Hey, here’s a subtle Squeal most people don’t pick up on. “You’re doing good enough, no need to lock me down in my Cage any further” says your Inner Pig(tm).

“Don't get distracted by areas where you can't be the best. Focus. Evaluate your process and have the discipline to remove the activities or efforts that aren't getting you closer to achieving your goals.” - Good to Great Have you ever wondered how good can become great? Is it a random chance, or is there some common thread among the individuals or companies that were able to make the leap from good to great? These are some of the questions we'll be exploring in today's episode, as we discuss Good to Great: How some companies make the leap and others don't, a best-selling book written by Stanford professor Jim Collins. On this first episode of the Books Made Me Do It podcast, Catherine sits down with her guest (and mom!), executive leader Julie Tremblay, at Crew Collective Café in Montreal to talk about what factors, in her experience, can move a company from good to great and why this book, in particular, has had such an influence on her career, life and leadership style. Visionary leader, Julie Tremblay has held senior positions for over 20 years, including as President and CEO, COO and Vice President of HR within the Quebecor Group.

Why wait to be GREAT? How long has it already been? We all have dreams, desires, and a longing to be great at something. It all counts for nothing if we’re not doing anything about it. We already have everything we need inside of us, it’s just a matter of taking action! Maybe it’s those new years resolutions you’ve been neglecting, or could it be that you wrote them down in your diary, hidden away from the world. Or could it be sitting on your computer , marked “list of things to do.” For most people the problem isn’t lack of a plan, it’s simply not holding themselves accountable. The truth is you deserve to be great. You deserve to live a #NewBOLDLife! The key for both you and I is to take one small actionable step each and every day. This is what makes it a journey. Let’s #makeithappen Let’s get there together!

Trying to come up with a suitable name for your book or info-product seems like a nightmare What if you’re wrong? What if the name isn’t well received? However, there’s a way to make your book really stand out. And guess what? It’s not the title that matters. It’s the sub-title. Find out why we’ve been tackling things the wrong way and how to get a superb name for your book or information product/course before the day is done. -------- In this episode Sean talks about Part 1: Why your crappy name will bury your book/information product. Part 2: The critical role of the subtitle and what makes it stand out. Part 3: How to use a title and then add random interesting sub-titles. -------- My friend, Karen, was about to have her first child. As you’d expect, she was a bit apprehensive but also quite joyful. One of the reasons why she was so excited was the whole process of giving a name to her soon-to-be child. She had half a dozen books on “naming the child”. While we were visiting, we had a little conversation about the naming process and she went into a lengthy explanation about how she intended to name the child. Of course, I expected her son to have an interesting name. Several months later when I ran into Karen online, I asked her the name of her son. “Jack”, she said. “Jack?” I responded almost incredulously. “You went through all of those books, and all you could find was, Jack?” “Yes,” she said. “I was going to find a fancy name when I ran into an article that asked me to go to the doorway and call of the name of the kid 20 times in a day. It seemed easy to shout out “Jack”, then something like “Bertrand, so “Jack” it was. And that is how my friend, Karen named her first born. Your “firstborn” might need a slightly different process. Especially if your firstborn is a book – and you are called upon to name the book. This is where we go slightly mad. We’re not really sure how to name our products. Which is why this article is all about learning a structural method that will help you name your products. We will look at books or information products that already exist, and see how they have gone about the process. We will also take a look at what we’re doing at Psychotactics and how even when we understand the concept, we tend to get it wrong. Well, sometimes you can just get lazy. What are we going to cover? 1  Why your crappy name will bury your book/information product 2  The critical role of the subtitle and what makes it stand out? 3 how to use a title and then add random interesting sub-titles. All of these three steps are part of the journey that we need to take the name our information product. As always we need to start at the top, and that takes us to the first topic. 