Did you write something awesome and want the world to know all about it?
Then I have a goodie for you.
I’m sharing the list I use for the outreach of my SEO articles.
I went from writing well-crafted articles and no one knowing about them to writing well-crafted articles and people knowing about them.
All thanks to this list.
For a while it didn’t occur to me to ask to be featured in SEO newsletters.
I thought of it as an organic process. First, you build a following on Social Media. Then, people see your work there and include you in their SEO newsletters.
But there’s a shortcut to that. You can pitch your work directly to publishers.
Recent chats with fellow SEO industry contributors Raquel Gonzalez and Preeti Gupta showed that I wasn’t the only one not knowing about those pitching forms.
That’s why I decided to put this out today.
➡️ Don’t wait to be discovered. Make yourself discoverable.
Writing great articles is step one. Being the voice of your work is step two.
Without further ado, here’s the Google Spreadsheet to copy.
What SEO newsletters are covered in the spreadsheet?
The spreadsheet covers the following SEO newsletters:
- Tech SEO Tips
- Search Engine Round table
- WTS newsletter
- Blue Array Newsletter
- SEOFOMO
- Content Forward
- The Signal
- Rich Snippets from Traffic Think Thank
- The SEO Weekly
- Search and Grow with Toni
