You will be happy to know that Hayden has a few more link building strategies that are working REALLY well in 2016.  And the best part is that these are very white hat links (not going to get penalized like PBNs can).

2 Link Building Strategies

We dive into 2 link building strategies that are working well right now including: using creative common images and foreign news hacking.  You’ll have to listen to the interview to get all the details on these 2 strategies.

In the last month (May 2016), just one of these link building strategies has gotten Hayden roughly 150 high quality links to a brand new site.  And these links are from authoritative websites like: Vice.com, Wired.com, CopyBlogger.com, Mashable.com, and many others.

In Jake's words: Today I talk to Ryan about building backlinks for his site. In my own sites, I’ve had some pretty good luck with getting high quality backlinks – which to me is way more important than the quantity of links to my site.

As I mentioned, many of the ideas I share were things I originally learned from this post on Backlinko a few years ago. In the call, I share which ones work best for me, and how I put them into action.

Perrin and Colleen do another coaching call.

What do I mean by “outreach ecosystem?”

Basically, tools.

Here’s how I define “outreach environment”:

  • A place where you can track emails
  • A platform that allows you to use custom templates
  • A way to organize your follow-up
  • A way to keep track of relationships

In our call today, Samara and I discussed basic link building strategies for her niche site project 3 site.

On one hand, some people feel like link building is so critical to a sites success; on the other, you have people that never do any linkbuilding and do really well with niche sites.  I personally tend to be somewhere in the middle.

Today, I'm excited to bring you and interview I did with Greg Mercer of JungleScout.com. 

I don't remember the first place that I ran across an interview with Greg, but as soon as I heard it, it was clear that Greg was a real expert in selling on Amazon.

How expert?  Well, he regularly does over $400k per month in Amazon sales and did over $500k in December 2015!

In addition, Greg has taken those skills for finding great products to sell and leverage that into an AWESOME product finding tool called Jungle Scout.  I personally use Jungle Scout all the time to analyze listings and find those hidden gems on Amazon.

Greg is offering a 10% discount on Jungle Scout to the Niche Pursuits audience right here.

So, in today's podcast, I'm excited to share the discussion that Greg and I have for how he built his Amazon business, as well as his software business.
