  • It's been a tough few months since I launched the podcast.

    Partly because I was travelling and hadn't worked out how to keep the cadence of publishing going and also because just having podcast guests puts pressure on schedules.

    Solo episodes, like this one, are much easier to make. I can talk directly to you and share my thoughts and feelings, as well as tips, tricks and things that are aha moments.

    My digital marketing guests so far have been amazing.

    I've loved the conversations and am so thankful that they gave up their time to come and talk to me.

    Sure, they all mainly have their own things they are trying to achieve, whether it is book promotion, speaking promotion, new business.

    In this short solo episode I share how someone made me feel when they reviewed my digital marketing podcast on their show.

    I've flip flopped between being grateful and being annoyed about the feedback I got.

    But, now that I have made this episode, I can park it and move forward.

    There is a valuable lesson here for all of us in how and when you should give feedback and the impact it might have on the recipient.

    Please listen to the end, and do what I ask you to do.

    It's not for me.

    It's for you.

  • Thought I would jazz things up a bit and add in an extra "episode" with a short aha moment or tip while we work on pulling together the guest interviews for Wednesdays.

    This particular aha moment is about the Amazon Associates program and how members of the program can stop leaving money on the table when they post their content on YouTube, Instagram or anywhere else for that matter where the geographic location of your visitors can mean the difference between a big fat commission or a big fat duck egg.

    There is also a great story about Sean Cannell and Think Media, tea, biscuits and some bad decisions.
