You'll want to use the attached worksheet to log information
about the individuals at the organizations you want to be published
by. The trick is getting in contact with them, here are some
tactics I've used:
- Here's the Google technique: Type *@domainname.com into the
search box. So if I'm searching for someone from a blog called
Atlantic City (with a hypothetical domain name of //atlanticcity.com), I would
type in *@atlanticcity.com.
- The WHOIS technique is pretty simple as well: Many new media
entrepreneurs and bloggers purchase their own domain names, so what
ends up happening is their contact information can be found in a
WHOIS database.
- The Gravatar trick: head to
//en.gravatar.com/site/check
and take a guess at the individual's email address. If they
registered their Gravatar account with that email address, their
profile picture will appear.
- Another great tool is Rapportive. See the next task.
