Power bloggers are generally busy individuals. So, be careful not to insult them when reaching out to influential bloggers. That means being careful of the method and means you use, as they have the power to tarnish your brand’s reputation online. Here are three tips… three things you should NOT do when trying to get power bloggers to blog for/about your brand:
1. Don’t Waste Their Time
An email that gets straight to the point has a better chance of getting a positive response when reaching out to influential bloggers. Always be straightforward about what your intentions are overall.
2. Don’t Send Bulk Emails
Every power blogger is different from the rest. Some are okay with offers for paid reviews. Others may be insulted. Some may be honored with your invitation to host your podcast or be a featured guest of your webinar. Others may not.
That’s why it’s important that you tailor each email for each individual blogger based on what each enjoys doing online. What types of blog posts does she/he tend to publish to earn a living? Do some research so you can tailor your approach accordingly.
3. Don’t Pass the Research Buck to Interns
Your interns have nowhere near as much passion for your industry as you do. Therefore, they don’t have what it takes to reach out to industry professionals properly. So, do your own research for your emails when reaching out to influential bloggers. Even if you have your interns create the emails, you and only you should be the one who does the final review before sending the emails.
