Hi – have we met? I’m Roger Blankenship, founder and host of the Flipping America Media Company. The Flipping America Show is heard coast to coast three times a week on 18 am/fm stations across the country. After the show is broadcast the recording is turned into a podcast and released on 35 podcast platforms including Apple, Spotify, IHeart, and TuneIn. It’s also posted in the free Flipping America app. 

The show is heard by more than a million and a half listeners each month including 120,000+ documented downloads or streams for every episode. We just started a YouTube Channel so now I take the video from the interviews and put them there as well. 

I don’t suggest that people quit their jobs and start flipping houses like you see on TV. I DO encourage everyone to include real estate in a balanced investment portfolio. This means the show is about the many ways one can make money in real estate. For most, it’s a side gig. For some it will mean starting their own small business. 

When we do the interview, you’ll see I’m an investor, not a journalist by trade, but I do ok with interviews. I will ask you questions, thinking both from my own perspective but also that of my listeners. I’m going to try to ask you what they would want to know. But I’m not setting you up for a “gotcha.” Listen to the show and you’ll know I’m not that kind of guy. I just want to know you better and introduce you to my audience. 

The entire process will take about 30 minutes. The interview segments are normally 8-12 minutes. I will ask about your background and training and what you’re doing now. If you have a book, product, course, or a website, I am happy to promote it for you. Please make a note now to send me an affiliate link so I can use it during the interview. 

Do me a favor? Have a strong, stable internet connection – preferably hard wired. If you’re going to do several shows it’s worth investing in a decent microphone that plugs directly into your computer. You can do that for around $100. Then when it’s time for the interview, put some thick blankets or curtains, sound deflecting panels or something right behind your camera. You want to be talking toward something that will reduce the sound bouncing around off the walls in your room. Listeners can really tell a difference. 

I’m known for asking the question, “what can I do to help you grow your business?” And this is what is in my heart as we talk. Think about what you would really like to accomplish on the call. Remember my goal is to inform AND entertain. I want our interview to be compelling enough that people will share with their friends saying, “you gotta see this.” 

As you think about your product or service we are going to promote, ask yourself this million dollar question: What’s so great about that? Think of all the features and benefits of your product and answer that question? WSGAT? What’s So Great About That? 

I want you to know exactly what to expect on our call. 

The interview link is bit.ly/bemyguestfa. Just paste that into your browser a couple of minutes before we are due to start and you’ll be technomagically transported into a digital green room. 

We will chat for a few minutes then we will go. I’ll record for 8-10 min and then pause for a commercial break, which for you and me will be about 5 seconds. Then we will resume the conversation for another 8-10 min. 

I’ll ask some of the questions you wanted me to, but I’m also going to ask a few of my own. Don’t worry – it’s all designed to make you look like a genius. 

Within a day of the release of the show, you’ll get an email with the artwork and a few links:

These will include Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Iheart Radio, but also our blog page where people can read all the show notes and listen to the show. 

I will also include the episode artwork you can use when posting to social media. 

Relax, enjoy the conversation, and let’s see if we can send some clients your way.
