Introducing Linking Outside the Box, the Free Guide to Creative Link Building

Link building is hard. Creativity, combined with hard work, are the key to success.

And while we can’t help you with the hard work part (that’s on you), we can help you be more creative.

Linking Outside the Box: the Free Guide to Creative Link Building

 Today we’re announcing our newest (and first) free guide: Linking Outside the Box, your guide to creative link building in 2014 and beyond.

Linking Outside the Box (or LOTB, as it’s known colloquially) is a 66-page guide to creative link building.  It will help you think differently about link building, get better results from the tactics you already use, and learn new techniques that you may not have employed yet.

We also were lucky enough to talk some great link marketers to contribute to the book, including:

• Paddy Moogan, Senior Consultant at Distilled and Author of the Link Building Book
• Lisa Buyer, CEO and Founder of the Buyer Group and Author of Social PR Secrets
• Greg Ciotti, Marketing Director at HelpScout, and Founder of Sparring Mind
• Alisa Scharf, SEO Associate at SEER Interactive
• Lyndon Antcliff, Founder of LinkbaitCoaching.com and NewsjackingAlerts.com
• Ann Smarty, Community  & Brand Manager at Internet Marketing Ninjas, and Founder of MyBlogGuest

I also wrote a piece or two, along with Ken McGaffin, who helped us put the book together.
