Link building is oe of the most important aspects but it is hard to get inbound links from big sites. If you have written something unique or create something unique, then you will get lot of incoming links.

That’s very true. If anyone write quality and unique article he will get back link for sure, but for that it’s also very important to spread your article via social media.
Else quality Directory submission
Commenting
Squiddo
Article submissions are some good alternative ways to get quality back link.
