For new sites you can go after longer tail terms or start off in less competitive areas. All you really need then to get started are just some basic links - a few directories, a guest article, a few reciprocals, a few links from your other sites, DMOZ, some social media links, a few forum links, a few profile links, etc. If you have interesting content and a little bit of luck then you should start to get unsolicited links.
