I've been thinking about how 'chicken and egg' problems are solved in general.

I've researched about this and most of the time the answer is 'fake it till you make it' in case of dating sites for example, creating fake profiles until the real profiles overcome the fake profiles in number and the site takes off.. but this 'solution doesn't seem to apply to my situation.

I've read James Martell 'PAD technique' for backlinks.

It's a bit like guest-posting... with a twist... what he calls 'bridging'

For example: Let's say I have a website about loans. I can 'bridge' the loan theme, to the house remodeling theme, because I can write an article about house remodeling and mention that you could get a loan to help you out on your remodel project... making the loan article relevant to the house remodeling website.

Now, I want to outsource this process: The writing, and the guest post partner finding

My Chicken and egg problem is that, in order to find a guest post partner, I must have the article ready, so they can appreciate the article and see if they would like to have it on their website or not...

BUT...

to have the article ready, I have to know the 'bridging' angle... what the theme would be like... and to have that I need to know who my guest post partner is first... in order to fit the article to his website theme

so how can I overcome this problem?
