How to Pitch a ‘Noah’ or Bloggers in General part 2

I wrote a post on how to pitch a blogger and recently I got pitched to meet someone that was so great I had to post it for everyone.

Subject Line: Insert Flattery Here

Body:

Noah,

Honestly, I am a big fan of your site, it has been part of the three or four blogs I check daily for the last couple months. I really like the way you have specific themes for Tuesdays, Thursday, and Friday.

From what I can gather from your blog you have quite a bit of experience and expertise in technology and web based businesses, a love for burritos, and you play tennis.

I am looking for your opinion on a project I am working on. Here is what I am thinking, we play a tennis match and if I win we sit down for a while and I throw a couple ideas at you, you win I buy you a $50.00 gift certificate to the burrito shop of your choice. I will let you pick the length of match ,place (I live in Walnut Creek), date and time.

It seems to me you will either:

1) sack up and play me
2) read, and delete with a smirk
3) tell me you are too busy to play tennis but are open to me e-mailing you a short synopsis on my project.

Either way I appreciate your time.

Thanks,

Zach E

[Noah's Note: Damn that was good! Yes, we played tennis 2 weeks ago and Zach and I are now bff]

You’re only BFFs if each of you have one half of a pendant.

You are only BFFs if you have spooned, did you?
Obviously he headed your advice from awhile back and made the intro more about you than him, very nice. Looks like the master has taught another grasshopper

I get taught aka “served” all day long. I love learning more than educating. Actually I like both. I love the ah-ha moments when someone says something and you can go use it right away.

PS. We definitely spooned.

Spooned on the first date? I am a little jealous considering we had quality time together last week

dude, i haven’t gotten spooning in all the years of ideas, burritos, and tennis sessions noah and i have shared. and i think okdork actually started as a dating site, but the whole dork thing ended up attracting the wrong kind of readers.
i think i just called myself a dork?
