Link building email templates

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.

Hi {{first_name}},

My name is [[your name]] and I run a site called [[your site]]. We're all about sharing research and advice for expecting and new parents - much of which is based on my family's experience.

The reason I’m reaching out is that I came across an article of yours on [[topic]] on [[source]]. In your post, I noticed you referenced an article from [[competitor website]] which leveraged outdated stats and data from 2013.

Recently, we spent significant time researching and putting together a detailed report on various related statistics. This included using more recent information and an additional 20+ years of data beyond what [[competitor website]] used. We also cover 14 extra data points with interactive graphs on similar topics.

Thought I'd share since you seem to be interested in unique and meaningful data to help tell your story.

[[Your URL]]

What did you think?

Take care,

Hey {{first_name}},

I am Erez from Israel by Foot. A personal website focusing on Nature and Hiking in Israel.
I am also blogging on the Times of Israel (DA=89) and a publisher on Atlas Obscura (DA=88).

I stumbled upon your page [[about or mentioning]] [[topi]].
I have just published a super-detailed page about [[anchor text]], including hikes and maps. I am sure it will be a useful resource for your readers.

I hope you can consider linking to this new page from your post.

* I am not paying for links! However, I will be happy to return a favor☺
For example:
Link to you from Atlas Obscura or the Times of Israel. (This can be done only for relevant high-quality content. I will never enforce a link that does not enhance the linking content).
Write for you high-quality content.
Share a post for you on social media.
Share with your relevant contacts in the industry.
Etc...
I am a big believer that there are always creative Win-Win options!

Thank you for considering,

Erez Speiser

Hi {{first_name}},

[[your name]] here from [[your company]].

I came across [[their URL]] while looking for [[topic]].

It's really helpful, thank you so much.

Though -- can I make a quick suggestion? I have a few resources here that might be good addition to your page.

Quick fact: They were added on [[page it was added]] too.

Would you be interested if I sent them over?

Hey {{first_name}},

I loved your recent article on [[article name]] and I noticed that you mentioned [[similar article]]. [[insert unique observation about the article]].

My name is [[insert name]] and I'm a [[position]] at [[company name]].

I recently produced a similar piece of content and was hoping that, if you find it useful, you could link to it as a resource for your audience.

I've linked to it [[here]] for you. If you find it helpful at all I'd really appreciate a share and a comment on the piece.

Thank you for your time.

Take care,

Hi {{first_name}},

First off, I’d like to thank you for mentioning [[brand / product]] within your recent article. We appreciate it!

I noticed within the article that you didn’t link through to our website when you mentioned us. Is there any chance that you can quickly update the post with a link? Here’s the link to save you time searching for it: [[link to homepage / product page]].

Thanks in advance, and if you never need any more info on [[brand / product]] then I’d be happy to supply you with it (imagery, video, content, etc).

Thanks again!

Hi {{first_name}},

I wanted to reach out to you regarding our link [[insert link]] in your "[[page title]]" article.

We thought that by changing the anchor text from [[current anchor text]] to [[new anchor text]], it would better benefit your readers who want to learn more about our product.

We appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you regarding our request.

Thanks,

Hey {{first_name}},

I just wanted to say, I’m a huge fan of your work. I especially loved [[link to one of their recent posts]].

Great stuff! [[Insert key takeaway or funny comment]]

I’m actually publishing a post on [[topic]] next week. Being a master at [[topic]], I thought you might enjoy it.

Would you care if I sent you the link when it goes live to get your feedback?

Thanks for your time,

[[your name]]

Hey {{first_name}},

I know we haven't met (yet), but saw that you shared a post on content upgrades (from Sumome).

Thought I'd drop you a quick note about a post I'm creating on why some content upgrades convert at exponential rates and others completely flop.

The guide that I am sending next week is very comprehensive with actionable tips and tons of case study examples.

Want a heads up when it goes live?

Cheers,
Sam

P.S. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Hey {{first_name}},

I noticed that in one of your blog posts [[URL]] you’ve included infographic on [[topic]].

We’ve recently conducted research on a similar topic [[more data about the research]].

I just wanted to ask you if you’d be interested to include our infographics in your blog post?

Just hit "reply" and I’ll send them to you.

Best,
Irina

Hey {{first_name}},

I just noticed that in your blog post [[URL]] you are using one of the infographics we recently created at Hunter. Glad you found it useful!

[[insert the infographic]]

Mind linking back to our blog post where this infographic was originally posted?

Either way, keep up the great work!

Best,
Irina

Hi {{first_name}},

I’m Irina from Hunter. I’m contacting you about your article [[title & URL]]. Great list!

It happens we recently published a [[study|guide]] that exactly dives into [[topic]]. [[Maybe one additional sentence about the content, but keep it very short]].

I think it would be a great addition to the list. Would it be possible to appear there? :)

Best,
Irina

PS. I would be happy to add 1,000 free requests to your Hunter account to thank you for the mention - just let me know the email address you’re using.
