Once we agree on a date and time, I then: Let me know what times work best for you and we’ll go from there. I usually block out 30 minutes for the interview, even though it’s typically done in 10-15 minutes. I’m wondering if you’d be willing to join me for a 10 minute video interview via Skype to discuss TOPIC 1, TOPIC 2, and TOPIC 3. I often do interviews on my blog where in the past I’ve talked with several Catholic authors, speakers, and leaders. My name is Brandon Vogt, and I’m a Catholic blogger, speaker, and writer. You can just ask them informally. But if you don’t, here’s a typical email I send:
If you know the guest in advance, this is obviously much easier. From there, send a short message explaining who you are and what you’d like-emphasis on short. Stress that you’re not asking for a huge commitment, just 10-15 minutes of time. With a quick Google search you can find contact info for almost any person out there, whether an email address, blog, Facebook page, or Twitter account. Once you’ve decided on a guest, it’s time to reach out. In fact, I’ve yet to receive a ‘No’ in all the interview requests I’ve made and I think you’ll experience the same thing. Don’t think, “Oh, that person is too famous or too busy” or “they would never want to talk with me.” The reality is people enjoy discussing themselves and their work and it’s a great compliment when you’re asked to be interviewed. The key here is not to dismiss anyone just because they seem unreachable.
#PAMELA FOR SKYPE FOR MAC PC#
As far as I know, there’s no comprehensive tutorial for PC users that covers the technical and non-technical aspects of recording a video interview. If they have a Mac, I usually just point them to Michael Hyatt’s excellent guide.īut if they have a PC, there’s little out there.
#PAMELA FOR SKYPE FOR MAC HOW TO#
Over the past few months, several people have asked me how to record their own. I can knock one out in less than an hour. And these video interviews take much less time than writing a long article or post. It’s fun talking face-to-face with remarkable people. People would rather watch interviews than read them.Īnd I like them too. It’s no surprise then that my video interviews are much more popular than their text counterparts. We live in a YouTube age where people want their content to move and breathe. The average person visits a website for 48 seconds, but if it has video we stay for almost six minutes.
