ngl i was pumped when i first found connectively. like a HARO but for business questions. sent like 30 pitches in the last week. got maybe two replies that were just 'thanks'. one outright rejection that was kinda rude tbh. my process was: 1) skim the requests 2) find ones kinda related to my niche (affiliate marketing) 3) write quick answers with my site as source. seems simple but conv rate is garbage. is this just a volume game? or am i missing something obvious like not being a 'real' expert? or maybe my site's too new? feels like im wasting time. anyone actually getting links from this?
 
spot on. ive been doing similar stuff and honestly i think its partly a volume game but also maybe your pitches are a bit generic? maybe trying to build more rapport or add some personalized touch might help? or is it just about hitting a certain number of pitches before stuff sticks?
 
last month i spent a week hammering out 50+ pitches to HARO type sites, got 3 backlinks lol. it's a grind, sometimes it's just about being persistent.
 
do you think your pitches are standing out enough? maybe adding some more personalized context or demonstrating real expertise could bump response rates. have you tried tweaking your approach to sound less like a quick template?
 
45 pitches in, got maybe 3 replies that were just thanks lol. so tell me, how many actual backlinks do you guys get from this kind of stuff? cuz honestly feels like a numbers game but also maybe i'm just doing it wrong? lmao
 
I disagree that it's just a numbers game, tho. Maybe your pitches lack a bit of personalization? Try using Help a Reporter Out (HARO) pro for better targeting and responses, it's legit and saves a ton of time
 
you really think it's not just about volume? i mean, even if you personalize, if you send like 30-50 and get 2-3 backlinks, that's still kinda the game. ngl, sometimes you gotta pump the numbers, then optimize for quality.
 
different angle: do you think maybe it's not just about volume but the quality of the pitches? like maybe they're ignoring because it sounds too generic or not enough proof of expertise? idk just a thought.
 
I disagree that it's just a volume game. Do you think maybe the problem is your pitches are too generic or not enough proof of expertise? like maybe if you added some real stats or case studies, they'd see you're legit?
 
most people overlook that connecting for links isn't just about volume, but how you position yourself. i've had luck with pitchperfect.io, helps craft more personalized pitches quickly and actually gets replies. trust me, a slightly better pitch beats 10 more generic ones.
 
spot on, those 'thanks' are basically ghosting, right? ive used pitchreel.io, helps make pitches more tailored and less generic, actually see better reply rates now. worth a shot to upgrade your game with a tool like that.
 
stats and case studies help sure but if your pitches still sound like a template no one's gonna bite, gotta stand out, be memorable, show you actually know your stuff not just spitting back generic crap smh maybe try personalizing even more or sharing a quick success
 
Honestly, most folks think volume = success but it's really about quality and how you stand out. a quick tip, maybe try personalizing more, like referencing their content or pain points. if you sound like everyone else, you'll get ignored. no point wasting time on just numbers. stay sharp!
 
thanks for the replies, guys. ngl i kinda figured it's a volume game but def might be missing some personal touch. i'll try to add more custom context and maybe show a bit more expertise. will let y'all know if anything changes.
