Get together a list of 10-20 of these people. Follow them on social media, share their content, and comment on their blogs. Do all the things you wish people would do for you.

After that, reach out to them and ask for their feedback on your content. Be genuine about it – talk about how you found them, what you love about their blog, or what you admire about them. The more genuine you are, the better your chances of getting a response.

Once you become better than acquaintances with them, ask them straight up if they’d mention your content on their blog. Make sure it’s valuable for their readers, and they’ll probably be more than happy to help.

We talk some more about that in the next chapter, which is all about effective blog promotion, check it out:
