And while working in the city, I occasionally had to go to offsite meetings in a different part of the city, I went to office parties after work, got together with friends and colleagues for a couple of drinks on Fridays, I went to some entrepreneur and tech meetups, I even spoke at a couple of those meetups, and every single time, after the evening ended, I dreaded one thing and one thing only: Trying to get a cab to go back to Grand Central station, from where I would then take the Metro to go back to Ossining, where I lived at the time.<\/p> If you've ever lived or worked in a crowded city like New York city, you know how ridiculously hard it was as recently as barely 10 years ago to get a cab.<\/p> And if it was rush hour, just fuhgeddaboudit.

And then it came down to who the cab driver saw first, and it always felt like people who looked more wall-streety, more attractive, with formal or fancy clothes, somehow always seemed to get the cab ahead of me.<\/p> And this was a problem literally every day, for literally tens of thousands of people who were at a party or meeting or event, or simply were too tired to take the subway.<\/p> And I can guarantee you, 99% of them, at some point, wished so badly that they could press a button on their phone and get a cab.

You've got to have free episodes there, because that's what allows you to attract new listeners, and turn them into podcast subscribers, and then eventually, into paying members.

He had a mat spread out in front of him to collect donations.<\/p> For his 43-minute performance, he collected a whopping $32.17 from a total of 27 passersby.<\/p> Listen to the show for the rest.<\/p> https:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm<\/a>\u00a0<\/p> And if you need help growing your business, check out my coaching program at https:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/coaching\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n";

He is Peter Parker's uncle who gets killed by a burglar who is trying to escape after a robbery. So in the movie, Peter Parker, aka Spider Man, lets a burglar get away just a little bit earlier, and that same burglar ends up shooting and killing his Uncle Ben. And a dying Uncle Ben tells Peter, one of the most famous movie quotes ever. He tells him: With great power, comes great responsibility.<\/p> It's an amazing quote, no doubt.<\/p> But guess what? Uncle Ravi has a quote for you today, that's going to put Uncle Ben's quote to shame.<\/p> Listen online at https:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm<\/a><\/p>\n";

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " Part 2: Product First? Or Audience First? I talk about Strategy #2: Building an Audience First and THEN creating a product (ideally, productS) for that audience.<\/p> Which is WAY easier said than done.<\/p> And I'm also going to let you in on a little secret... that Strategy #1, which is Product First, Audience Next, and Strategy #2, which is Audience First, Product Next, are actually not mutually exclusive at all. You DON'T HAVE to choose just one or the other. You can actually do both. In fact, you MUST do both. But only in a certain order. And I'll talk about that in a second.<\/p> Now to give you better context, I have to say this real quick about Strategy #1. The cool thing about Strategy #1, is that once you've accomplished that, then Strategy #2 - which is building an audience first - becomes kind of moot, because now you already have an existing audience who have already bought your first product. So creating additional products for an existing audience is going to be a lot easier than finding or building a new audience.<\/p> I actually have a name for this: Go Deep, Then Wide.<\/p> So when you find a niche where you have already created a product and you're starting to build up an audience in that niche, it is a lot easier to go deep into that niche, than to go wide, and start coming up with new niches that are unrelated to that product.<\/p> Almost every single successful entrepreneur or company, almost always tends to go deep, before they go wide.<\/p> Listen online at https:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm<\/p>\n";

