I’m running a “Social Interview” over the next two weeks and I need your participation to make this a valuable experience for everyone in the community. And you can win prizes by joining in!
What is a Social Interview?
The Social Interview is a community Q&A session and runs like this:
- Stage 1: collect questions from the community and create a list of the best and most interesting ones.
- Stage 2: publish the questions in a blog post and let the community submit their answers via comments, the contact form, and Twitter (whichever they prefer).
- Stage 3: publish the best and most interesting answers to the questions in a blog post for everyone to read and enjoy.
We should see some really interesting questions and answers come out of such a diverse online community!
Submit your questions and get the chance to win a great prize
You can join in simply by submitting a question on the topics of:
- Blogging/writing
- WordPress
- Social media/networking
- Twitter/microblogging
- Online marketing/promotion
or anything else web-related.
You can submit questions by:
- posting a comment below on this blog post
- sending them in via my contact form
- sending them to me on Twitter (@PaulCunningham)
Every question submitted goes into the prize draw.
If you don’t have a question you can still go into the draw just by writing a blog post about the Social Interview and linking to this post.
The deadline for stage 1 is 8pm Sunday 25th January AEST (GMT+10:00).
What can you win by joining in?
Glenn Murray from Divine Write has kindly donated a copy of his SEO Secrets ebook as the prize for one lucky winner of this stage of the social interview. SEO Secrets is the do-it-yourself guide to topping Google and is where Glenn shares the tips and techniques that got him ranking #1 on Google.
Stay tuned for stage 2 of the Social Interview
Stage 2 will include more great prizes that you can win just by joining in on the Social Interview.
I’ll post updates to Twitter or you can subscribe to my RSS feed so you don’t miss out on the next stage. Don’t forget to tell your own blog readers and Twitter friends about it so that we can have as many people involved as possible.

Hi,
I want to ask that should I chose SEO or Online Marketing as a career?
I mean, I know SEO/SEM but I am afraid that whether it will earn me something or not..
Will you please tell me that what should I do?

Hi!
My questions:
How do you maximize your effectiveness on Twitter? Do you focus on particular times of day, or tweet throughout your day?
How much time do you spend gathering information to tweet and what methodology is your preference?
Do you even bother trying to address controversies or misperceptions when they come up on Twitter?
Also, I second Julie Hood’s (#3′s) questions!
What are your top 3 suggestions for getting started/organized on twitter?
How do you position yourself as an expert in your field on Twitter without appearing like a one-dimensional product pusher?
How do you choose a Wordpress theme for a personal blog?
Just curious if you have extended the deadline. @chrisbrogan referred me to the site – and I’d be interested in blogging about this.
thanks!
@debworks

And how do you manage running several blogs at once – i have ideas for a couple fo blog projects but don’t seem to have the time to get them get them off the ground.
On the same note, what is the best way to find a blogging partner?
