15. can take you
places.
It keeps you challenged.
It motivates you to learn and
do more.
It allows you to think outside
the box, create things and
become a game-changer.
It makes you believe.

28. Being able to define your own brand and its identity,
will make it easier for others to define you.
29. Associate your brand with other entities that will help it become more
relevant and authoritative [reciprocation in links and social].
37. Don’t head straight to your primary prospects. Moving away from the main segment of
the audience everyone else is targeting may be more effective and rewarding sometimes.

38. In the early stage of Kaiserthesage, I first tried to engage and absorb readers from blogs
focused on a different niche that are also interested in link building related topics
[blogging, make money online, affiliate marketing, etc…]
39. I read their stuff, regularly leave comments and share their posts on social media, and I
also referenced some of their works in my own writing. Luckily, they’ve done the same.
41. The more you can build your network and exposure, the more you can get ready
and confident for a bigger and more targeted audience.
42. Write the type of content that your target prospects read, share and mostly link
out to.
43. Focus on methods that will take less effort,
but will yield more results.
44. Content ties everything in the
digital marketing realm
together—that's why it is king.

years is also doing pretty well in terms of earning natural links, search
rankings and conversions.

48. Invite other influencers to write for you – to eventually
build your own community.
And to automate link building (post received links from Moz, SEW, and more).
49. Get links from ranking pages, or build pages from domains that
have high search share [to create constant traffic generators].
51. My simplified checklist for technical on-site optimization
• Every page within a website must serve its own purpose. Treat every page as a
landing page. Use the Noindex tag if it’s not important.
• Absolute relevance is key to win on this side of SEO. Each page’s content should
always match the keyword(s) it’s aiming to rank for, as well as the searchers’
possible intent.
• Build a solid internal linking structure to pass more link value to pages that you
want to rank better (and also to improve the site’s domain authority and overall
ranking capability).
• Optimize for great User-Experience. Make everything easy for users (whether it’s
on navigating the site or actual usage of the site).
52. Just a simple process I’ve been doing for over a year now
that only costs $500/month (or maybe less)

54. Effective for building a content-driven community that can
scale link building, social sharing, brand strengthening, and
improve search/market share.

Suitable for sites that already have large traffic – as
giving more brand exposure will be the incentive.
57. A reasonable asset you can use to get more links –
through offering badges, broken link building, and earn
links/mentions from entities listed on your list.
58. A reasonable asset you can use to get more links –

And a good section for the site to build trust and
relevance signals.
63. Beneficial to both parties. Original source of content gets more
exposure (and links), while the licensee gets free content (that can
also attract links on its own).
64. Another form of content licensing is allowing your
content to be translated to different languages – which
can help you reach more audience.

Note: Always link to the original source of content, and use the
rel=“canonical” tag.
69. That can specifically target several other niches that may also
have a large portion of your business’ target market.
70. Which you can use to generate more leads, build hard-to-replicate links,
collect more business insights/technology, and eventually build an empire.
71. • Invest on yourself. Keep on learning new things, because there are so
much more to learn.
• Read. Test on your own. Write the stuff you’re learning.
• Keep on challenging yourself.
• Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid of succeeding.
• Find a mentor or people you can follow and learn indirectly from (I secretly learned
from these people: Simon Slade, Wil Reynolds, Ross Hudgens, Sam Nams, JP Prieto,
Russ Schneider).
• And most importantly…
