The key to great expert interviews? It all starts with the right preparation.

In part two of our five-part series, host Amy Woods and Hayley Evans, Head of Marketing Operations and Client Account Management at Content 10x, break down how to plan, structure, and set-up expert interviews.

From selecting the right experts (and interviewers) to asking open-ended questions that lead to real insights, they share what it takes to set your interviews up for success – before you even hit record.

Amy and Hayley also explore how expert interviews fit into your content strategy and how upfront planning makes the whole process run smoother.

Find out:

  • How to align expert interviews with your content pillars and business goals
  • The two key ‘whos’ – who to interview and who should run the interview
  • Why choosing the right questions is just as important as choosing the right expert
  • How to help your interviewee feel prepared and confident with pre-interview prep
  • The must-do technical checklist: lighting, audio, internet speed, and more
