Manual Backlink Outreach Specialist (Wedding / Lifestyle / DIY)

ABOUT THE PROJECT: We run Wedding business, a digital wedding stationery marketplace serving US couples. Our differentiator is a free in-browser editor that lets couples customize and preview templates before they buy — so we have a genuinely useful product to pitch, not just a link request. We're growing our backlink profile through manual, white-hat outreach and need an experienced specialist to both find high-quality opportunities and run the outreach end to end. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Prospect high-authority, niche-relevant websites — wedding blogs, DIY/craft, lifestyle, paper/stationery, and wedding-planning publications - Vet prospects for genuine topical relevance and real organic traffic (not just a high DR number) - Work from a target list we provide AND build your own prospect lists - Find the correct editorial / partnerships / submissions contact (not generic info@ inboxes) - Write and send personalized, non-spammy outreach — angles include resource-page inclusion, broken-link replacement, guest contributions, partner features, and exclusive freebie placements - Manage follow-up sequences and keep everything tracked in a shared sheet - Coordinate with us on angles, and use our ready-made template visuals / freebie assets in pitches REQUIREMENTS: - Proven link-building, digital PR, or blogger-outreach track record — please share examples of links you've actually earned - Manual, white-hat only. No PBNs, link farms, paid-link networks, comment spam, or mass blast tools - Native-level written English and a warm, professional outreach voice - Comfortable with Ahrefs and/or Semrush for prospecting and qualification (we can share access) - Organized and reliable with trackers / outreach CRMs NICE TO HAVE: - Existing relationships with wedding or lifestyle editors - Experience in wedding, home, lifestyle, or DIY niches - Solid grasp of anchor-text strategy and link relevance for SEO TO APPLY — PLEASE DO THIS OR YOUR PROPOSAL WILL BE SKIPPED: 1. Start your proposal with the word "BOUQUET" so I know you read this. 2. Name 2-3 specific wedding or lifestyle sites you'd target for us, and one sentence on the angle you'd use for each. 3. Share 2-3 examples of backlinks you've personally secured (live URLs preferred).
