Hi Craig,

Yes. That could work. But in my experience in remotely approaching prospects for B2B deals, LinkedIn InMail always works best. That's across the tactics I've tried. Throughout the past several years. Hands down.
• What I do is, research about the key decision makers in the relevant teams of my prospect organizations, i.e. If I'm interested in a B2B digital marketing deal, then I try to find out more about the org's marketing VP and Web property manager.
• Then, I look for them in LinkedIn. I also take note of the LinkedIn Groups that they're in.
• Afterwards, I join those groups. I then share helpful content in those groups. I'm talking about stuff that's highly relevant to the hottest topics in those groups. All while being relevant to the brands and current projects of my prospects. Purpose is for my name to at least be familiar to my prospects when I contact them later.
• And I send them a professionally written LinkedIn InMail, i.e. Components generally include a brief yet interesting introduction; relevant comments about their latest projects; an enticing single statement description about my already prepared proposal (customized for each prospect); and a hopefully compelling invitation to discuss my proposal in more detail if they're interested.

I hope this helps you generate more ideas. Cheers!

Key thing to keep in mind here is timeliness. Any search engine, be it Google or even a search applet of an arbitrary digital property, is interested in serving fresh content.
• That's time-sensitive niche relevance. And topic freshness.
• Using your example, if those other people continued publishing and promoting from that point up to this day fresh content that's optimized for timely user intent and niche community relevance, then chances are, they'd outrank yours. Otherwise, Google is likely to avoid serving their outdated content if Google Brain (the algo behind Google's ranking system today) "thinks" it's no longer relevant to the user's search intent nor to topics preferred by relevant niche communities.

A five year lead goes away if you have great content, answering questions that your niche asks online.

A newcomer is at the bottom. But you are assuming that the content is the same. Don't make the content the same. Be more specific in your blog posts. Niche down.

And probably most important, write headlines (to your blog posts) that both grab attention and match a specific question your readers would ask.

Only general marketing blogs share the readership. Make your headline so specific that it pulls better than the more established headlines.

AI copywriting software will accomplish this for you. It will pull the best headlines for you. Or you can just do a few searches.

You can even just create free Youtube videos with your blog post as the script. Just make short videos of a portion of your blog post...with links to get the entire blog post, or so they can subscribe to your blog.

The answer is to be specific, not general...write a great headline (that both gets readers and ranks on Google), and create links to the blog.

The links aren't for SEO as much as they are to draw readership. If your blog posts are well written, they will get shared.

Don't worry about competition. Make your posts so tightly niched that the general blogs won't matter.
