Course Description

Overview

Interviewing someone—whether it's for an article you're writing, a blog post, or your own podcast—is a stressful experience. But the result is incredibly rewarding, helping to make the content you create vibrant and highly engaging. Imagine the ways your content will come to life with another voice added to it!

You can conduct Q&As on your blog of people involved in your field.
You can make articles for magazines or online publications more vibrant with useful sources.
You can engage your listeners on a topic more with another person's opinion. 

This course will help you get comfortable and prepare for interviews, whether it's via email, on the phone, in person, or for live recording. It will cover:

  • How to prepare
  • The benefits and downsides of different ways you can interview people
  • How to solve problems you may run into
  • Some of the best tips and practices to get you comfortable

I've also conducted an interview for this class so you can see this information in action. You can learn more about this in the second video.