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " Product First or Audience First? A burning question for anyone starting an online business. And as much it might seem similar to the complicated \"Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg\" discussion, it's actually not all that complicated when it comes down to the core nature of these two strategies.<\/p> There is no simple one-size-fits-all answer here, so I'll try to break it down as best as I can, given my own experience selling a number of products online since 1998, and then add to that my experience coaching and consulting with clients since 2003.<\/p> There are basically two schools of thought when it comes to creating an online business. Each one involves a completely different strategy.<\/p> Strategy #1) You create a product first, and THEN find an audience for that product<\/p> Strategy #2) You build an audience first, and THEN create a product<\/p> Strategy #1 is basically to start with what skills and resources you have and create your product or service first based on your own knowledge and experience. And then you find an audience for what you've already created. And then you keep improving the product and extending it and then creating other products and services around your core product or core niche, as you get more feedback from current, past and future customers.<\/p> Strategy #2 is basically to first build an audience, that is hopefully big enough, hungry for a solution to a pain, can actually afford to pay for it, is easily reachable, and easy to work with. And then create something FOR that audience.<\/p> There are a lot of tangents I can go in when talking about some of these things - like how big of an audience do you really need? That really depends on what kind of a product or service you're selling.<\/p> If you're selling something for 1000 dollars, and your goal is 100,000 dollars, then you only need 100 clients. If you're selling something for 20 dollars, and your goal is the same 100,000 dollars, then you need 5000 clients. So I won't get into that discussion today, as I have that planned for a later episode.<\/p> For the purposes of today's discussion, I'm just going to stick to the two strategies: Build Product Then Audience, or Build Audience Then Product.<\/p> Listen online at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/p>\n";

If you have, then congratulations - you're among the minority of folks theses days.<\/p> And that's because most people are getting jaded by so-called \"webinars\", which are nothing but a pre-recorded video, with a long, drawn-out intro, where the presenter usually starts off really slow, welcomes users as if there are real users listening live, and sometimes it may actually be true - that it was probably a recording of an actual live webinar when there WERE real people listening. Either way, it usually takes about 10 minutes or so to get into the meat of the content. There's the obligatory self-praise in the beginning, showing some warm-and-cuddly family pictures with kids and pets, and vacation shots, and a bunch of \"see, this is why I'm cool\" type of accomplishments.<\/p> Honestly, most webinars are a waste of time because there's way too much fluff.<\/p> Have you ever been at a Karaoke party? I've been at many, especially holiday and New Year's parties. EVERYBODY thinks that they're rockstars, EVERYBODY thinks they've got an amazing voice. And the HUGE gap between their imagination and reality, is just mind-numbing.<\/p> And the problem with Facebook live videos is that most people think that they can just hit \"go live\" and start winging it. For the average person, doing a great live video that is interesting, fast-paced, offers value to their target audience, is still super hard. And what's worse, like the karaoke night, they don't know that their live performance sucks, that they may not have the talent, training or technique to pull of a live video, maybe they don't have the right equipment, and sometimes, let's admit it - some people are just not that interesting.<\/p> (listen to the show for the rest)<\/p> Listen online at\u00a0http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/a><\/p>\n";

So back then, if I wanted to learn something quick, I just went to Amazon and bought the best couple of books on the subject. So for promoting my book, I bought a book called \"1001 Ways to Market Your Books\". Back then, it had like a massive number of reviews, highly rated, lots of folks all over the web singing its praise. So naturally, I bought the book.<\/p> Long story short, there's a reason why it has 1001 ways to promote a book, because it lists every dang method there is, however basic, like Print a business card, Attend meetings and hand out your cards, Accept credit cards on your site, and so on.<\/p> Like me telling you, hey, if you want to promote your web site, I have 3 amazing tips for you. Ready? 1) Register for a free account on Facebook.com 2) Friend as many people as you can. 3) Post the link to your Amazon product page. BOOM. AWESOME SAUCE, right???<\/p> Nope, not very awesome. That's downright stupid. It's the most basic of basic things.<\/p> So if a list is showing you 1001 of ways of doing something, then that list is usually full of obvious things, and so watered down, that only 5% of it is actually going to be useful and impactful. I call it the 5\/95 rule. 5% of it is brilliant, 95% is blah.<\/p> That's how my new rule was born: My \"Brilliant-5, Blah-95\" Rule.<\/p> Other links:<\/p> Free Facebook Group that you can join to see behind the scenes of my membership site: http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/group\/<\/a><\/p> For the show notes or to listen to this episode online, go to http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/64\/<\/a><\/p> (listen to the show for the rest)<\/p> Listen online at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/a><\/p>\n";

And then they completely lose track of one critical piece to all of this.<\/p> When I say pricing table, I'm talking about your OFFER as a whole<\/p> So start with the pricing table FIRST. BEFORE you create any content, BEFORE you create any products, BEFORE you even design a landing page on your web site... the very first thing you should brainstorm and strategize, is your pricing table because everything starts and ends with your offer.<\/p> And you don't need a fancy theme or WordPress plugin to create a pricing table.

