Should I focus on blogging or linkbuilding?

[BlueBuzzy]

Hey guys, so I came to a dilemma.

I write the content for my blog and have a full time job, so it takes so much of my time. I know quite a few things about linkbuilding and SEO. That's why I realize that it's time consuming also. Therefore, I have to outsource one or another. Otherwise I'll just go crazy, you know what I mean?

Therefore, a question. What should I put my main focus on? I know that outsourcing costs money, and I have some. Which one will bring the highest ROI in your opinion? Also, if you have any suggestions, life hacks, or solutions, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks boys

I would suggest that you focus on creating great content and outsourcing the SEO part.

Focus on creating content because it should be authentic to you, and outsource the SEO part so you don't get distracted and caught up in it.

Circumstances When Sites Should Spotlight on External link establishment



1. You have another site



On the off chance that you have another site or brand, at that point naturally your space specialist will be zero. Third party referencing for new sites not just helps increment your area expert and develop those profitable outside connection flags however it can help get the word out about your new site.



2. You are in an aggressive market



Regardless of whether you have a set up brand or a site that has been around for some time, despite everything you may need to center around third party referencing in case you're in an aggressive market.



3. You are concentrating on particular watchwords or substance



In the event that you have a particular page, bit of substance or watchwords that you need to rank for, key external link establishment can help. Suppose you need to rank for a particular term and you have an objective page as a main priority, getting backlinks specifically into that page can truly help. This can be a critical separating factor with regards to page specialist and positioning in natural hunt.



4. You have a restricted site (neighborhood or worldwide)



On the off chance that you have a restricted site, at that point nearby third party referencing can be staggeringly essential. This incorporates a neighborhood business or even a global site.

I have always done the linkbuilding part myself because I am so paranoid that the "wrong" link will hurt me twice as much as "good" link. I have scaled up now and I have some people building the empire!! One of the most common complaints is that I am too stringent on the links that I want. I currently have them ask for approval before creating the link. If I was to try out an outsourced SEO, which service would you recommend here at BHW? Bearing in mind my MASSIVE paranoia about, who would hold my hand as I take the leap? I am willing to try it on a couple of properties.

Focus on both.
But content first as it really affect ranking.

if u cant make a good content... then outsource it and focus on link building will be the best choice ever.

I think link building it's better but if you are skilled with blogging and you like doing it's good to go with this also.

 

[BlueBuzzy]

Well I see the general idea. Do whatever you are more less good at.

I agree with the others and i am in your shoes, as well.
Do what you can do best & if you can, just outsource the parts you are not good at or you do not have the time to deal with.

I would love to do everything myself but overworking yourself by trying to learn it all doesn’t look all that fun.

And there is more stuff I am working on besides just blogging so i’d Just break down lol

Maybe I am not tough enough on myself? Idk I feel like I am reasonable

I would suggest that you do both. We can always find more time in our busy schedules.

1. Do what you like
2. Pay people to increase the power of your website
3. Do it yourself if you don't have money

Here is what I do: Spend a lot of time creating really great content. Then put content creation on hold as I promote the hell out of that piece of content. Really, get the most out of it.

Otherwise: whats the point of creating content if you're not going to promote it? Nobody will see it.

Content is king, I say keep creating content then focus on link building and outsource tasks for cheap

 

[assaultclass]

Depends on the amount of content you already have on your site. If you already have 50,000 words of content and you are in a low to medium competition niche, I would suggest you decrease your publishing frequency. If you were publishing 3 articles per week, decrease it to 1 per week and use the free time to focus on link building/outreach. If posting less doesn't sit well with you, then keep posting as usual and outsource the link building tasks to the right business.

Yes, I agree, coz I suffered taking all the task on my head.

Since you said you're writing the contents, keep focussing on creating more effective contents and share those in social media.

Breakdown the things that you wish to do to improve your sites (like link building), and choose what you can do and you can't do.

Create short-term milestones toward the constructive progress of the site and start working on it. Achieving those milestones that will give you a positive energy , don't dump too much of tasks on your head. You will feel a negativity when you fail to accomplish it. Be positive stay positive.

Content is king, link building is queen, so i think you stay focus on your content.

Hi, As a fellow blogger I would suggest you to focus on blogging. providing good quality content is the essence of blogging. Of course link building is also essential but this could be done all by yourself. Build quality backlinks rather than focusing on quantity. All the best!

 

[PeppeRic]

If you're a one men army you have to do a bit of both, otherwise, it's not going to work. Or maybe outsource one of two. I personally prefer link building since it's less time consuming
