How To Guest On A Radio Show To Promote Your Business

Want to promote your business to a larger audience? Consider appearing on a radio show. Radio shows are fun, interactive, and an enjoyable way for the show listeners to engage with you and your topic.

My friend recently asked me how to prepare to be a guest on a radio show. It can be nerve-wracking, to say the least.

Here's my step-by-step guide on how to be more focused and highly successful when you appear on a radio show. When you follow my recommended these steps, you'll be professional guest and a welcome addition for any profession radio guest spot you might desire.

How To Guest On A Radio Show

1. Show Agreement. Make sure you know what you want to get out of the show, and what you can provide to the radio program audience. Try to tailor your talk slightly towards the show audience, as this matters to the host tremendously. Some traditional radio shows charge you to appear. Make sure you understand what you're getting before you agree to pay for the show. Many Internet radio shows are free, but they want you to bring your audience to their audience. Make sure you can promise this AND make sure you deliver your audience to the show by promoting it properly, too. This is as important as doing a good job on the show, to the host.

2. Choose an ENGAGING TOPIC. You may have done that in advance, as many hosts want to know your topic PRIOR to letting you on the show. So, these two may be interchangeable. I always find a humorous topic is helpful. Also, a topic of "How-to" can be good. Or something controversial. Try all three at once and really wow your audience!

To come up with your topic, pull from your background and what you want to promote the most, right now. If the host wants your background or a specific topic MORE than what you want to promote, don't worry about that. As long as you can tailor your talk to their topic, you'll then get a couple of chances to steer the talk towards what you want to promote during the show anyway. You could talk about losing weight. Maintaining optimum health. Talk about partnering with winners. Talk about being great. Talk about Living Your Dreams and then practical ways to do this. There are a lot of things you could talk about, with your experience. Pick one that excites you and you know people care about.

Well, a radio talk can be extemporaneous, where you answer 8 - 10 questions - write the Q's then the A's, then talk naturally.

OR

You can plan your talk like you'd plan a speech, where you write your Main POINT first. Then three to five sub-points. Under each sub-point, you'll have a joke, a story, a statistic, an anecdote, etc., that backs up your sub-point. Stories are powerful. From each point there is a transition. If you write it well, you'll give your interviewer the transitions, so they look smooth and professional. You want to build in BREAKS to allow your interviewer to ask you questions. Most interviewers will ask you something (or a few things) off your sheet, out of personal interest. This will prove you know your stuff, too. Those are my favorite moments in radio interviews. The difference between a radio show talk speech and in-person talk is that the HOST will say your intro. So, write the intro for them. YOU will say the conclusion, so make sure that you get to that BEFORE the end of the show and in the way YOU WANT. Many guests let the host do this and miss their moment to summarize!

3. Show Description. Make sure to write the description of the show, and the headline, using GOOD COPY. COPY is the key to people dialing in and listening to your show! If you are unsure how to write good copy, study other talks and how they promote themselves. If you need further help, contact a copywriter. I can help, as I've written a lot of copy in the past, too. In the description, you might list three bullets of what show listeners might be struggling with - and the benefit of what they'll take away. For example:

Weight loss problem/benefit:
Stop struggling with diets that never work.... find the one way to lose weight that truly works and will keep the weight off.

Success problem/benefit:
Tired of going from job to job, trying to earn a buck...get a system that guarantees your will be successful and create the wealth and happiness you desire!

Building affiliates:
Wondering which affiliate is best...learn how to choose an affiliate who will make you look better and put big bucks in your bank account.

Use good copy and your show will attract MORE guests!

4. Your BIO. Make sure to give the show host your 1-3 paragraph bio. Trust me, they won't use more than two large paragraphs, so don't give them anything more than that. Make sure your BIO relates to your topic and also highlights the great things you've done in your past. Drop key names, company names, or programs/books you've written, helped write or develop. For AspireNow, I've always said something like "Scott's programs at AspireNow.com help over 300,000 people from over 100 countries around the world." Find your numbers and multiply them and you might be surprised how many ways you can impress others! Your BIO must make you SHINE so don't be overly bashful or shy about your successes. Besides, the host is reading these things, not you.

