As a blogger, if you wanted to interview someone for your blog, how would you go about doing it? Is there some sort of posting board that connects interviewers and interviewees, or would you go out and contact a specific individual directly? I am trying to spread the word about my business and I think being interviewed on related blogs would be very helpful. I just don't know how to go about facilitating this....
I think approaching the individual blogs you'd like to target with a well-written, personalized request explaining what you'd like to say and how you think it would be interesting for their readers..etc. is the best idea. If you take a little time to prove you aren't just sending out a generic request to a ton of blogs, I think there's a very good change they'd listen. As far as an organized posting board, the best I can think of is Blogging forums with some sort of "Content exchange" kind of sub-forum. But I think it's much better to go directly to the blogs. I interview a lot of people on my blog and I've always corresponded directly, although I met some of my interviewees on places like BlogCatalog and Bloggeries forums.
great first interview. Its great to get to know more of the Joomla community. The hundreds and thousands of us around the world
I think approaching directly should be the best way to get in touch with other bloggers. Tell them that since they are successful in what they are doing, your readers will learn a lot from the interviewee's experiences. Then you can do a tele-conference or an email interview. Cheers.
