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!!!
