First off.. FM is right, Fred.   You're just launching a biz, and people are far more likely to buy hand craftsmanship when they can get to know a bit about the designer or maker.  And content like articles is what can get you hits from search engines when people are looking for something like what you are selling.  People like video and pics and audio and games and such, but search engines see pretty much only the plain text.  Pics of your smiling face may get all the young ladies flocking to your feet, but they won't impress a search engine at all.  LOL  And people are more inclined to read interviews or articles than bio pages. 

Second off, you most certainly are interesting, and I am sure people would like to know more about you.  The product is also interesting, and what is buried here in forum threads wouldn't work as good as some easy-to-find information on your main site about why and how your new shoulder rest design was invented and developed.  It would be good and interesting content.  Content is what draws traffic, and traffic is what generates sales on the Internet. 

I haven't ever written any interviews.  My professional writing has been limited to web-content (hey, you didn't *really* think website owners actually write all that, did you?), ad copy, information articles, press releases, reviews, and biographies of people considerably more boring than Fred.  In other words, I have worked as what is called in the trade a "hack" writer.  The sort of writer people get when they need something like a 400 word article to put on a webpage  that is informative and just happens to mention the product twice and work certain keywords into the context of the article to draw search engines hits.  So I might not be the best choice for this.  I would agree with FM that (judging from the average literacy level of posts here) there are likely more writers skulking about in these forums and probably some have actual experience with interviewing or some background in journalism.

  However.. I would be pleased to be considered as at least one of the volunteers FM can choose from who would be willing to take a shot at an interview with Fred.  That is, provided that Fred is ok with it. 

We can't expect FM to do it all, folks.  He already does an awful lot that we all benefit from here.

suresh: I do kinda wonder why I was one of the people that came to your mind for this sort of thing.

Hey!  I use smileys sometimes!    See?
