For Content Marketers, it’s a great way to acquire high-quality backlinks and mentions from various authors and sites over time. Link-able is amazing at helping Content Marketers acquire a variety of relevant backlinks, which in turn help contribute to a strong backlink profile. While this feature alone is nice, there are a couple of other great features as well. For instance, Content Marketers can post a specific link-building job (Link-able calls it a project) on the platform with specific details about the link you may want. Overall, this is an extremely powerful platform that can help Content Marketers save hours of outreach or trying to build the backlinks themselves.

Content Marketers start by applying to join the Link-able platform. Joining is easy but keep in mind the guidelines for the platform are very strict and not everyone can join. This is because Link-able will only accept individuals who have a website or blog with high-quality content all readily available. Every Content Marketer account is thoroughly examined by the Link-able staff who manually review each site. Getting accepted means, you have good quality content as well as an amazing website appearance, an outstanding online reputation and other factors that make your website stand out from the rest. Content Marketers will also need to verify ownership of the website they add to their account or permission from the site owner.

If you are accepted, you’ll get an email notification of acceptance and you can then login to the platform.

To get started, you’ll need to post your first project. On the Link-able platform, you need to post a project that represents each page you want to build links to. Think of these projects as mini job descriptions for Content Authors. Link-able will then show your project with authors looking to link to something similar. You’ll need to post a new project for each page you want to build links to, which can get a bit tedious.

PRO Tip: Think of projects as mini job postings that represent a specific page you want to promote. Content Authors can then view and apply to these posting, submitting their proposals.

When posting a project on Link-able, it is essential to be as detailed as possible. This is the key to receiving the highest number of quality applications. Providing clear and detailed instructions about your page and what type of backlinks you want will help give authors a clear idea of what you’re looking for. Otherwise, authors most likely won’t apply to your project if it appears to vague.

Here’s an example of what a project posting looks like on Link-able:

Each project contains:

• Content Marketer’s Description: This is the detailed description you’ll need to provide about your page. Link-able uses this information to index the content and show your project to relevant authors experienced in writing about relevant topics.
• Additional Info: This is where you can add any additional info you would like to share, such instructions on how you’d like your page to be referenced or things of that nature. Note that authors don’t always follow these directions and it’s meant to be more of a guideline than actual rules.
• Content Marketer’s Desired Link Attribute: This is where you can tell Content Authors what type of link attributes you prefer. Again, this is more of a guideline and authors will submit proposals to you with what they can actually get you.
• Content Marketer’s URL: This is the URL of your page that you want to build links to. Note that Link-able also provides an option to keep your project anonymous. If you choose this option, then your URL won’t be disclosed, and authors will need to rely heavily on your description.
• Wants a Backlink on: This is where you can list any particular website(s) you would want a backlink on. This is a particularly handy feature that you might want to take advantage of.

Once you’ve carefully filled out your project, you can post it to the Link-able platform. If authors like the project, they can then click the green “Apply Now” button and submit a proposal to you.

When it comes to Content Authors, Link-able is a great place that they can find potential link building jobs and amazing content to link their writing too. For Content Authors who are great at guest posting and outreaching, this platform is a great way to find work. Authors search the platform; review projects posted by Content Marketers and apply to the projects they like best. Link-able has made it very easy to submit applications to Content Marketers and authors can get paid well if their application is accepted.

Link-able works similarly to Content Authors as it does with Content Marketers. Authors apply to join Link-able and the review process is just as strict as it is with Content Marketers. Outstanding writing skills and fluent English composition is essential. Authors must be in the United States. Link-able requires authors to only write about topics they have experience with writing and specialize in. For authors who get accepted, this is a great place to earn a decent revenue for content writing and link building.

Yes, Link-able is free for both Content Marketers and Content Authors. All you need to do is apply and if you’re accepted, you’re in. There’s no fees or monthly charges for using the service as Link-able takes a cut from whatever amount the authors earn. So for example, if you hire a Content Author for one of your projects, Link-able then gets a percentage of that amount. This makes sense though as Link-able thoroughly works with its users to ensure quality content and that the authors are doing the work they promised they would do in their application.
