Interview guidelines
Your interview is the perfect opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise with your audience. By taking the time to perfect your interview, you increase your chances of reaching new potential customers and establishing trust and authority.
1. Think through your message
An interview is a great way to share your story and build trust and authority with your audience. Before reaching out to get your personalized question, think about the message you want to send—do you want to reach a new audience, strengthen trust with current followers, showcase a new project or product, or simply make people aware of who you are? Having a clear goal makes it easier to craft answers and create an interview that truly aligns with your objectives. Let us know your focus when you reach out, and we’ll help you shape your story for maximum impact.
2. Get your questions

3. Use clear, professional photos
Please note that we are unable to accept selfies with low-quality or low-resolution images. If you don't have anything suitable for your Exclusive Interview, we highly recommend you contact a professional photographer to take some professional photos for you (which are always helpful to have on hand for your website and marketing materials).
4. How would you like to be introduced?
While waiting for your personalized questions, you can start preparing a document with your introduction. This should be written in third person and serve as a preview of what’s to come in your article. Aim to make it engaging and informative—long enough to give context and personality, but not so long that it loses the reader’s interest. A suitable length is roughly 150–250 words.
Example:
Jim Kwik, a globally recognized expert in memory, brain optimization, and accelerated learning, transformed his life after a childhood brain injury left him struggling to learn. He developed groundbreaking strategies to supercharge mental performance and has spent over two decades helping others unlock their full potential. His clients range from Hollywood stars and professional athletes to entrepreneurs and world leaders, with organizations like Google, Nike, SpaceX, Harvard, and the United Nations seeking his guidance to unleash human genius.
5. Write your answers
Once you receive your questions, it’s time to start writing your article and answers. Take your time to respond thoughtfully—answer each question fully, but stay on point. Avoid one-word or single-sentence answers. If an answer starts to get very long, consider breaking it into two or more questions. Don’t hesitate to adjust, expand, or add questions to better reflect your story and expertise—this is your chance to make the interview truly yours.
6. Does it tell a story?
Once the questions have been answered, it is time to go over the text to make sure the narrative is clear. You might want to change places of a few questions to make the text feel more natural, and to make sure not to switch topics rapidly through the text.
7. Guide your reader
Give some thought about what you want the reader to do next, and carefully write the last paragraph. Is it to read your articles? Schedule a phone call? Look at your website or sign up for a newsletter?
No matter what your goal is, a carefully crafted call to action at the end of your interview can make the whole difference when it comes to seeing results.
8. Ready to submit?
When your interview is ready, you can submit it through the same form as you submit your articles. Remember that in order for your interview to be published, you need to have sent in the Executive Contributor Information Form and recommended that you have published at least one article.
