If your interview is about breeding rabbits and you are talking to an internet marketer, as many questions as you can ask in an hour. In other words, how long is a piece of string? |

You might not like what I say - but I believe it. Build it, make money, then build some more Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies! | |

Yes, seems to me that this would be a case of... prepare as many questions as you can. Think of roughly how many questions you could do in an hour, then double it! And I'd think you should be in hang-loose mode. Meaning be prepared to follow up any response your interviewee makes that promises to be informative and interesting. Could be you'd only need 1-2 questions? Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Hope this helps, Dot |

Definitely have loads more questions than you think you can get through so you can pick and choose. It's far better to run out of time than questions. Plus make sure you send the interviewee the questions in advance and get their thoughts about it. They can give you the best indication of how long they can talk about the topics. |

Prepare about 10 questions...or more if you want. What matter most for an interview is we have to really catch and understand what the interviewee is sharing. Most of the time, new questions will pop up on the spot when we ask them to elaborate more, clarify what they have said, give specific examples and so on. Cheers, John |

About 8 to 10 questions are a good point for an hour because you want to leave room for when your speaker goes off on a run that might take some time. I did a training call with five questions that took over 1:30 minutes because I listened and tweak my question along the way... --David |

Oh, and remember if you're going to do any editing make sure to record a chunk more than you need.

I have done lots with TV, and what usually happens is the host writes about 15 questions for an hour, but the conversation takes a turn and they don't get to ask some. So, it would be best if you could do your best to predict all the ways the conversation could turn, and write additional questions for that as well.

My experience says, like others above, 8-10 is a good number. However, remember that some interviewees are more long-winded than others. Prepare an additional 5 questions that you can use just in case you run out of your primary questions (these could be in the form of follow-up questions, if necessary).
