I know that you will understand who the blogger is?
Yes, the one who create blogs.
Well, do you know why we create blogs?
The importance of blogging is mainly in businesses. It is also done to generate traffic on a particular website. Overall, you can say that the primary use of blogging is in the fields of sales and marketing.
There are many such reasons that blogging is essential.
It can also be used as a tool to share our views on a particular context with larger audiences, which means that we can share our thinking with other peoples too.
In this way, blogging is used in a lot of places in the modern era, which is a world of internet and surfing. It can also be used by politicians, students, teachers any many more such peoples.
Now let us focus on the word ‘blogger outreach.’
Blogger Outreach
You might have some ideas about what exactly blogger outreach means.
Let’s imagine a situation in which you opened a new shop which is less popular. What do you need to do right now to increase its sales?
All you need to do is to advertise your shop as much as you can to get more and more peoples to visit your shop. Just like this, if you are going to write content and blogs, then all you need to do is to try reaching out to more number of peoples to make your blog a popular one.
It is merely a method to generate traffic to your website or your blog. This can be done by sending the pitch to relevant peoples or targeted audiences to get, and more people read your content or blogs.
There are two methods to do blogger outreach.
Methods for blogger outreach
The two methods are:
- The sniper method
- The shotgun method
Let us discuss these two methods in brief.
The sniper method
In the sniper method, the pitch sent to targets is personalized, and the objectives are very less in number.
These targets are relevant bloggers and journalists. They are chosen so that they can provide us some positive results in return. It is a time-consuming method as time is taken to personalize the pitch and the waiting for the results by our targets is also a time-consuming job.
The shotgun method
In the shotgun method, the pitch that is sent to targets is not a personalized one.
Also, the goal is large in number. It takes less time than the sniper method because the time needed to personalize the e-mails will be saved to a great extent. Also, if we are going to target a large number of peoples, then we can expect that the output we are going to get will be too high.
But the demerit of this method is that the pitch sent will not attract bloggers that are formal and popular, but the visitors of our blog or site can be expected to be significant in this method.
Now, as you understood both the methods of blogger outreach, then which way do you prefer a better one for you?

Backlinks
Will you mind if someone is going to use your website to generate a link to their website?
This is what backlink is. It is an excellent source of generating traffic to a website. It can be used as a tool to improve search engine results and ranking.

It takes a lot of time as “Rome was not built in a day“. The same is the case of backlinks that networks can’t be built instantly. Indeed it takes a lot of time to make a connection.
Various reasons support backlinks, and due to these features, backlinks are gained in the wrong way. They have become a great marketing source.
