How to Contact Bloggers

Last Updated: May 6, 2021

So you stumbled across an interesting page on Blogger, Tumblr or WordPress. Their words captivated you- you really liked what they had to say: maybe they were funny and entertaining, or it seems that you have something in common. But now, you'd like to get in touch, but aren't sure how. Look no further. This article will tell you how to contact a blogger of your choice.

Steps

1
Leave a comment. It's a pretty simple thing to do, given that you don't even need any kind of account to do so. You have the option of appearing as anonymous, or using a variety of different accounts that you may already have. It takes all of two seconds to do, it's convenient and a great starting point.
2
Look at the page. Most blogs will display a series of pages at the top of the home page. Often you can find one which will say "Contact Me" or something similar, or perhaps even an "About" page.
3
Open the contact page and look through it. Most bloggers have an account on Twitter which is a good way to get in contact, especially to start with.
4
If it's a Tumblr blog, getting in touch is pretty straight forward- just send them an inbox! All you have to do is enter their URL with /ask at the end- simple!
5
If there's not an obvious contact page, things are a bit trickier. You can try entering their blog's title into Twitter if they don't link to it; or if you have their name, you could also try searching it on Twitter or Facebook. Be warned, however, that this won't necessarily work.
6
Some blogs come complete with a profile page - Blogger pages do. You could try going onto their profile and checking for an email address, or an account on another site. You can easily find it on their home page, typically in a sidebar, and any information they've made available to the general public is easy to find.

Warnings

Be careful. Remember that you most likely do not know the blogger personally and, if this is the case, that you should not give them your personal information.

Also respect their privacy. They are people too and have their own personal lives. If they do not have their contact information somewhere readily accessible, you should respect their decision and not go overboard trying to get their information, as it is likely that, for whatever reason, they are not interested in contact or giving out their personal details- in which case, it's better to just stick to talking to people you do know well.

Don't go to the extreme just to get a reply. If you leave a few comments and a tweet for them with no response, it's best to just leave it alone. If you're suddenly bombarding them with emails and tweets and friend requests on Facebook, they are likely to get freaked out and, obviously, are very unlikely to respond to you.

Thanks!
