Pitching guest posts for editorial backlinks. Proposing multiple specific titles dramatically increases reply rates vs. an open-ended pitch.

The template

Subject: Guest post idea for {{blog_name}}

Hi {{first_name}},

I'm a regular reader of {{blog_name}} — your piece on {{specific_article}} was particularly good.

I'd love to contribute a guest post. Here are three ideas:

1. {{title_1}} — {{brief_description_1}}
2. {{title_2}} — {{brief_description_2}}
3. {{title_3}} — {{brief_description_3}}

I write for {{other_publications}} and can share previous work samples. Let me know if any of these resonate.

{{sender_name}}

How to use it: Replace all {{placeholder}} variables with specific details before sending. The more specific your replacements, the higher your reply rate.

Personalization tips

  • 01Propose 3 specific titles — not a general offer to write something.
  • 02Reference a specific article from their blog — proves you read it.
  • 03Include credentials or past publications to establish authority.

Finding verified emails for this template

A great template only works when it reaches a real inbox. Before sending, make sure you have a verified email address for each prospect. emailfinder.dev finds professional emails by name and company domain, LinkedIn URL, or decision-maker role — and confirms each address is deliverable via live SMTP before returning it.