1) Why your crappy name will bury your book/information product. The list you see below are the successive names given to a single book. The author tried repeatedly to come up with a great name, but these were the names he came up with—despite putting in a great effort. See if you like any of the names. – The Parts Nobody Knows – To Love and Write Well – How Different It Was – With Due Respect – The Eye And the Ear. Have you heard of any of these books? Possibly not, because they never made it to the bookshelf. And the author, a “certain guy” called Ernest Hemingway, died before the book’s title was finalised. So what was the name of the book that made it to the shelves? It’s called “A Moveable Feast”. “A Moveable Feast” caught the attention of the editors and then the readers and became a bestseller (and has stayed high on the ‘books to read’ list). But it could have easily been dead in the water, with a title like “With Due Respect” or “The Eye and the Ear”. As it appears, it’s not enough to just write a great book—you can kill your book with a lousy name. So how do you name your books? The simple answer is to make it curious. And how do you make it curious? You use both the title and the sub-title to dramatic effect, that’s how. But let’s not start with the title and take on the sub-title instead. In fact, let’s take a few good (and bad examples from the Psychotactics stable itself). As it appears, it’s not enough to just write a great book—you can kill your book with a lousy name. Title: The Brain Audit Sub-title: Why Customers Buy (And Why They Don’t) So is the title interesting? Yes, it’s interesting at once. We’re terribly interested in anything to do with the brain, and so in a sea of books, a name like The Brain Audit stands out immediately. But that’s where the sub-title comes in. Would you know if The Brain Audit was a medical text or a book on calisthenics? It would be hard to tell, right? If you look up Amazon.com for books that have the term “Brain” in it, you get a range of books including one called “The Brain That Changes Itself”, “Brain Rules”, “Brain on Fire” and you can’t really tell which one is a business book and which one isn’t. And that’s where the sub-title comes into play. So yeah, that sub-title worked. Time to choose another, eh? The second product we take a look at is a course on Uniqueness. At Psychotactics, we have a homestudy version on “how to make your company stand out in a crowded market place”. So what’s the name of the information product? It’s called: Title: Pick One Sub-Title: Getting to Uniqueness Did that sub-title excite you? If the answer “NO” comes to mind, you’re on the right track. So now that we’re decimating the crappy sub-titles, let’s go digging further and find out some more that could do with improvement. Let’s look at a set of three books that were written on the topic of presentations. Title: ‘Black Belt Presentations’ Sub-title: No sub-title. Ugh. In fact, while we’re here, let’s list at least a few of the products and see why some products are easier to sell than others. And why the sub-titles make such a difference. Title: Be Kind, Be Helpful or Begone Sub-title: How To Build A Powerful, Community-Driven Membership Website Title: Attversumption Sub-title: The strategy behind attraction, conversion and consumption Title: Website Components Sub-title: No sub-title. Title: The Secret Life of Testimonials: Sub-title: Simple, Powerful Techniques to Get Better Clients-And Sales Title: The Power of Stories Sub-title: How to Turn Average Stories into Cliff-Hangers Title: Chaos Planning Sub-title: How ‘Irregular’ Folks Get Things Done Title: Client Attractors: Sub-title: How To Write Benefits, Features and Bullets That Speed Up Sales Title: Design Clarity in Minutes Sub-Title: How to put some sanity into your design with some really simple tweaks Title: How Visuals Help Increase Sales Conversion On Your Website Sub-title: No Sub-title. Now as you scan those names, you can quickly tell which of the sub-titles work and which don’t You can also tell that those without sub-titles aren’t well thought through, or definitely hampered by the lack of the sub-title. So let’s just stop for a second and see what we’ve covered: •            That the title matters •            But first we must pay closer attention to the sub-title •            That it’s easy to get lazy or rushed and forget to put in the sub-title •            That some sub-titles don’t work as well as they should Which