These are great courses but they are for affiliate marketing. For Client SEO, there are other good courses.
After dabbling two years in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), I learned some things.
1. Agency experience will teach you more than any other thing.
2. Try to learn coding, (I'm just starting). It's a big handicap for new SEO users.
3. Follow the right guru. Practice and Test. Good Luck!

I did two of those steps, but prioritized them a bit differently. I did not do the "#3 Courses" step because – well, the courses didn't exist when I started and I've managed to keep a step or two ahead of the curve over the past 25 years. The right courses can definitely be helpful, though.
#1 and #2 are great ways for sure – and that's how I did it – but once I had the basic fundamentals down, I swapped their priorities. Running my own site (actually developing several from the ground up) let me implement the basics and then identify sticking points and obstacles that came up next – which then drove me to the specific topics I wanted to focus on in my "learning by reading" phase.
Keep in mind that there are many SEO resources that crank out really bad information, though. You need to learn the names and follow the ones you learn to trust and respect. SEJ has some great writers – and then it has some where I want to throw my shoe at my monitor because the advice is misleading or incorrect.
Though some of it may be a bit advanced for you at this stage, the one source that churns out consistently good and accurate info is https://gofishdigital.com/blog/ I'll occasionally find something I want to pick a nit with, but it's a strategic disagreement more than an outright factual issue.
With your own site, too – you can dig into technical SEO much earlier than you might otherwise during your learning process. Many think of technical SEO as things like Core Web Vitals (CWV) and page speed and the like – and that's part of it. But technical SEO is also about setting up a framework of semantic markup and accessibility labeled elements within your themes, developing a structured data/schema backend that makes it easier for content creators to just "fill in the blanks" to hit on knowledge graph entities when they get into the areas where playing "match the keyword" just won't cut it, and various things like that. Technical SEO is really the foundation that every other aspect of SEO gets built upon – so having a good foundation there makes all the other stuff easier and more effective.

1. Become specialised into a sector (As I am on knives, guns, hunting assortment, and lightings). This is to dig deep into advanced keyword research for entity findings, but also to explore the eccentric speciality of potential updates and such (i.e: bulb evolution). 😊 This can support your warehouse / sales team with your expertise.
2. Know the technicals that affects your frontend, but also write and consistently learn on your own for the passion you love of that field.
3. Be consistent in learning, keep up-to-date with calamities and trends for counter marketing. 🙏

Content, Content, and Content.
Yes, you obviously need to fix anything that is completely broken first in terms of technical. No matter how good the content is if it takes 5 minutes for your page to load when stuff isn't already cached then nobody is going to see your content.
But otherwise content is the things that draws people, the thing that converts people, the thing people will link to, the thing Google will decide the importance and usefulness of even to determine how urgently to crawl your site.
And despite how obvious this is, I still see most companies massively underinvest in content, often having it written by people who have little or no writing talent, rarely investing in studies, or research, or otherwise *stuff* to create content about.
Half the websites out there have very, very poor content, written by unqualified amateurs, and hope that if they just keep buying links, or using social media, they can find enough people who don't mind third-rate content to make it all work.
You'd be surprised at how cheap it can be to get a B-list or C-list celebrity, a personality from a well-known but not quite hit TV show, to do a day of video shooting. Cheaper than to hire a small local video crew to shoot it. Yet still so many businesses have an uncomfortable looking staff member do their videos.
Seriously, the biggest low-hanging fruit in just about every possible market other than professional media, is better content. Great content can go viral, and do more for your business in a day than the average SEO company can do in a year.
