7 reasons to organise an online interview
Add a social chat interview to your website with Dilmot.com
On-line interviews or Q&A sessions are a proven on-line marketing tool that is being used by organisations across all sectors. In this social media era where instant communication is a must, putting together a big audience in front of your guest speaker in real-time is unique. Web interviews can be the perfect answer to that demand.
1. Speed: it can be set-up easily and quickly
Once you decide to invite the speaker, you will only need some bio data and a photograph to create the interview page where the questions will be received.
2. Low cost
No need to travel, no need to rent a space or complicate logistics. Everything will be done through the Internet.
3. Interview from anywhere
The location of your guest is not a problem, as well as the location of the audience. Bring together everyone in the virtual forum.
4. Questions can be moderated
No more concerns about what is correct and what is not. No more trolls or insults. Unlike many forums, on-line Q&A are moderated through an easy interface.
5. Translation of the interview
The interview can have an even wider reach when you have a translator that comfortably translates every question and answer in real-time, using an special translation mode provided in the Q&A application.
6. High quality content and excellent searchability
All the content generated by your guest and the audience will remain published in the website for further reference. It is optimised for seach engines and because it is fresh and focused it will help to better position your website altogether.
7. Community Management and social networks: Twitter, Facebook y Linkedin
Due to the interaction features, the work of your Community Manager can be leveraged by distributing links and accepting incoming questions originated in Facebook and Twitter. Once the interview is finished the answers can also be shared in vertical networks such as Linkedin.
¿Is this all folks? Well, we only wanted to give some quick shots of the benefits that on-line interviews can bring to you. If you would like to know more and give it a try please contact our team here.
New video to explain Dilmot online interview
We introduce you the new video to explain how to organize online and live interviews with Dilmot:
Receiving questions to the interview via Twitter hashtag
Get questions via a Twitter Hashtag into the Dilmot Q and A live session
We are pleased to announce a new feature in Dilmot that we believe will help you to broaden your reach and get more participation. Starting today it is possible to automatically receive questions sent via Twitter, using the #hashtag of your choice:
1. Decide the hashtag you want to use. E.g. #telediagnosis
2. Put the hashtag in the stream settings panel
3. Promote the hashtag. Probably the best way is to put it in your twitter account as well as in the interviewee account. Announcing it in your blog/website will surely add to it. E.g. “online interview with Ann Cox, send your question using hashtag #telediagnosis http://bit.ly/mxkFBv”
4. Give it a test! write a tweet with the hashtag and the question. E.g. “#telediagnosis what are the scenarios where it works best?”
5. In one minute it will show up in your question list within Dilmot.
Getting questions from a Twitter hashtag in your Dilmot Q&A
Notes and recommendations:
– It will work best if the #hashtag is not being used previously. You can check this by using Twitter search form: http://twitter.com/search-advanced
– The #hashtag can be placed anywhere in the tweet
– Before the interview starts, the app will “pick-up” the tweets every 10 minutes. Once the interview has started, this will be done every 2 minutes
– The tweets will be shown in the incoming questions panel and they can be moderated and edited like any other question. The icon will be linked to the Twitter user profile.
– It can be a good idea to add the link to the interview in the tweet “#telediagnosis what are the scenarios where it works best? http://bit.ly/mxkFBv”
We hope you like it! and don’t hesitate to let us know what you think about it. Opening an account in Dilmot is free, so we encourage you to try it out.
