Bonus - 7 + 1 Step Content Leverage Strategy

If you have built backlinks according to Strategic Link Building System, you will be ranked #1 in Google for your desired keyword, which will drive tons of traffic and also sales.

However, nothing is stopping here. Each time you will publish new content, you will need to build backlinks for it. But, since your site is already recognized as an authority in your market, you really do not need to execute the whole Strategic Link Building System.

Therefore, I have put together a strategy that will ensure 2 things for you –

 

o it will build high quality backlinks each time you publish new content, o it will drive traffic directly to your new content, so that you can experience the power of viral marketing.

If you will learn and apply step by step this 7 + 1 Step Content Leverage Strategy, your WP blog will get exposed to masses each time you publish a blog post, and you will instantly get high quality backlinks, that will ensure your long term rankings for the keyword of your blog post.

Important – Before Your Start

In order to get highest leverage out of this strategy, you need to set up some content publishing channels, and you need to do some research in order to find the topics, that people are looking for.

Here is publishing channels that I recommend for this strategy –

o Article directories –
o EzineArticles.com,
o IdeaMarketers.com,
o ArticlesBase.com,
o GoArticles.com,
o ArticleRich.com,
o Amazines.com,
o ArticleDashboard.com,
o EzineMark.com,
o SooperArticles.com,

o Press Release websites –
o Seenation.com,
o Prlog.org,
o YourFreePressRelease.net,
o BigNews.biz,
o Pressreleasepublic.com,
o Freepressindex.com,
o And OfficialWire.com (this is paid, but it is very important).

o Social Bookmarking Channels –
o Digg.com
o StubleUpon.com
o Mixx.com
o Fark.com
o TweetMeme.com
o Reddit.com
o Delicious.com

Now, that you have all the publishing channels ready, let’s dive in to the strategy itself.

#1 Step - Create Valuable Blog Post

If you want to maintain rankings and get constant traffic flow to your blog or website, you need to update content regularly. The best approach is to set a plan – blog post daily, 5 blog posts per week, 3 blog posts per week or 2 blog posts per week (this is absolutely the minimum).

My recommendation here is to create 2 extremely valuable blog posts on weekdays and 1 on Saturday.

 

For week days you can create a simple How To or Why or What If article. As your entire content, it should be extremely valuable for your readers.

On Saturdays you need to follow the trends. Visit Google Trends, Alexa and Twitter to find out what people are really talking about and which are hot topics right now.

Then you connect that hot topic with your niche and create good blog post. Make sure that your headline is sensational.
After you publish this blog post, make sure to go straight to the Step #4 below.

#2 Step – Rewrite Your Valuable Blog Post

In this step, you take your valuable blog post and create 1 good quality article. And I am not talking here about spinning. You need to rewrite – take some part of your blog and create really good article around that idea. It will not take you more than 20 minutes to create it.

#3 Step – Submit Article to EzineArticles.com

Once you have the article ready the first thing you need to do is to submit it to EzineArticles.com. Create compelling resource box and put 2 different backlinks to your website – 1 to your home page and 1 for the blog post you just created. This is very important step, as EzineArticles.com is the most respected directory.

As soon as the article on EzineArticles.com is published, make sure to bookmark it via the social bookmarking sites.

#4 Step – Create Press Release about the Topic

In order to get more exposure for your newly created blog post, you need to create and submit at least 400 words long press release. Make sure to figure out some really good headline that is newsworthy.

Search Internet, Twitter and find out what people are talking about. Create a headline that connects with your niche and submit it to press release sites.

When I created published press release via OfficialWire.com – “ Oprah’s Book Club Sets the Trend for Internet Marketers”, I got 4540 views within 3 hours and there was 10 pages on Twitter with re-tweets about this topic.

The true secret here is that most people never read it. They just see the headline, and they share it in social networking sites, which give you enormous exposure. That is why you need to create exceptional headline.

#5 Step – Spin The Seed Article

Once the article on EzineArticles.com is published, you can spin it and create at least 10-20 new versions with at least 40 percent of uniqueness. Then you should submit each new version to different article directories that you created.

Once again, make sure to create 2 backlinks to your site – only use different anchor text links then it is on EzineArticles.com. You can link to the same pages on your blog, but just use the different text in your links.

#6 Step – Convert Your Article in PDF

Once your article on EzineArticles.com is approved, convert it to PDF and submit to DocStoc.com and Scribd.com. Make sure to include 1 backlink from your article to EzineArticles.com and 2 links back to your site. You can choose 2 different links for each directory.

#7 Step – Social Bookmarking and RSS Submission

This is very simple, but important step, especially on Saturdays when you will create really good blog post related to hot topics on the web. It will give you extra exposure and give you more traffic to your site.

Now, regarding the Social Bookmarking, please do not bookmark all the articles that you published. You need to bookmark just one of it – for example, bookmark EzineArticles.com and then you can bookmark one press release. In addition, you can bookmark one of the PDFs in Google Buzz.

Regarding RSS Submission, here you need to create RSS feed for each of the links and submit to RSS directories.

+1 Step – Publish Guest Blog Post Once Per Week

I am sure you know how powerful the guest blog posts are. You can get immediate exposure to large audience and build recognition in your niche.

 

Search the internet and find 5-10 high traffic related blogs, where you can publish guest posts. Read the rules and follow the guidelines.

Try to understand the style of the blog and create content that is closely related to it. Next, create 1 guest blog post per week and each time publish it on different blog.
7 + 1 Content Leverage Strategy is very simple, but incredibly powerful. If you will be persistent enough and follow the steps at least for 90 days, you will get massive results in terms of traffic and value of your website.
