2:30pm - Top 5 iPhone Media Commandments

SANY0015.JPGIf you are in line for an iPhone take heed to my Top 5 Tips before you babble to the media and look like an idiot. These tips will keep the media coming back for more of you.

1. Have a compelling story to tell (dont lie or exaggerate) just tell a creative story (i.e. who are you buying it for, Who will your 1st call be to?, ask urself whats the most creative way you can answer "Why are you here?")

2. Keep your comments short and concise. The shorter the comment the better your chances to make the cut and they'll feel comfortable coming back to you for concise updates

2. Don't act your shoe size - being all gitty, I mean giddy and overly excited - you may make the cut but you'll look like a complete idiot. Look Mom I'm an idiot and Im taking the family name down with me

4. Smile, Smile, Smile, - it comes thru in your sound and the way you look, plus tv likes happy people

5. Listen, Listen, Listen - pay attention to the question, can't tell ya how many times ppl give an answer that has nothin' to do with the question

Use these tips in the last few hours of the Ipone release and it will guarantee you airtime. GOOD LUCK
