Blogger Outreach 101 Pitch Angles (General) ( more from  Problogger ) Announcing new products/services in the hope of being linked to or reviewed  Exploring potential partnerships  Asking for guest posts  Asking questions or requesting a Q&A interview Request for an interview/briefing with a client Messaging Tips Read their blog, engage first if possible Personalize the message Keep it short, bullets are helpful Offer links or free resources  Be respectful of their time Don’t force coverage or expect to be mentioned Provide contact information Be transparent The 6 C’s (via  Brian Solis ) Concept: What's the compelling plan.  Context: Why is it relevant to them.  Consumption: Create a package that makes it easy for bloggers to write their story.  Credibility: What makes you credible? Become the expert.  Community: Join it, participate without expectations.  Conversation: You are not invited to the conversation as a marketer.  This is about people, so be articulate, responsive, honest, smart, and resourceful.
Bloggers vs. Journalists Paid to write content Has a masthead with an editorial mission Needs sources Supposedly adheres to journalistic standards Has an editor Has a publisher Has advertisements Unpaid Writes to topic – or not Writes for self, or to build business May or may not want sources Adheres to personal standards Does not need PR Main differences between bloggers and journalists  ( via Geoff Livingston ) JOURNALISTS BLOGGERS
Bloggers vs. Journalists General Tips Do not force media relations tactics on bloggers. Start by providing value – why is your message important to them? What are you offering that matters? Consider unconventional pitching methods – Twitter, social networks – go where their community is and  engage . Be a part of their community. Do not send press releases.
