You are embarrassed.
Lately you have been isolating yourself to work like crazy on your blog, but your results are barely visible.
The only traffic spike to your website is your mother finally being able to type in your domain name correct.
And you are starting to realize that all your hard work and effort have been a total waste of time.
But what´s even worse is that you feel…
…like a total LOSER.
You are starting to DOUBT yourself.
And stupid thoughts are appearing in your head…
I am a total FAILURE…
I am not SMART enough…
I don´t have what it TAKES…
Perhaps my brother / sister in law was correct. I should probably get a haircut and apply for a normal job.
STOP it! I can´t witness this madness anymore.
Snap out of it. Right now.
If you are willing to learn new knowledge, apply massive action and work your b*tt off, you can succeed.
Yes, you read correct. Success requires a lot of hard work.
People who say otherwise don´t know what they are talking about, and would probably have been burned at the stake in the medieval times.
Note: Even though I am not a big fan of incompetent self-proclaimed fake experts, I certainly do not support them of being a victim for physical violence. Just wanted to make that crystal clear, so you can just cancel your “Fake Expert Stake Burning Event” in your Google Calendar.
Having a blogger outreach strategy has helped me to…
*Drum roll*
Get Featured On 158 Blogs In 14 Months
Okay, I admit it. The drum roll was not necessary, since the headline of this article gave that part away (duh).
You don´t need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that out, right?
To be quite honest, when I found out that I had been featured on 158 blogs in my first 14 months of blogging with my first blog…
…I was happy.
Nah, who am I kidding?
I was freakin´ ecstatic. I was doing a victory dance while jumping up and down (yup, it´s possible).
And yeah, I needed to recount the number 3 times before I believed it.
I got featured on some of the biggest blogs in the business and marketing space, blogs like Inc., Huffington Post, Ahrefs, SEMRush, SumoMe, Boost Blog Traffic and Jeff Bullas.
Note: I have never been more humble and grateful. And to be quite honest, I have A LOT of people to thank. I´m thanking many people in this post, and the rest I´m thanking in my previous post about blogger outreach strategy.
In addition, my blog got included on the Top Personal Development Blogs in 2016. Tim Ferriss. on #2, and the guy from Norway (moi) on #50.
Even though my mother didn´t know who Tim Ferriss is, she kind of got the importance that it was kind of cool by the energy of my voice.
But hey! I´m not special (well, my mother might think I am).
I am just a guy from Norway who put in the time to learn the skills and then decided to implement the skills…
CONSISTENTLY.
And you can learn it too.
We will talk a bit more about that later.
You might be wondering about the importance of getting featured on a lot of big blogs.
And let´s be completely honest, you might actually be thinking…
Why The Heck Should I Care About Blogger Outreach?
A good question indeed.
When most people are hearing the words blogger outreach, they think about connecting with other bloggers.
However, connecting with other bloggers is just the top of the iceberg.
It´s really about building genuine relationships.
The intention is NOT to network because you WANT something from that person in the future. But because you truly want to get to know the other person.
It´s a long-term strategy, but it will repay your efforts tenfold.
You might be thinking “But Tor, isn´t blogger outreach just a way of getting someone to share your link?”
Not at all.
Getting people to share your link is easy.
Heck, getting influencers to share your link is actually quite easy, if you do it the right way.
Getting someone to share your link is cool and all that.
But if you are doing blogger outreach only to get someone to share your link, you are actually like a monkey begging for peanuts.
You are thinking too small.
You need to think…
BIGGER.
5 Insanely Awesome Things That Blogger Outreach Can Fix
Thing 1: Targeted traffic
Can blogger outreach be used to get targeted traffic?
