Radio Remote Promotion
DJ Remote
Presenting a DJ or radio station remote to promote your business can bring instant attention.
Of course everything with me is a long story – which is helpful if you are a blogger and annoying if you are a husband.
I have gone to that grocery store sometimes two times a week for ten years and other than the donut shop and the liquor store I could not tell you about the other fifteen retailers in that strip center.
One day I went to the liquor store to pick up a handy six and boom boom tish boom boom pow rock and roll was howling in the air. Turns out there was a jewelry store and a mobile phone store giving up their parking spaces to a disc jockey from a local radio station.
It drew a crowd and was a win win for the stores, the station and me.
Here is how to make a success of a DJ remote event.
1. Plan it thirty days in advance.
2. Get necessary permits from your city.
3. You might think that you have enough tech and enough power to hold your own at a decent sized party with your own equipment – but you don’t. Rent and spare no expence for quality equipment.
4. Do you know someone who is funny? Invite them to speak. Include everyone you know who can entertain, whether you like them or not – you are bringing the fun.
5. Hand out business cards, flyers and media for this client and all the other clients you might manage.
6. Can you get a couple of $50.00 or $100.00 gift cards from the jewelry or the phone store? If so, engage with the audience and have a contest. Here’s an idea for a contest.
Ladies and gentlemen, I hold here a genuine certified gift card for the handsome some of fifty American dollars! This amazing prize is up for grabs to any of you in the audience who can walk up here, grab this microphone and tell us a joke that – And this is a deal breaker – that makes us all laugh!
The first guy gets up and tells a stupid joke and everyone groans and he slithers back to his seat in shame. The second guy tells a funny joke we’ve all heard before and we kind of want to laugh but we don’t want him to get a $50 dollar gift card that we could have gotten telling the same joke. The DJ says “No laughs – my card! Just then a lady comes up and grabs the mic and tells a joke about her covering her check engine light with nail polish, her ass-hat boyfriend and being “a real girl” in a chatroom and everyone’s on the floor.
Test the limits of this neighborhood, but be respectful, audio, video, jokes But.
7. The police might tell you to shut it down at a certain time and WILL shut you down after that and that’s OK.
8. Shut it down.

The [expletive promotions] Celebrity Interview Omar Wysong
The [expletive promotions] celebrity interview
Welcome Omar, thank you for the interview. You are the first in a series of [expletive] promotions Celebrity Interviews.
📖 thank you for having me for this interview.
Before we get into the artistry of you as a sculptor, our crack research staff happened upon your IMDb movie credits. What was your experience like participating in motion pictures?
📖 it was a really great experience. I grew up watching Classics with my old man so I developed an early appreciation for Film, I attended the Los Angeles City College theater Academy where Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Mark Hamill attended once upon a time in Hollywood, lol. So once completing the Academy I started to audition and landed some parts on stage, television and film which was an amazing experience.
Leaving no stone unturned, we also found out at one point you were an accomplished skater. Was that a hobby, profession… both?
📖 Now we are going back haha, yeah I initially came out to San Francisco at 17 years old with $100 from Dayton Ohio to pursue a professional skate career which I did for about 8 years eventually solidifying myself as a Los Angeles street skater. I did the rounds of skate videos tv shows espn fox sports, magazines had pro wheels, sponsors and was constantly on tours around the country living a sort of “pop nomadic” lifestyle. Getting paid to skate and travel through my late teens and early 20s was definitely a dream come true but did have its shares of ups and downs and was overall an amazing learning experience.
We read that you were self taught, an autodidact in sculpting. Were you young when you were inspired to make art from metal? “Omar? Are you playing with fire again?” “No Ma, I’m fusing materials! ” Something like that?
📖 well I never thought of being a visual artist. I kind of just stumbled upon it. I started by selling art at farmers markets and swap meets and soon moved onto craigslist and boutique stores around Los Angeles. A few years in I started to sell on Etsy and developed my own website from there, it was just a learning experience, trial and error, lots of burns, lacerations and tears lol. The southwestern culture and deserts have been my main inspiration, as well as urban and abstract tones. I like things to have a distressed ancient feel to them giving character and a nostalgic Southwestern vibe. And sometimes I’d like to go completely in an abstract and urban direction. Sometimes depicting urban decay and maladies. I like my work to have a raw feel to them.
You really aren’t in dire need of promotion. I just asked for the interview because I love your work and wanted to class things up a little here at “plug alley”. Was it your initial strategy to build an audience using social media? Or did it just happen organically?
📖 it was not my initial strategy. I am a bit old-school and not that tech savvy so it took much self convincing to open up social media profiles and devote energy and time into posting and advertising my work. It was definitely a learning process that at times was frustrating, but sometimes you just have to muscle through it, ha ha.
Looking at your creations (here’s a few images for our readers) I like the catering truck and the guitar sculptures, but that’s just me. Do you just see random things and recreate them? are they requests? How do you come up with these ideas?
📖 Well, thank you for checking out my work! Yes, I do get a lot of inspiration from what I see especially in city and desert environments. I spent a lot of time in the streets so pieces like the taco truck or guitar are definitely culture inspired flavors that I picked up along the way. I definitely always have a pen and a pad to take note of things that pop out of me. Journaling is a major part of my process and is something I can not – not do on a daily basis. “Take Knowtz” one of my old skate company philosophies, it has always stuck with me.
let’s say someone sees your work from a social media posting, or featured article from somewhere and wants to own an Omar Wysong creation now? What’s the best way for them to – let’s say – “shop” on line?
📖 you can hit me up on my Instagram @omar_wysong “DM” for custom or specific works or shop my line of sculptures Topanga Patina via my website Topangapatinaarts.com.
I see you shoring some things up, in sports it’s called a “rebuilding year” Are you planning an online store, or maybe re-opening a brick and mortar studio/shop/workspace/gallery like you had with Topanga Patina ?
📖I’ve had my online store for almost a decade but had it recently down for an update and a self searching period that I embarked on this last year but we are now up a running, thank the Lord!
Last two segments for the Omar Wysong Celebrity Interview and all interviews going forward.
“You heard it here first – Exclusive message to the world” The floor is yours.
📖. I just want to thank God for every day he gives me. God is my ultimate inspiration. And just want to say that all of you are so important and special. God bless you all. Take Knowtz.
And finally the wildly popular [expletive.pro] Celebrity Interview comment fodder “Final Four”.
1. Favorite movie 2. Favorite song 3. Favorite artist of any kind who creates or created anything. 4. Words you live by. – GO!
📖1.Serpico 2. “In My Life” The Beatles 3. St. Joseph 4. Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
Thanks Omar, it’s been a pleasure 🙏
