me: Light headed?
Nancy: I stoopped and bought a pepsi! LOL
me: Oh. Your reward for being trying to be healthy?
Nancy: Think of it as a cigar.  |
| How to Ask to be a Guest Blogger: and Fail Posted: 11 Nov 2010 08:13 AM PST I got this request from a person who asked to be a guest blogger. I’ve never been asked before by someone who wanted to write something to appear here. If this is SOP for guest blogger pitches, I hope I don’t get asked again. My name is Barbara [redacted] and my blogging at [rejected], [rebuffed], [refused], and elsewhere on the progressive political and health blogophere has earned me the notoriety of being a panelist at the Yearly Kos Convention and a featured guest blogger at the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC. I'm contacting you because I found your blog in a health care site search and wanted to reach out to you to tell you about my newest blogging platform —the public concern of healthcare and its relation to the baby boomer and those over the age of 40. My main goal is to increase awareness on these important issues, and I was hoping you could help me. I am interested in providing you a guest post to be placed, but I realize this may not be a viable option. I am also willing to inquire about link opportunities. I hope to hear back from you soon.
My response: Nope.
Might have considered it if you hadn’t been so braggy about yourownself.
You obviously couldn’t take the time to even read some of the headlines of my posts and know nothing about me or my writing.
Bye,
Mark
Remember: if you want to be a guest blogger at GoingLikeSixty.com, in the immortal words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy… ask what you can do for me? Not what I can do for you.  |
