Hey, Folks! So this starting a business is a slow going task for me. Truth is, I have little time to dedicate to it. Yet, I believe there is potential to my project. Thus, I keep working at it little by little.
So as I am nearly at a crossroads, I ask my WA community a few questions!
First off, let me explain my project:
1) I want to do local marketing, directing people back to my affiliate site where they can then order any of the products that they desire.
I can do this (i.e. local marketing) and quite possibly earn some nice income while directing people to a very helpful and excellent product(s).
But my question lies here:
I have done no backlinking to this site. I've only built the site. Thus, the site isn't ranking. So I'm asking myself, do I spend the time solely doing local marketing, or do I put in the time, getting the site to rank and thus hopefully gaining some traffic sort of passively?
What do I do here?
My hesitancy regarding backlinking is that I feel like it will take forever to do, that it will take a couple months for my site to start ranking (months where I could be spending time trying to get the product out locally).
Thus, I guess my question to WA is:
1) Is there a quick, easy, yet effective way of backlinking?
2) What would you do if you were in my position?
Thanks, guys :)
