Hi Ghada,

Best and simplest way- Google them. Do they have a community? Are they walking their talk?

Hey Bob,

Thanks so much. We do multiple things. List of social media services here: http://clicktoclient.com/marketing-services/social-media-marketing/

Hi Sandie,

The key is to find a blogger that is relevant to YOUR community. You may be trying to reach mom’s of toddlers, so your ideal blogger would be a mom who already writes for that audience. You can use Twitter, FB, and Google to find these folks.

Hi Dylan,

The key here is to find a sponsor that could BENEFIT from your work. So, let’s say that you want to do a show on a certain software. You maybe able to find a hardware producer who sells their hardware with that software built in. Brainstorm a list of companies who would benefit from you talking about that subject matter. Then, approach them with a win-win.

Hi Steve,

Great question!

Yes, this is where you support someone who already has a community. Think Oprah. Why do companies fall OVER themselves to give her stuff. B/c she has a community that will do she wants them to do. If you don’t have time to build a community and get involved-find someone who does and support them.

Let me make sure I am understanding this, since I am a little slow in processing at times. So is this kind of like a joint venture? They get exposure and your company gets exporsure?

Shama, great tip. Wondering how one learns who are the trusted bloggers in the country. Is there an index or directory where they are all listed??

Shama – any tips on how to get the word out that you are looking for a sponser? Dont think I am very well known in the ASP.NEt community but I am a little in the DNN community whats a tactful way to ask for a sponsership without being pushy?
