If you do enough interviews people will start to write you asking if you would be willing to do the same for their blog and all that jazz. I’ve actually done a few articles for art magazines because they were aware of my interview series.

The important thing is to not just go after the really big names. For example, I have posted my interviews with artists like Michael Craig-Martin, James Rosenquist, and Vito Acconci but I also interview artists who are just starting out. In my case, emerging artists are more likely to post links to the interview on several sites and to use the interview as part of their marketing strategy.

Interviews are enjoyable to read because most blogs tend to repeat the same information you can find on other blogs dealing with the same subject. The majority simply alter AP content. Thus, interviews give you unique content to post. They also give you ideas for original content to write about. We keep a list of my interviews at http://www.myartspace.com/interviews if you are interested.

@Mark Dykeman: you bet - it was a good interview you did with Shana.

@Will: computational journalism sounds interesting, can you elaborate? And yes, bloggers help each other.
Bloggers support each other through information exchange and all sorts of critique.

@Jack: Yes, get back into interviewing, it is the way to go.

@Glen: you asked for an interview, and now you got it

@Paul: drop me a line, we can talk about it.

@Mark: you bet - you had a good interview there with Darren. Happy reading!

Look me up, I’d love to chat.

Oh yeah and the site I’m working on: http://www.arkayne.com

So true, I’ve interviewed Aaron Wall, Lee Odden, Shawn Hogan (Digitalpoint) and Donna Fontenot (SEO-Scoop) and they have all had a good response
