Wow it’s a great idea to promote our products through Radio, I must say it is one of the cheapest way to promote products that is effective to. But the problem is Radio jokey or Producers don’t have so much time to make adjustment in our ads so I agree with you to make our ad to the point and written effectively to target right audience.

Well that was quite a while ago…media campaigns spike and fall for books. But I can tell you that authors who sell books do it through media campaigns. Maybe radio was just not the right medium for your message.

Mark – I think a lot of media in the parenting realm would be interested in vocabulary and kids. Find some stats or studies related to the topic. And if you practice you wont get tongue tied.

I’d love to know how many book sales did those 50 interviews lead to? On Amazon, the paperback sales rank is currently 614,418 and the Kindle is 213,757. So there appears to be little lasting effect. It doesn’t seem like the number of sales may be worth the time and effort getting these interviews and doing them.

In my experience, I’ve only had one interview (Internet, not radio) that sold a lot of book. And in that case, the show host had read my book and contacted me to interview me. All those radio or internet interviews I got through my own efforts have not led to higher sales.

Interesting article, thanks for writing it. My book is languishing in no-book-land and I’ve been trying to think of what to try next. Radio sounds interesting, but I sometimes get tongue-tied and am not sure about my ability (or my book’s ability) to inform. The Word Gang is about three kids in school who start using big words to be disruptive. It’s also how young lives are transformed through friendship and good vocabulary. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark
