Editors get far more guest post pitches than they can read, so a short, specific email gets noticed. Enter the blog you are pitching, the editor's name, up to three article ideas with a one-line summary each and links to your past writing. The tool writes a ready-to-send pitch in the tone you choose and gives you three subject lines to pick from.
An editor reads a pitch to answer three questions. Will this suit my readers, can this person write and will it be easy to work with. Your email should answer each in a sentence or two, with links to back up the claim that you can write.
Specific ideas show you understand the blog. A title that fits the site's style and fills a gap proves you did some research, and it saves the editor from guessing what you want to write about.
Look at the blog's most popular posts and recent topics. Pitch something that sits next to them but is not a copy: a different angle, a newer example or a question their readers keep asking.
Give each idea a clear promise. A good summary says who it is for and what they will be able to do after reading it. If you cannot write that sentence, the idea needs more work.
Keep a simple list of who you pitched, when and what you offered. Many accepted pitches come from the second email or from an idea you offered months earlier, so records help.
If you are accepted, deliver on time, follow the style guide and link only to sources that help the reader. Editors remember writers who make their job easier, and those writers get asked back.
Short. A few lines of introduction, your ideas as a list and a couple of links is enough. Editors read pitches quickly, and a long email suggests a long, unfocused article.
It names the reader and the benefit, for example 'How to prepare your website for a busy holiday season'. A specific title with a clear takeaway beats a broad one.
They come from three fixed patterns built around your first title: a guest post idea line, a title-first line with the blog name and a short pitch line. Results come from templates, so edit them to sound natural.
One polite follow-up after about a week is fine. Reply to your own email, keep it to a line or two and do not send more than one or two.
Most blogs allow an author bio with a link, and you can mention your site there. Asking for specific links in the body can put editors off, so read the guidelines first.
