* What is Get Them Blogging?
Get Them Blogging is a categorical database for the PR industry. It lists blogs and bloggers who are interested in reviewing new products and services on their blogs.
* What does PR stand for?
PR stands for public relations. PR and marketing people are the ones who put together campaigns to sell products and services. If you see the host of your favorite morning show interviewing an actress about her new movie or doing a story on a great new cleaning supply, somebody's PR machine got that story on there.
* Why would a PR person care about my blog?
Savvy marketing people are learning that blogs are an easy way to get their products and services into the hands of their target audience. It's a great way to get feedback, to create word-of-mouth buzz, or to improve their site's page rank with search engines.
* How do PR people contact me?
When you add your blog listing or blogger profile to the database there will be a link at the bottom that says "write to author." If a PR person wants to include you in his or her blog campaign, they will send you a private message through our system. If you asked our system to email you when you receive a new private message when you created your account, you'll get a notification email. If you're interested in reviewing the product or service, can reply via private message with your contact information.
* How do I let them know I'm not interested?
You don't need to do a thing. PR people will only have your contact information if you give it to them.
* How will PR people send me their stuff?
If you are interested in reviewing something then you will need to share your contact info -- likely your name and address -- with them. Again, you do NOT need to share your contact info with Get Them Blogging! staff and you do not need to share it with any PR person with whom you are not interested in working.
