what's up guys julian goldie here and in this video we're going to look how to quickly build
your first 1000 backlinks now backlinks are one of the most important parts of seo and if you're new
to search engine optimization you probably have no idea how you can build links of course even if
you do know a little bit about link building you might not know how to build a lot of backlinks now
if you're in this position it's actually a big issue because if you only know how to build a
few backlinks here and there well you're not going to be able to overtake the high authority websites
you're competing against in the search listings on google and these sites are likely to have hundreds
or even thousands of backlinks to compete with so you need to know how to build backlinks on a
large scale if you want to achieve decent rankings especially most niches now fortunately this video
is going to cover some of the best tactics that will help you build amazing backlinks at scale
and some of these strategies such as the ones we'll cover in section number two can help you
land high authority links with relatively little upfront spent other tactics though such as the
one in section number three will be useful for people that have an actual link building budget
and want to use this money to supercharge their link building campaigns either way no matter
what kind of website you're trying to rank the tactics in this video will help you secure a
good number of amazing backlinks so make sure you watch until the end or else you might not
ever overtake that competitor that's beating you in the search listens right now let's get started
so the first approach we're going to cover here is the skyscraper method now this tactic
is kind of famous in the seo community and you might be familiar with it already of course
if you need a little bit of a refresher here's basically how it works okay so the main idea
with this approach is you're essentially just going to create a better piece of content
than your competitors and you're then going to get links from the people that are linking
to your competitors already sounds too simple and maybe too good to be true well to be fair there's
a little more to this method and we'll cover that later but for the most part this strategy can be
boiled down to these steps and it absolutely has the ability to deliver results for example here's
what one of my clients achieved after i helped them implement this technique as you can see
their traffic really started to spike once we started building backlinks for them using this
tactic by the way i just want to say that if you'd like to learn a little bit more about how
we do this for our clients you can book in a free consulting call with my agency at juliangoldi.com
anyway earlier we just covered a super simplified overview of how this approach works now let's
cover some of the key steps associated with this tactic in a bit more detail okay so first of all
you'll need to identify a keyword that you want to rank for now when it comes to identifying the
right keywords you just want to focus on something that would be considered a high value keyword in
your niche obviously i can't really tell you what that is but you probably have a rough idea
of what this might be for your website now if you need some help though you should check out this
video of mine where i go over keyword research and how you can do it properly it's called how to do
keyword research moving on once you've identified a good keyword you then want to look at who's
linking to the top content ranking for this search term now if you want to find out who's linking to
competitors you can use a tool like ahrefs now with this tool you just provide a url and it
will then tell you about the sites linking to the page you're trying to be by the way if you want to
check out this tool you can find a link to it in the description of this video anyhow after
that you then have to create something better than what's already ranking so far and you can
do this by making something that's more in-depth and detailed and comprehensive you might even want
to add a few more graphics on your competitors and finally you need to contact the people and
websites already linking to the existing top ranking content in your niche that's because
you need to let them know about your content so they can actually link to it now the outreach
part of this method can be kind of difficult but there are special tools like hunter for example
that can help you out here right so hunter can help you send out mass outreach campaigns
that will raise awareness around your content so that people can link to it and if you want
to learn more about how you can use this tool you should check out this video of mine called how to
set up hunter's io campaigns cold emails in nine minutes and you can also find a link to this tool
in the description of this video okay so that's the first method covered and with this method it
might seem initially a little bit intimidating but i promise it's not as difficult as it looks
once you get started but you should learn how this approach works because it can deliver great
results even if you don't have any money to spend on link building and by the way before we move on
to the next section i just want to say here please take a moment to like and subscribe us on youtube
right if you like our videos it's gonna help me reach more people plus if you become a subscriber
it's going to be super easy for you to find my future videos after all this video will teach
you how to build your first 1000 backlinks but don't you want to learn how to build your first
10 000 links too right and what about your first million links well if you become a subscriber
you'll learn exactly how you can do just that okay i probably won't be able to teach you how to build
