1	# Distribute Outreach
2
3	Finds writers, journalists, and bloggers likely to reference a new post's key claim. Generates personalized pitches and appends new contacts to the outreach CRM file.
4
5	---
6
7	## Inputs Required
8
9	Ask the user for:
10	- Post slug
11	- Post title
12	- Post URL
13	- Key claim — 1–2 sentences: the most specific, data-backed claim in the post
14

16
17	## Workflow
18
19	### Step 1: Derive Search Queries
20
21	Read the CONFIG.md universal targets. Then extract post-specific angles from the post URL/title/claim to generate 2–3 narrower queries.
22
23	Merge both layers — post-specific queries take priority.
24
25	### Step 2: Find Contacts
26
27	Prioritize in this order:
28
29	Tier 1 — Newsletter writers (highest ROI)
30	- Substack writers covering `{OUTREACH_TOPICS}` + post-specific angle
31	- Search: `{OUTREACH_SUBSTACK_QUERIES}` + post-specific queries
32	- Target: writers with 1K–50K subscribers
33
34	Tier 2 — Journalists and staff writers
35	- Reporters at publications listed in `OUTREACH_PUBLICATIONS`
36	- Find bylines covering the post's specific topic area
37
38	Tier 3 — Bloggers and independent researchers
39	- Personal blogs cited in your topic's research circles
40	- LinkedIn thought leaders in the space
41
42	Searches to run:
43	```
44	web_search: "[post-specific claim or topic] site:substack.com"
45	web_search: "[universal topic from OUTREACH_TOPICS] site:substack.com"
46	web_search: "[post-specific claim exact phrase]" site:medium.com
47	web_search: "[specific claim from post]" -site:reddit.com
48	```
49
50	For each result, extract: writer name, publication, URL of a relevant piece, contact method.
51
52	### Step 3: Dedup Against Existing Contacts
53
54	Before adding any contact, read `{OUTREACH_CONTACTS_PATH}`. Skip any name or publication URL already present regardless of status.
55
56	### Step 4: Generate Pitches
57
58	One personalized 3-sentence pitch per contact:
59
60	```
61	Sentence 1: Reference their specific piece by name — show you read it.
62	Sentence 2: Lead with your key claim and the specific data point that supports it.
63	Sentence 3: Offer the URL as a potential source — no ask for anything in return.
64	```
65
66	Never: "I thought you might be interested in...", promotional openers, mass-template language.
67
68	### Step 5: Update Outreach Contacts File
69
70	Append each new contact to `{OUTREACH_CONTACTS_PATH}`:
71
72	```markdown
73	\| [Name] \| [Publication] \| [Their Article URL] \| [Contact method] \| [Post slug] \| [Date added] \| New \|
74	```
75
76	Status values: `New` → `Pitched` → `Responded` → `Linked` → `Declined`
77
78	If the file doesn't exist, create it with header:
79	```markdown
80	# Outreach Contacts
81
82	\| Name \| Publication \| Their Article \| Contact \| Post \| Date Added \| Status \|
83	\|------\|-------------\|---------------\|---------\|------\|------------\|--------\|
84	```
85
86	---
87
88	## Output
89
90	```
91	## Outreach — [Post Title] — [Date]
92
93	- [N] new contacts added to [OUTREACH_CONTACTS_PATH]
94	- [N] pitches drafted
95
96	### New Contacts
97	\| Name \| Publication \| Contact \| Pitch \|
98	\|------\|-------------\|---------\|-------\|
99	\| ... \| ... \| ... \| ... \|
100	```
101
102	Minimum 5 new contacts per run, target 10–15.
