Interested in learning Social Media strategies or to improve your copywriting or blogging skills? Have questions? We’re waiting to hear from you!
HOW TO CONTACT GAIL
The most effective ways to contact Gail is (in order of effectiveness):
- Skype: GrowMap – best way to make sure I see it and so you know the status of your request. I’m the only GrowMap there.
- MSN, AOL or Yahoo Chat – you can reach me on Yahoo Messenger at growmap@ymail.com – IMPORTANT I do NOT use that email address for email – only for chat and logging into Yahoo.
- Use the contact form below because what you submit there is flagged for greater visibility and less likely to be deleted by a spam filter.
- Phone (469) 735-2108 CST – afternoons are best
- @GrowMap on Twitter – if you DM send a regular tweet to let me know to go find your DM. (And if you know a good way to block auto-DMS I want to hear from you!)
- Email is currently problematic. If you email to growmap at this domain, please follow up by Skype or Twitter or phone. You can also use the contact form below as those get flagged and I am more likely to see them. If you prefer send a regular email and just let me know you did using one of these other methods. I get far too much email and find a large percentage of emails never get delivered. See Closed Loop Communications.
BLOG OUTREACH ~ BLOGGER OUTREACH:
Are you a business interested in having bloggers write about and recommend you? Does your business currently appear on the first page of the search engine results for your best keyword phrases (or do you not even know how someone would be searching for you)?
Would you like to collaborate with influential bloggers in your niche who already have high quality blogs and influence on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, etc. and influence in blogs related to your business?
You’ve come to the right place. For years we have been connecting with the very best bloggers and working together to support each other’s content and efforts. What we do can now benefit your small local or online business too. Contact me using the form on this page for more details. There ARE bloggers willing to work with you regardless of your current available budget.
For more information on Blogger Outreach including Types of Blog Outreach Programs see Blog Outreach Services. For rates see the Hire GrowMap tab.
GUEST POST REQUESTS:
REQUIRED: When you request to guest post
you MUST provide these three things:
- Proposed topic and/or post titles
- Links to examples of existing published work
- What sites, if any, you wish to link to in your post. Links ARE permitted, but we need to know in advance about any primary links you desire because that will save us both time if they land on a site we are not willing to have linked from GrowMap.
Due to the volume of guest post requests we receive, any that do not include the above three specific pieces of information will be ignored.
Yes, we love guest posts! Whether you are already one of our regular collaborators or you just found us, do contact us about publishing your guest post or writing a post for you. Our preferred method is to provide you with author access on this and other blogs we manage and have you create your post directly in the blog. This way you can better optimize how your post appears and add images.
Be sure to include links to your blog and/or content you
have written with your request to submit guest post(s).
We DO NOT limit links to one or two – we LOVE links. Please do add links to any related posts you have written or recommend that add additional information to the post and link to those you write about and recommend. Feel free to add mouseover text to any and all links. Do please include at least one link each to your blog, your Twitter account, and to any other significant source of information you wish to share so that our readers can more easily find out more about you.
If you offer a product or service, DO mention it in your bio information at the end of your post or in the introduction at the beginning of your post. (You can write the intro or I will write one for you.) If you wish to write a post about your business or service, contact me first to discuss how that information might most interest our readers.
Are you interested in higher visibility? No problem; we have a process for that that starts with an interview about you or your business on MurrayNewlands’ Marketing Blog , a post on GrowMap all about you, and supporting posts on additional marketing and niche related blogs. Contact me for further details.
Please limit comments on this page to any issue related to contacting us, guest blogging or blog outreach / blogger outreach. Thank you.
In case you prefer not to use the options listed above, please send us your thoughts using the following form:

Hi May,
If there is anything in particular you want to know, just leave me a comment. I may already have posts about it I can share or I can get posts written that answer your questions.
Hi,
I’d really like to contribute to your website. Can you please tell me if printing related article is suitable to you?
My article will focus on ‘Use of offline sources (business cards, stickers etc) to promote a business/website’. As GrowMap aims at expansion of businesses so It think my post will be very much relevant.
Are such topics acceptable to you?
Thanks!

Hello Jawad,
I regularly recommend that businesses use offline printed materials and signage. See the information about guest posting on this page. Skype is the fastest way to reach me. If you don’t use Skype email me and if you use Twitter send a regular tweet to @GrowMap letting me know to look for it. I get so much email that it can easily be missed.

Hey Gail,
Awhile back you used to offer consulting services for local maps. This was even back before it was google plus local. I can’t seem to find that information on your blog though. It has been awhile since I have been here. Are you still heavily working in local, or has your focus shifted a little to helping companies partner with niche bloggers (which is an excellent idea by the way)

HI Damon,
I got so busy with writing that I unlinked those pages, but I can still assist you if you want to get that done. It is very important. The easy way is to List in Local Directories is to use UBL and then upgrade the most important local directories manually. See that page for details and more links.

Thank you for your inquiry, but we do not publish that type of content here.
Great! Sending an email now. Glad to hear you have such an open policy to guest posts. I love to write (especially on this topic), and it’s hard to get syndicated!

Dear Ms. Gardener,
I am just following to find out whether you had a chance to see my posting from last week. Ana Hoffman of TrafficGenerationCafe whom I follow has suggested that I should contact you. I started a new company, GetUsSocial helping small business discover the next generation of ‘Word of Mouth’ via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn…I don’t consider ourselves as Bloggers although we have a blog that we try to use to provide valuable content to our clients. I’ve been trying to explore some collaboration opportunities but the common theme that I hear my worldwide Alexa ranking being too low which does not surprise me because I am not trying serve worldwide. I don’t even target the whole US. We are primarily working in 10 States and Colorado is our focal point where we have Alexa Ranking of 4000.
Anyways, I apologize for another long post and I hope that you will see this one.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Nezih,
Where was it? This is the first posting of yours I recall ever seeing. I don’t worry about Alexa ratings because everyone starts somewhere and I’m not buying advertising from you.
The best way to connect with me is on Skype or Yahoo! Instant Messenger (both free). The next best way is by sending a regular tweet to @GrowMap. (If you DM please send a tweet letting me know to go look.)
If you don’t have Skype or Yahoo! we can also use the chat functions in Facebook or Google + so just let me know when you’re about and we’ll connect. I keep strange hours so I can connect with people all over the world so I’m sure we can find a time to “meet” online.

I am on Mountain Standard Time (Vail, Colorado) and usually work between 7:00am -10:30pm MST. I’m all wired and I’ll not miss any message…
Hope to connect with you.
Thank you

The best way to reach me is on Skype. I’m the only GrowMap there. Or you can reach me on Yahoo Messenger. The second best is to send a regular tweet to @GrowMap.