a million links but i'll definitely teach you how to build more high quality links actually increase
your rankings and get you ranked higher than your competitors and in the end isn't that the
most important thing so next up the next link building tactic that we're going to cover here
is called the harrow approach now harrow stands for help a reporter out and it's a very good way
to secure links on high authority sites now with this method you're basically just going to offer
yourself up as a source for reporters that need help when they're writing their articles if a
journalist ends up using you as a source they might then credit you in the article
by linking to your website now a lot of these journalists write for high authority sites and
so this credit is going to have a huge impact on your rankings and i've used this method for some
of my own clients and it's delivered some amazing results here's an example of a site that hit
over 146 000 monthly visits thanks to harrow link building and here's an example of one of the links
we managed to secure for our clients pretty cool right so if you want to build links using this
method you'll want to sign up to either harrow or sourcebottle.com and if you sign up to these
websites you can set things up so that you can get emails based on certain topics relevant to you
and these emails will contain journalist requests and you can then submit responses based on what
the journalist is actually asking for if you want to do well here you should respond to requests
as fast as possible and you should also make your responses super relevant to the journalist request
and if you do this it's going to be easier for the journalists to incorporate your response into that
article and this is then going to improve the odds of the journalists actually using you as a source
now another approach you might want to consider is working with a link building service or agency now
this tactic is obviously suited to people that have a high link building budget so if you're
not at that point yet you might feel as though you just want to skip over the section however before
you do that wait because you might want to rethink things here right and that's because as your
website begins to grow you'll probably end up in a position where you do have a bit of money left
over for link building and because of that the info in this section is very useful for you even
if you don't have a link building budget right now okay so anyhow if you want help with link building
you can often find relevant people on websites like upwork now before you invest in outsourcing
link building you should always ask for case studies or even just examples of backlinks
that they've already built and these examples will give you a rough sense of how good they are
at this kind of thing now you might also want to ask how long it generally takes for them to build
links and if you find that a certain kind of link building method works well for your website you
may want to find someone that specializes in this specific tactic for example if harrow works really
well for your website you might just want to hire a harrow link building expert i also mention
that if you're willing to spend money on backlinks you may just want to consider creating your own
link building team and hiring people step by step for instance suppose you're already getting
great results with the skyscraper method well if that's the case maybe you actually want to break
things down create an srp around that approach you could then hire people and give them this
document this would then allow you to basically create a team that builds backlinks for you using
this tactic and if you want to outsource link building but you don't want to use an external
service this kind of strategy may be a good middle ground now guest posting is another way
you can build back this your website guest posting is super simple and it's been around for years
and years and years and this approach has lasted so long because of the simple fact that it
actually works okay so the main idea here is that you just approach websites in your niche and you
ask them if they'd let you write a guest post for their website and if they say yes you write
the content and if they publish your post you can include a link to your site in the author's bio
or in the actual content now if you want to find guest posting opportunities you can use special
search strings on google and here's a short list of some of the search strings you can use for
this kind of thing courtesy of backlinko.com now here's what comes up if i use one of these strings
to find guests posting opportunities in the fishing niche as you can see there's plenty of
websites that i could approach here of course if you don't have any experience writing guest posts
it may be hard to land a guest post on one of the big websites with a lot of traffic and authority
that's not a problem though because i can just focus on the smaller websites to begin with right
and these sites are often willing to let you write for them even if you don't have a lot of existing
guest posts or authority in your niche already after all website owners are always in need of
high quality content and so if you can write something amazing there's a good chance that
people will be willing to accept your guest posts anyhow if i land guest posts on these websites
i'll be able to build up my personal brand and i'll then eventually be able to approach some of
the larger websites as i'll have more credibility so by the way most of the sites that offer guest
posting opportunities will have strict rules when it comes to what they accept you need to
make sure you stick to these rules and guidelines or else you may not be able to get your article
published on their website okay so that's the end of this video if you have any questions
