6. Make a Clear (Simple) Request
Make a Clear Simple Ask in Your Blog Outreach Email Template
Whatever you’re asking for in your email, be clear and straightforward about it.

With a nearly 62% of emails being read on a mobile device today, the busy blogger reading your email may also have dozens (or even hundreds) of emails to get through today—and you don’t want them to decide that yours is too much work to deal with.

To make your request clear and simple, it’s a good idea to:

Write a subject line that succinctly reflects what you’re asking for. A few examples of albania phone number material email subject lines include things like, “Guest post submission: Ten Ways to Get Your First Hundred Subscribers” or “Would you share my post about beginner-friendly SEO?” or “Your feature on my blog” which are all very clear. Subject lines like, “QUESTION” or “Hi” or “(no subject)” are usually instantly archived when I sort through my emails in the morning.
Ask for what you want early in the email. For example, if your outreach starts with a subject line that makes it clear you’re hoping to guest post for the recipient, then it’d be smart to position your pitch (and why it’d be perfect for your blogger to run with) high up in the email—so that your recipient doesn’t have to read through paragraphs of text just to get to the purpose of your email.
Keep your email short and sweet. If you’re writing a novel in your outreach email, you’re doing something wrong. Remember the purpose of sending an outreach email in the first place… to open up a line of communication, start forming a relationship, provide value to your recipient and eventually make an ask they won’t want to refuse.

To make your request simple and clear, it’s also important to be sure you’re only asking for one thing—not making multiple different requests. That can cause instant overwhelm.

Don’t ask your recipient to do something time consuming right off the bat.
Time intensive requests like, “will you review my blog?” or “will you meet up with me for coffee?” will come across as lacking proper awareness—especially if you haven’t yet established some sort of relationship with the blogger you’re reaching out to.