My first roundup post 80 Productivity Tips From Incredibly Busy Experts generated 20,231 page views in 6 days (1500+ social shares and 86 comments).
Check.
Thing 2: Targeted subscribers
Can blogger outreach be used to get targeted subscribers?
In my post about blogger outreach strategy, I had a 18,14 % conversion rate. I got 295 targeted subscribers on that single blog post from 17th of December 2015 to 22nd of January 2016.
Check.
Thing 3: New customers
Can blogger outreach be used to get new customers?
In the last two months I have been using blogger outreach to turn cold leads into clients paying me $500-1500 per month.
Check.
Thing 4: Support from the big dogs
Can blogger outreach be used to get the support from the big dogs?
I got testimonials for my blogger outreach skills by these awesome influencers…
Evan Carmichael said:
Yaro Starak said:
Jon Morrow said:
Jaime Tardy said:
John Lee Dumas said:
Okay, support from the big dogs? Check.
Thing 5: Unimaginable Awesomeness
Since blogger outreach is a long-term game, I often network with other entrepreneurs just because…
well, I LOVE it.
And to be quite honest, I don´t plan for specific events to happen. It´s all about being genuinely interested in getting to know the other person and and to focus on providing value and NOT asking for anything in return.
When you do that consistently, you will connect with other entrepreneurs…
and REALLY awesome stuff can happen.
I got invited to speak on the Entrepreneur Survival Summit together with big names like Brian Clark, JV Crum III, Dorie Clark and Danny Iny.
In addition, I got featured on a lead magnet as an expert bloggers together with people I really look up to: Clay Collins, Pat Flynn, Bryan Harris, Neil Patel, Jeff Bullas, Amy Porterfield and Ramsay Taplin.
If you told me that this was going to happen 14 months ago when started blogging, I would have made sure that the people in the white coats would have come knocking on your door.
Why?
Because at that time it was freakin´ unimaginable.
To be quote honest, I still don´t believe it…
It will probably sink in 573 days from now.
I don´t tell you this to brag.
I tell you this because I want to show you that…
Swallowing Your Stupid Ego Can Skyrocket Your Business
Most people are all about what´s in it for me?
Me, me, me…
And they are wondering why they aren´t able to build real relationships?
If you are only focusing on your own progress and what other people can do to HELP YOU…
you better be ready to fasten your seat belt.
Why?
Because life is about to give you a hard lesson a lá crash and burn.
Try to flip the coin.
What if you were to only focus on what you could do to help other people?
And you would be interested in building genuine relationships with other people…
NOT because you want something…
but because you really CARE.
Do that and you will be surprised how the world will CHANGE.
But it´s a long-term gain. Nothing happens overnight.
You might be thinking “Tor, is it really possible to connect with people who are way more successful than you?”
Hah, touché.
The short answer is…
YES.
However, email, commenting on blogs and tweeting will only take you so far.
If you really want to take it to the next level, you have to…
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone And Skype It Out
Lately I connected with these awesome influencers on Skype…
Listen, what I´ve been doing doesn´t require you to be a rocket scientist.
Neither does it require you to have golden hair where the sun doesn´t shine (yeah, that´s a Norwegian expression of a VERY lucky person).
So what does it require?
1. To learn the basic skills you need to build genuine relationships with other people
2. To use those basic skills in a strategic way, so you can build genuine relationships with influencers
Because the way you blogger outreach to network with someone who has a blog at the same level as you is…
COMPLETELY different than how you blogger outreach to Evan Carmichael who has an audience of 238 000+ subscribers on his YouTube channel and 217 000+ followers on Twitter.
But you already knew that, right?
So if you don´t want to look like a complete fool when you reach out to influencers and perhaps even get blacklisted, join my awesome free course below.

