\u00a0(Updated)<\/h2>\n

Now that <\/span>Dibz<\/span><\/a> has provided you with tons of amazing link building opportunities, it\u2019s time to dive into the second phase of the process and transform those rich prospects into actual links.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are a lot of different practices out there that could help you make the most of your link building efforts, but none quite as efficient as publishing your content on various relevant sites across the Web.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Power Behind Efficient Guest Blogging <\/span><\/h2>\n

We all know that <\/span>guest blogging<\/span><\/a> is the best way to build natural links. These backlinks can help you skyrocket your domain authority, and grow referral traffic quickly by leaning on a popular and relevant website. However, it\u2019s still fairly difficult to precisely calculate your chances of earning that sweet juicy link.<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t really matter how good or experienced you are – <\/span>sending outreach emails will always be a gamble<\/b>. For most writers and marketers, it\u2019s still not a practice through which they can actually obtain some significant ROI. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why? – Because you never really know who\u2019s reading your emails. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Even though most digital marketers tend to properly do their homework before reaching out to a certain person or brand, in most cases – <\/span>everything still boils down to pure dumb luck<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not great, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Why is that, anyway? With all these amazing email marketing tools around, why is luck still a decisive factor in this equation? In this day and age, why aren\u2019t we able to precisely calculate our chances of getting published on certain domains, before reaching out to a web admin, editor or influencer? – The simple truth is that you don\u2019t actually know the recipient of your emails. Yes, you know their names and credentials, but that\u2019s it. <\/span><\/p>\n

As an actual living and breathing person, they still remain a complete mystery to you, in most cases. <\/span><\/p>\n

You still have no idea what they like, dislike, think and feel at the moment you\u2019re reaching out to them. Maybe your correspondent is a morning person who hates receiving emails and talking about business past 2pm. Maybe it\u2019s the other way around. Maybe they\u2019re just busy at that specific moment and your email isn\u2019t a priority for them. Maybe you\u2019re using the wrong tone in your message. – These are just some of the things you can never know in advance about the person you’re trying to win over via email.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is kind of bad, \u2018cause these sorts of details have the power to significantly influence the success of your guest blogging efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Having said all that, it goes without saying that there\u2019s no \u201c<\/span>foolproof outreach strategy<\/b>\u201d. It still doesn\u2019t really exist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the fact that a lot of today\u2019s marketing experts use a wide variety of tools that can help them figure out who, how, and when has<\/span> opened their message<\/span><\/a>, there are still tons of important \u00a0details that remain cloaked in darkness. <\/span><\/p>\n

Even though outreach is still a process during which a lot cannot be automated, there are people who constantly defy the odds and absolutely crush it in this field.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at our agency, guest blogging still remains one of the key strategies for building high-quality backlinks. Every single day, we send dozens and dozens of outreach emails from our office, and they are the messengers that actually claim those desired links. This month, our writers have been published on an insane numbers of websites. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking about<\/span> four figures <\/b>here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The

How did we manage to accomplish such a thing? By<\/span> finding actual link building opportunities via Dibz<\/span><\/a> and creating amazing, personalized messages that actually get people to open your emails, read them, and acknowledge your worth. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>In order to help you maximize your guest blogging efforts, we have decided to interview our link builders and get them to share some of their best-performing emails.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we dig deep and focus on the Do\u2019s, it is important to first get the Don\u2019ts out the way. In our agency, newbies are always first taken through the don’ts of this phase of link building, so they\u2019d instantly understand what practices to avoid at all cost:<\/span><\/p>\n

Things You Should Never Do When Sending Outreach to Web Admins and Influencers<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lesson 1<\/span><\/h3>\n

Outreaching to influencers and site owners is all about finesse and personalization. People fail in this part of the SEO game because they get greedy and lazy. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>A couple of days ago, <\/span>Tim Soulo from Ahrefs<\/span><\/a> shared this image on his private Twitter account. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an example of a notoriously bad outreach email:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nAs you can see in the image above, every mistake made here originates from the desire to get as many people as possible to \u201cbite\u201d on an uninspiring hook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, that kind of approach almost always results in failure. <\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of newbies tend to send outreach emails in bulk. They compile a list of resources and just shoot the same generic message to all of their prospects. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most link builders who actually have some experience in the industry, know better than to attach multiple recipients to a single message. But, just like the newbies – a lot of their work doesn\u2019t inspire people to message them back. Due to their lack of sincerity and understanding of the recipient of their outreach emails, the intent behind the messages gets easily unmasked and so the entire work becomes compromised. <\/span><\/p>\n

Every detail counts here. <\/span><\/p>\n

As Tim pointed out in his comments about the notorious outreach – there\u2019s no need to get overly descriptive in your outreach emails. Especially if you\u2019re pushing certain information on a subject that\u2019s irrelevant to the person you are contacting. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re targeting someone who has a popular blog, it\u2019s safe to assume that your recipient will probably be aware of your intent. He or she is bound to be receiving tons of outreach emails<\/a> everyday. Your prospect already knows how the game works, so you shouldn\u2019t waste your time selling ice to an Eskimo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best option here is to cut down on the BS and focus on providing value.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson 2<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you want a link, you\u2019ll have to earn it. Simple as that. If you have the time and resources, do your best to produce something unique. If you have something new to report, you should make that the heart and soul of your pitch. <\/span><\/p>\n

Top bloggers and influencers will surely appreciate a heads up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sites with big audiences are in constant need of high-quality content. Even though they are often hard to impress, there\u2019s always a gap there in need of filling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research your topic well before pitching it to your prospect, and be transparent about what exactly is it that you can do for them. Articulate your idea in a way that immediately grabs your recipient\u2019s interest and makes him or her see that you\u2019re not just another scam artist. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson 3<\/span><\/h3>\n

No copy-pasting!<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though the subject of this blog post is built around the phrase \u201coutreach templates\u201d, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you should send the same email to 100 or more recipients and expect every single one of them to provide you with a link. <\/span><\/p>\n

The point of this article isn\u2019t really to give you copy-paste material, but to help you understand how to script your emails in order to make them feel legit. Don\u2019t just focus on the exact words – focus on the narrative and try your best to understand the structure, because that\u2019s the only thing that can truly help you improve your success rate in this part of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s clear, let\u2019s focus on the outreach examples themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

DISCLAIMER:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Before you start reading everything listed below, please keep in mind that every single one of these messages was created for a particular target and client. Try not to <\/i><\/b>obsess <\/i><\/b>over the niche and industry we\u2019re targeting here, and just focus on what\u2019s at the core of the content that\u2019s being presented in every one of these examples.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
