Forget Everything Else: SEO Is About Content And Content Promotion

What's the 80/20 SEO rule? You spend 80 percent of your time creating better content than your competitors and 20 percent of your time promoting it. This is assuming you have a mobile-friendly website which loads quickly and you don't have any technical SEO which needs attention.

You're probably wondering about link building. This is where promoting your content comes in. Promote helpful, engaging content on your social media platforms. If your content, whether it's an article, video or infographic, is truly great, people will naturally link to it.

Having natural links to your website is the best way to rank well, right behind having high quality content. Besides getting links naturally, you will get traffic from the site which links to yours.

Create an infographic, video or slideshow, which is good enough for the top website in your industry. Email them and ask if they would like to post it on their site for a link back to your site. Do not offer to write a guest post; the top industry blogs get 100's of requests and ignore almost all of them. Simply offer your content as a service to their readers.

Promote your content by building your authority. Create a LinkedIn profile as publisher of your website and include examples of your content. Create content about recent trends highlighting your experience in the industry. If your content stands out, industry news websites may see you as a reputable source for a quote or opinion. Answer questions on Quora as well, to help establish your authority.

Creating content worthy of promoting isn't easy. Don't be afraid to pay someone to create an explainer video or infographic for you. If you hire an independent contractor, ensure the contractor explicitly gives you the copyright to it. You don't want to promote content only to have someone else claim the rights to it.
