Welcome to The Extreme Diva Network
Join us September 13, 2010 for the premier of The Extreme Diva Network. The Extreme Diva Network offers women a variety of programs that focus on The Extreme Diva Mission.

Our Mission: To help women & their families improve the quality of their lives by focusing on 4 key areas:

  • Reducing stress;
  • Increasing joy;
  • Simplifying life;
  • Enhancing relationships.

Each 30 minute online program gives listeners the opportunity to call in & ask questions, share advice & offer ideas. We are rapidly filling up our schedule with programs on a variety of topics for women today. Our weekly schedule will be posted on this page as program times are selected.

We are excited to being this new venture at The Extreme Diva. We hope we are able to improve the quality of life for women across the country & beyond with our programs.
Podcast Preparations
 
  1. Go to Talkshoe (http://talkshoe.com) & register for an account. At this time, it is not necessary to create a program.
  2. Watch their training videos. These will help familiarize you with their site & the features when you do your shows.
  3. Choose a day & time for your program. At first, your program should only be 30 minutes but plan for 60 minutes. I like to sign on early so I can greet my guests and get ready to record. Once you have chosen your day & time, send it to me.
  4. Explore Talkshoe. Find programs like yours & listen to them. Get a feel for what is being done. Check out shows on other sites as well.
  5. Create 3-4 names for your program so we can discuss them before finalizing.
  6. Develop a schedule of topics to go through the end of the year.
  7. Create a list of potential interview guests. You don’t have to know them but I urge you to be realistic in the beginning.
  8. Discuss #6 & 7 with me for fine tuning & brainstorming.
  9. Contact potential guests & schedule them. Ask them to send you 10-12 questions you can ask during the interview. If they have a book, ask them to send you a copy. Send them an email confirming their appearance & the items you requested during your discussion.
  10. Develop a panel of women (8-10) that fit the market for your program. You can schedule topics every 6-8 weeks for the panel. You will only invite 3-4 of them per show but it helps to have extras on call if needed.
  11. Enlist a large group of friends to listen live to you program & to call in when you are first starting. You might even prepare questions for them to keep things moving.
  12. Once you & I have agreed on everything & finalized it, create your program & schedule the first show on Talkshoe. Add the widget to your website. Create a Facebook fan page for your program. I will create a fan page for the network.
  13. Work to have all this done by the beginning of August. This gives us time to promote your program. Once your schedule is finalized, send it to me along with a current photo. I will create a logo for your program & send it to you so you can add it to your Talkshoe profile. I will then add your program info, photo & schedule to our website.
 
Jean Ann Duckworth is available as a guest for your program. She can discuss how her Simple Joy philosophy applies to your topic. I also believe each host of a program on or network should be a guest on all the other programs. Even if their topic doesn’t apply, they can contribute to your program. This helps to promote the entire network.
 
Finally, to help you get started with your program, here is a program breakdown. It shows you how to plan out the 30 minutes.
 
-5:00: Sign on to program. Mute the audience so they can’t hear or talk. Talk to your guest. Go over the procedure.
 
-1:00: Greet your audience & tell them you are going to begin recording in 1 minute.
 
0:00: Begin recording.
 
0:00-04:30: Introduce the topic. Offer general information on the topic as well as statistics that may apply. Mention your guest so audience stays tuned through commercial.
 
4:30-5:00: Commercial break. This will be a live commercial you will read.
 
5:00-14:30: Interview your guest
 
14:30-15:00: Commercial break
 
15:00-29:30: Take questions from listeners. They may ask by chat or phone. If they type their question, be certain to read it for the recording.
 
29:30-30:00: Thank your guest. If they have a book, website, etc. be certain to promote it for them. Thank your listeners. Preview next week’s program. Mention sponsors. Finish show.
 
30:00: Stop recording.
 
30:30: Again, thank you audience. Thank your guest & invite them back. Sign off.
 
 
It is very simple. Fill the audience with friends & relatives at first so you feel comfortable. People that drop into your program are more likely to stay if they see lots of people are participating. We can practice before your first show so you are more comfortable.
