If you want to learn more about when you might need to send a blog pitch, or learn about the things that hold most people back, then please refer to yesterdays post: Writing a blog pitch.
This post is about what I include in a blog pitch and some do’s and don’ts.
My Pitch ‘Template’
- You’re an expert in reviewing mascara.
- You’ve reviewed similar products that have gone down well with your audience.
- Your audience is similar to their target audience.
If you want to add stats, then that’s fine, but focus on what you’re good at. If you have 2000 followers on twitter, but only started your Pinterest account last week so only have 20 followers, or started it a while ago but don’t really push it, then don’t be afraid to leave that part out and just focus on your twitter followers. I have never been asked for any blog stats. I usually say something like:

Corinne this was so useful! I’m never sure whether I should contact them first or they should contact me first but there have been some brands I’ve been willing to work with that would definitely suit my blog. Thanks for the tips!! xxx
If you think they would suit your blog, then you should contact them!
Thus us such a useful post . As you said a lot of people are afraid of writing to PR’s .
I am happy that I am doing the pitch right but I am surely going to pick up some amazing points
Keep in touch

Great post Corrine! I’m definitely going to tweak my blog pitch after reading some of your pointers! BTW, judging your love for mascara, I love how you included it as an example in the post 🙂

Hahaha! The mascara thing was just an example 😉
I’m glad you found it helpful.
It was so great to see examples so thank you for taking the time to put this together! I really want to try to reach out to companies that are relevant more often and this was definitely helpful. I love the ending of when you said you didnt get rejected you just didn’t hear back!
Ha, I’m sure some people well get rejected but I doubt they would say anything nasty! Probably just that they aren’t looking to work with bloggers at the moment or something.
Cool post!!!
As alway Corrine you are a mind of information a useful and helpful post. I loved the chat about this the other night much of what was talked about I struggle with Lucy x
