Got an idea you think will sink the hook and get you that big radio or TV interview? Float the idea here and get reaction from other members. Polish it so it becomes a "can't lose" promotional opportunity.

If you've been booked for an interview, please share information about how others can listen/watch/read.

TV stations frequently post feature interviews on their web site, like this one. http://bit.ly/2a7vPQV

Radio stations frequently have worldwide "Listen Live" capability. Let us know in advance how we can tune in via the internet.

And if you're picked up by a blogger, it's always a great move cross-promote them in your circle of friends (and let them know you did it.)

Share your successes here! We'll be watching.

Bloggers- if you offer authors the opportunity to write guest posts what are your guidelines for success? Please feel free to link to a post on your blog that you think was done particularly well.

Any pet peeves?

What if an author wants to do blog posts but doesn't know how to approach the blogger? Suggestions for making a good first impression?

What can self-publishers do to come up on the radar of producers who book guests on local TV interview shows? Please share your successful strategy!

What if you bumped into a local radio personality at the store? What would you say to make them want to have you as a guest on their show?
