Growing a Link-Building Agency to $500K MRR through Effective Networking with Steven Khanna [Ep.156]

When running an online business it's easy to fall prey to the mindset that everything should happen online.

But sometimes, to really grow your online business, you need to step away from the screen and connect with people face-to-face.

Take Steven Khanna, for example. He's the Head of English Markets at White Press, a global link-building and marketing agency. Steven used in-person networking to skyrocket his success, generating over $500K per month for White Press.

In this episode, Steven shares how attending conferences and actively networking played a crucial role in his success.

Attending just one conference helped Steven grow his monthly recurring revenue (MRR) from $5K to $50K!

Steven also dives into the important role that link-building plays in a modern SEO strategy. According to Steven,

"People keep saying that links are not an important ranking factor, but if you look at the backlink profiles of big, successful websites, they're still building links. Even in troubled times, link-building will never lose its value. Links will always be one of the most important ranking factors for driving traffic and leads."

Steven goes on to provide useful tips, tricks, and advice on how to optimize your link-building to ensure you are generating the right kind of traffic.
