Luckily, I was writing in personal finance for a few years before I joined Mint so I knew most of them. Some of them included Ramit at http://iwillteachyoutoberich.com http://iwillteachyoutoberich.com, Cap from http://stopbuyingcrap.com http://stopbuyingcrap.com and Jim at http://bargaineering.com http://bargaineering.com to name a few.
We just went and interviewed the guys above or asked thme for guest posts. You have to think how to serve their interests (traffic / exposure / relationships with a potentially cool company).
Yea, the Mint blog.
- rubeng 16y agoWe just went and interviewed the guys above or asked thme for guest posts. You have to think how to serve their interests (traffic / exposure / relationships with a potentially cool company). That totally makes sense. But if this is early in Mint's history then what's the benefit for them? I'm assuming it's not traffic or exposure since they already have it, right? This is a situation that applies to a lot of startups. What do they have to offer early on?
- noahkagan 16y agoEveryone will do an interview. They want the links and possibly free traffic for minimal work. It did help that I personally knew them. Once you get interviewed, you are pretty likely to promote it if it's a good reference. The issue is most people approach it with generic template emails and crappy questions.
