    Stop by and say hello on The DotCom Musician Facebook page. Continuing from my exploration of different ways of recording a podcast, I decided to do a mobile podcast, something I've never done. I recorded and edited on my year old iPad. Post-recording notes: Anchor's editor is super basic and simple to use. At first, it didn't seem like my edits (just trimming the beginning and ending of the recording) but it just needed to be refreshed. After I almost gave up, I discovered the edited recordings were saved. The editor retains a copy of your original recording so if you mess up your edit, you still have a copy of the original to work from. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thedotcommusician/support

Mostly this one is an accountability report.... But I do mention an awesome teacher and go on about her about. Her name is Rachel Miller. I talk about her a lot - her thing is building audiences/customers on Facebook and organically (aka free). Here's a link to her website: RachelMiller.com. I don't know much about her other than the segments that she taught during the challenge I was in (more on that later) so I don't really know what programs and content she has on her site. I follow her on Facebook. She's so good! And she knows how to really, really break everything down so you understand the whole picture. Honestly, I don't know enough about her to I encountered Rachel in the One Funnel Away Challenge. This was my second time taking the challenge, which they totally revamped. Part of the revamping was adding Rachel Miller, who does a total of 4 or 5 days of training during the challenge. Her part alone is worth the price of admission several times over. If you'd like to check it on click here. Other potential takeaways: 1. Get your helpers (your folks who help you do your work faster) lined up before you need them. 2.

    3 Things You Need for a Lead Gen System

    Check out the last episode for more on lead magnets The 3 Parts to set up a Lead Generation System What is a Lead Generation System and why do you need one? Your lead generations system will help you build your email list and gather leads Your list is the backbone to your digital marketing Build a relationship with and serve your subscribers A list that you control. You can send an email at any time. If you can only access your audience through Facebook, for example, FB controls the list, not you. If FB shut down tomorrow, you would lose that audience if you do not have them on your own list Here are the pieces of this system: Lead magnet. This should be tightly related to the affiliate offer, so that anyone who wants your lead magnet will naturally want to buy the affiliate offer. Naturally, your lead magnet will include links to your affiliate offer. For example, if you're selling an in-depth course on learning to play drums, then you might create a lead magnet with “Top 5 Snare Drum Exercises” Ebook or report Video Audio Gear list or resource list Access to a private group An app or other tool And more Opt-in page (may also be called a landing page or lead page). This is a short sales letter – sometimes it's just a headline, a handful of bullet points and a call to action – which tell viewers the benefits of your lead magnet and why they should join your list now. Autoresponder series. This is a series of around five to seven emails that are related to the main offer and help you build a relationship with your subscribers. Each email is mixture of content and pitch. In keeping with the example of selling a drum course, your email series might be something like: “The Five Drumming Secrets of Famous Drummers”. Each email would include one of the secrets plus a pitch for the paid course. Be sure to promote your bonus offer when you promote your affiliate link. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thedotcommusician/support
