Linkable Asset Promotion
Linkable asset = built. Now promote: outreach, partnerships, social, paid. Without promotion, assets earn few links.
Promotion channels (per asset)
- Direct outreach — email 50-100 relevant sites/bloggers
- Influencer DMs — 20-50 niche influencers
- Submit to roundups — 'X best resources for Y'
- Reddit + niche forums — community posts
- Partner co-promotion — affiliate to your asset
- Paid distribution — Promoted Stack post, sponsored newsletter
- Repurpose — break asset into 10+ pieces
- Linkable content cluster — pillar + cluster on topic
