In an interview conducted at SES 2013 in San Francisco, Lucy Bartlett of VigLink leads a discussion about guest blogging.
In addition to being the Marketing Manager at VigLink, Lucy is also a PhD candidate at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. She is an experienced research and marketing consultant, advising entities who strive to define themselves in the ethical-consumption industry.
I began the interview by asking Lucy about the state of guest blogging. A lot has changed and Lucy will help get you up to speed in this video:
Here are the key takeaways from the video:
- Lucy says she finds guest bloggers by attending events and approaching knowledgeable people at the events about writing a post for her blog.
- Lucy also suggests approaching established writers about writing a guest post for your blog. If there’s a writer you follow who regularly produces interesting content, build a connection and ask them to contribute a post.
- Lucy says chasing down guest bloggers to follow through with their posts is unavoidable. Setting firm deadlines is the best way to get your content delivered on time.
If you have any questions after watching the video, for either myself or Lucy, ask them in the comments section and we will do our best to respond to everyone! Please visit SEJ’s YouTube page for more video interviews from #SESSF 2013.
