It’s really a special job in itself, isn’t it, Gina? I’ve noticed that someone who writes good general content doesn’t necessarily write good press releases.

Like you say; totally different language.

I don’t even think link building is that boring, waiting for them to be indexed maybe.

No.6 is the winner (loser?)

I cringe when I hear myself writing press releases. It’s just that particular style of writing goes against the way I normally write.

Yes, thanks for the list David! There seems to a direct correlation between how boring an activity is and how important it is to keep doing it unfortunately 🙂

Thanks Matt 🙂
Yes, it the consistency that’s required when link building that grinds a lot of people down!

Guess it depends too on the type of link building, Chris? Link building by attracting links can be fun. Pure hands-on link building is … hard. I have the utmost respect for our in-house team.

Good one, Veronika! Press releases also require a very special way of writing. Hat off to those who do this all the time

Of course here it is more a case or relation ship building as we don’t link author names 😉

Great list of boring tasks. I would also include the boring, yet very important task of consistent link building through forum and blog posts. Like I’m doing now, :). BTW, I’m enjoying the concept of your 26-week plan. The breakdown in phases has been helpful in organizing our IM plans for various clients.
