***************************************
If you haven’t heard of Zapier, it’s a tool that lets you connect web apps together using IF THEN statements.

When you create a combination of web apps, they’re called “zaps.”

Zapier has over 2,000 apps you can mix and match, so there are virtually an infinite number of automations you can create.

But since this tutorial is about link building automation, that is what we will do.
To prepare our link building automation, we need to do some of the manual work first, like getting a list of link prospects, vetting them and finding the first and last name of authors or editors.

You’ll learn how to do this in the video.

Then, it’s time to start building the zap.

There are a few steps involved:

1. Set your trigger
2. Set your first action
3. Update your spreadsheet with the found email
4. Validate the email
5. Update the spreadsheet with the bounce status
6. Send emails

You’ll learn all the details in executing those steps in the tutorial.
