A few weeks ago, I published a lengthy blog post about how to use influencer outreach to build traffic to a new blog.
In it, I briefly mentioned introduction emails.
What are introduction emails? Let’s say that you want to reach out to a certain influencer. The problem is that they don’t know who you are, and whatever email you send them will just get mixed in with hundreds or thousands of other emails just like yours. So instead of contacting them directly, you first look through your own network first to see if anybody knows them. If they do, you simple ask them to email the influencer for you with an introduction.
It may not seem like this would make a big difference, but it really does make a big difference.
And in this post, I want to dive in a little further to dissect what really goes into using them.

A VERY LONG DISCLAIMER: This content plan is for those who are willing to invest the time, money, and effort into building a premium content business. This isn’t a guide on how to put up something quickly and make money as fast as you can by taking short cuts and getting by on “just enough” work. This isn’t a guide on how to put up a $100/month site, or even a $1000/month site. If you’re looking for that, you’re going to waste your time reading this, and you don’t even really need to get into a competitive niche in the first place. This is an in-depth guide on how to build an online publication with the goal of possibly selling it for 7-figures in the future. To do that, we need to do things a little bit differently. Everything about your new site/brand has to be of premium quality – especially content. You need to build a strong brand, grow the right (targeted) audience of readers (and customers), and have the potential to be scaled to multiple times your size given additional resources. If that’s something that interests you, continue reading… 🙂
