Join Sara Troy on Sara’s View of Life, on-air from January 10th
Being a radio blog host or Podcaster requires some skill and ability to bring the best out of your guest. It is not about you unless you are doing a show about you only even then if it does not speak to the masses with a topic of interest they will not listen to you.
Do not become a host because you want fame or money, it takes time from you and conviction, do it because you want to support others.
Being a guest on a media blog/podcast requires respect and gratitude, for someone is promoting you because they like what you stand for and doing to enhance the lives of others. You do not come demanding nor say “how many listeners” as that implies your not interested unless they have the numbers to serve you if you only serve one person that is what matters.
The authenticity of self and Sincerity in one’s service, and in respect, and consideration for the time someone has taken out to interview should always be remembered. For some, this is a hobby but still costs them to produce, for some like us here at Self Discovery Media, it is a business, a serves that inspires, invites and guides people on their own journey in life.
With so many podcasting/video blogging out there today, one can be overwhelmed by who is doing what. Do not just go on air just because, but make sure the show genre represents you first and your story and work/topic, and that the interviewer has a style that suits you.
Many podcasts are now Video as well as audio, so if you are doing a video podcast, please make sure that you have good lighting, sound ( earplugs and a mic), and dress for the camera, clean and somewhat smart.
One must understand, THIS IS WORK, it takes time and commitment, respect, and the ability along with a passion, to listen and communicate with your listeners and guests.
If a host charges, it is because there have costs involved and maybe it is their full-time job, please respect their commitment and that it is their work and a service in promoting you and your work.
I Sara Troy am a host of over 2700 + shows personally and run a media-video/podcast network Self Discovery Media where we have over 3000 collective shows +. I am going to share some tips with you on being a guest on a show and also how to host your own shows.

If we pay attention there are always signs, the breadcrumbs to show us our way, but do they always show us the right path? We see the possibilities, what could be, what we want it to be, but maybe this was not the path at all but a misdirection.
How do we know? and once on the path do you continue forward or go back or REDIRECT?
We are all so bombarded by the exterior noise we don’t always hear our inner voice or our instincts and we override our gut our soul’s intuition. How to tune in, how to know when to retreat or how to redirect, for maybe that was the reason for following the breadcrumbs in the first place.
We can’t let the unknown stop us, for that is the journey of life, but being able to see when to adjust, redirect or retreat is key to not getting in any deeper than we need to. Sometimes it is just meant to get us going, and when we see it is the wrong path but not the wrong journey we are more able to seek out or pay attention to another path along the way.
It is about being adjustable, adaptable and in-tune with our environment, for the signs are always there, we just have to learn to read them and follow our instincts and not someone else’s breadcrumbs.

Peace Joy Love and Kindness to our Global Community this Christmas.
Am I getting old? Are manners thing of the past? Are the words like “Thank you and Please” gone forever? The word courtesy is not even in the modern day dictionary. Is anyone teaching our children to use these words? When someone takes the time to say a simple thank you, it makes you feel more valued, that whatever you did for this person was appreciated.
Do any of you remember Carol Kings song “you’ve got to get every morning with a smile of you face and show the world all the love in your heart…” Don’t you feel different when someone greats you with a smile? When there is some positive energy about you don’t you feel inspired? A simple smile a courtesy, a please and thank you goes a long way to making our day a more pleasant one.
We are in the big busy Christmas season, where every one and their dog are out shopping. It is crowded and noisy and you can’t find anything that you want to buy. Frustration grows, your are a reasonable person but this lineup is way to long, and the sales clerk is no help and you can’t find that perfect gift and every one is in a hurry AAAARRRRGGGGG
Courtesy goes out the window. It is like a domino effect. When one person is in a bad mood it affects everyone else, the vibe around you are oppressing, and suddenly you can’t stand to shop any more.
Here are some tips to help you through this hectic season.
1: Do not leave it all to the last moment, plan at least 2-3 trips to different stores and allow yourself the time to look around before just buying.
