Afternoon squire.

Both good points and ones that will make your life easier. If you have something of value and you have researched the people that will be happiest to find this valuable thing then you’re on to a winner. This is why people should be spending more time creating their own content than continuously searching for yet another site to write for.

Basically:

1 – Write for 5/10/20 sites on a ‘consistent’ basis
2 – Create interesting/question answering, timely or mindblowingly awesome content
3 – Share it

I think there might be a strategy there…

Yo, Glad you enjoyed the read. I’m not the 1st to mention the lingo change but it’s quite obvious when you think about it. It’s like flirting with a girl but talking to her like you do with your mum (I know some guys who specialise in such chat some intentionally others not).

Sometimes. Does depend on the market though.

I think you’ve nailed home a few good points there and I’d like to add a couple of earth shattering ideas of my own if that’s ok?

Firstly, when you do outreach have something of *value* to offer, because if you haven’t people wont care about how honed your outreach email is.

Secondly, send outreach to people you *genuinely* believe will agree that what you’re offering has value.

If those 2 things are in place chances are the rest will be much easier.

Nothing breaks the ice as well as using not only ‘non SEO’ language (so avoiding ‘links’ for example as you mentioned) but also using the prospect’s lingo.

Huge difference between a generic email and a custom crafted email that cites events relevant to the person’s life, using the language they use.

I think we also often forget that they are real people – whom we should respect, not just expect a link from.

Thanks for the cool post!
(hilarious p.s btw)
