Q1 @LukaszZelezny, our traditional question: How did you get into SEO?
In late 90’s I become a DJ (a drum and bass). I had a website. To play a gig I had to find a way to make people know about me. I went into SEO and started to rank on keyword “drum and bass”. There were not many sources to read. Especially in Polish language. But everyone got crazy about Pagerank. I had PR=4 ?
Ranking for “drum and bass”. Nice one @lukaszzelezny #vcbuzz

Q2 Why Linkedin publishing? There are more long-form posting options nowadays (Quora blogs, Medium, etc). Are you considering those?
Wide spectrum of personas. I have my co-workers, ex-co-workers, potential customers, other SEOs experts. I can write for everyone or for selected group of people. Depends on topic and content of article. And finally @Linkedin / @LinkedinPulse is the loveliest social media platform. Simply, honest, and works in China ?
Is China your target market? RT @LukaszZelezny: A2 Simply, honest and works in China ? #vcbuzz

Yes. I was speaking in Shanghai last year at @ClickzLive (SES) conference. @Linkedin is a great way to stay in touch.
Linkedin publishing is great because you can finally leverage your existing network you’ve been building for ages (for some reason) #vcbuzz

@LukaszZelezny wow you do a lot of international speaking! where are you based? #vcbuzz
— Anna Fox (@manifestcon) January 6, 2015
I’m in London. Yes I am trying to speak in different parts of the world. Last year was busy. Including Indonesia and China.
Q3 Your articles on Linkedin do awesome! What’s the secret?
I am following couple of rules.
- I am getting high quality illustrations on stock photos websites.
- I am trying to keep articles 1000+ words length. Avoiding jargon, keeping listicles (top5, top10, top20).
- Generating title with @Hubspot title generator.
- And then 3-4 time more than I spend writing, I am promoting my article.
@vcbuzz Im using own photos also promoting events / workshop (below each article) like SEO4Startup with @Monkfeet #vcbuzz

Q4 You are a very valued user of Viral Content Buzz. Could you give us your feedback? What’s your experience? Also, you mentioned us a few times (Thanks!) Please share those links!
Here is @SEMRush webinar I gave in December.
I also mentioned Viral Content Buzz on couple of conferences and workshops.
Next one is in London with @Monkfeet (Join pls if you #Lonodn based!)
My feedback is that Viral Content Buzz is an amazing tool. And its strength is behind the people like you guys. Here is so many people on chat I know almost all Avatars and twitter screen names. This is how strong community we are. Especially @EP_pturner who I know long time @BrianHughes116 who I had interview with, @AnnSmarty of course who I remember since #MBG ?
@vcbuzz @Javamazon My next event in London is here: http://t.co/NDlUQ7g0GB and http://t.co/Frxsi9c0PB #vcbuzz

Q5 With so many activities and hobbies, how do you manage to get organized to get things done?
I have my SEO world, also Music composing, Blogging and Travel (I seriously love UK trains!). I am little food geek too ?
Going sleep 3:30 am, waking up around 8:30 checking emails / twitter / Linkedin in @uberUK on the way to office ? #ThisIsLondon
Life’s too short for 8 hour sleeping ? RT @seosmarty: … 5 hours of sleep, working while on the road… #mywinter #vcbuzz
— Sana Knightly (@SanaKnightly) January 6, 2015
It’s exactly like that. I read Leonardo Da Vinci was sleeping 5 hours every day whole his life.
.@LukaszZelezny so lack of sleep and working on the go… #productivity tip if today’s #vcbuzz
