Jeff, I've accepted interviews at 2am, where I know that the only people listening were the host, a couple of insomniacs, and a few strippers driving home from work! As a Physical Fitness Expert, even if only one person takes my advice and improves their health, it was worth my time. Who knows, maybe they will also remember me when my book is launched, and buy a copy. On the other hand, as a radio host at busy station, I loved the action of 10 phone-lines blinking at once, with callers waiting to ask questions.
Ah.. Rico, you are reminding me of my first radio interview--long before internet radio-- on a popular Twin Cities station. I thrilled to be invited as a guest, even though I was scheduled to be on from midnite until 1am. I was so nervous, I had to rush to the studio's bathroom during every commercial break-- at least 10 times! It was a call-in show ( I don't think we heard from any strippers though!) and there was such an interest in the topic, that the host asked me to remain on the air until 3am. I didn't tell anyone that I would be on , thinking it would be good practice without worrying about making a fool of myself. But the next day, I heard from several people who happened to be listening that night. So I agree with you and Jeff: Take advantage of every opportunity to get your name and message out there, regardless of time of day or number of listeners. Even if one person benefits from our message and hopefully buys our books, it's worth the effort. Plus it's fun!
