4 Reasons Advertisers Should Police Affiliate Activity

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 06:12 PM PDT

As I was working on a presentation for one of my upcoming speaking engagements, I had to outline a few short, solid and sobering reasons why every advertiser who has an affiliate affiliate program...

SPI 064 : Podcasting for More Exposure, Leads and Money (My SMMW13 Presentation!)

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 11:44 AM PDT

The Smart Passive Income Podcast Logo

In this session of The Smart Passive Income Podcast, I re-record the live presentation I recently did at Social Media Marketing World, a conference that took place here in my hometown of San Diego earlier this month.

As many of you know, me and technology don’t get along very well during my public speaking appearances. Although there weren’t any technical issues that affected my presentation, someone apparently unplugged the recording device at the conference during my talk to charge their laptop or mobile device. So, my session was one of the only ones that was not recorded at the event.

Of course, lol!

On the bright side, this gave me the opportunity to re-record the session and tailor it just for those of you who listen to the podcast and read the blog. You’ll even get an insider view of some of the presentation techniques I used during my talk, since I did interact with the crowd and did some things during my session to further emphasize important points, which I can’t actually do during the podcast.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear me talk all about podcasting, more specifically:

  1. How to get more exposure to your podcast and
  2. How to get your listeners to take action.

Podcasting has become such an important and integral part of my overall branding strategy, so much so that earlier this year I decided to switch from publishing 2 podcasts per month, to 1 per week, a decision that has already proved to be well worth the extra effort. More and more people are discovering my brand through my podcast, and it continues to be the number one way that people discover me, more than SEO, Social Media, YouTube and links from other sites.

At the conference, it was even said during the opening keynote that podcasting is the hottest trend in content creation and social media right now!

If you are interested in starting your podcast, but you have yet to get around to it, I’ve made it really easy for you. You can check out my 100% free Podcasting Tutorial (no emails or opt-ins required) that has already helped hundreds of people already start their podcast.

During my talk, you’ll discover:

  • Why podcasting is the most powerful content delivery medium available today.
  • How to properly optimize your show to increase search engine rankings in iTunes (and Google).
  • 1 Tip about your podcast artwork that can change everything.
  • How to leverage other podcasts for more exposure to your own, even without being mentioned on those shows.
  • The formula for a high ranking podcast in iTunes.
  • How to get listeners to keep listening to your show, even if it’s over an hour long.
  • 5 Tips to keep people engage during your episodes.
  • How to get people to share your show with others.
  • How not providing show notes is actually hurting your show.
  • A secret strategy to get listeners to take action, even when they aren’t in front of a computer or mobile device.
  • Plus much more..

If you have a question you’d potentially like answered on the show, or just feedback in general (constructive criticism and praise is absolutely welcome!), feel free to visit my voicemail page to quickly and easily leave me a message.

Easy DIY Bike Rack and PVC Bike Rack [PILLAR POST] by Shawn of Texas Mountain Bike Trails

Awesome!

In total, there were 73 submissions, made up of the following:

  • 20 List Posts
  • 18 Pillar Posts
  • 12 Interviews
  • 11 Videos
  • 7 Story Posts
  • 4 Case Studies
  • 1 Mini-Product

A lot of the content has been viewed several times by their respective audiences, including some of the videos which have view counts between 6,000 and 12,000, and some of the posts have well over 50 comments!

I’ve also noticed some of you who have done interviews or created videos for the first time during this challenge got a little addicted to the process, and now you can’t stop.

Great job! Way to step out of your comfort zone and get stuff done!

The Winners

As mentioned in the previous challenge, I’m giving away 5 (five) $100 Amazon.com Gift Cards to 5 different participants in this particular challenge. Four go to random participants, and one goes to my favorite headline.

The random winners are:

  1. Steven Fox from Fox Day Trading
  2. John from Home Brew Manual
  3. One Frugal Girl from OneFrugalGirl.com
  4. Joel from Passive Machine

Congratulations! If you are a winner, you will get an email from me soon if you haven’t already!

My Favorite Headline

We all know how important a great headline is for our articles. It’s what people see first before choosing to read, and a great headline alone can generate more views.

There were a lot of headlines that stood out to me, however one stood out amongst the rest:

What I Learned About Blogging From the Naked Men in the Trunk of My Car by Rebecca of Professional Content Creation

Compelling, to say the least! Congratulations Rebecca!

The Next Challenge

Unlike the previous challenges, I’m not going to announce the new challenge here in this roundup post.

Why?

Because the next challenge is going to deserve its own post. I won’t reveal exactly what it is  orhow it’s going to work just yet (since I’m still working out the details), but think about this:

Niche Site Duel Round 2, an application process to become a part of a related “learning / mastermind group”, live tracking, and a whole lot more!

Excited yet? ;)

Congratulations again to all of the winners, and to each of the participants in this reader’s choice roundup post!

Cheers!

p.s. I’m so excited to announce that my book, Let Go, is currently the #1 Small Business and Entrepreneurship Book on Amazon! Click here to read it if you haven’t already now that it’s available on Kindle and Kindle App devices! Thank you all so much for your support!
