What do Google+,
Spirit Guides & Dreams have in common?
The answer is
on my first interview on Google+ posted at the bottom of this article.
Doing a Google+ live show was fun and insightful but required mastering
a new learning curve. Learning this new technology is worth your
time because it is the new path internet radio is taking. If you are promoting
your area of expertise, you may be invited to do a Google+ radio show. Being prepared can help you be successful on many levels.
Host Chris One
Feather lead me through the Sacred Dream Doors in my memory that I had no idea
existed. He is a master interviewer and wonderful host. And, his co-host Marcella MacArthur
has the patience of a saint. She guided me step-by-step through the
necessities for a successful Google+ Interview—a platform with which I was
unfamiliar.
Riding the new
wave of ever-changing technology takes perseverance.
Endeavour to Persevere.
Here are 5 important lessons for a successful interview:
1 1.) If
things don’t go as planned the first time—try and try again. Don’t give up.
2 2.). Make
connections. It is easier to learn a skill from people with the skill.
3 3.) Keep
your sense of humor while learning new technology.
4 4.) Cutting
out the picture of someone’s face from a magazine and taping it beside the
camera on your computer will give your eyes a focus point for correct eye
contact with your audience.
5 5.) Speak
to the picture as if it were your audience, because on some level it is.
Have you ever watched a Skype
interview and it looked like the guest was looking down at the computer the
whole time, or their eyes were wandering around the room as if the walls were
speaking to them?
That is because they were looking
at the host’s face in the bottom corner of the computer. It is natural for our
eyes to search for a face to connect with while speaking. You may have also noticed this on Skyped in
interviews on the evening news.
Using lesson number five will help alleviate this. And choosing a smiling picture may encourage you to smile on
camera as well.
For hosts
considering making the switch to Google + , a professional looking interview may require additional lighting and
possibly a mounted camera. Here are two
tricks that will help with lighting and sound.
1 1.) Use
your phone camera to check lighting.
2 2.) Use
your i-phone ear bud as a microphone to decrease surrounding noise.
Statistics
show that video is the blogging and article choice for the future.
Blogs and articles may have a short written introduction
and conclusion, but the body of the information source will be video. Many magazines have become multimedia to
utilize this new trend.
However, it is
important to remember that written information must consist of at least 300 words to attract the attention of search
engine spiders. The old rule of an
acceptable blog size as 200 words is obsolete. Times are changing.
However, it is
reassuring that some written work is required for those of us who are still
writers at heart.
Enjoy the
show...
