Authors – Internet Radio/Podcast Interviews

This is something that you are either the interviewer or interviewee. They can be talk shows, radio shows, interviews, or you can talk about your book. Basically it’s an audio file that you distribute over the internet.

Throughout your author platform you will be making connections and it’s through these connections that an opportunity to have an internet radio interview may develop. I was approached by someone through LinkedIn® who did author interviews using Blog Talk Radio. This also allows the interview to remain out on the internet as long as the host allows.

I found a great website for authors and contacted them for an interview through The Authors Show, found here http://www.wnbnetworkwest.com/WnbAuth.... There is a plethora of information to get your book out to the public. There are free and paid options, and they also have some great tools to help with marketing. Remember the no stone unturned theory.

If you have the experience and choose to host other authors through an internet radio interview, then you can create an account on BlogTalkRadio and follow their tutorials or demos. If you don’t have any experience being a host, you’ll want to be sure you learn the tips of the trade because the questions asked are extremely important. It could be the difference between success and failure.

You can also do an online podcast interview using video. You can do a search for people who do podcast interviews for authors. If you wish to be the host you can look for the many products or software used to do a podcast. One I have used is Skype (www.skype.com). You can actually record yourself doing an informational video to be posted on your website, or do the interview with another author, publisher, or agent. Again, this is something you really should have experience in because the better the quality, the better the interview, and the better credibility you’ll have.
