Please Help. I don't like to backlink!

Well, if you can't afford or don't want to outsource, and you don't have the time or energy to do it yourself...I'm not sure there's an answer for you.

Hmmm, that's the thing. It's not easy. Especially if you're working full time (I did for a year and a half before going full time in IM), it will often seem like very hard work, because most of site promotion stuff is tedious, time consuming work. That's just the nature of the beast, I'm afraid.

Are you only trying to achieve success with the one site? Maybe look at a different business model that will get you more money with the same amount of effort, like site flipping.

I have a great idea for you. Instead of creating more and more blog posts and articles, come home and spend all of your time on backlinks. If you can't get traffic to your main page, whats the point in writing content. Once you have traffic, you can continue to add content to your blog and use plugins to include twitter/facebook/reddit style buttons so that your readers can create backlinks for you.
Again, stop creating content that nobody see's, and work on getting your content Seen. Hope this helps.

Backlinking IS boring!

BUT it is one of the surefire ways to get to #1.

Either you do it yourself or you outsource - the bet way to keep motivated is to record your results so that you can look back and feel rewarded for your efforts.

Don't be discouraged if you don't see instant results - it can take weeks or even months depending on your keywords and their competitiveness!

My Advice TRACK TRACK TRACK!!!! You'll soon see the end of the tunnel and it'll drive you stronger to get out of the 8 hour grind!

Kea, I took a quick look at the home pages for the two sites you listed.

One thing that stood out to me was the fact that most of the posts on the front page were older posts bumped by the blog post promoter plugin. If you're getting spidered at all regularly, you may have archives filled with duplicate posts.

The content is okay, but not remarkable. Plenty of typos to go around. I don't think that's your real problem, though.

I recently rediscovered an interview Paul Myers did with Audri Lanford about ten years ago. One of the points Paul made was that many people struggle because they focus on the "how", rather than the "what".

In your case, the 'how' is building backlinks to your site. I'm guessing that the 'what' is getting people to come to your blog, read your content, click your affiliate links, and buy something. The first part of that is getting people to come to your blog.

Organic traffic from SEO is fine when it comes. Take a step back, and start making a list. How else can you entice people to read your blog?

Your sig bills you as a professional article writer. How can you use that skill to draw people to your blog? What can you create that will make other blog owners with audiences want to link to and/or recommend your blog?

Maybe you need to take a day or a week off and just noodle on how you can get what you really want, rather than continue slogging through something that saps your energy like that.

The cold truth is, parts of this business are boring. You either suck it up and find ways to get through them, you hire someone to do the worst parts, or you do something else.

Spy on your competition, do what they are doing and add a twist find some automation tools to help you. Backlinking doesn't have to be done the hard way, i've only recently found this out.

Cheers

Perhaps what you can do is to check your motivational techniques and find out, on a deeper sense, what causes you to stop there. When you could have been very good in the first place that you've come now this far (looking at your 2 sites), you should be very eager and find time how to achieve your goals for these sites. Another one is to focus on one technique at a time and be an expert. Find good people with similar interest near your place whom you can hang out with while you're doing your tasks. It can be in a coffee shop or a suitable place where you would not mind thinking about the painful efforts for your backlinking. Just have fun and have time to reward yourself for a good job!

All of you got it wrong. The OP is looking for a way to hide from work but the hard truth is that it's work that puts food on the table. It's work that makes you feel good after all.

Hard work pays off at the end of the day if you do it the right way.

If you need the hard currency, you must do the hard work and do it the right way.

One thing you might want to try is checking out a trial for an Article submitter so that you can reuse that 1 blog post or EZA article you wrote and post it to 1000's of directories for backlinks.

I am no fan of backlink building myself so I outsource it and use Article Submitting software called Article Marketing Robot. There is a free trial where you can test this out for around 5 days.

Or you can buy Big Mike's Article Poster which is cheaper and may be appealing if you don't have the resources.

Fiverr. You can get 2000 xrumer links, a 1000 blog comments, 1000 directorys blasted and 200 spun SENuke sites for $20. Spammy I know but no effort.

There are a lot of warriors that offer services such as backlinking building using software such as UAW,SENuke,AMA and more...
You might consider check some of the offers and lunch campaign that will improve your situation..

I use fiverr for back links. Most will provide a report for verification.

ok sounds great...next stop fiverr.

Find someone selling 1000s of profile links

pick a random site like google.com

Pay them to build all their profiles with links to google.com with a unique profile name that nobody will have used before and won't be on the web.

like "greg1939nam34"

wait a month

search google for that username with quotes and pay someone to harvest all the indexed profiles.

Then you will have a list of profile links that index quickly and naturally

Find someone to build those to your site for cheap (on odesk or wherever)

Hmmm...it is difficult if you dont want to spend money nor put in efforts to do the backlinking..

You should just focus on your full time job
