LocalsGuide – Interview Template

Here is a quick interview template I worked up to assist in the creation of great interviews.
IT’S SO EASY … That I want to share my formula with you so you can interview all the cool people you know or want to know.

Seriously

Use my technique and help get your friends, neighbors and community role models recognized. Help put the spotlight on them, they deserve it and…this is just to easy for me to do it all myself.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

1. First pick a person you want to interview. ( You will need their email address )
2. Second think up between 10 – 15 questions and email  them to your new found friend.
3. Next, have them fill it out and then send it back to Editor@LocalsGuide.com
4. We then print / post interview on the site – DONE

IMPORTANT TIP: ALWAYS Encourage people to edit, change or modify questions to represent themselves the way they want to be represented. It’s better this way and more interesting. PLUS MAINSTREAM MEDIA SUCKS because they always get the facts wrong.

LET PEOPLE TELL THEIR OWN STORY

OK, So I expect to see a flood of interviews coming through over the next few months.
I will do my best to print and feature as many as I can in print and get all of them online as quick as possible.

HAVE FUN and Interview some Cool People!
– Shields Bialasik

PS: PLEASE DO NOT ASK IF YOUR PIECE WILL BE PRINTED!
Sorry… I will do my best… to get everyone into the spotlight… but for sure it will go online.
