<b>Outreach angles people say are landing</b>

A few outreach-focused items worth grouping this week.
—
An agency blog shared response rates by angle: "broken link you have" beat "I'll pay you" 3:1 on first contact, because the first reads like a favor.
—
Worth a read: a Reddit thread where editors of small blogs explain what makes them ignore insert pitches — bulk tone, no named page, no reason the link helps their reader.
—
Also circulating: a template swap in a Slack group leading with a genuine content fix and only mentioning the link in the second email.
—
Counterpoint: one reply argued transparency upfront filters time-wasters faster, even if reply rate drops.

Editor's note: the split is favor-framing vs honesty-framing. Both work; they just attract different sellers.

Pick of the week: naming the specific page in the first line. Generic pitches die on sight.
