I’m very excited to announce that I was chosen to call in to the Dave Ramsey show for his special episode about Creative Stay At Home Moms Making Money From Home. The show airs on Monday, September 1st at 8pm ET. Click here to find your local Fox Business station.
Hopefully the show didn’t run long and my whole 5 minute conversation will be aired. Never in a million years did I think my idea of starting a VA business would get me a tv interview (nor do I think it’s all that creative, given the number of VAs popping up all over the internet) but I sure am happy that I bit the bullet and submitted my story. Just goes to show that you should take advantage of every free publicity opportunity that presents itself.
I am very happy with how the interview went, although I was sick with nerves the entire morning and couldn’t eat anything until I was done recording at almost 1pm. I’m not a natural talker and I tend to get tongue-tied, which would have been the ultimate embarrassment on national television. So I spent that whole morning nervous and practicing all my answers to a multitude of possible questions.
This week I’ll be analyzing my stats to see if my short appearance gets me any more traffic to my site…or maybe possible clients! At the very least, this experience gave me practice being interviewed and hopefully the next opportunity will be much easier.
Lesson for the Week: write a press release and get it sent out to local and online media.
What’s making news in your business? Do you have any back-to-school specials? Get the word out there about your business so more people can find you. You just never know who might come knocking on your door
