Q. How do you measure "success" of the interviews?

A. The success of the interviews are measured simply by the feedback I receive from my authors. Also the amount of marketing I do for them and the professional content of the marketing posts.

Q. How often will you post about my books/interviews during my membership?

A. As soon as you become a member of Book Talk Radio Club, an announcement is made on social media. Prior to your interview another announcement is made on social media. Once completed each interview is then uploaded and posted on social media and syndicated. Aside from these announcements, there are numerous posts throughout each month such as 'Featured Author', 'Authors in the Genre of' and more. Don't forget, the more you 'share' my posts to your social media platforms (accounts) the further the exposure of your books.

Q. Do I have to use all three interviews in my 12 month membership, what if I don't use them?

A. Interviews must be used within the length of any of the memberships. It is the author's responsibility to contact Book Talk Radio Club to arrange any interviews after the first interview. If any interviews are still to be used and the membership has expired they cannot be rolled over unless agreed by Book Talk Radio Club and for any extraordinary circumstances. 

Q. Do I need special equipment for the interview?
A. No, not at all as long as the microphone and audio is working on the device you use for the interview (computer/mobile device). Please note though that using a 'Mobile/Cell Hotspot'  is advised against as these connections can be very unstable. A link to click on will be sent once confirmation of interview dates are confirmed. If you feel you are 'technically challenged', don't worry, I'll talk you hrough the process prior to your interview. I'm here to make you feel comfortable talking about your book!
