- [Narrator] What's up guys.
So today I'm gonna show you how to pitch
DR50 and above websites to land high quality guest blogs
and backlinks straight to your website.
So you can see, for example here,
here is a response from a pitch I sent
and this guy was busy, but he did say
because I'm clearly writing high quality content
he'd be happy to accept a guest post from me, right?
And you can also see that I got other good responses here,
responses here, and other good responses here.
So, I can pitch in for guest blogs recently,
I know how to land them,
and if you follow the technique and the blueprint
that I'm about to show you,
then I can pretty much guarantee
you're going to land guest blogs
and more backlinks to your site.
So let's run through how I did it and how you can copy
and rinse and repeat the same process.
So the first step,
if you wanna land high quality backlinks
is to create a list of prospects.
So you can see on this spreadsheet, for example,
I've ranked each website by its domain rating.
I've got the domain here,
the link where it says we can contribute a guest blog,
the email to contact them,
or the contact form to use and the status,
so where I'm up to and how much progress I've made
on contacting that website.
So there's about 50 websites on this list.
And basically because I wanted to get guest blogs
from my link during the agency,
I created a list of websites that I could contact
that had already mentioned SEO on their site
because they were the most relevant
prospects to go for, right?
So from there it was time to start pitching.
So I basically created a copywriting template
that my virtual assistants could use
to contact websites and land a guest blog.
So they pretty much copied and pasted each email,
sent it to the relevant person, pitch landing a guest work.
So let's break this copywriting down step by step.
So first of all, the subject line is pretty generic,
but it creates interest.
And also if I could find
the name of the relevant person's contact,
then I would pop in here.
And then inside the email, just a basic hey, as an opener.
And I got straight to the point, okay?
So you can see the email copy is relatively short,
if we check the word count, it's only 94 words,
so it's not very much.
And that's why I'd recommend keeping your copy short,
concise, and straight to the point.
And in the first line, I get straight into it and say,
just get in touch.
Are you still taking guest blogs because
I'd already researched
that they were taking guest blogs previously.
And then I suggested a couple of different article topics
I could guest blog about, okay?
So these are really relevant topics
to the content they were already producing on their site.
And therefore, I knew that if I could already
do the hard work for the site,
and I could pitch guest blog topics,
then the website I was contacting
will be more likely to accept my pitch.
So that's why I'd recommend,
include at least a couple of suggestions of topic ideas
for your guest blog inside the email copy.
Now you can also see
that I tried to personalize the email too.
So here my virtual assistant would fill in a recent article
here each time they sent an email, because then it shows,
okay, you've read the website,
you're not just randomly emailing them,
and that you've actually done a bit of research
before contacting the site too.
And that will go a long way in building rapport
with the website owner,
so that they're more likely to accept your pitch.
And then from there, a small call to action
in terms of happy to go into more detail,
please let me know, my name.
And finally, I also included some examples
of work I've already done before.
So here's an example of a guest blog
I've written for a website that's relevant to the niche.
So Lemlist are a website that does outreach already.
And if we click on the link,
basically the website owner that I'm pitching can say,
right, I've seen that Julian
knows how to write a guest blog,
he's already landed them before,
his content is really high quality,
the design is nice,
therefore the quality of content is gonna be good
when he gets blogs for me.
So you're basically creating a social brief,
and if a website owner sees, right,
you're already having success
getting guest blogs in other sites,
then they're more likely to accept your pitch too.
So what I'd recommend is
sending them a guest blog you've already written before,
if you have some, or at least an article on your site,
that looks good, that's high quality
that shows that you can write good content
that's going to interest their audience.
Now, after that,
not everyone is gonna respond to your first email pitch.
So a week later,
my virtual assistant would send another chase up email,
and you can see it's super basic,
it's not too intrusive or anything like that,
but it chases them up.
And that's the reminder you need,
because you've tried to get the website owner's attention
when you're pitching for guest books.
So definitely send a follow-up email seven days later,
if you don't hear back from the website owner
on your original pitch.
And then finally, send a final chase up here, okay?
And again, it's super easy to read this, it's short,
it's concise, it's straight to the point,
but at least it chases them up again.
So basically I would send this email
and then seven days later you would send this email,
and then seven days after that,
you would send a final chase up email.
And inside that final chase up email,
make sure it's obvious
that you're not gonna keep haunting them,
you're not gonna keep stalking them.
And that this is the last email you will send
because otherwise, you're gonna know if your website owners,
if you keep emailing them over and over again.
So clearly communicate
this is the last chase up email from me.
So that's basically it guys,
so if you want to land guest blogs for your site,
then you can follow this process and rinse and repeat it.
Now, what I recommend is creating a unique version of this,
because if you just copy and paste
pretty much the same template that I've used,
then website owners are gonna have seen it before,
it's been rinsed already,
and therefore I wouldn't recommend just sealing it.
But this gives you an idea
of the template style you can use.
The main elements are, to include the name
of the person you're contacting,
to mention a recent article in their blog,
so that they know you've actually read their site,
to include a couple of topic ideas for the guest blog itself
so that you make it easy for the website owner to say,
yeah, go ahead and create the content.
And then finally include some social proof
in terms of what you've written before,
so the website owner knows
you're capable of writing high quality content.
And if you follow all of these steps that I'm showing you,
then you will land high quality backlinks
and guest blogs for your site, it's pretty much guaranteed.
