De ta il : ge t Blogger contact informat ion

method 2: using domaintools2“Who is” is a fine resource if a blog is hosted on its own domain name, such as chrisabraham.com I recommend :long-story short: if someone goes out of his way to hide his identity or email, let him go, he does not want to be contacted!

To be honest, bloggers are even lazier than journalists.A lot of the time, bloggers steal images and entire tracts of copy, paste it, and then just do a “blockquote” attribution.

De ta il : toPic Uni verse

topiC universe summary•Generally, before any outreach, bloggers are

combined into a master universe to make sure there are no dupes or doubles.

•One blogger can have more than one email – check for doubles.

•Make sure the master universe does not contain A-list or “do not contact” bloggers (check twice).

De ta il : oUtgoing message

outgoing message Cummary•Short, terse, minimal, highly textual, with a

clear message and a clear request•Any verbiage that sounds like it is selling or

marketing must be removed•All assets, graphics, movies, or videos are

collected into a “microsite” or “SMNR”•Do not include conversion GIFs, hyperlinks, hot

emails, images, or attachments

respond QuiCkly & with love•Don’t use autoresponders or let emails wait until

morning. When we send out an email outreach, we staff the INBOX almost constantly over the next hours and days

•If a blogger gets pissed off by a pitch, we have only minutes to respond

•A personal, immediate, and human response can make the difference between earning a blog post or being forwarded to Bad Pitch Blog

•When respond, never lock horns or rise to the bait – people have busy, complex, lives:

De ta il : How to follow UP BolDly anD ProUDly

how to follow up•If we don’t get a reply from a blogger, we send 3-4

follow-up emails.•We assume that email gets lost, blocked, de-

prioritized, ignored, missed, or put off until later – and later never comes because folks are just busy.

•The squeaky wheel does get the grease and we get our biggest successes in response to the second and third email outreaches.

•We generally allow a week to pass between email follow-ups.

De ta il : tracking r esPonses & ment ions

traCk with working sheet•Be sure to always track who replies.•Also, be sure to remove anyone who asks

immediately.•Finally, if you can’t find their email, ask them if

they use another – some people collect all their email into one account, usually a Gmail account, and reply from there.

De ta il : tracking r esPonses & ment ions

traCk by mention•Also, be sure to track all blog mentions as they occur•Using Google Alerts and Google BlogSearch is

generally good enough•Don’t hesitate to ask your bloggers to pop you the

link to their post when they say that they will•Also, don’t hesitate to hold a blogger accountable

for posting if he offers
