Broken link building is an age-old practice that requires you to find “broken links” a.k.a links that go to 404 pages or no longer work.

Once you find them, you can reach out to webmasters who are linking to them, and see if they will replace their broken link with your helpful, active link!

In short, it sounds simple now but it’s actually a long, tedious process that requires a lot of research, correspondence, and general boredom. It’s not a fun task, for sure.

So, we’re going to show you how to speed it up with NinjaOutreach’s features here!

Can’t figure out how you can send a test email first? No worries, this tutorial will show you exactly how you can do that!

Step 1: Connect your email account first.
The “Send Test Email” feature won’t work unless an active email account is connected first.

You can learn how to integrate your email address here.

Once that’s sorted, click Templates.

Connect your email account first

Then, choose either “Create A Template” or any of our pre-written ones to enter into your Edit Template modal.

create template and pre written template

At the bottom of the Edit Template modal, you’ll find a “Test Email” feature:

test email

To send your test email, enter the email address(es) you want to send to and click “Send”.

You should receive it in your inbox in a couple of seconds.

Now you can see how your email looks like to your recipient before sending them out.

Oops! Did you run into an error? 

The most common reason for an error is…

  1. Your email got disconnected or you didn’t connect an account in the first place.

You can check this in your Settings. Or refer to Step 1 above.

Not that either? Contact our Support for further help.
Our Support Ninjas are dedicated to help you solve your problems; so, don’t hesitate to drop them a message on our Live Chat and they’ll get back to you ASAP.

But hey, we know you’d like some flexibility to flex your writing skills so here is a tutorial on how you can create your own custom templates, fix up some backup custom fields, and adding your own email signature.

Step 1: Create a Custom Template

Hover over the Outreach tab and click Templates

Create a Custom Template

Then click on “Create Template” on the top left corner (green button).

Create Template

Step 2: Use Custom Fields

Go ahead and name your template and fill in the “Subject” and “Body” fields.

Then, make sure you position your cursor where you want to place your custom field and click “Add Custom Field” to choose your preferred field.

If your lead’s full details are available, it will be automatically populated when you use it.

Add custom Field

What the Custom Fields mean:

Contact Info

  • Last Name – The lead’s last name
  • Full Name – The lead’s full name
  • Address – The lead’s address

  • Podcast URL – A URL on the lead’s website we believe is a Podcast
  • Resource Page URL – A URL on the lead’s website we believe is a Resource Page

Step 3: Save

Once you’re done, save your custom template. You can now access it in Outreach Mode.

How To Include An Image In Your Email

There are 2 options to include images:

1. Include image(s) as an attachment

Click on the paperclip icon and then select the image you want to attach.

Include image(s) as an attachment

2. Include image(s) on the email body:

There are 2 ways you can do it:

A. For image(s) found on the web:

Right click on the image, select “Copy Image”, then simply paste it into the body of your email in Templates.

B. Images hosted by a server like WordPress

i. Upload the image on WordPress

ii. Go to the media file

iii. Get the WordPress URL

iv. Open the WordPress URL in a browser

v. Right click on the image and then select “Copy Image”

vi. Paste it into the body of the email

Template Click and Open Rate Tracking

You can see how many times each template has been sent as well as the open and click through rates (as a number or a percentage). You will find this to the right of each template.

Template Click and Open Rate Tracking

All tracking is unique; so, if a lead opens the email twice it will only be counted as one open. Similarly, if a lead clicks multiple links in a template (or a link multiple times), it will also count as only one click. This will give you an accurate way to compare different templates.

For example, you will be able to deduce:

  • Which subject lines are the most effective (highest open rate)
  • Which link placements are getting the most clicks (highest click rate)
  • Which outreach templates are sending the most traffic (highest open rate * highest click rate)

This will allow you to focus on the ones that are delivering the best numbers!

How to Turn Off Click Tracking

You can remove click tracking for each individual template by deselecting “Track URL Click Rate”, or “Track Open Rate” at the bottom of the card.

How to Turn Off Click Tracking

Note: When tracking is on, it will first redirect the link through our servers so receivers might see a flash of app.ninjaoutreach.com before reaching their final destination.

Adding Backups To Custom Fields

Here’s the thing with Custom Fields: sometimes, when you have them and your lead’s details are not available, it will be left blank. Sure, you can leave it at that, but to add some variety, you can include a backup custom field.

For example:

Custom Field: Hi [First Name | there]

Which will either appear like this:

Hi Dave or Hi there (if the lead’s first name is unavailable)

You can play around using the same logic such as: Hi [First Name | There | You],

Which the system will randomly choose between “There” and “You” in the event the custom field is blank.

