How do I speak to Rand ?

[onlinemediadirect]

Rand Fishkin has become a hero of mine recently I respect what he has achieved and would love to have the chance to drop him one email and ask him a few questions.

I contacted him via Google plus but I didnt received an answer I then wondered has Rand lost touch with the little people now he is a celebrity in his own right or can I actually email him directly and ask a few questions.

Will he speak to us little people

Can I get him on Facebook or my Linked In account and get a recommendation...

[smstv]

I hit him up on Facebook, but His twitter responses are faster, I have noticed..

[jennita]

He's just a normal guy. Shoot him an email rand at seomoz.org. He's better at responding than most people I know, including myself

[randfish]

He's evil and bad! Don't try to contact him or you'll be turned to the dark side, too!

Oh no wait... I'm thinking of a different guy.

Just email me! My email's all over the web and I respond to 99% of real emails I get - rand@seomoz.org

Ok that's good to know he does come across as a down to earth guy. I just ordered the batch of videos from Moz Con 2011 and I am going through them all.

He has also inspired me to grow a beard - see image

Excellent thanks for the reply that's excellent

I am just going through all of the Moz Con 2011 videos. I was saying earlier in the thread take a look at my Google plus image I have even started growing a "Rand Fishkin" style beard ...

I will email over a few questions shortly thanks you have made my day.

I was also going to ask would you be fine with me doing a blog post on our blog along the lines of - Why Rand Fishkin is my SEO hero

Thanks

I don't know if I'd particularly recommend my beard style - I do it because I have no jawline

Certainly cool with the blog post, though I might have to do a follow-up on some real SEO heroes and why I'm not sure I belong in that group; have made plenty of mistakes, failed to scale a consulting business in SEO, had years of debt, etc.

[onlinemediadirect]

thats good to know scaling my company and recruitment is also something I am finding difficult.

Ask him the same question on all his social media platforms.  He will appreciate the ability to gain SEO friendly content with unique answers across all platforms.

[randfish]

You can just ask me on one... Here!

[kpaulin]

Shhhh...be vewy, vewy quwiet...someone is hunting for a Rand

[FrontlineMobility]

Next thing you know, SEOMoz will take off like Minecraft since Rand responds to all his fans.

[randfish]

I don't mind that one bit!

Hi Garry,

I can vouch for the fact that Rand even responds to people who email him weird & crazy questions & requests...and when I say responds, I don't mean "thanks very much for your input & have a nice day".

From my own experience I can say that where warranted, it has been more like "Holy response from the whole Company Batman!" 8D

Modest as he is about his own accomplishments, there are a lot of CEO's who would do well to take a few lessons from Rand on dealing with clients.
