Things toAvoid in Your PitchDeareditor,

I love your site! I am the editor-in-chief of mytravelblog.com, an extremely popular blog, and I would love to work with you sometime! My blog has been ranked in the top 100 travel blogs by thatotherblogger.com and I know my readers would LOVE to learn more about your company!

I have a HUGE following!

I’ve been traveling full-time since 2011 so I can write about almost any destination and I’m always on the move so I’m sure we can find a place where I can review some tours. I’m going to France soon. Let meknow if you need anything!

My readers love to travel and I know they would love to hear about your company.

I’d love to write about the Super Deluxe Ultimate 7-Day VIP Exclusive Experience. Can we setthis up for three days from now? I’m traveling with my “photographer” and four “assistants”(ages 3-9) so I’ll need tours comped for all of us.

In exchange for this two-hour tour, I can guarantee seventeen blog posts and 40 socialmedia mentions.

Thanks,First name only, never says the name of the blog or attaches media kit or mentions stats
