Nice post.

#1 is a great point to start with. Once we got over the initial fear of what bloggers would say we were able to have quite a bit of success.

Thanks for taking the time to share some really helpful information. I’ve begun “listening” to some key reporters in my industry and this will help me work more effectively with them. Great job! – Katie

Great post, Jim! As a newbie blogger, internet marketer, PR blogger, you-name-it, I find it difficult to cut through all the fluff that’s out there to get to the real stuff.

You make it easy!

Good post Jim!
We have had an incredible amount of success with bloggers and you are right on point. Bloggers are people too and our success is due to the building of good solid relationships, transparency and being helpful in providing great on topic information in the area that the blogger writes. We are news junkies many of us have worked both sides of the industry. Thanks for your post!

Excellent advice, Jim. Thanks. Treating bloggers professionally and with as much respect and importance as you do with editors/reporters just makes sense. #10 is so important since the majority of bloggers, even the best ones, don’t make much money doing what they do.

Nice post, Jim! With so much hype around social media and blogging, it can be easy to forget that solid PR tenets like providing valuable content, developing relationships and offering access are considered best practice for a reason: they work. The landscape may continue to change, but smart communication never goes out of style.

Excellent. As a new PR blogger – I launched in November – I found this advice useful to bloggers and spot on in terms of insight into PR best practice.