Finally, you can create variations in sentences using the custom field format, such as: [I was reading your blog | I was checking out your blog]

And the system will randomly display one or the other option during the outreach process. This allows you to add variety to your template sentences and makes it less likely that you will run into spam issues.

How To Include A Signature

To a recipient, your signature plays a crucial role in determining the importance of the email. It helps answers questions like: who sent it? What is their designation? Do I know them? – you get the idea.

Therefore, you’d want to create a unique signature/sign off that represents you and your company, authorizing that you, indeed, are the sender.

How to Create a Signature

To create a signature, go to Templates then click Create Template.

Then, enter your preferred signature text and format it to your liking.

Tip: To remember it easily, type “Signature” as the Template Name and Subject!

How To Include A Signature

To insert links, just highlight the word/phrase then click on the chain icon.

Enter/paste the URL and choose its behaviour (“None” to open in same tab or “New tab”) on the Target dropdown menu.

Click “Ok” to save the link.

How to Add Links to Signature

Once you are satisfied with your signature, hit Save. It will appear on your Templates dashboard.

How to Include My Signature to a Template?

To include your signature in your template for an outreach, you will need to copy your signature from your “Signature” template to the outreach template you are working on.

Here’s how:

Step 1: Open “Signature” in new tab; then, open your outreach template/Create Template in another.

Step 2: Copy your signature from “Signature” tab and paste it into the body of the outreach template.

Step 3: Hit “Save”.

If you want to add an image to your signature, please refer to the section “How To Include An Image In Your Email” of this article and go to number 2 for the steps.

What about CAN-SPAM Compliance?

You can read all about it here: CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business

To ensure your emails are CAN-SPAM compliant, the “Unsubscribe Link” is automatically checked for each template.

[IMAGE]

According to CAN-SPAM, we want to practice the following:

  • Don’t misrepresent who you are
  • Don’t use misleading subject lines
  • Identify if the email is an ad
  • Include your business address
  • Give them an opt-out option
  • Honor opt-outs

The [bold] fields are information about yourself to fill in, whereas the final line contains a link, that, when clicked, will do the following:

  • Take the user to an opt out page (see here)
  • Label them as Do Not Contact in your list (see here)
  • Restrict them from being contact again in NinjaOutreach

Know what others do/send on your behalf!

Do you want to import/export your lists? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

First things first, NinjaOutreach has two kinds of imports:

  • Bulk Website Import – You paste a website link, we crawl them, we package it neatly, and we deliver it to you as a file.
  • CSV Import – You import a CSV, match headers, we don’t crawl them, results are uploaded directly to a list.

Okay, so how do you do them? Let’s run through each of them quickly:

Bulk Website Import

Step 1: Head to the Lists tab and click “Lists of Prospects”.

Step 2: Click “Import” on the top left corner. It’s the Green button.

Bulk Website Import

Step 3: Click on “Websites”

Click on "Websites"

Step 4: Select your preferred list from the dropdown menu. Paste the selected websites into the text box and hit ‘Submit’.

But take it easy – it is limited to 1k per import only.

Website Import

After submitting the websites, it will take our ninjas some time to crawl them and search their pockets before adding them to your list.

When the import is done and ready, we will drop you an email to let you know.

Custom Import

Custom Import

From Import:

Step 1: Select “CSV File”

Step 2: Select your preferred list from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Select “Custom CSV File” if you’d like to import a custom list you’ve created yourself. Our ninjas will read the column headers and ask you to match them to our data.

Note:

  • All fields must be completed
  • If you only want to import emails you can do so using the same method.

If you are importing from tools such as NinjaOutreach, BuzzStream, AuthoritySpy, or MozOSE, simply select the format we’ve provided in Provider Format.

You will not need to match the columns as they have been pre-programmed in our system. (Yay, technology!)

Custom Import

Step 6: Click “Browse” to attach the file you want to import. Then click “Import”.

Note: On rare occasions you will have to change the delimiter from comma to something else. We have seen this with BuzzStream files.

Et voila! Your import is done!

To Export a List

Export leads

Step 1: Head to List and click “Lists of leads”.

Step 2: On the list card, click the “Export” icon at the bottom to export that particular list as a CSV file.

And there you have it, you’re now an Import/Export ninja!

Interviews are a great way to get exposure for both your product and your brand.

It’s the specific time given to you to be promotional and talk about yourself and your products to your heart’s content. Who doesn’t love that green light, right?

Additionally, podcasts specifically don’t require any writing – simply showing up and being yourself for 30-60 minutes, which anyone can do.

Anything for getting you and your brand out there is always great which is why NinjaOutreach is here to help you do just that.
