Fifteen minutes of fame and why you shouldn't trust the media
I had my fifteen minutes of fame this week as promised by Andy Warhol (actually it was closer to ten minutes so I am still owed five!). Yup, I reached the dizzy heights of participating in a live radio interview for the BBC on the subject of selling on eBay
To be honest, if it hadn’t of been the BBC, I probably wouldn’t have agreed to partake in the interview since the travel to the studio/preparation etc took up half a day and as I say, I was only on air for ten minutes. However, the fact was that it was the BBC and the producer agreed that I could get a mention in for one of my websites and of course, this would have meant some superb exposure at no cost.
Unfortunately, the whole experience turned out to be a lesson in dealing with the media as although I kept my half of the deal, the BBC didn’t and they made no mention of my website and prevented me from doing so also.
But am I bitter? Nah, course not, as I mentioned above, I am still owed another five minutes of fame and I won’t make the same mistake again
