Research your target, and reach out to them.
Do a lot of research on them before you reach out. This will prove that you are extremely familiar with who they are and what they value. I prefer reaching out to people with a large online presence, because so much of who they are and what they’re working on is available to me through a quick Google search. I’ll often spend hours researching someone before I email him or her.
Now you have your target picked. They’re working on a project that you are interested in, and you’ve done your research. You know you can benefit them in a big way…
