How are people building backlinks? There are 4 ways to get backlinks:
1) do nothing and let people link to you. This only works if you are previously ranking, as otherwise no people can find your site
2) buy backlinks. This can work, but you have to know what you’re doing.
3) guest post and link outreach. This is emailing people and asking if you can write content for them in exchange for a link or just have a link.
4) build your own. This is the most expensive way to do it at the start but is much cheaper in the long run, and safer, etc. But technically probably against the TOS.
Source: I have been building backlinks for 16 years, nearly exclusively with number 4 above. I have a free podcast where I teach everything for free. We have a couple episodes that explain precisely the 4 methods above and how to do them. Let me know if you’d like a link. We also have two episodes that explain the difference between good backlinks and bad backlinks, which you should listen to before buying backlinks.