brings up the question: Is there a simple way to write a sub-title? And the answer is yes. You can indeed create great sub-titles every single time. Let’s find out how. Part 2: What makes a sub-title stand out? So we’re clear. We all put our hearts and souls into creating a title for our books and products—but yes, the sub-title is often the one that draws us in. So how do we go about creating this sub-title? The easiest way is to jump right in and create. So what’s the simplest formula possible? There is no ONE formula. And rightly so, because that would make every sub-title boring. Instead let’s look at just two. Method 1: Headline-type of sub-title Method 2: Problem, solution, target Then let’s head over and pluck out a few bestsellers, shall we? Method 1:  Headline-type of sub-title Let’s first look at what they’re all about and then put in a sub-title that reads just like a headline. a) LEAN IN, by Sheryl Sandberg with Nell Scovell: The chief operating officer of Facebook urges women to pursue their careers without ambivalence. Title: Lean In Sub-title given: Women, Work and the Will to Lead Sub-title: How Women Can Forge Ahead In Their Careers Faster Than Ever Before Sub-title: The Untold Story of One Woman’s Career Surge (And How You Can Do It Too) Sub-title  Why Women Need To Pursue Their Careers Without Ambivalence b) THE ONE THING, by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan: Narrowing your concentration and becoming more productive. The second book has already done the work for us. Title: The ONE. Sub-title given: The surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results Sub-title: How to narrow your concentration and become more productive Sub-title: The keys to narrowing concentration and increasing productivity. c) GIVE AND TAKE, by Adam M. Grant: A Wharton professor’s research discloses that success depends on how we interact with others. The third book has a vague sub-title but let’s work on it. Title: Give and take Sub-title given: A revolutionary approach to success Sub-title: How People Interaction Creates a Quicker Road to Success d) THE POWER OF HABIT, by Charles Duhigg: A Times reporter’s account of the science behind how we form, and break, habits. And the next two books follow as well. Title: The Power of Habit Sub-title given: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business Sub-title: The Quiet Secret to Making Habits Stick Forever Sub-title: How Habits Rule Us (And How To Break Bad Ones Forever). Sub-title: How to Make Good Habits Out Of Bad Ones Just adding a headline to your sub-title makes the book stand out. It almost doesn’t matter what the title happens to be. Well, not quite true. The title matters, but it’s the sub-title that can be made to do the grunt work.  But writing headlines for your sub-title is not the only way. You can have sub-titles with the familiar formula found in The Brain Audit.  And that is the problem and solution combo. String them together and you can pretty some pretty outstanding sub-titles for your book. If we were to take the subtitles of the book that we have just looked at, and put in the problem-solution formula, you would get some pretty interesting subtitles. Let’s give it a crack, shall we? The total for The Brain Audit is “The Brain Audit” but what is the subtitle? The subtitle has a problem and the solution. It goes like this: “why customers buy (and why they don’t). And that’s a problem and solution strung together. Method 2: Problem, solution, target Let’s look at the subtitles of the books we just brought up and let’s see how they too could work with subtitles that incorporate the problem and solution. a)LEAN IN, by Sheryl Sandberg with Nell Scovell: The chief operating officer of Facebook urges women to pursue their careers without ambivalence. Problem: Doubt/Ambivalance Solution: Move ahead Target audience: Women My Journey Through Career-Doubt—And Beyond b) THE ONE THING, by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan: Narrowing your concentration and becoming more productive. Problem: Concentration issues Solution: Beat the issues Target audience: People who have trouble concentrating The art of beating concentration issues (and becoming more productive) c) GIVE AND TAKE, by Adam M. Grant: A Wharton professor’s research discloses that success depends on how we interact with others. Problem: Lack of success Solution: Success through interaction Target audience: People who want to succeed The Hidden Secrets of Interaction (And How Successful People Use Them Well) d) POWER OF HABIT, by Charles Duhigg: A Times reporter’s account of the science behind how we form, and break, habits. Problem: