As to the process, I would get some kind of commitment or agreement before I blasted out a set of questions. But, as Mayra Ruiz shows us, sometimes all you have to do is ask (see her entry about how she brought Dave Evans to DC: <a href="http://www.mayraruiz.com/home/2009/3/1/why-social-media-marketer-dave-evans-matters-to-me-and-why-h.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mayraruiz.com/home/2009/3/1/why-soci...</a> ) Mike — as I noted in the entry, some people even prefer e-mail interviews (since both sides have a record of the conversation — can't accuse anyone of misquoting you).

I know I would be more comfortable doing an interview in the written form such as email. Is it a norm to do that? I am thinking of asking someone with a reputation, and am not sure whether sending a list of questions in the mail would be taken as professional/polite. Could you please elaborate on that. Appreciate your help. Thanks for a helpful post. I know I would be more comfortable doing an interview in the written form such as email. Is it a norm to do that?

Bates Mon, 26 Jan 2009 23:36:10 +0000 http://blog.networksolutions.com/?p=516#comment-2992 Thanks so much. I am planning on incorporating interviews into my blog this year and have been reading articles on how to do it effectively. I especially appreciate the insight into recording phone interviews. I've had a couple of folks insist on phone interviews which is always a challenge from a technical aspect. Good stuff and timely. =) Thanks so much.
