How to send my Blog to My Followers

I notice that I receive Blogs from authors that I follow, yet I cannot figure out how to send my blogs to the people who follow me?  I realize that I can click on each follower and then send them a message that includes the blog, but that could take hours to do.  What is the secret to sending one blog to all followers?

Hi,


Thanks for the message. This is something we only allow to Marketplace authors. The basic reasoning is that we're concerned about users getting too many emails, especially without any editorial screening (as you know, we don't screen blogs). We make an exception for Marketplace authors, as part of our partnership and because it's easier to monitor if anyone is overdoing it.

Please let us know if you have any questions about that.

Thanks,
Daniel

Ok, I figured there had to be a way.  I don't understand the purpose of following someone if you don't receive their articles and blogs.  Seems like if a user received too many emails from someone they followed,  all a user had to do was unfollow them.     Anyway, I love SA so will have to strive to become a marketplace author.

I hear you, but we get frequent complaints from readers about too much email, and we've found they're more likely to unsubscribe from everything rather than to distinguish between blogs, articles, or even which author they're following. With blogs the other issue is that they're the only email alerts we would send that don't go through some sort of review, so we are a little cautious around that.

You may be familiar with this link, but if not, here's a guide on becoming a contributor - https://seekingalpha.com/page/become-a-seeking-alpha-contributor. Once you get rolling as a contributor (we look for authors with 750+ followers and 15+ articles, just to give you targets), email us at premiumauthors@seekingalpha.com, we'd be happy to consider a pitch for Marketplace.


Best,

Daniel
