Successfully Pitching Bloggers

It’s been now a really long time I am into the world of blogging, I myself don’t remember when I started, perhaps at a very young age I had this vision of reaching out to the great entrepreneurs, talk to them and discuss ideas. Since last 2 years or so I have been pitching about my business ideas to big successful entrepreneurs and journalists, some of them did come to my rescue while others having busy lifestyle actually had NO reason to listen to me after all their business is much more important than mine. Still with one motto in mind I had been out contacting them, phoning them, emailing, etc. I did get a lot of response too which made me feel I am worthy of it and finally that I was successful in my work.

Sometimes I just think over the days when I started off, there were times when I was ignored and there were even times when I got messages which I was looking for. I got stuck with an idea of writing then, writings about successful pitches which differed far away than those which dint make any difference! Well, here is what I found out –

We have often come across successful individuals, who talk less but do more as the saying goes, “Action speaks louder than words”, I often think how successful entrepreneurs carry on with so many things at one go, then I got the answer its all about actions that matters. One of the main reasons of successful pitching was keeping it short and sweet, in our fast paced life no one has time to read long emails, letting all the details in just few short paragraphs helps as they are simple to read and up to the mark. You can share with the entrepreneurs the essential details what you want to put across without letting it look like an essay, we know that people are busy so make comfortable reading for them by putting lesser words and more meaning to it. And if by reading simple details that impresses them, they are surely going to mail you back for more details, isn’t it fair?

No matter how much ever big the enterprise, they will need people at your positions to work for them, you can state in your mails, easy agreements through which they can hire you for your talents, I have seen pitching does helps in this, as here you will state your qualifications and past achievements. Reach out and let them know of your qualities and you will get quick response if they are interested.

It’s very important to state a clear message in your headlines, this is the line that can impress someone to read further or simply delete without proceeding ahead. Write specific thing in your headlines; put your message across in few words. I know for small entrepreneurs, achieving the above stuff might not be as simple and easy, I have myself experienced some instances in which I have sent same mails to two different entrepreneurs, but got ignored by one, its all about individual perceptions too, that matters most of the time and the way you present yourself to the companies.

So take note of the above mentioned points and remember to follow the KISS rule that is “Keep It Short and Simple”, perhaps these might remind you every time you sit for pitching, All the best!!!

If you have browsed through a countless amount of websites for several years, then you have probably noticed that there have been big changes in the way that a majority of individuals write the content that they place on their blog.

In the past, most of the blogs generally contained information about special events that occurred in their family life, and there were also review posts that bloggers would write, containing their own personal views on specific products they recently purchased. It was very rare to run across a blog where they were trying to sell the readers on a specific service or product. There were more than likely some people who, in fact, did end up purchasing the products that were written about, when all the writer was trying to do, was simply state their own opinion about the product.

Numerous blog posts found in today’s fast paced and high tech society are written in a completely different style than in those that are mentioned above. Chances are, when you are viewing a blogger’s post, there is an alternative reason behind the act of providing their readers with an informative and well-written post. In one form or another, their ultimate goal is usually to try to sell you something. This can range from different types of products, specific services, ad space, or they may have even set out to sell themselves, such as in the case of a freelance writer.

If you are starting a blog, an important factor to remember, is to write in such a way that it persuades the reader. You want to avoid making them feel as if they were hit head on with a bothersome sales pitch. As far as the world of blogging is concerned, the writers who choose to use the sales pitch approach, instead of one that offers a persuasive touch, is an individual that rarely grows into a successful blogger.

When you use a persuasive writing, it can be helpful to include key points, as evidence that may be needed for any arguments of logic. There is nothing wrong with adding your point of view on matters that pertain to personal issues. However, when writing persuasive material, it is important to only include factual comments. Statistics and examples can be to your advantage when your information has been obtained from a reliable source. Another tactic to consider, would be to include testimonies from experts that are involved in some way with the topic you are writing about.

Conceding any opinions that may be opposing, before they occur, is a great way to give the reader every piece of information they could possibly need. Answering questions that are likely to be asked can go a long way when you are using persuasive tactics.

One key factor that should never be forgotten when writing a blog post, is that you are interacting with ‘real people’. It is much more beneficial to write in friendly tones, as if you were writing to a family member or one of your buddies. At all cost, you should avoid getting caught up writing in what will feel like a mechanical or robotic tone to your readers.