2: Do as much research as you possibly can, like looking in flyers, magazines, T.V ads, go on line, get some ideas of what you want before you go.
3: Even ask the person that you are buying for, to give you a list of items that they want, and choose something from that.
4: Try not to go at the weekends, dinnertime is good (if your stores are open late during this season) because everyone else is eating. You can have a tranquil dinner later knowing that your shopping is out of the way. Always allow for a coffee/tea/booze break so as to replenish yourself.
5: If you have no idea what to buy your teenager niece or nephew or sons and daughters get them certificates, they love to shop after Christmas when the sales are on (but for your own kids also get a little gift that is personal like jewellery, tickets to a concert something that shows them that you made an effort, that means you care). As for the younger ones, ask their mum, failing that books, movies, music and colouring stuff are always good. Babies, educational toys for the age of the child are always a good idea. DON’T FORGET THE PETS TOO.
6: Wives, do not get her something for the house, if you buy for the house give to the house, for your wife it must always be something that makes her feel loved and valued. Jewellery, night gowns (get the size right) a beautiful romantic scarf, a Spa date, weekend with friends, tickets to a fabulous dinner and show, music or books that she really likes. Remember you live with this woman, give her a gift that says that you love her and know her, or you will pay the price later. All a women wants is to know that you have made the effort.
7. Husbands, is it sports, tools, new tech? they love it all, but again something very intimate that shows him it is specially for him from you telling him he is loved.
8. For your mums/dads, it is the same thing; it is not the big price tag the means so much, but the thought and effort that you put into it. Family movie, Photo album, and evening out or trip away, music or movie a new book. Get the kids to make them something that is a gift for everyone.
9: Ladies, your man wants to know how you feel about him too, so buy something practical because he will value the practical side of you, but also something sexy and a little off the wall so he knows that you still want to have fun.
10: In-laws are difficult to buy for, so play it safe, unless you know them well. Buy something Christmassy like a Christmas cake, bottle of good wine/brandy/champagne. Chocolates are great to give if they like the brand. Christmas decoration for the tree is good, so that they can remember you every year.Again a family video of the year, photos and a dinner certificate, Calendars also, they can have one in each room. Take heed of religious convictions and never buy anything that can offend.
11: Now when you give them their gifts and you hear, “ You should not have” always say, “ Of course I should, you are worth it.” And when receiving a gift, even if you don’t like it, always say, “thank you for the effort that you put into this gift, I feel very special”
12. Remember your neighbour, the senior on their own, the single family struggling, homemade gifts, like cakes jams art, calendars etc are wonderful especially when they come from the children and given with love and pride. Make a package from all the neighbours to these people so they know they are not alone and someone cares.
SET AN EXAMPLE AND GIVE A FAMILY GIFT TO SOMEONE IN NEED, THE GIFT OF GIVING. Give a gift of a Wheel Chair freewheelchairmission.org/donateand change someones life for the better.
No home unsure future, help out a Refugee and bring the meaning of loving humanity into the forfront. http://e-activist.com/ea-action/action/Canada give them some hope.
Homeless. Gift certificates for the closest grocery store, or restaurant, a package of socks, gloves, scarves, hats, toiletries, goodies, give them to them directly of if you know of a church or place where they feed them and they can hand them out. A note that you care will fill their hearts.
COURTESY it is one of our biggest assets, it cost nothing, but it goes a long way, and is always appreciated. So when someone this year has taken the time to make an effort to do something for you, feel appreciative, and acknowledge the time and energy that it took to such a thing, and be grateful that you are the recipient. If you cannot reciprocate in material things at least reciprocate in time and effort. Time is very valuable and this will always be appreciated.
REMEMBER THE HOMELESS, LONELY, FORGOTTEN, PETS, GIVE A GIFT OF LOVE, FOOD, CLOTHING, TREATS, CANDY, TIME AND RESPECT.
All of our shows/interviews are done by donation, if you enjoyed this show please support us here with either a one-time donation or subscribe and support, thank you. and please support Our Forgotten Children’s anthology and help to bring this book into production.