You're the guy who has a podcast about membership sites and recurring subscriptions, who talks about DOGPOO vs DOSAA\" (which stands for Do Once, get Paid Only Once, which is DOGPOO, and stinks.. versus DOSAA - Do Once, Sell Again and Again - so DOGPOO stinks and DOSAA rocks).

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " Welcome to Episode #60 of the SubscribeMe show from SubscribeMe.fm<\/a>, where I talk about creating membership sites & online courses, how to make, market and monetize digital content, the world of WordPress, and tools, techniques and tips that you can use to create a long term, profitable online business. I'm Ravi Jayagopal. I'm the creator of CoolCastPlayer.com<\/a>, a pretty yet powerful audio player and podcast player plugin for your WordPress site.<\/p> In today's episode, I'm going to give you a few reasons for both why you SHOULD and why you should NOT start a podcast.<\/p> You know how in shows and movies, someone walks up to a main character and says \"I have both Good news and bad news\", and the main character always says, \"give me the bad news first\". So that's what I'm going to do here as well, because, you know, you are the main character in this show.<\/p> So, first... Reasons why you should NOT start a podcast.<\/p> Audio is actually easier than video - at least, most forms of face-on-camera videos, because if you're going to be in the video, then you have to think about your clothes, hair, shaving, or makeup, lighting, are you going to do it indoors or outdoors. If you're doing it outdoors, are you going to use just natural sun light, if yes, then if you shoot for an hour or two, then you'll see the lighting differ in the final output because of clouds and the position of the sun itself changing, all of the outdoor noises that you have to consider because I don't know about you, but the second I walk into my backyard to shoot a quick 3 minute video, it feels like the entire universe conspires against me.<\/p> And my neighbor, who probably hasn't mowed his lawn in weeks, comes out of the blue and starts his lawn mower or leaf blower. Another neighbor down the street starts doing some construction work, all of the kids come out to play, especially the cute little ones with such high-pitched screams that only your dog can hear it. Of course, your mic picks up EVERY thing, including the A\/C unit in your own backyard going off all of a sudden. But think about how many talking-head or face-on-camera videos a typical person creates over their lifetime. Probably not too many, unless they're doing the occasional sales video for their web site.<\/p> That number is however tripling by the day thanks to Facebook Live and Instagram and Snapchat and what not. But still, that's still a very small percentage. Of course, there are those casual screencast and how-to videos which are actually easier to produce than a typical podcast, because of the long-term commitment that a podcast brings. So don't compare audio to the much harder selfie videos.<\/p> We're going to compare creating audio - or a series of audio files - as in, a podcast - we're going to compare creating a podcast all the mostly written-word blog posts and Facebook posts and Instagram posts and Medium posts that you would create.<\/p> So podcasting, in spite of what some people would have you believe, is actually way harder compared to most other form of content generation.<\/p> And then I also talk about all the reasons why you SHOULD start a podcast... like today!<\/p> (listen to the show for the rest)<\/p> Listen online at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/a><\/p>\n";