The 158 Blogs I Got Featured On In My First 14 Months
The list should contain a few more than 158 blogs, but it´s not a big deal.
Again I just want to thank everyone who has been giving me the opportunity to write for them, who has interviewed me and who has written about me. For that I am FOREVER grateful – seriously. A million thanks!

Whoa! I just got four pingbacks from your blog, Tor! So I had to come over to check it out…
Boom! You’ve been a busy guy…
Brent
Thanks for commenting, Brent.
Yup, I have been working a “little” bit
Tor
Awesome Tor, i love your blogging tips you inspire a lot of people and thanks for the mention!
Thanks for your kind words, Bill. I really appreciate it.
Have a great day!
Tor
Hi Tor,
FANTASTIC!!!! I can remember the first time we spoke on Skype when you were first starting. Congratulations on the fruit of all your hard work.
Not only does it speak well of you, but it demonstrates your desire to do what must be done in order to get the results you want.
You didn’t sit around and wait for things to happen, you made them happen!!!!
It’s been a joy watching you grow and put yourself out there.
~ Don Purdum
A million thanks for your kind words, Don.
Yeah, I remember our Skype call. LOL. I was totally clueless in the start.
Your are doing awesome too, Don. I guess when I see my friends, like you, crushing it, I push myself even harder to keep up
So thanks for pushing me
Have an awesome day!
Tor
That’s pretty awesome buddy. You’ve cracked it and many of us are now turned to you to find out how you did this.
You also made a wonderful addition to my list of top and savvy bloggers so I appreciate the shout out on this post.
I see better days ahead so let’s keep giving
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Enstine. I really appreciate it.
Compliments are always so much better when you get them from people you admire
Keep rocking!
Tor
Wow Tor, that’s incredible, and in such a short space of time! You’ve obviously worked incredibly hard and you deserve it. High Fives, Charlotte
Thanks a lot for commenting, Charlotte
Yeah, strategic and heard work usually pays off.
A high five is coming back at ya! *SLAP*
Best,
Tor
Hey Tor,
Whoa! 158 blogs. You’re a blog outreach machine.
When it comes to reaching out to influencer blogs, you’re strategies are top notch. I loved how you just reached out to influencers with purpose. Now, time for me to stop reading and duplicate what you’ve been doing
Cheers,
Thanks for commenting, Ryan
I appreciate your kind words. It means a lot coming from such a successful online entrepreneur like yourself.
Let´s totally crush it in 2016
Tor
Hi Tor,
This is fantastic – and worth a closer look at (so that one can reverse engineer
)…
I remember, I first landed on your blog when you wrote a piece, I think, for Sylviane Nuccio…ever since, I have hoped right into your list, read your entries passionately and enjoyed and learnt from your works and reality.
It is important to note that in today’s blogging world, if anyone is missing out on blogger outreach, such a person does so at his/her peril!
There is, as you have said, traffic – and targeted traffic at that…aside that, there are also a ton of other benefits, especially, backlinks – and ensuring organic traffic that they beautifully make possible.
You, Tor, certainly are the man!
Enjoy the day!
Always,
Akaahan Terungwa
P.S.
In my language (Tiv), ‘Tor’ means king…certainly. you are clearly heading to rightfully claiming your crown. Will you invite me for your coronation?
Thanks for your awesome comment, Akaahan. I appreciate it BIG time
In order to having a successful blog you need great content, great values and constantly be over-delivering to your tribe. But we all know that, right?
Once you have those pieces in place, and you put blogger outreach into the mix…
it´s like pouring rocket fuel on a bonfire.
It goes KABOOM!
Have a great day!
P.S. Thanks for the sharing the meaning of my name in your language. If I ever get a coronation, LOL, you´ll get the front seat, man
EVERY post is EPIC!
Thanks a lot for your kind words, John.
I truly appreciate all your inspiration and ongoing support.
You truly motivate me to hustle really hard.
And as you know, when you hustle strategically and hard…
not for a day…
not for a week…
not for a month…
but for as long as it takes.
There will come to a point when you just…
IGNITE
Tor
Well look at you go Tor! You have been busy, but it has definitely paid off! Thanks for listing my roundup in this amazing list of blog posts.
Thanks for stopping by to comment, Corinne. It means a lot.
Well, lying on the coach watching sitcoms on Netflix will not get you far when it comes to your business
There has been times when I was wondering about if all the hard work was really worth it.
In retrospect, I guess I can say that it was
Have an awesome day!
Tor
Hey Tor – this is awesome, congrats! Keep up the great work
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Sonia.
We are going to crush it this year
High five! *SLAP*
Tor
Hi, Tor,
I remember the first time we Skyped when you are a “baby” blogger and now you are hobnobbing with the big guys (jealous sometimes)!
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Sue
P.S. Now it’s time for a professional photo shoot (just saying)
Hey Sue,
awww, you are so sweet, my friend. Thanks a lot for your kind words. You definitely just made my day
As I have said several times before, I would never have had this progress if it wasn´t for you mentoring me in the start. You are not my BOFF for nothing
I am truly and forever grateful for everything that you have done for me, Sue.
I actually did a professional photo shoot on Tuesday
Have an awesome day my inspiring my friend and fairy “blogmother”.
Tor
What an amazing ride, Tor! You are a man of action and I’m happy to see how that action has blessed you immensely. Incredible story.
The first time we met was quite memorable, as you were not wearing any clothes (ha ha, your marketing nude article.) Ever since then, I’ve enjoyed following your progress.
