What if there was a secret in how to write the perfect pitch letter? I have many people asking me how to write the perfect pitch letter. Are you trying to land a guest blog post? Maybe you are reaching out to a major company asking them if they would give you free tickets or wanting to sample a product.  They say the devil is in the details. I’m not a fan of the devil personally I think he is a wimpy jerk. So instead I’ll say there is one thing that could be blocking your perfect pitch letter. It may be you.  There is a secret to the perfect pitch and I’ll share that in today’s video so make sure you watch to find out what that is. I know it’s shocking but the reality is that many times we put things in our pitch letter that shouldn’t be there and it hinders our chances. Some pitches are much too long or  loaded with stats that many  times haven’t been requested. Perhaps we don’t even pitch because we think there is absolutely no way we will get what we are asking for.  So we don’t. Then we wonder why nothing is happening for our blogWriters Block -Doesn’t Exist Why There Is A Quick Fix. Read more … » or our businessHow To Bridge The Gap Between Idea And Profit.

  1. I like some of your ideas about the pitch process. Would you mind if i were to rewrite my own pitch letter based on a template like yours?

    Also, do you know of a good place to find “brand PR reps?

  2. Nope don’t mind at all have at it. When you want to pitch a brand go to their website and look for the PR person. That’s a good place to start.

  3. I’m looking at attending a writers conference in November. I’ve had many people tell me I need to pitch a poetry chapbook. I have several poetry publishers in mind. I do suffer from the no pitch letter even started. Hoping attending the writers conference with an external deadline will be motivating.


  4. Hi Lisa, Great Video! I currently pitch companies that I would like to work with and get free products to review and also products to giveaway in return for a review/giveaway post on my blog. I am always fearful of getting rejected but I have taken rejection well :-) And to my surprise I often get what I asked for. For now its mostly smaller products (under $100) but I am hoping to in the future be able to pitch for larger products that I would like to review.

    One question I do have is what to do when companies send you press releases? It seems like they want me to just post the release but I would love to return their email with a pitch for a review of the product or ask for some sort of compensation for posting the release but I just do not know how at this time to go about it the right way. Maybe you can do a video or post about this. I am part of your VIP Blogger Club so maybe we can address that there as well. THANKS!!!!!


    • Absolutely I will cover this :) ) And I know you’re in the Inner Circle At The Blogs to Riches Club I’m so happy to have you there- I will lay out an exact strategy and tips to help you do that and awesome that you are getting products now great job!


  5. Will try to use your tips a.s.a.p. – got to start that SCHEDULE first – thanks!
