Moosa: Thank you! Btw. you are the expert #1 in blogger outreach and relationships so your opinion is very important to me on this issue here.

Iain: Yeah, many people meet in real life which is great. I’ve done that locally as well for a time. Then I realized that I like a lot of people across the pond who aren’t as available. Also I’m not traveling as much for personal reasons. Thus I reach out to people I will perhaps never meet.

Ricardo: I’ve written even a longer post on that topic a while back:

Donna: Glad to see you back here, especially as you are a famous book author now! Amazing. Congratulations on this. I wish I was that courageous. Btw. banning Google really feels liberating. You should try it one day as well! I feel like giving up smoking or fast food.

Happy to be an old peer of yours, Tad. And yes, while the big influencers may be really nice people, they don’t have the time to invest in more than a few real relationships. And really, smaller influencers have smaller reach, but their influence can be stronger and deeper.

BTW, read your latest post on banning Google. Good on ya! :)

Thanks for clearing up who our real competitors are. I remember reading somewhere about how traffic is shared, people will often read from more than one source in their area of interest.

I can’t really argue with what you say here. I think that people are drawn to ‘rockstars’ for different reasons – it might be idolatry, it might be recognition of common interests, it might be a belief that it is a valuable thing to do from a business perspective, or perhaps something else.

I think we see a lot of people in this industry connecting on a geographic basis, whether through tweetups (hate that term), local conferences or something in-between. Beyond that I would say there is nothing more valuable than a relationship between ‘equals’. I don’t mean that to suggest people of directly comparable ability or experience, rather people who have an equivalent amount of time and interest one for the other.

There are people in this industry who I know I could drop an email to and get a valuable response at their earliest convenience. That’s more worthwhile to me than getting a tweet from a rockstar telling me they appreciate something I’ve said, or laughing at a quip or caustic comment I’ve delivered. Not that those things are without value. It’s all relative.