Form/break habits Solution: Form/break habits Target audience: People who want to form/break habits How To Turn Bad Habits Into Good—And Make Them Stick As you have just heard, you can quite easily use the problem and the solution to create subtitles. So w hat have we covered so far? We looked at the power of subtitles vs titles. And subtitles pack so much punch. You can create your subtitle by writing a headline or you can use the problem and solution to create a subtitle that is just as effective. However, just to prove it is the subtitle and not exactly the title that does all the grunt work, let’s change the subtitles of some very well known books. Example: Good to Great Good to Great: How to turn your potatoes into twice the size, overnight. Good to Great: The Secret to Non-Boring Garden Landscaping Good to Great: How Indonesia turns out an endless array of badminton champions Good to Great: The Story of Singapore Airlines’ Profitability Good to Great: Why Turkey Is The Second Fastest Growing Economy In The World Good to Great: Why Bacteria Is Winning The War Against AntiBiotics. Blue Ocean Strategy: How to turn your potatoes into twice the size, overnight. Blue Ocean Strategy: The Secret to Non-Boring Garden Landscaping Blue Ocean Strategy: How Indonesia turns out an endless array of badminton champions Blue Ocean Strategy: The Story of Singapore Airlines’ Profitability Blue Ocean Strategy: Why Turkey Is The Second Fastest Growing Economy In The World Blue Ocean Strategy: Why Bacteria Is Winning The War Against AntiBiotics. Of course it won’t work for every single title. For example, if you took the name like The Brain Audit and put any sub-title, it wouldn’t work. But these examples are to show you that the title, for the most part, is not the crazy holy grail that you’re looking for. It’s nice to have a great title. But it’s a better strategy to have an even better sub-title. Which brings us to a moment of utter clarity. The sub-title matters. That’s what really gets the attention of the customer both in the book store, on Amazon or on your website. Without the sub-title, we’re handicapping the book or info product. And yet so many of us (me included) have quite easily placed our emphasis on the title, and ignored the sub-titles. Well, now you know… So is the title of any use after all? Yes it is. But should you go nuts trying to get a great title? No you shouldn’t. The cartooning course we have is called the DaVinci course. Is that a great title? No it’s not. But the greatness comes from its “invisible” sub-title. So what should the sub-title have been? It should have read like this: How to go from non-artist to amazing cartoonist in 6 months (or less). The same applies to our headlines or Article Writing Course that don’t even have titles and yet are booked out months in advance. The promise they bring is what draws the audience to the product/services. And yet, would I ever swap a title like The Brain Audit for something else? Of course not. Not having a great title is not critical for an infoproduct, but once you get one, it’s an invaluable asset. So how do you create your titles? In the past, the titles were today’s sub-titles. – How to stop worrying and start living: Dale Carnegie – The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Stephen Covey Then times changed to focus on the subtitle while the title shrunk – Freakonomics – The Tipping Point – Posititioning Some titles come from every day language e.g. the tipping point, positioning, etc. And some are made up e.g. Freakonomics, Strengths Finder. So is there a way to find a title? Yes, if you pay close attention. When you’re in a conversation, pay close attention to what’s being said. Every sentence has the potential for some unusual term or word that could become a book title. e.g. the last sentence has “close attention”, “potential”, “in a conversation”, “conversation”, “what’s being said”. And while you may not have great use for any of those, they are all book titles that can be used. To get book titles from your own field, open up magazines and books related to your field Immediately you’ll see a whole bunch of terms within a book. A management book will yield titles such as “Myth of the Change”, “Cascade”, “burning platform”, “marines take care of marines” etc. In fact I just opened up a management site and the words/titles popped out with amazing regularity. So yes, it’s all around you, these titles. And finding a title isn’t so scary as it once was, because we know that while titles are great, it’s the sub-title that really gets the customer’s attention. So go out there and create your sub-title. Then your title.

