If you are a person who doesn't understand SEO do you think it is worth hiring an SEO professional to do the work for you?

How much do they usually cost? Are they effective? Where does one search for them? Is it better just doing it yourself and how?

Google has recently leaned towards brand ranking, that is, the more well known your site is, the better you rank ahead of other less known sites, even if the latter has more links, traffic, PR, etc. This means that all SEO Pros are out of jobs.

Well, then the question is how can you get to be "well known" and who and how to define it. SEO is a big business, it will not die and it's still an very important process to gain free traffic. I remember during a Beavis and Butthead episode that Beavis asked Butthead, why is that woman on TV? Butthead was like,... "ah... ah... cause she's famous." Then Beavis asked, why she's famous? Butthead then said, "ah... ah... cause she's on TV you dumn a==." So... using this analogy... a site still need to be worked on before it can reach to any SEs.

Back to your original question about SEO Professional, they will still be around and needed, but MANY MANY of them are fake, and totally overpriced. SEO is not rocket science, just do more reading and observation, you can be a good SEO over time. The question is that if you have a large web business, it might be cost benefit to hire SEO to have division of labor so that you can be of more focus on different tasks. So, again... it's all depends

its just that SEO confuses me so much and I don't actually know how to implement it into a website.

If you really want to promote your website, easiest way to do it just to give you an idea.
Go talk on forums, that would be a really good way.

Or depending on what type of website you have go promote on forums on that topic or other websites that might require a service you can provide.

That's a good way to go too. But the forum needs to have high traffic to get it to work. A good signature on the forum will do well.
