Commenting on their blog regularly. Leave thoughtful, useful comments over the course of a week or two before emailing and they’ll start to notice you. Make sure your comments are genuinely adding to the conversation, though. If you can’t think of anything to say for a particular piece other than “great post,” skip commenting on that one.
Sharing their content on your social media channels. Even if you don’t have a large albania phone number material of your own, this is still a nice gesture and genuinely helpful thing to do—especially if you’re adding some genuine commentary, asking a compelling question and tagging the blogger. Whenever possible, add your own little snippet to the social share (like “I loved tip #9 here” or “great advice on SEO for new bloggers”), rather than simply sharing the title and link to the post. The more personalized your share, the more likely you’ll be to make a lasting impression.
If genuine, leaving regular blog comments works extremely well at building a foundational relationship.
Here’s an example of a couple comments (on a recent blog income report of mine) from readers that started by regularly leaving comments on my blog posts… and have since gone on to collaborate with me on a range of projects like guest posts, quote placements, social shares and more.

Here are some great ways to go even further—and offer your target blogger something more valuable could include:
Linking to their blog from your own. Especially if you’re offering a recommendation, using one of their articles as a positive example of something, or including some sort of commentary about the blogger you’re trying to build a relationship with.
Rating and reviewing their podcast on iTunes. This is another extremely genuine way to help a blogger out, as well as a good way to get noticed by them. It also demonstrates that you’re actually listening to their content, which will come in handy in convincing them you’re really invested in them once you send your email.
Reviewing their book on Amazon or GoodReads. Like reviewing a podcast, this is truly helpful to the blogger in question—and shows that you’ve read at least a decent amount of their work (and in most cases, paid to do so).
Proactively offering a testimonial for their product or service. If you’ve bought one of their blogging courses, purchased a book, put a free template to good use or have used their services at some point, it’s incredibly helpful to reach out and offer a testimonial that the blogger can use in their marketing efforts or directly on their sales page. Very few people offer unsolicited testimonials, so this is a great way to stand out from the crowd—I can personally tell you this is a guaranteed way to get a response from a blogger like me. Plus, it also helps remind the blogger that you’re a paying customer.
Want to really stand out from the crowd with your blogger outreach? Send an unsolicited testimonial about how their work has helped you.