There were successes and failures along the way.While we gave advice and encouragement, we also found ourselves faced with discouragement and needing advice ourselves. That's where we came across advice that helped us see things with a new perspective. Listen in on how feedback from our audience helped us make a major format shift at the start of 2016.It wasn't just listening to our current audience that helped us out in those first seven months. We became avid fans and students of podcasters like Jared Easley, Jody Maberry, and Jeff Goins studying how they shared their uniqueness, structured, their shows, and applied what we learned to Beyond the Rut.A funny thing began to happen. We started following our own advice. It started with looking within our own circles of influence for our first interviews, and we found them with Davidson Young of The Leaders Foundry Podcast and Sara McDaniel of the blog titled Simply Sara. We got out of our comfort zones with those first two interviews placing our faith and trust in the insights of others.We're podcasters not photographers!One thing is for certain. Beyond the Rut today is different than when we started. Whatever you start today may not be where you are in six months if you're making forward progress and considering the feedback you're getting from the field.Podcast Audience GrowthOur audience has been growing from dozens of unique downloads per month to hundreds! It's still far short of where we want to be, and it is also a victory in ways. Here are some things we learned about podcast audience growth: Appreciate the audience you have now. Engage your audience by asking for feedback. Focus on providing valuable content to your audience. Meet new people through your current circles.Our biggest leaps in our podcast audience growth have come through the connections we already had in our lives.Resources and LinksBtR 027 - Just Take Action and Other Insights from Jody MaberryBtR 031 - Benjamin Hardy on Happiness, Reality, and Writing for YourselfBtR 032 - Cynthia Tripathi on Sparking Positive Momentum and Escamping AverageSecrets of a Great Podcast with Jeff Brown - The Jody Maberry Show (on iTunes)Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work, and Never Get Stuck by Jon Acuff (Buy it on Amazon)Podcasting Good to Great: How to Grow Your Audience Through Collaboration by Jared Easley (Buy it on Amazon)Fuzzy's Taco Shop 

"Learn the heart of God from the word of God." - Pope Saint Gregory the Great How is the Word of God honored in our homes? God is present in His Word; do we truly realize that? As Catholics, we need to surround our children with Scripture through stories, prayer, teaching, and song. We should be using the Bible to pass on the faith to our children, for it is through the Bible that they will come to know Who Jesus is and hear Him speaking to them. "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." - St. Jerome Show Notes: here are some great resources: iBreviary Scripture Studies from Scott Hahn and St. Paul Center Alicia's CD (songs help memorize scripture)

When in Doubt - Ask Your Audience [14:04] You can win a free year at the School of Podcasting by taking our Audience Survey. It would be interesting to see how many times I provide the answer, "Ask your audience." It is what appears to be an obvious choice, but I'm not sure if we don't want to bother them, but we often use an audience poll as a last resort. We might feel that we are bugging them. In the end the people who take part in your survey (1 - 5 % of your audience) are the most engaged in your audience and are doing it to support you . As your audience is made up of adults, it not a bad idea to explain why you are doing the poll, but we will get into that later. What Can I Learn From An Audience Poll Demographics (age, sex, income, location) Expectations (Tell your potential audience the topic of your podcast and see what they would expect to hear). Find a gap (What is the most common frustration when listening to podcasts). Help you choose a name or logo when you are launching your podcast. What language they use to describe your show (this is valuable in marketing material - it is the native tongue of your audience). Have them rank your segments (you may find there are segments that nobody consumes) Psychographics (lifestyle, interests, dreams, pain points). Behaviors (How do they consume your show, how often, how long). Before You Design Your Survey What is the objective of the poll? What are you looking for? Write down the objective? (future content, sponsors) What is the goal of this survey?Why are you creating this survey?What do you hope to accomplish with this survey?How will you use the data you are collecting? You will use your objectives to help create the questions Short and To the Point Survey Monkey research (along with Gallup and others) has shown that the survey should take 5 minutes or less to complete. 6 – 10 minutes is acceptable but we see significant abandonment rates occurring after 11 minutes. When Surveys are Too Long People drop out: They simply quit taking the survey.  