Three interviews with little me, what is the world coming to? 
I have started enjoying being interviewed lately, I think I am starting to be more relaxed and not stumble over my words quite so much. If you want to interview me feel free to ask, if you have interesting questions I will most likely be up for it.
- Email interview by Misha Degtyarev about how I got into blogging and my approach
- Audio interview at Jenerous about Killer Flagship Content, web2.0 and online business
- I was also interviewed by Sean D’Souza for the benefit of 5000bc.com subscribers, Sean promises the audio and transcription will be online as soon as the bugs are fixed
Chris Garrett is here to help you and your business attract an engaged audience of people who grow to know, like and trust you.

Ha, that is the first time anyone has said I sound like I am from Liverpool. Usually scotland is peoples first guess. Actually my accent is the other side of the country, Ringo was North-West, my accent is Yorkshire, the other side of the Pennines.

I really enjoyed both interviews. Great to hear your voice for the first time.
I agree with you about the hype of blogging – as you mention in the Jenerous interview. What’s important isn’t traffic – it’s people, it’s readership. Of course, we need need to increase people coming to our sites to increase the number of people reading our sites. I’m in it for the conversation and relationship. Focusing on conversation has slowing increased my business.

Thanks Dawud
By focusing on people, and addressing what they want and need, you can increase the number of people you serve. If people on the other hand focus on “traffic” they tend towards “tricks” or “schemes” and ultimately lose sight of what their venture is all about.

Ooh, good point. If you have any integrity at all, it’s hard to consider using tricks on people. Much easier to consider using tricks on ‘traffic.’
I certainly agree…the more we humanize the web, our blogs, our businesses, the clearer our focus can be on serving the needs of people. I’ve built three businesses that way. Focus on what people need, take care of their needs; solve their problems, and you’ll find great success. I know it’s a bit more complex than that. Yet most things are.
