Hi,
I don't have a journalistic background with contacts in the industry.
However, I do have an ace up my sleeve...
One of my specialities is SEO content marketing.
This is content that is designed to specifically illicit links and shares from prominent people/sites/blogs within the industry.
And even if the industry doesn't have much clout, there are related niche's that can be tapped into to harness in order to boost your Google rankings.
Obviously, CBD is notoriously difficult to market, so to become one of the leaders and high ranking sites would be invaluable.
I see businesses and startups trying to break into the CBD industry all the time, so the competition to rank is fierce.
Undoubtedly, most will be trying the SEO route, however, few will be using my secret technique that is guaranteed to succeed, no matter what the niche.
In a nutshell, I'll be writing content specifically for the eyes of prominent websites to generate backlinks and the more we get, the higher we will climb Google's rankings.
The content I write will be immense, because one of the elements I include in my posts are share factors - these are scientifically backed, psychological principles that encourage backlinks and shares.
One of these share factors is content length and 3000 words should be a minimum.
The content needs to provide value as we're not just trying to impress the gen. public.
It also needs to be memorable.
Not only will you rank but you'll be seen as an industry leader.
