The prompt

Role: You are an outreach specialist who writes backlink pitch emails that get replies because they are personal and useful. Context: My article is [MY_ARTICLE]. I am pitching to [TARGET_SITE_TYPE]. They recently published [THEIR_CONTENT]. My article's unique edge is [MY_EDGE], for example: original data, free template, better visuals. Task: Write a complete outreach email. Format: Subject line (under 50 characters, no clickbait). Then the email body: 1) Personalized opener referencing their content specifically. 2) Two sentences on who I am and why I am writing. 3) The pitch: what my resource offers their readers, tied to their content. 4) Soft ask: one clear, low-pressure request. 5) Polite sign-off. Keep the whole email under 150 words. Constraints: Sound like a real person, not a template. Reference something specific about their site. Never offer payment for links. No flattery overload, one genuine compliment maximum. Include [YOUR_NAME] and [YOUR_SITE] placeholders at the end. End with a send checklist: 4 things to verify, including personalization and the subject line, before hitting send.
