Public Announcement

On July 20th, I will be doing a 12 hour radio marathon. (Why? Because I said so that’s why… oh sorry, wrong response… a few people know; but on July 20th EVERYONE WILL) During that time, there will be contests with prizes given away each hour. Everyone who signs up with my newsletter (previously) or anytime before July 21st will get a bunch of free gifts. You can ask me questions live! There will be live interviews. And the last time to get into Rockstar Masterminds at just $9.70 for the first month.

Well, it is time to practice asking again. I am still learning to ask for help, but getting better. And anyone who helps, gives a prize, a give-away or an interview will be announced on Twitter, there will be a thank you for you and your website on Facebook, and on three blogs. Great way to add some publicity!

I NEED (prefer self-improvement / change related)

• Prizes for hourly contests
• Give-aways for everyone who joins my newsletter
• People to interview – limitations: must be someone who knows me, been on my blog before and is willing to talk about changes and self-improvement.
• AND THE BIGGEST THING – ADVICE

PRIZES
Prizes will be given away in contest form.  The contests will be semi-spur of the moment unless you have a particular contest you want.  Each contest will have some sort of publicity spin.

GIVEAWAYS
Give-aways will only be offered for people who join the newsletter before July 21st.  Those people will have a week to download their gifts before that page will be removed.  If you want your give-away to be with the interview product let me know.  If you want your give-away to remain as a gift for my subscribers, again let me know.

INTERVIEWS:
Interviews will be recorded and become part of a product later, so more publicity!

ADVICE
I have never interviewed anyone, never done a talk show before, hosted a prize contest, or promoted a give-away. Lots to learn, in a week. I haven’t figured out which radio show will let me do 12 hours straight, plus I will have at least one interview that will be prerecorded. 2 hours will be live on Ustream.

So any advice on how to interview someone?
Which Radio format will allow me to do 12 hours straight?
How can I play the prerecorded interview(s)?
Is there anything you would like for me to do during the 12 hours?
Do I need mic? I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000
Will anyone care that there is cat tree in the background during the video?
Does anyone know how to add an extra week between now and July 20th?
What is the best way to record the whole event? (It will be a product later)
Is there anything else I should know?

Does anyone know why I agree to this????  Must keep looking at looking at my book which has “DON’T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters” Which book is it?

TWITTER HOW-TO TIP #82 My Tweet Map Idea

NOTE: This Twitter How-to Tip is an authorized part of the “Twittin’ Secrets” Series: 100 World’s Greatest Twitter Tips and Twitter Secrets by Internet and Twitter Strategist, Dan Hollings.

TWITTER HOW-TO TIP #82

My Tweet Map… This is more of an interesting Twitter curiosity than a defined Twitter strategy, but none-the-less it’s a very nice idea brought to us by Minot Public Schools, Tech Director Craig Nansen. In a TwitterVision.com like style, MyTweetMap.com does the same thing only it’s for your personal tweets and followers. http://www.mytweetmap.com/

One geo-cool idea would be to make an interesting Tweet (yourself), then immediately go to MyTweetMap and take a screenshot of your Tweet on the map. Then upload your screenshot image to Flickr.com or Tweetcube.com or better yet, post your screenshot on a web page or blog. Now you can tweet a link to your TweetMap screenshot anytime. This makes your tweet, as shown on a map, permanent.

It’s an interesting and eye catching strategy if you want to emphasis WHERE you are located, or WHERE you are going. Remember that within your Twitter account settings you must indicate a location – but also remember, you can change this location setting whenever you like; to fit your current (or future) location.
