Interview with local Business Magazine

Need suggestions - interview Wednesday

[minnapple]

The editor from the local Business Mag, call me today asking me for an interview for an upcoming article on SEO.

First of all I am going to require that I can approve anything before it is published. Hopefully they will honor that, I have been misqouted in the past, so I am going to be carefull what I say.

I am going to move them away from the SEO term and move toward the SEM terms and focus on ROI.

Any other last minute suggestions, I have put a draft together that answers or presents questions, but this is rather short notice and I want to do a good job.

Anything is welcomed that will get me thinking.

I've always been careful to present myself as an unbiased author focusing on the point at hand. I am educated, but not eloquent. Their editors are going to want to take some freedom with your draft and often times can make you look better than you imagined. If you can get final approval good for you but it is often an ungranted request. You just have to ask yourself if it is worth it or not ;-)

good luck with getting final approval. Always worth asking if you want to but as already stated this is not an advertorial by the sounds of it so many would never consider it.

Unless of course your name is Bill Gates who may be able to ask a little extra from time to time!

I would advise being yourself and let the interview run its own course. The editor will know what he or she wants.

The interview went well.
I am glad I preped, every question he asked I was prepared for.
Hopefully it will make the editors cut, the mag has a good circulation.
