Step 1: Pick one of your favorite categories and make a quick list of top 5-10 influencers in that category. Write that and save it we will do more on that later.

Step 2: Think of people you may know in any of these categories, someone you would love to share with the world. They should also be an influencer, with followers. Write and save this list.

Now you have two lists!

List #1 : Worldwide influencers in your favorite category.

List #2 : People who you want to highlight that you are already connected to.

Step 3: Track down these people however you can and introduce yourself via email or whatever method you like.

Step 4: Email everyone on your lists. The people who respond first get started on contacting them right away.

The goal will be to do one from each list.

“Hi Joselin, I am learning about [permaculture, herbs, etc] and I would really love write an article about you and share your thoughts and advice with the world. Would you be willing to write the answers to 5 questions (like a email interview!) about [permaculture, herbs, etc]? Thank you!” *Using your words, but you get the idea!

Step 5: When you get the answers you will write the article on word or in an email with an opening paragraph, answers, and a closing. But keep the opening to one paragraph so that each article is similar in that format from every author we have. The conclusion can be as long as you like, be creative and remember simple is good too! Pictures and video links are great additions. Please attach pictures to the email you send to us.

It will be necessary to have one picture of the person, hopefully something you can see their face and some pictures of their projects. More pictures the better! Video links are great!

Last Step: Email us at info [at] proplanetpeople [dot] com or fill out the form below.

Included writing intro, answered questions pasted in, conclusion.

Included media: headshot of the person and some pictures of projects. Label in your article where you want the pictures.
