Ep 1 - How to Get Backlinks from Some of the Biggest Websites in the World - a podcast by Sujan Patel and Aaron Agius

Welcome to the Growth Mapping Podcast with Aaron Agius and Sujan Patel. Today we are going to talk about how to earn backlinks from Inc, Forbes, Entrepreneur and many other large publications. This is probably one of the most frequent questions we get asked, and we want to answer it once and for all.

There are a few good ways to reach out to tier one editorial publications. There is a lot more that goes into building a relationship and connecting with an editor. Content and the ask needs to be tailored to the right person. There needs to be relevancy. Don’t carpet bomb with automation tools. Have a unique approach. Know who to pitch, do your research, and be unique. Give favors and don’t lead with ask. Lead with something of value. You need to have an interesting angle, product, or story. Have something interesting to offer.

2 ways to get links from these large publications:

? Become the contributor - Guest post and write content yourself
? Connect and build relationships with people who can help you

The link is a byproduct, go for the credibility, branding and traffic from being on one of these publications. Being a weekly contributor does a whole lot for your traffic in links and rankings.
