Adam, THANK YOU for the insanely helpful content. I'm blown away...to the point where I just paused your Masterclass to return to your KZfaq video to tell you how much I resonate with your teachings. After two years as a corporate wonk-turned digital nomad, YOU and your content is the first time I've had eureka moments and am inspired to start (vs. feeling overwhelmed with the micro details). Can't thank you enough. BRAVO, buddy. -Jillian

I am a senior-level software engineer. Adam's approach here is valid, but boy is it time-consuming. In reality, this is a full-time job for 1 or 2 people. I think your value proposition in blogging really needs to start with superior quality blog posts and then secondly with superior UX design of your posts. (The UX design of posts is a value proposition I am sticking with since it is my forte) Then measure the quality of posts you have with the quantity of quality posts you can publish. Treat that like a numbers game. When you start getting a little bit of ad revenue coming in then hire people to do white hat link building. If you spend a lot of time thinking about link building in the beginning you wont get anywhere in your blogging career.

We know everyone buys links, especially at the beginning, once you reach at least 20 DR, you could expect to make some more decent exchanges. But up to that point it's free guest posts and 💸💸💸. People don't wanna talk about it, especially on KZfaq, but we all know how it is. Prepare to spend thousands to reach that decent DR score and break the ground. Overall, good info, subscribed ;)

Thanks for the suggestion. :) You can scale up your costs depending on how quickly and aggressively you want to grow, but the biggest expense to any online business is people. Outside of that, in your first year, you can pretty much go with web hosting, Ahrefs (or just trial it at first to do all of your keyword research), SurferSEO, and that's about it. Most WP plugins are free and it's not that expensive. Cost comes when you start seeing revenue come in and decide to hire your first writer.

Wow this is gold. I have two questions. What is your success rate with this type of outreach? How many links can you expect after 100 emails? Second question (I didn’t understand this part): where do you give them their backlink? Do you link back from your own site or do you add a link in your next guest post on another site? If the latter, than it means that you have to find a topic that fits all 3 sites.

The question is; I just started a business that helps other business with their website design and local business marketing and social media management. On my website that offers local services (to a few counties of my state for now), I have a blog page that I’m trying to build up with quality articles, monetizing that using affiliate links, adds, etc. Should I keep that blog attached to the main business even though I’m only providing my services locally but for the blogs nationwide (worldwide hopefully)?

It used to be a businessblog but it will be redeveloped to a business marketplace. The strange thing is that with no activity on this url the domain authority is 24 and if I see it correctly I got almost 200.000 backlinks which are worth $$$ as I believe watching your videos. My question is.....what do i do?

If I add multiple external links to multiple different articles to my site, would the link juice power be less because it would spread out instead to 1 external link?

@AdamEnfroy 2 жыл бұрын

Link value is passed from page to page. So if the pages linking to you are different, then the value is not totally lost. But you are correct that if there are 10 outbound links in an article, 1 link gets 10% of the link equity. You should go for new referring domains, but if you can get multiple links from the same domain, it is good to do that too. It has diminishing returns after a lot of links from the same domain, but is still helpful.

This video is a year old. But like 3 years ago, Google stated that guest posting for links doesn't work. They ignore guest post backlinks. The algorithm sees that the person writing the article owns the site that is being linked to, so no link juice is passed. Everything in this video is a waste of time. Unless you get the owner of the website to take the content and put it on their website as if they wrote it.
