My Plan for 2020

Going Remote!

On the airPart of my marketing plan as a Realtor was to get on the radio airwaves with a program about local real estate. 

With no real plan in mind I approached a local radio station manager and asked him if he would air my program. He said sure. It probably didn't hurt that I had been advertising on his station for the last 12 years or so.

MicInstead of me yammering away the entire time I decided my program "Minot Real Estate Today" (Now just "Minot Today") would be interviews with local, influential people. The interviews were a good choice and that is still the format of my show today.

Next year I am looking to enhance, not change, my program with two ideas.

#1) I have been conducting my interviews for the studio in my office or out at the radio stations studio. In 20 20 I plan on doing some remote interviews which I think may add to the excitement of the interview and the subject at hand. I've had the equipment to do it for some time but I just had the equipment in studio as a backup in case of failure of my regular recording equipment.

#2) Another "vision" for 2020 is literally "VISION". I am currently on 2 radio stations but why not add television? I recorded my last interview on video as well as audio as a test run and I am pleased except for one very obvious thing... I have a face for radio, not television.

 I apologize that the video and audio are NOT in sync. This is the first time I've used YouTube's new video editor and I hope to get it figured out soon so I can fix this. Thank you.

Minot Today is broadcast over the air on two Minot radio stations every Friday. You can find it on 106.9 FM at 12:15 (Noonish) and again at 4:45 on 1320 AM. Of course I always post the broadcast as a Podcast here as well as my Podcast site at Pod-O-Matic.

What great ideas, Bob. Here's sending you all best wishes for successful results. They  say that we all worry too much about how we look on video and that no one is as critical as we are of ourselves.

Grant Schneider when I look at me I can't believe my own family admit they are related to me.... unless they say something about a terrible accident .

Bob, Don't be so hard on yourself...you can't look any worse than I do without makeup...try it, hides a multitude of sins. Congrats on taking your show to the next level and going remote...all the best!

Hi Bob,
Great job!  I think the interview format is awesome and love the relaxed conversational tone.  I wish you the best for branching out into the remote strategy. That should give you some interesting opportunities.
