I am delighted to be a new member of this group and I have my first question.

I am delighted to be a new member of this group and I have my first question. Before I set up an interview for my life/career corner, I used to post the event and then post the interview I was about to do the day of the interview, so that meant two notices,  but I worried I was bombarding people with posts about my interviews instead of just providing useful information. What is this group's professional opinion? I went to do a hangouts on air last week and one person wrote that they wanted more advance notice than 10 minutes before an event so not sure what is best policy.

  2. Steffi Black As Rayne Dowell mentioned, there is no one  'best practice". I usually schedule mine 7 days ahead of time so people can prepare, comment,invite others, etc. Most of my events are set up using the Business-Hangouts App. with automatic reminders  sent (usually the day before and 15 minutes before - and sometimes including 3 days before).

    A lot also depends on what the subject matter is and how well you know your audience.

    One thing to remember...as a member of User2User-LIVE! your event will be promoted in the morning summary as long as I get an invite by midnight the day before the event. You are also free to share your event in the community but please do not invite the community - thanks.
