Can I Interview You for My Blog?
If you’re interested in growing your blog, “Can I interview you?” is one of the best questions you can ask. Here’s why.
Think about how it would make you feel if someone asked you if they could interview you? That would be pretty cool, wouldn’t it? It would make you feel pretty good, and you’d almost certainly agree. Plus, you’d meet someone interesting and build a connection with them. That’s the first benefit.
The second benefit is that you get some great content for your blog. The interview is a great article format, and it’s very easy to do. You just have to make sure you’re asking questions that your readers will want to read the answers to!
Finally, there’s a very good chance that the person you interview will link back to you from their own blog. That could mean a flood of new traffic, especially if you’re a new blog.
So get out there today and find someone to interview!

Great idea! I’m going to set a goal this next week to interview 2 of my colleagues. They are SEOers I look up to and talk with frequently. Not only is this great for business relationship building, but it’s also a great way to add quality content to your site. Like you said, the key to a great interview is to ask the right questions – find out things that will be valuable to your readers.
I’ll let you know how it goes and make posts on my blog.

No. That question actually never works.
Just kidding! Of course you can. Just let me know when you’d like to do it.
