blogs, deep domain diving

The main goal of prospecting is to discover topics that are link worthy…
AND relevant people/websites that are likely to link to content surrounding those topics.
#SEJThinkTank @NChimonas @Pleasant_Pen
![Page 23: The Four Stage Link Building Cycle: Page One Power Webinar](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061306/58a5f70d1a28aba5728b6b0d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The research performed during prospecting informs the content
you should create.

The Marketing Funnel
Understand the difference between the purpose of different types of content.
Content designed to attract links is generally going to be “top-of-the funnel” content.
#SEJThinkTank @NChimonas @Pleasant_Pen
![Page 26: The Four Stage Link Building Cycle: Page One Power Webinar](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061306/58a5f70d1a28aba5728b6b0d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Existing content discovered during prospecting research that performed well socially (BuzzSumo) is typically TOF.
Use socially successful content to inform link worthy content.

Look for ways to creatively fill the gap
How will I add value? How will I connect?

With certain prospects, you might be able to ask for a link right away.
Higher value targets require more of a “slow play” approach.

Always be adding value.
Add value to the recipient of your outreach, before you ask for anything.
Ensure that your link is also of value to the users of the site. Quid Pro Quo is fine, so long as
there is demonstrable value to the end user!
