Discover a New Blogger Week: August 9-15


Bullseye!

I'm inviting my fellow public relations brethren to go outside their current blogger "line-up" and reach out to bloggers they have never worked with during the week of August 9-15.

Sometimes it's easy to keep going back to those you know already...afterall, it's all about relationships, right?  So let's take one week to collectively go outside of our comfort zone and engage a blogger we've never come in contact with.  By doing so we open the door to a new relationship, exposure to new communities for our clients, and on a personal level, some entertaining and fresh content.

Bloggers, are you game to be contacted that week?  Even if it's a cold call or email to make an introduction and to find out more about you, your blog, and what makes you tick?

If you are, please leave your name, your blog url, what you're passionate about when it comes to blogging, a fact about you we might find surprising and...if you care to...your contact information (alternatively let us know if we can find that contact info on your blog...we don't mind having to look for it there).

This is a great initiative and also a very proactive approach to discovering new relationships that you never thought was there. It will also give new bloggers a chance to be discovered and to prove their worth. I'm glad that you see a possibly rich opportunity that may just benefit both ways. I know you tweeted about this the other day and I'm sure there are a lot of us out there waiting to hear from you and the rest of the great PR peeps!
