In this episode of Ask Christina first, we dive into why it’s important to add interviews to your platforms as a way of solidifying your expertise in your field. Interviewing people can help generate an audience you didn’t have previously by simply sharing the thoughts, concepts and feelings of someone who you trust as an expert in their field. You can interview people on various platforms like Go To Meeting, Zoom and more. Capturing audio and visuals are a great way to produce and manage meaningful content. You can use your already existing platforms like your blog, Facebook page, IG TV, Youtube, etc… All of these platforms will give you access to releasing your interviews in which the interviewee will also share allowing their network to also become a part of yours. A great way to become an interviewee is to find blogs, forums, events, meetings, magazines and webinars that are potentially looking for guest speakers. This is a great way to not only introduce yourself to someone new and create a new contact, but it also helps you expand your knowledge on what is out there that you can be a part of.
