YouTuber iampauljames Is Proof That You Can Get Wealthy Doing What You Love! Meet Paul James, the entrepreneur who is the founder and chief executive officer of www.pauljames.com, a company that specializes in helping companies and agencies grow through search engine optimization (also known as SEO), by providing world class training and software. Paul James has always demonstrated his entrepreneurial spirit and ability to add value to others lives since his early childhood. He originally grew up in South Milwaukee and attended South Milwaukee High School. His childhood was characterized by other people describing Paul as being too rambunctious, too energetic, and too different. He wasn’t interested in attending school.
He said that the education they provided at school wasn’t the education he needed. He dropped out of high school and pursued a career with a heating and air conditioning company. It ended up getting slow and he was eventually laid off. He decided to enroll in the nursing program at Cardinal Stritch University because he enjoys helping people. Soon after, he got into the clinical work as it was part of the program. At the same time, he also began work on his own SEO business on the side. Sooner than later he started earning a nice income from it. Instead of focusing on the lectures at college, he was instead learning more about SEO.
Suddenly it dawned on him that maybe he was in the wrong field and could help people in a different way? Unable to see himself in the nursing program at Cardinal Stritch University, he dropped out of school for a second time and he believed that he saw a great opportunity in his consulting businesses and agencies on how they marketed themselves. When asked about what would be his advice to fellow entrepreneurs, he says, “Never give up, keep pushing.” In 2009, he started to get a grasp of how SEO and marketing worked. He did some homework, studying the in’s and out’s on how to promote whatever product one might have, whether it’s a business or a band or something in-between using SEO, lead generation and ads.
He built a website that helped students in his anatomy and physiology class at Cardinal Stritch. Then he started to make money off the website because he developed flashcards and then sold them. Everything started snowballing so fast from earning the first $20 with a website, to building 6-figure SEO and lead generation agency in one year working with small business owners to help them to get more customers, to then later going on to become a self-made millionaire.
In 2010, that’s when he made his life-changing decision. Later that year, he got married. However, when he made his decision to pursue the web business full-time, he got pushback. Luckily, he trusted his gut instinct and followed through. Once he thought he knew enough about marketing, he began a YouTube channel where he posts educational seminars about three or four times per week.
He’ll go over topics such as how to rank a product or business within Google and offers other business tips. On his youtube channel, he’s garnered over 200k subscribers who showed their love for his amazing knowledge. Along with this he has been awarded YouTube’s Silver Play Button.
Along with his agency and YouTube, he developed a call tracking platform called dialhawk.com, which is built for agency owners and small business owners that want to track which leads came from where. James is also the #1 Bestselling author of Reverse Engineer Your future: Stop Waiting for Success—Go Out and Make it Happen Now. This book is about how he overcame adversity and how to use your struggles to become a better person.
James says, “It’s all about staying focused and be willing to fail. I failed a lot, but you only have to get it right once.” We wish him good luck for his future.