5. Your Plug. The host wants to promote you and make you the star. Make it easy for them. Write two plug paragraphs with phone numbers, emails, URL etc. for the host to promote you and your business. Make it EASY for people to find and promote YOU and they WILL! Make each sentence a bullet. Use no more than 3 bullets for your plug.

6. Giveaway/Discount Freebie: Many guest speakers miss this opportunity, but the biggest reason many people will listen to a show is because you offer them a GIFT. It's like having a raffle at the end of a business meeting. After the raffle, people leave, but people WILL listen more when you offer a gift or giveaway. Pick something like a book, or discount on a training course, or if you've got the budget, something sexy like an iPod or FLIP Camera phone would certainly get me excited. Only do this for shows that have traffic of at least 40,000 people. Some hosts won't give you their traffic numbers, so choose how you gift wisely.

7. Pre-show Promotion: Prior to your appearance, make sure you promote your show 2 - 5 days prior to appearing on the show to your list via mail, email, social network updates, and so forth. Promote the show again electronically 1 hour prior to going on the air and you'll catch a good number of people in your network listening to the show. If you cannot do this, then at least let people know you're going on the air. The show host really CAN tell when you promote the show to your list and they really do CARE that you do so! They want to grow their audience as much as you want their exposure! Don't blow this step: it is the single most important thing you can do to grow your audience and secure future spots as a show guest on the same show.

8. Post-show promotion: After the show, if you have permission (I suggest you secure this in your agreement) to rebroadcast, you can convert your show to MP3 and then post it to a website, blog, email, newsletter, or as a thank you download for people who sign up for your list. It can be a valuable selling tool, too, so choose where you post it and how you post it wisely. If you need assistance with show placement, contact me. Don't blow this step, either. I've appreciated the traffic that continues to come to my radio shows from online posting of the show on other guest websites and newsletters. It DOES work, believe me. And, you'll be happy when someone hires you after listening to your radio show appearance, as has happened with several of my show guests!

9. Practice & Rehearse OUT LOUD: Make sure you practice your show out loud, and make sure you have time to cover your main points with the stories and everything you wish to share. Leave time for show commercials and the plugs, and then some. Make sure you SLOW your speech down and ENUNCIATE CLEARLY. Many people forget to do this. You want to speak to the lowest guest denominator, not the highest, so you will need to be slower and more clear than normal.

Appearing on a radio show is good exposure and a lot of fun. If you're considering being a guest on a show, can provide a list of traffic, and have an exciting topic, consider contacting me to appear on either AspireNow: Seriously Fun Self Help Show or ARRiiVE: Innovations In Business.

Good luck with your show and let me know if I can help!

Want To Host Your Own Radio Show?

I always wanted to host my own radio show. I got the itch when I appeared as a guest on the Seeing Beyond Show, with Bonnie Colleen.

Have you ever wanted to host your own radio show?

There are numerous ways to go about doing it, if you're interested.

The traditional way was people would approach a radio station that ran programming similar to the type of show they wanted to run. In order to host a show, you would meet with the station program director, and decide upon a time slot, cost, and time period to run the show. Typically, this could cost anywhere from $100 - $3,000 per show segment. It would then be up to the show host to find sponsors to pay for the show, or to get "syndicated" where the station found the sponsors for the host.

Old-school Radio on the AM/FM dial:

The upside of running a radio show this way is the show host station usually had high-end audio equipment for producing and recording a show. Therefore, the show quality is likely to be pretty high. The downside of running a radio show this way is that it might be difficult to guarantee you get a recording of the show. Or, it might be difficult to get control over certain aspects of the show (time slot, advertisers, etc.). Another challenge is that show station rates and formats can change suddenly and without warning, causing you to lose much of your following you have built. Last, you also lose the ability to people to hear your show or discover your show as easily via the Internet. This is still an exciting way to launch a radio show; however, you may have the drawback of (1) high cost, and (2) narrow audience limited to a specific geography.