Brian has done some really cool stuff in the past.. like, he once pulled of a massive prank on his roommate using Facebook ads, which made his room mate completely paranoid, like... Will Smith in the movie Enemy of the state.<\/p> Reddit.com is one of the biggest social sharing site and online communities in the world, and is the 4th most visited site in the US and the 9th in the world. Reddit.com users are just brutally honest and educated and geeked out. They're super hard to impress, as much as a popup form on a web site is likely to impress someone in 2017.<\/p> But if you can post great content that is genuinely great, and there's no element of trickery or sales-pagery - if that's even a word - and they don't sense that you're trying to sell people something or trying to get them to sign up for something and there's no ulterior motives that they can sense in your content, then your content can go explosively viral.<\/p> But... if you can't link back to your site, if you can't get them to follow you back to your site so you can put them on your list or sell them something, what's even the point of posting on Reddit?<\/p> I asked Brian the exact same question, knowing that you would be thinking about exactly that too about Reddit. And the answers he gives on this interview, are absolutely worth 10x the price of your attention. And I am not exaggerating in the least bit, when I say, he's the most interesting man I've met in a very long time...<\/p> (listen to the show for the rest) Listen online at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/p>\n";

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " Have you ever visited JKRowling.com? JK Rowling, as you probably know, is the author of probably one of the greatest ever series of fantasy books, Harry Potter. And I'm guessing you have never visited her blog, or her web site, to buy her books. Have you ever visited GaryVee.com? Did you know his now famous WineLibrary.TV - which most people have probably never even heard of, but still probably know who GaryVee is - wouldn't have become popular if not for YouTube. And there would be no Gary Vaynerchuk if all he did was create his own self-hosted Wistia videos on his own site, and blog on his own site. That is the crazy new world of content marketing in 2017. Your web site, can no longer be the focus of your marketing efforts. Your web site is no longer the spearhead of your content marketing. Let me explain. The old model of content marketing was, to publish something on your own web site - whether it is a blog post, or a video, or a podcast - and then post a link to that piece of content on various platforms and web sites and try to get EVERYONE back to YOUR website in order to consume the full content, so that you can cookie them for retargeting, or make them join your list. So basically post a teaser everywhere, and they have to come back to your site to get the full scoop. That content marketing model is outdated for many reasons. People today spend a lot of time - and I mean, a LOT of time - on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat and YouTube. And they actually prefer to stay on those platforms to get their daily fix of news, entertainment, politics, sports, and cat-videos. The social platforms themselves are encouraging content that keeps their viewers within the platform, and they don't take kindly to outgoing links, doesn't matter if it is to your own web site. Have a video? Facebook wants you to upload it directly to Facebook, and not just post a link to the video on your site. In fact, I know this for a fact, that a video that is uploaded natively to Facebook, gets a ton more views, likes and comments, than a link that simply takes someone outside of Facebook back to, say, YouTube.com, or to a page on your site where you have a youtube or self-hosted video. Instagram doesn't even allow links within the body of a post. Instagram wants you to upload pictures and videos directly to Instagram, not just use Instagram as a way to get people to click to your web site.

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " Cross-Posting is NOT the same as Repurposing. Repurposing has completely different goals. It lets you take content you create in one medium, say you start with a written blog post, and then later on, over time, whether that is a few days or few weeks or even over a few months, reformat and restructure that content, maybe even recreate it from scratch for a different format, and then publish it on to various platforms or mediums. Repurposing is about leveraging your message. But cross-posting is leveraging your actual content, the actual format itself, and it is done in real-time, and is more useful for solopreneurs, or small businesses that don't have a dedicated social media manager or content marketer. The problem with repurposing is that it takes time and effort. So if I write a blog post, repurposing it into a video, or a podcast, is a completely separate project. So repurposing is basically transforming your content and adapting it for completely different media. But cross-posting is taking the exact same content - which is, Message, Photo, Call-to-Action, which was the title of episode at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/54\/<\/a> - and taking those 3 universal content marketing elements, and leveraging that across as many suitable platforms as possible.

