Here are the 7 deadly sins of link building outreach:

1. Lust 💘

"So I know you never heard of me (or this company), but all these other blogs link to me so you should too"

2. Envy 😒

"I saw you're linking to A...but I just wrote B and it's SO much better than A. You should replace A's link with mine. It'll only take a sec 😉"

3. Pride 😏

"Did you know we're the best freakin' tool on the planet? You should totally link to us cause we're cool and cause I said so"

4. Greed 🤑

"Blogs A, B, C, D, E, and F link to me and you should too in this post you wrote 5 years ago"

5. Wrath 😡

"Wait, how come you're not linking to our awesome blog post? Ours will make yours SO much better. Your readers will thank you later."

6. Gluttony 🤤

"Link to me and I'll give some brownie points or buy you a coffee. I swear this isn't spam!"

7. Laziness (Sloth) 🥱

"Dear Sir or Madam"

Or when you get someone's name, company, or link wrong (aka the mail merge messed up)

If you've ever committed any of these 7 deadly sins of link building outreach, no worries, I'm working on a blog post to help you.

Will tweet about it when it's live!
