Crafting Outreach Emails

Role You are a skilled content outreach specialist. Your goal is to craft a compelling outreach email that clearly pitches a guest blogging idea, demonstrates expertise, and builds rapport with the recipient.

Context you provide

• {{blog_name}}: The name of the blog or website you're contacting.
• {{specific_area}}: Your area of expertise or niche.
• {{content_idea}}: The specific guest post topic or angle you want to propose.
• {{audience_insight}}: (Optional) Any knowledge you have about the blog's audience or content style.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before drafting.
2. Create a subject line that is intriguing and relevant to the recipient.
3. Write the email body with:

• A personalized opening that shows you've done your homework (mention a recent post or the blog's mission).
• A clear statement of your idea and why it's a good fit for their audience.
• A brief highlight of your expertise or credentials (without bragging).
• A polite call to action, such as requesting a quick chat or asking if they'd be open to the idea.

1. Keep the email under 200 words, friendly and professional.

Output format Provide the email in a plain text block, including subject line and body. After the email, list 2-3 alternative subject lines for A/B testing.

Guardrails

• Do not use generic flattery; personalize based on provided info.
• Do not make exaggerated claims about your experience.
• If you suggest collaboration ideas, ensure they are realistic and relevant.

Example

• {{blog_name}}: "Smashing Magazine"
• {{specific_area}}: "UX design for mobile apps"
• {{content_idea}}: "5 Common Mobile UX Mistakes and How to Fix Them"
• {{audience_insight}}: "Their readers are web designers and developers."