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " \"Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly\", said Robert H. Schuller. I actually recommend cross-posting content, because this is not about \"perfection\". It's NOT about meticulously formatting content and making it perfectly native to each platform. Most people don't have the time for that. They just don't. Every platform has an \"Edit\" button - you can ALWAYS go in later and tweak the post to your heart's content. There's nothing wrong with editing your posts. I do this myself. Like adding shortlinks to my FB posts, removing some of those hashtags that came over from Instagram, because hashtags don't matter as much in Facebook. My cross-posting automation is about \"productivity, not perfection\". And I tell you how to set up IFTTT - If This Then That - to create this cross-posting. And ever since I started doing this cross-posting, I was able to create 20+ posts blog in April alone. And I'm not talking junk posts - I'm talking really useful content, VERY relevant to my target audience, and if someone went to my blog first, they'll no longer think wow, this guy last posted on his blog in August 2016, and before that in Jan 2016. So they won't think my blog is gotten outdated. There's useful content to consume. And it keeps my blog fresh in Google's perspective, creates lots of long-tail traffic because it has lots of keywords and real, non-spammy content, so it's all win-win.

This is not about twitter-bombing where you use a content scheduling tool like Edgar or Social Juke Box and just recycle content endlessly. All of that has its place too, when done the right way, in the right amount. I'll talk about social content recycling and scheduling and stuff in a different episode. But today's episode is about productivity. About leveraging your time. Your team's time. It's like setting off a mini social media snowball, where what you're doing picks up steam - picks up momentum, as it goes along. When I first posted this content on my own social networks, someone on Facebook said something about how this is not a good idea. I'll address that comment as well, and talk about the real purpose behind this funnel.

There will always be people who wouldn't mind paying more in order to get faster service, more access to you, premium access, front-of-line access to your products and services, so to speak. People are willing to pay more as long as they get a lot more value from the deal. So it's all in the offer. And how you package it. And how you position it. And how you present it. And of course, it's also in how you deliver it, and deliver on the promises, and keep delivering month after month, if you want them to keep paying you month after month. And don't be afraid to create bigger, more expensive packages, that gives people faster service, better access, direct access to you, or your team, better training, one-on-one calls, faster set up, more hand-holding, that will help them implement your products and services faster, with less headache, with a shorter learning curve, with better support, and faster support. So don't forget to create more \"Front of Line\" access offers. Don't be like Disney. Treating everyone the same and not allowing anyone to pay extra to get extra, is all find and dandy. But when it comes to business, your customers will pay to be pampered. That's what leads to a bigger bottomline and more profits for you, and also the happiest, easy-to-please and lowest-overhead customers, who will happily pay extra, to get extra, and they will also be the ones to praise you and recommend you the most.

So I asked him if he can create a solo segment for this show, and for you and all other future podcasters, and I wanted him to tell you first hand, about his experiences with being a first-time podcaster, and also talk about his full workflow, and take us from the time he comes up with an idea, to the time he publishes it and it goes live on iTunes. Just so you know, he does all of this, end to end, all by himself, with absolutely no help from anyone. And I also talk about my favorite tools and services that I use in my business.

The more incoming links you have, the more \"popular\" Google believes your web site to be, and the higher your site shows in search results. Sure, \u201cdo-follow\u201d is better than \u201cno-follow\u201d. But no-follow links are still way better than no links at all! And that's where having an in-house affiliate program - like the built-in affiliate module that DigitalAccessPass.com (DAP) comes with - can be such a HUGE advantage over, say, a third-party affiliate program like with ClickBank.<\/p> Now, there definitely are some advantages to using a third-party affiliate program like ClickBank - like getting access to their built-in network of affiliates. But remember that just because you sell through ClickBank does not mean you're going to get all of them - or even most of them - to promote your product. You will still need to promote your program to recruit any of them. So I don't recommend using ClickBank just because you think all those affiliates will promote you. There are other real benefits to using ClickBank, which I will be addressing in an upcoming part of this affiliate series.<\/p> So, unless you're already making 5 or 6 figures a month, having an in-house affiliate program can give you a huge advantage.<\/p> Then I talk about Refunds and Clawbacks.<\/p> (listen to the show for the rest)<\/p> Listen online at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/p>\n";

