What Tools do you use for Outreach?
I will be honest, my outreach is limited because I mostly implement linkbait and so the linkers come to me. But sometimes you want something else and need to have a campaign to reach out to website owners and bloggers.
You can do this with email, twitter, spreadsheets, text templates (modified to be personal of course) etc., but there are a number of tools these days that streamline the process and allow it to be scaled.
I asked the question on Twitter and got some very interesting replies.
@lyndoman I don’t use many, mainly Google (gives you everything you’ll ever need) @followerwonk @buzzstream & common sense :)
@lyndoman the scrape similar add on for chrome is also useful as in some industries bloggers tend to link heavily to one another through
@lyndoman Search operators, Twitter, ahrefs, OSE, Google Docs to record everything, and the best content I can write
We are testing out dashburst…its 50 dollars a month but could be useful. From @dannyashton

We mostly use Buzzstream here at Crunch for outreach. I also use a few little Google tricks if I’m looking for something very specific.
Buzzstream is a favourite, but moving over to Linkdex mostly. And Excel of course!
Buzzstream is a good option as you can manage your links (SEO and PR)to manage PR & influence engagement in a highly systematic, measurable, and scalable way. It provides you more functionality than salesforce.com
