Why So Many Extremely Savvy Marketers Are Good At Blogger Outreach!
(And Why You Should Be Too!)
So what exactly are you (consistently) doing these days, to drive targeted traffic to your WordPress website and or blog?
And more importantly, is it working?
(Important note: Entrepreneur the password is “blogger outreach!”
Does it need any strategic tweaking? Is it the type of process, you can readily scale up, for even greater, (bankable) results?
Or, (like a lot) of other, aspiring bloggers, are you totally frustrated, up to this point?Or do you fall somewhere between the two major extremes?
Whatever the case may be, would you like to emulate, the proven targeted traffic generating strategies, (and power network) building methods, some of the top bloggers, walking the planet, currently use!
If so, you are definitely talking about using some form of blogger outreach.
Because, as you’re about to discover, blogger outreach, is definitely, one of the proven methods of choice, by some of the blogospheres, top bloggers in the world!
Why Do So Many Extremely Savvy Marketers Rely On Some Form Of Blogger Outreach To Help Move Their Businesses Forward?
So I should probably start at the beginning,right? So one day, completely out of the blue, I get this totally unexpected email, from a fellow blogger, named Eli Seekins.
And it turns out, Eli is a successful student/customer of blogging expert Sue Anne Dunlevie. And since I too, regularly leave my two cents, (comments) on Sue’s outstanding blog as well.Eli saw one of my recent comments, and reached out to me, via email.
(That entrepreneur would be the beginning of the blogger outreach process!Just in case that wasn’t crystal clear to this point!
)Anyway…
He introduced himself, and shared an incredibly powerful true story,(about overcoming seemingly hopeless odds) via his blog, that you definitely want to check out asap!
And as a direct result, I readily took advantage of a free 30 minute strategy/brainstorming session we had, about a week later!And we literally bounced a gazillion and one possible joint venture marketing ideas off each other!
And since that time, he and I, are now blogging buddies! Meaning, we both routinely comment and share each others content, on our various social media platforms.And for the most part, I thought that might be the extent of my connection to Eli!
Effective Blogger Outreach Is Definitely A Gateway To Long Long Term Opportunity!
So fast forward, about 90 days, give or take.And again, completely out of the blue, I get another blogger outreach type of email message.Only this time, it’s from another complete stranger, that is a freelance writer/Coach.
Who like Eli and myself, is also a huge fan and follower of Sue Anne Dunlevie’s blog, and a student of Eli’s, as it turns out!
His name is Ayodeji Awosika.And it also turns out, he’s got a best selling Amazon book, entitled, “The Destiny Formula.” (Who knew?)
And he mentioned, how he was basically following Eli’s battlefield tested blogger outreach strategies, and that’s why he was reaching out to me.
Because, just like Eli before him, he had seen one of my recent blog comments on Sue Anne’s blog.
(And BTW, just in case you don’t already know!Sue Anne Dunlevie, just happens to be one of the worlds top blogging experts!So get over to her blog asap!Join her list and start applying her proven (money making ) advice today!)
And since I’m also a follower of Sue Anne’s proven blogging strategies, and her blog happens to rank in my top ten sources for blog traffic, according to my Google analytics stats, anyway!
I tend to visit Sue’s awesome blog, (and leave) a comment at least once per week!
Make Blogger Outreach An Integral Part Of Your Long Term Power Networking Strategy!
So after I responded to him, and thanked him for leaving a positive comment on one of my latest post, and for sharing it on social media too.
I suggested, once Ayodeji started to compile some verifiable numbers, with regards, to how many responses he got, versus the total number of outreach email messages, he originally sent out.
I suggested, he “thank” Eli, by sending him a brief, 1-3 minute testimonial style video, and upload it to youtube, and immediately send Eli the link!
Just alerting Eli to any success, the strategy had provided. And I also made him aware, my fellow blogging buddy, affiliate marketing expert, Peter Beckenham was the one, that originally shared that proven video marketing strategy with me, via one of his outstanding post!
Thanks Peter! (Hint: Peter is the guy in the video featured in this post!)
And within a very short period of time.Basically a day or two, Ayodeji got back to me, in order to “thank me” for some of the potential marketing strategies, I had gladly shared with him.
Isn’t It Amazing How Many Potential Doors Networking Basics Can Open?
And as a direct result, he informed me, (much to my surprise and total delight!) He was going to approach some editors he knows personally, that routinely blog about small business and successful online marketing strategies etc.
And he was going to strongly suggest they link to some of my blog post!Of course, he’ll get no arguments from me!
I immediately “thanked” him, and emailed Eli, to make him aware of all that has taken place thus far!And the net result is, both Ayodeji and Eli informed me, to send them the link to the post, the moment it goes live!
And I’ll forward the link to both Sue Anne & Peter too!
So entrepreneur, I sincerely hope you can see and appreciate, why, so many extremely savvy (online) marketers, have and definitely will, continue to make blogger outreach an integral part, of their long term blogging strategies!Shouldn’t you too?Now as is customary during this part of our show.

Hi Mark,
I’ve never heard of the people that you mentioned in this post but I do now that no matter how much we try to convince ourselves, there is not one of us here on planet earth that can do it on our own. We have been wired as human beings to NEED the assistance of others. Even the notion of self-made millionaires is a lie. No-one is self-made. Somewhere along their journey there has been a helping hand of some sort.

Isn’t that the truth Rachel!
It’s sort of like suggesting, one player is the main
reason, a team won a championship!LOL!
As if, that one player could win all by themselves!
And as you pointed out, on or offline, your business/service definitely
needs all types of indirect and direct help it can get!
And the more of it we get, the better we all seem to do!
Thanks so much, for sharing such an extremely powerful and often
overlooked detail!

Hi Mark,
If we, as bloggers don’t outreach, we will get nowhere. We start by sharing good content, then go on to other bloggers and read, comment and share with our friends. You just don’t talk the talk Mark, you walk the walk. You are always reaching out and you are a true gentleman. Really! I can go on and on with the many adjectives to describe my admiration for you, but as actions speak louder than words, I’m here and will share your awesome content all over the place.
I loved the way you put Peter’s “Badass Bloggers” in here and I always appreciate that description he gives about me. I am honored and grateful.
Now..on my way to blast this one out.