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " An affiliate program is the lowest hanging fruit that you can grab without even stretching your arms. Like, you can grab this even if you were 4 feet tall. And it always amazes me why EVERY SINGLE business does not have one. Another thing that amazes me, is that people will spend months and months on the technology and all the tricks and tactics in the book, but they won't spend a darn minute on thinking - how the heck am I going to market this thing and get people to come to my site, read my sales page, click on a buy button and actually agree to give me real money! And in the case of a membership site, you want them to voluntarily sign up to automatically give you money again and again, month after month. The hardest thing in the world is marketing and converting visitors into buyers, and buyers into members. Yet people will spend literally 90% of their time tweaking buttons and colors and how many upsells they need to have, and trying to get the fanciest of fancy CRM and funnel building and email marketing tactics. The EASIEST thing in the world is to add an affiliate program to your business. It's so easy to do, that it actually kills me to see most people not even giving it a few seconds of thought. And I don't want you to make the same mistake. So be sure to listen to this entire series about having your own affiliate program. Now, one of the biggest features you need from your affiliate software, is that it has to make it super simple for new buyers to become an affiliate.

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " Just in case you are not familiar with this term, this is where, a seller - take my own business for example, at DigitalAccessPass.com. You can sign up to become an affiliate. Then you get a special link that you can promote on social media, to your email list, on your blog, even on your podcast. And if someone visits your special affiliate link, they are redirected to our web site, and a special browser cookie - a small piece of code that all web sites use - is set on that person's browser, tagging them as having been referred by you. And then, if they later go on to purchase any products from DigitalAccessPass.com, then you become that buyer's affiliate, and you can earn up to 33% in affiliate commissions. So if they went on to buy something for a 100 dollars, then if the commission for that product is 33%, then you get 33 dollars credited to your account. And then, once a month, we pay out commissions for all past purchases that happened before the last 60 days. Now, we pay only after 60 days, because payment processors like Paypal give a buyer up to 60 days to ask for a refund. So once the buyer is past the refund period, we pay out any commissions due to you. Don't worry if this affiliate program sounds a bit complicated, especially if you've never had your own affiliates before, but just know that DAP - or DigitalAccessPass.com - automates the whole process for your affiliates, for the buyer and for you, as the site owner. Affiliate marketing is nothing new. Amazon.com built their entire business in the early years from allowing affiliates to promote their products on their web sites, and giving them the ability to earn commissions on any sales that are generated through their referral. At DigitalAccessPass.com (DAP), we have built our entire business without any kind of Google-gaming. Not that we don't care about Google. Of course, we do. We even used to have a few ads running on AdWords - we no longer do - we stopped running them about a year ago. No paid ads, no SEO gaming, no fake blogs or link farms. On rare occasions, we do some link building, but it's all totally white-hat and Google-approved stuff. Most of our customers find out about DAP through a review article online, someone recommending it via email , or a post in an online online. So we have never had to worry about Penguin, Panda or any other cute animals :-). So how did we do it? (listen to the show for the rest) Listen online at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/p>\n";

I've bought and read every single one of his books - and most of the ones I bought were real paperback books, not just some Kindle download.

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " HBO, Netflix, licensing more than just content, and the Publisher or Marketplace Model.<\/p> One of the most famous content licensing example is HBO, or Home Box Office, and over time, others like Showtime and Netflix have also joined this category.<\/p> For a long time, these companies were just paying a licensing fees for movies and tv shows and documentaries produced by other people. For eg., HBO pays the producers of a movie a bunch of money which gives them the rights to play that movie on their platform for a certain duration of time. So, previously, they would just pay some cash upfront, and then HBO got it back from their millions of paying members who subscribe to their channel via their cable network. And then, at one point, HBO figured out that it has the cash to create it's own content. So it started producing its own TV shows.<\/p> And last year, HBO launched HBOnow and HBOgo, which offer the content direct to consumers via their own web site. And that's how I myself watch HBO - watch it entirely through their web site hbonow.com. And my Apple TV also has an app for that.<\/p> How did they get me to subscribe?