We should schedule a skype visit soon.
Congrats Tor! Say hello to Luna for me.
Matthew
Hey Matthew, thanks for your kind words. You are so kind.
I never imagined that the following line would ever come from a man: “The first time we met was quite memorable, as you were not wearing any clothes”.
I usually heard those words back in the days from the ladies. Arg! Why did I say that. Now my better half, Sara, will make me do the dishes for the rest of the year
Note to self: Don´t try to act cool in the comment section. She sees everything.
Joking aside. I will say hello to from you, man. She woke up a few hours ago.
Keep rocking!
Tor
Hi Thor,
All I can say is WOW. You’re just WOW.
Thanks for believing that someone like me, (who has English as her second language) can make it like you did. It means a lot coming from an expert like you.
I will follow all your tips and see where it will land me. I’m in my 8th month of blogging so I have 6 more months to work to see if I can really do it.
Thanks for the inspiration and motivation. I salute you!
Charmaine
Hey Charmaine,
I really appreciate your kind words. It´s comments like yours that makes all the hard work and effort totally worth it.
Actually, your comment was so great that I won´t even mention that you misspelled my name. Woops, too late
Potato potatoes…
thanks again for you kind comment.
Have a great day!
Tor
Yes, I realized I misspelled it but I already clicked on “Post Comment”. There wasn’t a way to go back, Tor. My apologies. But still, more power to you!
No worries, Charmaine
Have a super day!
Tor
HOT DAMN are you a blogger outreach ninja of the coolest kind! It’s so awesome to get to see first hand how much this technique has shaped your brand and sent you on a huge growth propel. Me thinks you found your calling, yo!
Thanks for sharing your secrets to exposure AND the epic Q & D guide to time management that you put together for my blog-o-state.
You brotha, are just plain ass badass! BAM!
Dre, thanks a lot for sprinkling your awesomeness in my comment section, my rocking sista!
Yeah, on our mastermind call in December, I said that I had a good gut feeling about me positioning myself this year as the blogger outreach go-to-guy.
And I guess I´m on the right track
I had a great time dishing out some awesomeness to your amazing audience
You have inspired me as well, my friend.
What you are doing with with Pinterest to drive traffic to your blog is just…
C-R-A-Z-Y.
This will be our year, Dre.
Fist pump coming right back at ya, sis! *BAM*
Love the way you write Tor!
The results you’ve seen in your first two years are amazing! I can’t wait to apply your strategies!
It’s so refreshing to find a blogger who is totally excited about what they do.
(I’ve been reading/following a handful of blogs over the past few months, and I think this is the first time I’ve stopped to leave a comment—your energy is contagious.)
You rock. High five! *SLAP*
Hey Eli,
thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it man.
I have actually been hustling hard for 14 months. And I will keep pushing, so I will get even better results after 2 years
Like that I made you come out of the closet to drop a comment.
I feel honoured.
High five to you too! *SLAP*
Stay awesome.
Tor
Hey Tor,
Congratulations, man!
Not only are you a fantastic and brilliant guy, you are also a good person.
You deserve all this success. Looking forward to more of it too.
We’re honored to have you write on our blog by the way. Keep rocking!
Hey Carlo,
thanks for your kind words. It means a lot.
I try to be a good person, but I think that my baby daughter Luna on 9 months might disagree when she points at the picture of the pink unicorn, and I haven´t bought it to her yet
Note to self: My next shopping list should be updated to include a small horse, pink paint, a horn and glue.
Thanks for the invite. I actually have already guest posted on your blog, and I had a blast
Stay awesome.
Tor
Not bad at all my friend!
Thanks, Peter.
I agree, not too shabby
Tor
Hi Tor,
You have been amazing all these years. From the first time I saw your blog, before a year, I knew it was different.
You have taken blogger outreach to a whole new level.
This shows you actually practise what you preach on this blog “time management”.
I would love to have you over at my blog, in case you’d love to share with my audience.
Have a great weekend.
-Swadhin
Thanks a lot for your kind comment, Swadhin.
I really appreciate it. You just made my day
Too many people have blogs where they talk about theories and case studies other people have written.
If you do that, you´ll just be a “reporter” redistributing old news.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. But you will just be one of the gazillion other bloggers doing the EXACT same thing.
In order to build your brand fast, it´s important that you make yourself the crash test dummy for your audience.
You need to be the pioneer so you can go into the unknown…
perhaps you will be attacked by wild animals…
perhaps you will fall into a swamp…
perhaps you will run out of food and water…
the goals is that you will SURVIVE (Duh) and be able to report back.
It´s uncomfortable as heck, but once you do it.
You are CREATING the news that other people are writing about.
That´s exactly what I did when I used blogger outreach to turn cold leads into clients who pay me $500-1500 per month.
I promise you that it was scary. But it´s well worth it in the long-run. And yeah, I survived and reported back.
Best,
Tor
excellent – I signed up for your course as well – looking forward to it. I have an extremely successful private practice as an alchemical acupuncturist (in manhattan and upstate ny) and it is my heartfelt dream to bring the work out to a larger level. I’m an SBO member and have seen your progress over the past year – kudos and thank you for your generosity in sharing your methods!
Hey Therese,
thanks for commenting. Always awesome to see a fellow SBO member.
I appreciate your kind words and you signing up for my course.
A flying high five coming at ya!

