For Life Hacker I found the people who wrote about learning online and then wrote each one a semi personalized email.
The email said hey I have read your posts on X (something related to learning) this is why you and your readers would benefit from using us. Might be obvious but how can you benefit the readers is the focus not all about how you are cool.
Btw sometimes you contact writers/bloggers never hear anything then 4 weeks later without warning they write about you. Don't get discouraged because they don't get back to you. It doesn't mean they are not interested, just they are busy. Of course it could mean they don't care.
best of luck.
- adzeds 11y agoI guess I could highlight the top 25 publications in my industry and then post the top writers on those publications an email to see how I get on.. Any tips from your emails to Lifehacker that I could use? Is it best to talk more about them and then drop in my website at the end to ask them to take a look and consider writing about it?
- bruceb 11y agoJust reference what they wrote and maybe a comment on it then transition to your site and benefit to readers. No need to go overboard with praise just show you have actually read at least a tad of what they have written. Can say I would be happy to tell you more about X not please write about us.
