Since I’ve found my niche, I’ve had no problem finding work consistently. I write about sex, sexuality, gender, dating, relationships, and queer culture. When I got started, I thought I might be able to write exclusively about being a bisexual man, and the experiences of biphobia I’ve encountered from both straight women and gay men. Alas, while various editors loved the pieces, it was not something I could write 20 pieces about a month. This approach was a little too narrow, so I expanded my niche and started getting more work and making more money. The BuzzFeed team will select products that best engage its audience.
Because 100 Interviews was an independent project, Dunn sometimes solicited interviews with candidates in non-traditional unexpected ways. L. Stine agreed to sit for an interview after Dunn “cold-tweeted” him on Twitter. After trying and failing to interview Colbert by crashing a $2,000 a plate dinner gala, Dunn settled for asking him questions during a pre-show Q&A for The Colbert Report. They also used Help a Reporter Out, an online service that connects journalists with expert sources. In October 2010, Dunn created 100interviews.com, a Tumblr blog in which they intended to publish transcripts of 100 interviews, given over the course of a single year, with a variety of different people. Interview subjects included a transgender person, a rocket scientist, an Abraham Lincoln expert, and Stephen Colbert.
