I really do appreciate the kind words! I try to delve into what I consider are some of the more important aspects of the people I interview. It works out most of the time, ha!
Well, originally I was a partner in a site called myNetSpot.org, which was a social networking site. We had interviews that we would host on the front page of the site (with a lot of the interviews being focused on certain members of the site). Within myNetSpot.org, I ran myNetSpot MMA and myNetSpot Comic Books, and usually interviewed professional mixed martial artists & comic book writers/artists.
The site is now offline, but I still do the interviews since I have a decent reader base who got used to the interviews showing up online every now & then. I currently run MySpace MMA over on that site, and different fighters/fans always stop by to read the interviews.
I don't have any set way of how I get ahold of people to interview, it just depends sometimes. Every once in awhile I get people who hit me up so they can let their fans/friends know what's happening in their career, but mostly I just contact individuals who seem like they would enjoy doing an interview.
