This is such a great article. However, it makes me sad that articles like this must be posted. The process of approaching anybody should have been developed in elementary school.

1. Someone seems cool and they have similar interests.
2. You tell them that you think they’re cool & you have similar interests.
3. You find your own coolness by bringing something to the table and offer/hope to be friends. If they don’t respond to your friendliness, try again.
4. Stay cool and maintain the friendship

It may seem juvenile and simple but why complicate a proven system.

I think the problem occurs when people initially approach someone as a blogger first instead of a possible friend.

Thank you for the BONUS POINT tip! I wasn’t sure how to approach other bloggers who may be interested in becoming an affiliate for my goals mentoring membership program.

Since this program is only going through a beta test right now, I don’t have traffic to offer anyone so I will be sure we both win through the commissions portion of the affiliate program.

THANKS so much!

MY website and blog are not yet live and I certainly want to be correct; greatly appreciate your comments. Do the same blog link rules apply to websites? For example, if I mention your name, is it rude to link your name to your website?

Solid tips Daniel. Just emailed this to a few of my clients who I’m helping do blogger outreach.

Thanks for the reply there.

I had a sponsor once, and he was very happy with the perfomance. Since I have fewer ad blocks, each block gets good no. of clicks.

But I am having a hard time convincing sponsors. As always, it will be better soon I guess.