Tor
Hi Thor,
Congratulations on all your success. 158 blogs in 14 months… My guess is you don’t sleep much
You have definitely created a winning formula when it comes to outreach. Consistency is key for sure. The more you are seen for adding value and not just holding you hand out can lead to your desired results without even asking.
Most people are impatient by nature, including me
! We want the share, the backlink, the mention much sooner than later, which leads to use being to aggressive and not giving the relationship enough time to grow.
Awesome post Thor!
Take care!
Hey Steven,
thanks a lot for commenting.
Well, I haven´t been sleeping that much lately, but that´s more due to my baby Luna not wanting to sleep during the night.
As you mention, if you are impatient, it will lead to you being more aggressive and less smooth in your outreach.
That will most likely make your outreach smell of desperation instead of laid back coolness
As in growing genuine relationship in real life, you need to be genuine and take your time.
It´s not about what they can do for you…
but what you can do for them (and you will reach out in a polite, non-intrusive, non-sleazy way) only focusing on providing value for THEM.
That will make all the difference in the world.
Tor
P.S. My name is Tor, not Thor. However, I understand that people can mix me up with my brother from another mother – Thor the flying superhero in Avengers. That being said, in Norse mythology the god Tor is written without the h. Darn you, Stan Lee (creator of Marvel super heroes), now everyone will soon be calling me Thor.
Tor, you’re an amazing person!
I’m reading your article and I see myself, just at the beginning of this way (115 days ago I published my monster post-research on TOP 5 online experts). You’ve achieved amazing results, I am sure that you will achieve even more!
Thanks to blogger outreach I got more than 600 shares, 60 comments to the first article in my life. You have to build real relationships, and not to ask for something immediately.
I compare it with getting to know your beloved one. You should wine and dine him/her, give presents, always think more about him/her, and not about yourself. And when you become a couple, you have to continue developing relations.
Hey Michael,
thanks for your kind words. You are so kind
Congrats with your results. That is awesome.
I like your metaphor. However, one small, but important comment.
When you are getting to know your below one, there are a few pitfalls:
1. You are on your first date (and the only reason why you and most likely the other person are on that date, is to see if you can hit it off and you guys are a good match…and then finger crossed, a few years later you will buy a pink house with a white fence, get two kids and a dog)
That means that you are already EXPECTING something from that date. Even though your heart is pure, you do have a expectation to: Get feelings from that person and that it will be mutual.
2. If only one of you have feelings for the other person, it can be really awkward.
Well not everyone get feelings for each other on the first date, but you get my point.
I see networking with people and blogger outreach to be more like getting to know another person as a friend, not because you expect anything in return, but just because you genuinely want to get to know the other person.
If it works out, cool.
If not, still cool.
There is no expectation. There is no pressure.
Just like two people starting to talk while watching a hockey match.
If you guys connect and it evolves into a friendship, it´s because it was natural.
Does that make sense?
Have an awesome day!
Tor
Boom, Boom and BOOM! Great job, brother. Always a pleasure to be in your corner. You already know what’s the next level.
Hey Ricky,
LOL. Thanks for the comment. It´s always a pleasure to have you in my corner, bro.
Yup, the next level is to hustle even harder.
We will totally crush it this year!
High five!
*SLAP*
Tor
Hey Tor
Love the way you write buddy! This is the first time any writer forced me to comment.
When I read the headline I was like “is this even possible?”
Now I believe it.
Great job man.. would be applying your strategies in my new blog.
Keep it up.. and all the best for your career.
Hey Himanshu,
thanks a lot for your kind words
LOL. I really appreciate it.
As mentioned in the article, I had to recount the number 3 times before I believed it myself.
You are the second person telling me that this post made you to come out of the closet to leave a comment for the first time
I guess, I can live with that.
Congratulations and a high five to you!
If you want to apply my strategies, you would need to be willing to comment more on blogs and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
You might want to jump on my free course on blogger outreach. I am over-delivering easy applicable tips like crazy.
My goal was to create the best free course on blogger outreach out there.
And judging from the feedback I have gotten so far, it seems that I have achieved my goal
Stay awesome.
Tor
Hey buddy;
that was so true..leaving the comfort zone. As Jon Morrow said..”work for 80 hours a week in the beginning”.
One more thing
Mind if I promote your website’s content on my website?
For free?
Obviously you will have the credits.
Great article brother. I have really enjoyed it and I would love your writing skills. Due to non-native English writer I’m not good writer but by this article i got something new from you.
Keep writing
Thanks for your kind words, Akash. It means a lot
English is my third language, so I understand what you mean.
The best way to learn a new language well is to…
read a lot of great content, watch movies and then write, write and write some more…
in that language
Have a great day!
Tor
This is really excellent. Hats off ..!! ???
Thanks a lot, Sneha
Have a great day!
Tor
Great post Tor!
An “other-centered” focus is essential to success. There is no quick fix. It takes time, patience and perseverance to develop your personal ecosystem and that includes being genuinely interested in others to develop relationships. I usually coach my team that it takes about a year before you see results.
Hey Kathleen,
thanks for commenting and sharing from your experience.
Yes, once you are truly genuine about building relationships with other people, they will notice.
How?
First, because you will immediately stick out (and almost no one are doing it successfully).
Second, and you are focused on what you can do for them, and not the other way around.
Yes, it´s a long term game plan. However, once executed consistently and genuinely over time, amazing opportunities will come your way
Best,
Tor
This is some good information. Many people approach me to get on my blog, but their tactics often turn me away. I’m going to share this post in my media kit to help them get it right.
Hey Fred,
tanks for your kind words and for including me in your media kit.
I appreciate that BIG time.
A flying high five coming right at ya! *SLAP*

