We team up with other people all the time in our daily lives. So, why don't we team up when working online too. Listen to my reasoning and see if teaming up with someone is the one thing that could springboard you to success.
Building and promoting niche websites can be a pretty darn boring and unrewarding endeavor a good part of the time. Doing everything yourself gets to be a bit of a bore. And that’s not to mention writing all those articles that you are going to use to promote your latest site. That is going to be pretty dang boring too. Have you ever thought about teaming up with another person or two where you share resources?
What if you were to find another like minded marketer and tag team a niche together? When you are promoting your own material, you could be dropping a link here or there for the other person. They could be doing the same for you. Now, you are going to get a more diverse backlink profile. Plus your links on your pages are going to look better because you will be linking out to other related content instead of just your own stuff all the time.
Don’t you think it looks stupid putting more than one link to the same URL on one page anyway? Are you doing that? A lot of guys do that. It drives me nuts. I am always thinking, come on man, couldn’t you just link out to one of your other articles that you published somewhere? That would help that other article stay indexed. Plus it helps juice the other article up. So the juice flows back to you anyway once the loop is completed.
You may or may not outsource some of your work already. Maybe you have a graphics guy. Maybe you have a person to do some of the programming needs you run into from time to time. But, nobody ever thinks about teaming up with a marketer. It makes sense.
Think about the project you are currently working on. How much more fun would it be to work on that project if you knew that you were going to be getting unexpected random backlinks pointing back at the pages on that site? I bet you would put a little more effort into creating a little bit better website than you otherwise would. You are going to hold yourself to higher standards than normal because you know someone else is watching. You don’t want to embarrass yourself.
And, the links that come back to your site are probably going to be a little bit better than you might have created yourself. Remember, that other guy is going to want to create really good links for you because it is going to reflect back on how you perceive him. He is going to want to look good. He isn’t going to want to throw a bunch of crap links at your site. These benefits are going to work both ways. Think about it.