If you see some of the most aggressive offers on the TV show Shark Tank, you'll see that the sharks want their money back and also a royalty. You can see this with some of the bigger movie stars, where they get a paycheck for the movie, as well as royalties. Like the recently released Deadpool movie, starring Ryan Reynolds.

Obviously, everyone knows it's not the dummy that is speaking, so it's critical that you have a funny script and a good sense of timing, and you can make people easily suspend reality, and actually start to look at the dummy entirely when you are speaking.<\/p> Back in 2006-2007, when I was still renting DVD's from a video store called \"Blockbuster\" - remember those days? Yeah, barely a few years before that I used to rent cassette tapes! Oh my god. VCR. There's something I never thought I would hear again, and worse yet, hear myself uttering those 3 letters! If you're too young to know what a VCR is, I'm hoping you're old enough to know how to Google stuff! So Google it!<\/p> Anyway, back then, I watched a movie called Dummy, starring Adrian Brody. It's about this really introverted, unemployed, depressed guy, who has major social issues. And one day he discovers that he has a knack for ventriloquism. It's a really cute, feel-good movie. And at the end of the movie, as part of the DVD extras, they show the ventriloquist who helped Adrian Brody with the vent skills and the dummy scenes and the dummy humor and stuff. Turns out, the guy is the world famous ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham. And he goes on to show behind the scenes with the dummy, and even gives a quick ventriloquism tutorial on how to pronounce words without moving your lips, timing, the script etc. That's it - I... was... hooked.<\/p> Listen to the episode for the rest of the story.<\/p> Listen online at http:\/\/SubscribeMe.fm\/<\/p>\n";

Forums and Discussion groups are a great way to get your members communicating with each other, creating great discussion threads and contributing great online content that search engines love, and can bring you a lot of organic traffic, even if they are sometimes of the long-tail variety. Facebook groups are easily one of the most popular forms of online forums today, for connecting and networking with others in your niche. But online forums have been around forever, starting with the now-extinct eGroups which became so big and so popular, that it was bought by Yahoo and renamed to Yahoo Groups - this was in the late 90's. In the online marketing space, there are popular forums like WarriorForum.com, DigitalPoint Forums and Sitepoint Forums. And there are several \u201canswers\u201d forums like Quora.com and Yahoo Answers. And I am willing to bet, that you have probably run into a forum answer at some point when searching for information on Google. It happens to me all the time, where a top 2 or 3 search result is from an online forum of some sort. That's how powerful the SEO potential is with forums.

By interviewing other people!<\/p> Think about that for a second: Of all the athletes, actors, authors, scientists, medical professionals, entertainers, business icons and celebrities who she interviewed on her show \u2013 would you EVER consider Oprah an expert in any of those subjects at all? Was she as good at any sport as all those athletes who came on her show? Was she as good a writer as those authors who she interviewed? In fact, she created more best-selling authors than anyone else in this world! But would you consider her any expert in any of the topics on which her guests spoke?

tempEpisode.podcast_episode_description = " Some of the best membership sites I\u2019ve been a member of, offer content in multiple formats. The first thing you have to accept - is that recycled or re-purposed content is NOT low quality content. It's mostly a psychological barrier that you have to overcome. And remember, your followers are not following you on every channel. So re-purposing can be HUGE when it comes to content marketing as well, and not just for membership content. Let me give you my own example of content re-purposing... (listen to the episode for the full story) But that also brings us to what I call the Gary Vee Conundrum. So let's take a single module from an online video course that has the video itself on a page, along with links to the audio version as well as a transcription in PDF format, on the same page. Some members like watching videos, others prefer skimming through a written article or PDF and highlighting or making notes of parts that they find important. And there will be others (like me) who prefer to listen to audio while out on a run, or while doing household chores (suddenly, doing the dishes ain\u2019t so bad no more!). Re-purposing content can add great value to your existing members, because they can choose what format to consume the content in. So let's say you're good at writing. let\u2019s start with a blog post. (listen to the episode for the full story)<\/p>\n";