Genuinely impressive, Tor. Never run into anyone else who breaks down outreach like you do. No wonder you’re named after the God of Thunder. The rest of us can only dream of being worthy to lift the mighty Mjolnir.
Hey Luis,

Comments like that makes all the hard work and hustle totally worth it.

Great advices you give here Tor, surely need to put some of them on use in the following months. And maybe start working harder and write better article.

Hi Tor,
I’ve visited your blog a few times before, but this is the first time I’m commenting. I just signed up for your blogger outreach course since a) this is EXACTLY what I need right now, and b) I’m thoroughly impressed with this post and the progress you’ve made. Holy cow.
I’m not new to blogging and did quite well a few years ago actually with building up a bit of a community on a previous blog, but I quit since I had no plan or genuine passion for what I was doing at the time and decided to pursue other things. I think what I always struggled with the most was how the heck do I build real relationships with people through a screen? It just never felt real to me, you know?
I’m looking forward to seeing what will show up in my inbox over the next couple of weeks!
-Elise
Hey Elise,
thanks for your kind words and for signing up for my course.
I certainly do understand that you quit blogging, since you didn´t have passion for your topic.
In order to succeed in any type of business, it´s definitely a big advantage to have passion
Why?
Because you need to hustle like crazy to succeed.
I think you will find the course very useful.
See you on the inside.
Have a super day.
Best,

Funny joke about the only constant source of ones traffic source coming from their mom. Looking at the post’s title, i thought at first if this was actually possible. I think the post’s content has made me think otherwise. Having always been the lone blogger, now i know better. Connecting with other bloggers and showing genuine interest in them is definitely worth it.
I really appreciate your kind words, Grace.
Building genuine relationships with peers, rising stars and influencers are the secret sauce that can truly skyrocket your brand

Incredible content.

Tor, incredibly useful post! Loved the most your including comments of the “big dogs” – they really reveal so much about your technique: giving to people a couple times (commenting, sharing their posts socially), connecting on Twitter, emailing words of appreciation, then giving again – all before asking for a guest post, inclusion in a roundup or a testimonial.
Plus you just did a TON of outreach & guest blogging – all in 14 months – inspiring!
Learning so much from you – thanks again!
-John
Thanks a lot for your kind words, John.

