2. I Clearly Stated What I Could Potentially Do For Their Business Blog

I wanted to let an editor know what they’d get if they consider hiring me as a writer. Since the editors were looking for a writer, I wanted to show to them the value they should expect in each of the blog posts I deliver.

I also included a bullet list of post elements I would add to the write-up somewhere in the middle of my pitch email.

If I’m hired, you can rest assured that every piece of content I produce will have:

• a captivating headline
• an irresistible introduction
• resources, stats and examples where necessary
• a CTA (call-to-action) for your readers
• an entertaining and engaging voice

As a matter of fact, this bullet list of blog elements was a new attribute I included in my writing pitch and it made me win.

3. I Cushioned My Inexperience

In the pitch, I included a link to my Curriculum Vitae on LinkedIn. And I mentioned that they’ll get to know about my freelancing experience if they click through the link.

You can get to know more about me on LinkedIn which delineates my freelance writing experience.

Even though I had no pitching experience; I included a link to my unfurnished LinkedIn profile. But my inexperience was all cushioned by giving extra work (asking the editors to click on the link in order to verify my blogging experience).
