'My Biz, Your Biz' - Ludwina Dautovic interviews a business owner who is an expert in a particular area of business. This segment is 8 minutes long
'Featured Interview' - Ludwina Dautovic interviews CEO's and entrepreneurs of large, successful companies. This segment is 40 minutes long. You can view the list of past guests on our past episode page (www.theredtenwoman.com.au/past-episodes)

How do you choose guests for the feature interview?

For the featured interview, which is 40 minutes in total, we are looking for CEO's and heads of medium to large businesses OR business owners who have a high profile and years of success. We want to know how you created that success, the challenges you overcame along the way and some of the innovative ideas and business practices that put you ahead of your competition. You should have a fairly decent sized database and be willing to help us promote the show via social media and/or email newsletter referring to your appearance on the show.

How do you choose the products, services, resources or productivity tools that you review for the 'What's Hot' segment?

Ludwina prefers to have used the product, service, resource or productivity tool before reviewing it on the show. If you are interested in having her talking about your product, service, resource or productivity tool to her international audience, make sure you send it to her so that she can give it a test run. This also allows her to give it a more in-depth amount of feedback. It's not a requirement, but if she likes it and you have an affiliate program attached to it, you are more likely to be considered.

How do you choose guests for the 'My Biz, Your Biz' segment?

We look for guests who come to us with a specific topic, can offer excellent insights and information that is not easy to find elsewhere, and who deliver small business focused content. You should have an affiliate program or referral system set up for your products or services. You should also have a decent sized database and be willing to promote the show via social media and/or an email blast.

To choose a topic, first take a look at our past episodes. (www.theredtenwoman.com.au/past-episodes)That way you can see what else has been offered so as not to duplicate a topic.

Please note: We work on a 'win-win' model and therefore ask that you help us by promoting the show that you are featured on. We will provide you with a press release, prewritten tweets, Facebook posts and blog posts to make it easier for you to spread the word. Your chances of being on the show will be based up on the content that you are able to provide AND your willingness to help promote it.

What makes a good interview?

The most popular shows with listeners have had this in common:

A narrowly focused topic. A catchy descriptive title helps, too.
Information that is usually available only from industry leaders — or information so current that it is hard to find elsewhere.
How-to interviews where the guest provides detailed answers, tips and advice.
Guests who minimize the use of 'ums' and 'ahs’ when they speak and who don’t spend a lot of time searching for words. We are looking for guest who can give confident , direct answers to interview questions. (Since we aren’t a LIVE show, we can always edit some stumbles here and there, but you must be able to give a good interview).
Guests who talk at a steady pace : not too fast and not too slow.
Guests who know and understand their topic very well and who can engage in a two way conversation. It other words – don’t hog the show! We are ALL about promoting our guests and their businesses, but we don’t want it to become garish or JUST become a commercial. We pride ourselves in garnering business information from our guests and we want to give that insight to our listeners without them thinking they are listening to ads. Trust us, you will get a lot of coverage and exposure due to being on the show.
