Fifteen free link opportunities built for newsletters, show notes, resource guides, and source curators.
DURABLE REFERRALS15
Use these when short-feed posting is flat. The goal is one accepted reference that keeps sending readers after the day-of post fades.
One importable bundle gives RSS curators the news, case, and answer feeds without hunting through the site.
A public page now gives curators the feeds, listing copy, fit checks, and proof log before any manual submission.
No paid backlinks, paid boosts, list purchases, or undisclosed placement swaps are part of this reach push.
Count only an accepted link, public citation, saved resource entry, referral URL, or measured referral visit.
This kit prepares language and tracking fields; it does not claim any outreach, placement, or traffic by itself.

PARTNER RULES
$0 spendEarn trust before traffic
Reject paid backlink shortcuts
Do not buy links, swaps, boosted placements, sponsored blurbs, or engagement packages for this kit.
Use visible fit, not harvested lists
Find places already asking source questions. Do not scrape contact lists, mass-message strangers, or import contacts.
Name the publisher tie
When asking for a link, say that you publish Inner Circle Ledger and that the route is offered as a free source aid.
Pitch the answer page
Do not send the homepage by default. Match one route to the audience's existing question or resource gap.
A prepared pitch is not a placement
Count only links that are live, accepted, cited, saved, or visibly sending referral traffic.
Use feed directories carefully
Submit only where the directory accepts publication feeds and lets the owner verify that the listing went live.
Do not argue for the link
If the editor, host, moderator, or curator declines, log the reason and move on.
PROOF LOG
A prepared pitch is not a placement.
Log only accepted links, saved resource entries, public citations, referral URLs, or measured visits. Keep declined pitches as learning notes, not traffic wins.
