Hey Taylor,
I recently came across BanjosOnTheGreen.com and saw that you play a Deering Banjo. I broke the neck on my banjo a few days ago so I’ve been looking for a new one. I’ve never played a Deering before though: what’s your take on them?
Also, I’ve been writing up music articles and would love the chance to write on your blog. I’d be happy to send over a new set of banjo strings as a thanks!
Cheers,

Hey Sitemaster,
Been following your blog for a while.
Really enjoyed your [recent article] – the only sustained way to motivate yourself to study is to think about how you can apply or benefit from the information. Brute force memorization for marks is the fast lane to burn out and sometimes dropping out.
I have an article idea that I think would appeal to your audience. It’s about how to create your own super effective study guide for tough courses by turning every concept into a visual diagram.
a) It is very difficult to understand a technically challenging topic like coagulation by reading textbooks’ walls of text. Videos that animate and narrate the process save your sanity.
Smart Google searches to unearth publishing companies’ high-quality supplementary videos
Which parts of the video to screen capture for your notes – during aspects of a process you struggle to understand or remember
b) How to organize and summarize your screenshots
How to summarize every major idea into one sentence
How to find similar diagrams to reinforce aspects of a topic the images/screen captures you already have may be lacking
c) How to use Table of Contents and Headings to organize notes and screenshots in Word
How to use Table of Contents to facilitate quick jumps into different sections
I’ll be writing it in the step by step format you excel at.

You have been on my radar for a while now, and I’m particularly impressed with the success your having with [Website name ].

All our articles come from our co-founder [Co-founder name], whose writing has been featured in top publications like

If you check out any of those hopefully it will show that the articles are of the highest quality, unique and always related to the audience.

Hey [Website owner name]
My name is [your name] and I’ve been a subscriber of you blog for about 6 months now. I believe I’ve sent you a few emails and commented on a few posts and more recently I sent you a friend request in the DC.
If you have a few moments. I’d love to pitch you a guest post.
I’ve done some research on your blog and some of your most shared posts are
[link 1] – number of shares
[link 2] – number of shares
[link 3 ] – number of shares
It’s clear to me that part of what your audience loves about [his website name] is learning about what it’s like to be a location independent entrepreneur in a relatable way.
This make sense, as I suspect a lot of your audience is comprised of people who are aspiring to be location independent despite not knowing fully what it’s like, or who are location independent and want to read something they can related to.
As such, I’ve customized a topic I’d like to share with your readers.
[title of your post]
Frankly, being an entrepreneur can be down right lonely, and I know you’ve expressed this statement o your blog too. Many people hate the office but they forget about the things they are giving up when they seek location-less living. Things like fantasy football leagues, water cooler talk and group projects. While here are plenty of digital nomads out there, the said truth is, most of us aren’t connecting in an meaningful way.
Discussing this topic could be great for your audience ass it both educates want to be entrepreneurs, but also speaks to current entrepreneurs in a relatable way(we’ve all been there).
Let me know if you might be interested in having me put something like this together.

Hey [website owner name]
Can i feature you in a blog post?
I’m putting together a massive entrepreneur round up and I would love for you to be a part of it. I’ve connected with some very big names and I know that if you have just a few minutes to answer this question, it will provide some great exposure for your brand when it’s published. Plus it will be a very cool post, as our first sales always have a special place in our hearts.
Here’s what my audience would like to know.
[title]
By large, I essentially am asking you to ignore any small sales, like selling an old computer on ebay. I’m talking about a service or a product you offered.
If you can elaborate on it (how you came to the decision, who you targeted) great!
Feel free to be as specific or vague as you like and i am happy for you to include any links to your sales page if it is still active.
I know you’re very busy, but I have to set a deadline on this. If you can get back to me in 7 days, I can include you, plus a photo and biolinks (if you have them handy great, if not I can go digging).
Thanks
[Your First Name]