Internet Radio

The new alternatives with hosting radio shows is the Podcasting approach. I like this approach very much, for several reasons: (1) People can download the show, and the show may be listed on your show guest websites, (2) Internet shows like TalkShoe Pay YOU rather than you paying them. Therefore, your investment is your time and energy. You could still sell sponsorships to the show, if you had a high enough following, and (3) You create a long-tail of RSS feeds through the show. Many shows on the internet that rank high on iTunes receive 500 guests per show. These shows are typically 1 hour in length and produced regularly on a set schedule.

If you're seeking to set up your own show, check out TalkShoe and also visit my own radio shows at ARRiiVE: Innovations In Business and the AspireNow: Seriously Fun Self-Help Show.

I'm available for consulting starting at $500 for anyone who wants help setting up their own show. I've got format, structure, and guest ideas that can help save you time and avoid wasted energy.

Have fun with your show, and please do subscribe to my shows, too!

Why Don't Leaders Learn How To Speak?

Have you ever watched a talk, video, or listened to a radio show with a business leader, only to be astonished by the number of "uhs, ums, and you-know" comments that slip into their speaking?

I just watched a video featuring an interview with the CEO of a multi-billion dollar software company. The interviewer, a journalist, asked the guest CEO a series of questions, starting with "how did you get into this business?" which is a very common first question. In fact, I almost always start my radio show with that question, myself. So, you'd think the CEO would be PREPARED for such a question.

How did he respond?

"Well, you know, I was-uh, in the software-uh, business-uh, for a number of years. I got the idea-uh, to-uh, start off with this and-and-um..."

At that point, I clicked my browser and ended the interview. 

It really was THAT bad. How in the heck did THAT guy get to be the CEO of a company that big? If you ask me, it was luck. Perhaps he has selling skills. But, for sure, he lacks speaking skills. Someone close to him ought to have slipped him a note with one word: TOASTMASTERS. It might have helped this CEO to receive professional speaking training prior to appearing on TV or Radio shows. One thing is for sure: I won't invite him to speak on my radio show (which, coincidentally, was the purpose for my watching this video I'm mentioning).

I recall a talk I went to earlier this year about professional speaking. A former professional trainer, who now is a member of SCORE, delivered the talk. One thing he mentioned is to have a series of topics that you KNOW you can transition into comfortably. In addition, he recommended recording and then playing back to watch for things like hands in pockets, stammering, uhs, and-and, you-know, um, and other crummy phrases that must be wiped from the speaker's vocabulary.

It's too bad that the CEO never saw that talk. Or, if he has received such sage advice, he certainly isn't following it.

Get prepared to speak!

Are you prepared as a speaker? If you're leading a company, even though you are busy, it is vital to your success to become a polished speaker. My parents were both members of toastmasters and recommend it highly. Personally, I find that focusing on ways to improve talks is a challenge and also exciting. 

The rewards in delivering a successful public talk is threefold:

1. You are positioned as an expert on the topic. People are more drawn to you if you are an engaging speaker because they want to learn from someone who has "been there and done that" and reap the seeds of wisdom you sow.  You will find that some of these people may buy your book (or other products) that you sell at the back of the room. 

2. People are more interested to hire you or your company. There is a direct relationship between the number of new clients to ARRiiVE Business Solutions and the number of talks I give. I find that my speaking directly influences my new-customer inflow. Of course, my talks are also rated 9.4 out of 10 on a regular basis. I'm working to get that up to 9.8, so I can improve, but nevertheless, my speaking IS paying off handsomely for me.

3. Speaking is personally rewarding. I get charged-up when I speak. There's a sense of anticipation that drives me to create better articles, better talks, better e-books, and better books. Public speaking is my way of honing all of the "knowledge" products I create in order to first test for viability and second release through a more tested process. It's beneficial to know if a topic is "hot" for a certain audience. Go speak about it and you'll learn which parts of the talk resonate and which fall flat. This is especially true when speaking to a group of 20 or less. 

