AttentionMax: A Compelling Pitch For My Attention

  • David Jones · 2 years ago
    Max, this is a great post. As a PR guy myself, I've adopted a fairly simple rule when reaching out to bloggers: Ask them first if they are interested in getting a "pitch." Of course there's enough info in my introductory e-mail for them to make an informed decision, but it's a couple of sentences at most.

    If they say yes, send them the info. If they say no, move on.

    Why people send unsolicited mail (even the "not blowing smoke up your rear" un-pitch) to people they don't know and assume it won't be received as spam is beyond me.
