The fallacy of this type of advice is that marketing a certain activity, in this case a blog, is a full-time job in itself. > This is the quickest way to [...] create a sustainable additional income. The entire blog post starts with essentially a lie. The following requirement: 4. Back-link building > This is tedious work. Cold emailing, constant reminders and > outreach and content creation. This person would focus > entirely on growing your backlinks by creating > viral/shareable content and reaching out to partners who > might want to link to your site. is all but "additional" income. It reminds me of that famous guy, let's call Tim Ferrous for anonymity, who advertised the dream of a 4-hours workweek, while working himself 24/7 in order to market himself and selling his products. Not counting the fake website(s) and fake reviews he's commissioned as part of his marketing.
