Let’s Talk
Why Reach Out to NotOrdinaryBlogger?
Every great story behind NotOrdinaryBlogger.com started with someone hitting “send” on a message just like this one. Maybe it was a reader who spotted a typo in a travel guide and helped us fix it before thousands more people read it. Maybe it was a small business owner who wanted their product featured, or a fellow blogger curious about working together. Whatever the reason, the conversations that begin on this page are the quiet engine behind almost everything you read across our site.
We cover a lot of ground here — business strategy, travel guides spanning six continents, gaming news, marketing trends, and the occasional deep dive into something we just found genuinely fascinating. That breadth means we’re constantly relying on input from people who know more than we do about a specific topic, a specific city, or a specific industry. If that’s you, we want to hear from you.
Here’s What Actually Happens When You Contact Us
- Story tips and ideas. Stumbled onto something interesting in business, travel, or tech that deserves a deeper look? Our most-read articles often start as a single tip from a reader who noticed something before we did.
- Corrections and fact-checks. We work hard to get every figure, date, and detail right — but we’re human, and the internet moves fast. If something looks outdated or incorrect, telling us directly is the fastest way to get it fixed.
- Partnership and collaboration requests. Brands, fellow bloggers, and businesses regularly reach out about features, guest posts, and collaborations. We read every single one, even if we can’t say yes to all of them.
- Press and media inquiries. Journalists and researchers occasionally cite our coverage or want a quote — this is the right place to start that conversation.
- Just saying hello. Some of the best feedback we’ve ever received started as a simple “I really enjoyed this article” message. It means more than you’d think, and we read every word.
So whether you’re flagging something small, pitching something big, or just want to tell us we got a recommendation exactly right, go ahead — we’re listening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Most Pitches Never Get a Reply
Every blogger, editor, and journalist has the same inbox problem: dozens of pitches a week, and only a handful worth opening past the first line. The frustrating part is that most of the pitches that get ignored aren’t ignored because the story, product, or idea is bad — they’re ignored because of how they were pitched. A great story wrapped in a vague, generic email dies in an inbox just as easily as a mediocre one.
If you’re reaching out to us — or to any blog or publication — with a story tip, a guest post idea, or a partnership request, here’s what actually separates a pitch that gets a reply from one that gets deleted.
Do Your Homework Before You Hit Send
The single fastest way to get ignored is sending a pitch that makes it obvious you haven’t read the site you’re pitching. A generic “Hi, I love your blog and think your readers would love this!” with no specific reference to an actual article, category, or angle the site covers is an immediate signal that the same email went to fifty other inboxes unchanged.
Before pitching any blog or publication:
- Read two or three recent articles in the category you’re pitching to
- Note the tone — is it formal and data-driven, or conversational and personal?
- Check whether they’ve already covered something similar recently
Referencing something specific — “I noticed your recent piece on X” — costs you ten extra seconds and dramatically increases the odds your email gets read past the first sentence.
Lead With the Story, Not the Ask
A common mistake in pitch emails is spending the first paragraph introducing yourself, your company, and your credentials before ever getting to the actual story or idea. By the time the editor reaches the point, they’ve often already decided to move on.
Flip the order. Lead with the one-sentence version of the story or idea itself, then follow with who you are and why you’re the right person to bring it. A useful structure:
- The hook — one sentence describing the story, angle, or idea
- Why now — a sentence on why this is timely or relevant to their audience specifically
- Who you are — a short line of credibility or context
- What you’re asking for — a feature, a guest post slot, a quote, a link, a collaboration
This structure respects the reader’s time and gets to the point before they’ve mentally checked out.
Guest Post Pitches: What Actually Increases Your Odds
If you’re pitching a guest post specifically, a short outline or two to three headline options will get you further than a fully written draft attached cold. Editors want to see the angle before committing to the piece — sending a finished 1,500-word article upfront, before anyone has agreed to run it, often signals a lack of familiarity with how editorial collaboration actually works, and can come across as spammy link-building rather than a genuine content contribution.
A strong guest post pitch typically includes:
- One or two potential headlines
- A two-to-three sentence summary of the angle
- Why it fits this specific site’s audience, not just “content marketing” in general
- A link to one or two previous writing samples, if available
Brand and Partnership Pitches: Be Specific About the Ask
Vague partnership pitches — “we’d love to explore working together” — put the burden of figuring out what that actually means back on the person you’re pitching, which is usually where these emails stall. Being specific about what you’re proposing (a sponsored feature, a product review, an affiliate arrangement, a co-branded piece) and what you’re offering in return dramatically speeds up a response, even if the answer ends up being no.
Corrections and Fact-Check Requests: Be Precise
If you’re reaching out because you spotted an error, precision is what gets it fixed fast. Include the exact article title or URL, the specific detail that’s incorrect, and — where possible — a source supporting the correction. A vague “I think something in your article about X might be wrong” takes far longer to act on than “In your piece titled Y, the figure cited as $50 million should be $53 billion, per [source].”
The One Thing That Matters More Than Formatting
None of the structural advice above matters if the underlying pitch isn’t genuinely relevant to the outlet you’re sending it to. The fastest way to build a track record of getting ignored is mass-sending the same pitch to blogs across unrelated niches, hoping something sticks. Editors and bloggers remember pitches that clearly understood their audience — and that memory works in your favor the next time you have something to share.
