How to Make Bloggers Angry in 10 (+1) Steps
Denise writes 10 Things That Make Bloggers Angry when pitching them – as someone who gets pitched a lot of ideas I’d recommend it as essential reading for marketers wanting to interact with bloggers.
In the same vein of #1 (Not spelling the blogger’s name right) I’d add an 11th suggestion.
‘don’t put another blogger’s name on the email’.
I’m amazed how many people send me emails with other bloggers names on them – it screams ‘cut and paste’ emailing.
