My least favorite part of SEO is link building.
It’s time-consuming and repetitive, and it can be a major grind.
But there’s no getting around it — links are a huge part of SEO. That’s especially true for content marketers, considering that creating quality content is the cornerstone of any organic SEO strategy.
I want to share with you a simple cheatsheet that you can use to quickly and easily find relevant linking opportunities for your content.
But before we get started…
Type your niche keywords into google, followed by any one of the below phrases. Like so:
technology inurl:"guest-bloggers-wanted"
And tadaa!
You instantly have a list of blogs that are currently accepting guest posts and are relevant to your niche.
Of course, this probably won’t work for all of the niches out there, but for the most part, these will help you out immensely with your outreach process!
Now, on to the cheatsheets!
