Remote Link-Building Expert (Contract)

Spread the love

Are you the Lightning McQueen of link building?

Can you get a reluctant blogger to link to a site with no clout (yet)?

Are you as comfortable sending outreach emails as you’re scrolling Instagram at 2am?

Then you might just be Truffle’s next part-time link builder.

We’re on a mission to bring hiring intelligence to SMBs and we believe SEO is a key part of how we spread our message.

We’ve rapidly scaled up our content production and are starting to see traffic grow. This is where you come in. Building links will increase our Domain Authority and make it easier for search engines to crawl and index this content.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

  • Find topically-relevant link opportunities like a Truffle pig sniffing out treasure.
  • Steer clear of any spammy, shady practices that will get us dinged by search engines.
  • Navigate outreach markets and A-B-C link exchanges like a pro.
  • Use strategies to generate links such as passive link acquisition, niche outreach markets, etc.
  • Help us with content planning, with a focus on ideation and promotion. (No content production is necessary but we want your feedback on what we create.)
  • Provide simple reports that share outreach activity and number of links so we know what’s going on.

You need these qualifications:

  • 2-3 years experience building links. What’s more important than years of experience is that you have demonstrable experience helping low DA-sites build links.
  • You’ve shown the ability to write thoughtful outreach that doesn’t alienate webmasters or editors. You can share templates and frameworks you lean on.
  • You’re comfortable using SEMRush and other SEO tools to do keyword research.
  • You’re a fluent English speaker.

It would be nice if…

  • You have existing relationships with webmasters and writers.
  • You have experience building links for early-stage SaaS companies.
  • You can help produce authoritative, link-worthy blog content.

Other important details:

  • This role is roughly 10-hours per week, with opportunities for growth.
  • We do not have any geographic restrictions for this role but prefer some overlap with CET.
  • There will be a few steps in this process, FYI, including a Truffle audio interview, two interviews, and a very brief assignment. We’ll make sure to keep you in the loop every step of the way.
