So you also know there is close to nothing you wouldn’t do to get your startup up and running.

Blogger outreach often receives bad press due to the bad practices of those doing it. Well, it's time to highlight some people who get it right.

10 Top Tips for How to Pitch a Blogger Effectively

March 20, 2014 by Hugh Anderson 10 Comments

I'll be up front about this, Inkybee crossed a line this week: where they're publicly available, we're now showing the email addresses of bloggers to Inkybee users. We avoided this from the outset, but now our users can happily drop these addresses into their mail merge tools and spam the bloggers. Ouch! Well, that's an approach that we actively discourage as we educate and encourage our users to pitch bloggers in a personal, ethical manner. So why did we do it? The simple answer is … [Read more...]

Toronto unmasked via the blogosphere

November 19, 2013 by Inkybee 2 Comments

As some of you will know, we've been asking the good folk of Toronto to help us to create a very large list of all of the blogs in their fair city. So, how useful is a great big list of blogs? We think it's much more useful if it has the ability to 'self-organise' around themes or topics that you might be interested in. More specifically, how can you segment a very large list of blogs so that you can find what you're interested in? Happily, we've developed such a mechanism within Inkybee … [Read more...]
