5 Outreach Elements Used By The Pros
1) Relevance
The pitch was simple. Aware
that I had both shared and professed my admiration for his link strategy, The
Skyscraper Technique, Dean thought it would be worthwhile to let me
know that he had a new, related case study coming out.
2) Timing
Many people undervalue the
benefits of an aptly timed pitch. This is because timing is very difficult
to scale, and you can’t force it whenever you want. Some opportunities
just present themselves at the perfect time, and if you can capitalize on them,
it will greatly increase your chances of success.
3) Creativity
I
recently read an article by Hupport that shared one of the
simplest and most creative strategies for outreach I’ve read this year.
Here's what you do:
- Subscribe to the newsletter for the person/company you want to connect with.
- Reply to the first email they send.
- That’s it
4) Credibility
When your pitch asks
someone to expose their audience to your brand, you want to make sure you build
in a lot of social proof. This is particularly important if you’re looking
for:
- A guest post
- A product review
- An affiliate relationship
5) Personalization
Of all the five elements, I imagine personalization is the one you
could have guessed. After all, every outreach script you’ve seen so far has
some degree of personalization -- some more than others.
