The most honest link building email

Hi {{first_name}},

I know you receive dozens of emails where everyone asks you to link back to their website.

I confess this is one of them.

But let me tell you about two benefits you would get from it:

1. Your content will be more up to date. I noticed that you are linking to an article with some outdated tips on lead generation in your blog post: [[referring_page_url]]

2. I wrote an article detailing lead generation strategies for 2020 that our team and marketing experts tried and tested: https://hunter.io/blog/b2b-lead-generation-strategies/. I think it is a great match!

I will be delighted to provide you with 1,000 free requests on our service Hunter (if you are not a user yet, Hunter is the leading solution to find and verify professional email addresses).

Let me know what you think :)

Hi {{first_name}},

I just came across your article [[URL]] and wanted to explore the possibility of featuring our blog [[URL]] in it.

Would you mind sharing the criteria for featuring a blog/resource in your article?

Also, whatever we can do in return… just name it.

Collaboration or link sharing options?

Hi {{first_name}},

I noticed we are both writing on topics related to B2B Lead generation and why not work together?

Yes, it means we both target the same keywords but as would say in Dutch; "Alone you will go fast, together you will get further".

That is our philosophy when we started the site, working together with other professionals like yourself to provide high-quality content to marketing and salespeople.

- Would you be open to collaboration? We are open for the following;
- Backlink exchange
- Guest blogs (both ways)
- Any other possibilities

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Broken link

Hi {{first_name}},

I noticed a broken link in your article [[title]].

[[Describe the broken link, in what part of the article]]

Actually, I work at Hunter and I was reading your article because we are working on exactly the same thematics. To be fair, I think our article about [[topic]] would be a great replacement to the broken link :)

Either way, I hope this helped you out!

Thanks,
Irina
