Link Building Email Example (member only)

I received the email below in an attempt to get a backlink placed on one of my sites. I thought it was a good example of how to write a backlink request so wanted to pass it along to my premium members.

Subject line: Apologies in advance, Recruiting Headlines

Hi Recruiting Headlines,

This is a cold outreach, which gives you 3 options:

1.Ignore me, and continue working (most popular)

2. Send me an angry reply with lots of profanity.

3. Find out what I want to give you in exchange for you linking to our amazing blog post:

I manage the content for Robert Neckelius and when I showed him your article “How The Gig Economy Will Change In 2020”, he thought it was awesome and asked me how we can get them (you) to link to us.

I told Robert “let’s do something different, and offer them your book “2 Hour Agency” with all the upsells!”

He was a bit hesitant, but I stressed the importance of us not being like every other blogger out there who asks for links without offering anything in return. Robert agreed, and here we are.

We’ve recently published a long-form article on How To Move From Solo-Freelancer To Starting A Digital Agency, you can check it out here https://neckelius.com/freelance-to-digital-agency/.
