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.

That book written by that unknown author was pure drivel, how anyone was able to get through the whole thing, if anyone actually did, is beyond me.

The best sellers usually are left untouched on your kindle or even (physical) bookshelf if you fancy that.

I guess people just buys it and forgets about it