Are you interested in a speaker for your business event? If so, I'm available for talks on Living Your Dreams, From Cold To Gold, Blogging For Business, and Successful Email Marketing (for details see my Scott Andrews Speaking page). In addition, if you book speakers, connect with me, as I can assist you in many ways, too. My network of business professionals includes other business speakers and I enjoy being part of extended programs.

Make sure you're prepared for your talks by putting together an outline. Script out, word-for-word, the particular topics or questions you're likely to get asked about frequently. Practice by recording with a video camera and/or and audio recording device. Listen to the playback, and try to pick out the problem words from your speech and see if you can't eliminate them. It is easier to eliminate these phrases when you are prepared to speak on that topic.

Common questions you're SURE to get asked in an interview may include:

"How did you get started doing this?"

"What sparked the idea? What was your 'aha' moment?"

"What do you feel is your biggest contribution to this topic?"

There's more, but those three will be asked of you almost every time you speak. Frankly, if you're not asked those questions, you ought to speak to them anyway as your audience will WANT to know this information.

Last, get feedback each and every time you speak. This feedback will point you to your weak spots and help you get better for the next talk you deliver. May you deliver it well!

Be Different And Sell More

ARRiiVE: Innovations in Business Radio Presents...

"Be Different and Sell More," with Michael Luckman, CEO of AchieveXCorp.com.

Can you imagine what it would be like to be in control of every sales call? To not waste your time chasing opportunities that don’t exist? To perhaps even double your income in one year? Michael Luckman CEO of AchieveXCorp.com may have the answer for you.

Today, Michael Luckman joins Scott Andrews, CEO of ARRiiVE Business Solutions and Host of ARRiiVE: Innovations in Business Talk Radio.

Description: In this interview we'll cover some of Michael's valuable selling techniques, including how you might differentiate yourself to stand apart from competitors in your field. Learn why salespeople miss their numbers. Discover how you can separate from the pack of mediocre salespeople to win more often and reap the rewards you deserve. Sales team managers: are your sales people getting blocked or stuck on the money? Learn some keys to overcome this problem and better motivate and manage your team.

Michael brings over forty years of experience helping salespeople blow away their numbers and make more money than they could ever dream.

As a senior buyer for Toys R Us, he experienced firsthand what makes the difference between a good salesperson and a great salesperson. It was his frustration with traditional sales training and their sound-the-same salespeople, and his introduction to David Sandler’s unique sales methodology that convinced Michael to spend his life working to create professional salespeople. Michael offers a ton of sales wisdom in his training sessions, and this show is one you won't want to miss!

Podcasting as COLLABORATION or BLOG TOOL?

Have you used Podcasting Tools as a COLLABORATION TOOL? Podcasting tools can also be used much like a BLOG! Also, you can MAKE MONEY from broadcasts!

I've been using TalkShoe over the past six months to experiment ways to host my radio shows at AspireNow.com and ARRiiVE.com. I've discovered that Talkshoe can be used for more than just radio:

1. Site introduction files: example - visit http://www.aspirenow.com/, and click on the intro file at the top.
   
2. Conference Calls: Talkshoe gives you the ability to record a conference call (hidden or public) and invite MANY users on the line - for free!
   
3. Audio programs. I'm now converting some of my radio shows at http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/37798 and http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/37792 into CD programs.
   
4. Training and audio webinars. I use Talkshoe for my training programs http://www.howbloggersmakemoney.com/, http://www.coldtogold.com/ and other sites.
   
5. There may be even more uses for Talkshoe I haven't yet thought up - did I miss any?

Get your own Talkshoe set-up by visiting: www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/userCreate1.jsp?affiliateId=57383

Talkshoe also pays you to broadcast. They pay a little for the first and tenth shows, a percentage of show traffic, and also a percentage of show traffic that sign up under your affiliate. If you more details on the money, I'll be posting tomorrow on the subject.

Last, your Talkshoe titles WILL appear high rank in Google search engines and draw traffic to both your show page and referenced sites in show descriptions. Again, long-tails lead to happy trails!
