You don’t need to spend any money to start doing audio interviews. In fact, you can interview someone and record it for free. If you have access to a phone at a public library, you may need a few quarters to make those calls, but I’ll show you exactly how.
Let’s say you want to do an interview and you don’t have a computer at home. You can go to any public library and you can go to Google and set up an email account.
Then you’ll get their email, and then you’ll think, “Well, who can I interview?” Let’s say you want to talk to a copywriting expert. You can use the phone and pick up the phone and call them to ask, or you can email them through your email account at the library.
Now, you want to record the interview. You can use a service for free conference calls. They have a record option where you press star nine and you can record, or you can both record on your own ends.
If you had absolutely no money, you could record the call through a free service like this one. They’ll send you the digital version of your conference call, so when you set up your conference call and you have your expert say, “Yes, I’d be willing to do an interview,” you do the recording. You ask them to join you on the conference call.
When you sign up with them, they will give you a call number. You will make the call. You will record the interview, and then you will have a recorded audio.
Now, you haven’t got it edited yet, but there is actually free editing software.
How do you make money with this? Let’s say this person who wanted to do the audio recording had no money. You could approach that expert, and he can make a couple of different choices. You might say, “Why don’t we do this interview and then you can give this audio to your list?” When you do the interview, you want to have an ulterior motive.
So in the audio, let’s say you’re interviewing about copywriting, but he’s selling a copywriting course. So, he would make an agreement that this writer would take this interview and distribute it to his mailing list via email or physical mail, and that audio is designed to sell his writing product.
Since you took the time to produce the interview with him, you negotiate a percentage of the sales, or you can have your expert sell the recording to his list.
So let’s just say it’s a happy interview. You do the interview with him. You provide them with the audio and say, “Okay, you’re going to promote and sell this to your list,” and they could split the profits.
Now, another way is that you could trade the rights to the interview 100%, and if you have the rights, you could take that audio and sell it to anybody. If you sign up for that copywriter affiliate program, that little interview, if done right and engaging and convincing and generating sales, could be a little money machine for you.
So, this is how you can do it one hundred percent free. The quality may not be that great, but it is definitely doable, one hundred percent free. All you need is your phone and a library computer.
