform for you to share your work and experiences, you just need to know the do's and don'ts before you start posting.

One of the most effective ways people share content on social media platforms like LinkedIn is by hosting workshops, often using case studies. These case studies take a deep look at a website's performance, exploring how it improved or why it lost rankings, and identifying possible root causes. Using real examples provides people with a perspective on how they can use this information to perform their own audits and gather insights.

Offering your own SEO workshop lets you control the platform and potential experience of your message, and your potential audience. Also, it positions you as a pseudo-authority because you're helming an experience with you (or you and others) positioned as the purveyor of reliable information (which I'm confident you'll undoubtably vet in the workshop ??). Just be prepared that depending on how and where you offer this workshop, you can get a mix of professionals with varying levels of perceived expertise, so plan as much to respond to a challenge or critique as you are to educate and inform.

Volunteering your professional talents and skills is a great way to help communities, institutions and organizations, and... ...build your resume. Yes, there is a great opportunity to do something altruistically (which is awesome), but don't ignore the value you can divine from these experiences that you can add to your resume.

Documenting methodologies, videos, and strategies is how I got involved in the SEO world. I found myself watching tons of YouTube videos from SEO creators showing how they built their websites and the strategies they used. From personal experience, I can say this is a highly recommended method as it engages you and makes you feel like part of the project, even if you're not actively doing anything.
