Very good article, Joel! I’ve started as a freelance webdeveloper about a year ago. Here’s thing: I’m very good at link building, but I think it is WAY too boring to make that my main freelance profession. I happen to like web development and basic SEO a lot more. It is way more interesting and it doesn’t get boring quickly. Link building can get very tedious quickly.

Hence I’m only improving the link popularity of my own website at the moment. I want to make sure I’ll end up high in Dutch search results for basic terms like “webdesign” and “webdevelopment”. They can generate LOTS of leads!

I’ve put up a portfolio page on my website for more examples and accomplishments. So basically, those are my 1, 3, 5 and 6 points!

What do you think of my linkbuilding strategy? Does it hold up long term?

Definitely another way to generate online income. Can be a bit tough to start but once people start using you and rating you you can get better rates and regular clients.

It doesn’t matter what business your in; if you don’t bring traffic to your site you won’t make money. I spent over a year not knowing how to bring visitors to my site. But the simple truth is, if you can create a ton of links leading back to your site you’ll get traffic. Some may ask, but how do you know anyone will click on those links. Well that’s simple too. Post in targeted places, where people are asking the questions that you want to answer and solve with your product or service. I guess you need to know how to do that too huh? LOL! Ok

Go to google “search based keyword tool”, click on “Or see top keywords across all categories” and enter a search for the niche you want to analyze. It will automatically show you the most popular “key word phrase” for that keyword. You can either use that key phrase or click the magnifying glass and use the key phrases shown in Google Insights. Use the keyword phrases to create key word phrase questions. Enter those questions into Google Alerts “in parentheses” and wait for results.

I like to receive the alerts in Google Reader, but you can also receive them in your Gmail box. Go to the blogs or forums listed in the alert and comment, answering the questions being asked about your niche. Then leave your name, email and web address. Instant targeted links leading back to your sites. It’s just that simple and more fun than you could ever imagine. Stop killing yourselves and do it the right way.

These are good tips especially now that a lot of people have lost their stable jobs. I am one of those people and I had to resort to online means to keep food on the table. Now it’s my bread and butter and I never even have to leave home!

Great advice, Joel! Even for marketers wanting to do their own business, starting by selling their services brings money in faster, and they can do both part-time to start. Just gives them more experience before doing their own sites!
