She had a pretty strong subject line and initial blogger outreach email in the first place, but I hadn’t replied as I was on vacation when her email came in.
Her follow up email is hilarious and starts by capturing my attention with a funny (fake) quote and GIF from a popular tv show I used to watch and have written about. Her email then wraps up with one polite sentence reiterating the request from her original email without trying to guilt trip me whatsoever.
Needless to say, Andriana got a reply after that awesome follow up.
Let’s look at another blogger outreach follow up email example.
This person has an admirable follow up hustle (2 follow ups within 14 days), but the content albania phone number material those follow ups weren’t adding any value to the conversation:
Good Follow up on a Blog Outreach Email Template but Over-Used Template and Not so Relevant
Because I immediately deemed the original email and request not to be a good fit for my blog (plus it followed a very stale template I get multiple times per day), this blogger outreach was already off to a start that didn’t resonate with me.
Where the follow ups went wrong though, is that they never sought to add more (or different) value.
Both of these follow up emails from this blogger just followed the format of coldly nudging me to respond to their email.
They didn’t offer up an alternative idea, they weren’t humorous or interesting at all and they only referred me back to their original email without a reminder about the context of their initial ask (more work for me to do). Plus, their blog layouts didn’t particularly instill any confidence in me.
What happens when your blogger outreach succeeds?
On the other hand, let’s assume that your target blogger does do what you’re asking of them in your outreach email.
You need to make sure you follow up with them after they’ve done that too.
First, it’s important to thank them for taking time to work with you—which is just good manners.
Cultivate that relationship, especially if the first collaboration goes well.