I am so glad that you found it useful. I makes all the hard work and effort SO worth it
Perfection can never be achieved. But it´s important to always be willing to learn and grow.
The goal is not to do something perfect, but to do something that is good enough.
And when I say good enough, I mean that you actions are good enough so you will achieve your desired result (and above average quality.)
Have a super day.

Killer post, Tor! I’m a blogger myself and am fully aware of the importance of blogger outreach.

What you’ve done is truly remarkable and I can’t wait to get my hands on your course. More power!
Thanks for your kind words, Christopher.
Your comment just made my day! Such feedback makes all the hard work and hustle so totally worth it
It´s with blogger outreach as with most key activities in any business, it takes time (especially if you want to become really good at it).
That being said, building genuine relationships with peers, rising stars and influencers online have been the BEST way for me to grow and scale my business.
I have already been able to 10x my business the compared to last year

Just discovered your blog from Robbie Richard’s blog and it’s my first time commenting on your blog. Am inspired!
Agree with what you say

Anyway, just wanted to say this post was awesome and has given new-found inspiration. Thanks for all the great post!

I have been searching on Google for some genuine stratergies to connect with influencers and there I found your blog post.
I would say that you have nailed the topic buddy and it is really inspiring that you have featured by so many bloggers.
Blogging in an isolated medium doesn’t make any sense and yes, we need to connect with the fellow bloggers and the niche influencers.
It is truly awesome that you consolidated all your interviews here, I’m just bookmarking this post to read your replies.
I feel that it is a good opportunity to connect with the other experts who have been got featured along with you in the round-up posts.
Getting people to share our content in indeed needed and I totally agree with your viewpoints.
Keep your great work and I’ll try to be regular here. Have a great weekend ahead!

Hey Tor,
Greetings. Hope you’re doing great and I’m learning a lot from your emails.
I see, you recently contributed in an expert roundup post, but I couldn’t find it here.
Would be awesome if you could share it with your fans
Btw, thanks for sharing your advice.
Have a great week.
Hey Akshay,
thanks for commenting and for your kind words. It means a lot.
I actually stopped updating the places I have been featured on long time ago. It takes too much time.
Yeah, I never thought something like that would happen to me when I just started out a 22 and a half months ago.
Awesome seeing you here, man.
High five!

Hey Tor,
I am following a lot of things and I’ve made some great (influencer) friends.
They are so helpful when you genuinely give your time and provide value.
Thanks again, man.
High five!
Cheers,

That’s pretty impressive. As someone who is just starting out, I would really like to network with other bloggers. I’ve tried emailing a blogger with my article to guest post and heard nothing back. That was discouraging for me. But I did sign up for your email course and will apply your tips. (I saw your talk at launchwithpartners and it resonated with my beliefs as well – I also noticed that you follow Yaro, I’ve been listening to his Master your Mindset audios and I like it a lot)
Thanks a lot for commenting, Ambrose.
I really appreciate that.
Thanks for signing up for my How To Blog Outreach Like A Boss course. That course will definitely help you to connect with influencers online in a genuine way.

Hey Tor,
First of all congratulation buddy. Due to lack of time, it’s some difficult to read a long post sometimes. But your post is the awesome buddy, you just made my day.
Blogging is not just publishing some new contents every day. Though it is the way of communication with others who is looking for some information’s online.
After reading this post I learnt many great ideas. And a clear concept of blogger outreach. Thanks Again Dear.
Thanks for your kind words, Jitender. I am glad to hear that I just made your day. Right back at ya!
Have a wonderful day!

Hey Tor,
I’ve been blogging since May, 2016 and been in SBO for approximately 4 months but guess what? This is the first time I’m having a different perspective of the term “blogger outreach”.
Thanks for sharing.

Very Inspiring journey. I have a question. When can a blogger think of full time blogging, I mean, what is the right time to take part time blogging to full time. Is there any time?
Thanks a lot, Harish.
Good question!
You can think of blogging full-time when you…
1. Are hitting a monthly revenue that will cover your living expenses
2. Have saved up enough money so you are able to work X amount of months with your blog
Note: Doing blogging full-time does NOT equal earning a full-time income. It´s crucial that you are able to cover the expenses for you and your family before you do it full time.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Tor

Thanks a lot Rob. Glad that you found the post helpful