Having a reward for completion can reduce drop-outs, but you can’t stop it completely.People stop paying attention: Remember your Jr. High School friend who just filled in random bubbles during a test? He grew up. If it takes too long to take your survey, he might do it again. Keep it Clear To ensure that you collect valid survey results, make sure you include instructions on how to answer the survey. Each question should be clearly stated so that there is no misunderstanding about what is being asked. When developing your survey questionnaire, you want to make certain that you are asking the questions in a neutral way, ie that you are not leading them toward a particular answer. This may seem simple, but when you are writing questions you will often find that the way you phrase the question may reflect your underlying opinion. Here is an example of a leading question: Instead of doing you think this microphone sounds better than the old one? Instead it might be “What do you think about the sound of this microphone?” Survey Flow There are some rules of thumb: 1) Questions about behavior (factual information) should be before those about attitude (opinions, emotions, preferences) 2) General questions should be before those that are more specific 3) Potentially sensitive questions should be asked later in the survey, once rapport has been established Question Strategies It is best to use non-structured questions when you are exploring new ideas and you don't really know what to expect from the respondents. Any easy way to get insights is to use a scale. Always use an even number of choices. If I say rank this 1 - 5, people can go right down the middle and choose 3. If they have to rank 1-4, they have to choose 2, or 3. One is a little better then the other. One key ingredient when dealing with adults is to include the "Why." As easy as it is to click a few buttons, in the end knowing "why" will help them push through to the end of the survey. If they understand that they may receive better content, a better schedule, etc. it may inspire them to answer. Keep your answers private. When In Doubt Bribe Them Even if your survey is short, you might have to provide some incentive to get more people to participate. Amazon gift cards, lottery tickets (is that legal), a free product can be used. The good news is the more you get to know your audience, the better bribes you will be able to come up with. Free Tools For Creating Surveys There are tons of plugin (see here and here). There are websites like Surveymonkey.com that allow you to do a free survey (up to 100 respondents with 10 questions).] The tool I use is Polldaddy. it is owned by the people behind Wordpress and their free service is almost unlimited (1000 responses per month).

Todays guest is man who if you take all the letters of his name and rearrange them you will get "Huge Action Taker" Well, actually that isn't the case, but it should be, as this is a guy who over the last few years has literally sprung to the top of his chosen field, by deciding on what he wanted, taking huge action and not allowing the obstacles that stop us all in our tracks to bother him. Way back in 1999 he started his career in the navy, as a Electronics Technician Third Class and for four years served his country. And upon leaving the military then moved through a series of positions and companies not coming anywhere near to that same length of service. Was this a man finding his place in things? Or was this simply the route that people take nowadays to show ambition to future employees? Well we are going to find out, but its true to say that in the last couple of years he has really put himself out there and taken risks to create a future that he loves. And one that no employee cant ake away from him As a host of the top rated show "Starve The Doubts", and the powerhouse behind the Pod Mov University and this years Podcast Movement Conference held in Dallas he is rocking and rolling with the best of them. And now as a bestseller author on Amazon with the podcasting bible Podcasting Good to Great: How to Grow Your Audience Through Collaboration he has added even more success to his life. So what was it in his life that made him jump from the corporate life and enter into the uncertain world of entrepreneurship?

Today we have an extraordinary episode. In this episode I have co-hosted with John Colley at his Online Learning Podcast and together we have interviewed Jared Easley. All three of us had fun and I hope you will enjoy it too. John Colley is the host of the Online Learning Podcast and creator of various online courses. Jared Easley is the host of the Starve The Doubts podcast, the co-founder of the Podcast Movement and since recently also an author. In this interview we talk about Jared's journey to success. Jared explains where he started and how did he manage to succeed. He talked about his experiences of writing and publishing his first non-fiction book Podcasting Good to Great: How to Grow Your Audience Through Collaboration, which became #1 Amazon bestseller in several categories. I personally think that the book did well was thanks to the right strategy Jared implemented: he write a good quality book, launched it at 99 cents and the launch was aligned with the Podcast Movement week end.

Today we are joined by Charles McFall of Successreaks.com and House of the Bear. Charles was a guy who was doing live, and talked me into trying it. Its been a fun experiment and I love Saturday mornings. Today we talk about the following: Bad Names for Podcasting [4:30] The Magic of 3% [8:10] (based on a chapter from the book Podcasting Good to Great: How to Grow Your Audience Through Collaboration ) New Media Expo Buys the Podcast Awards [14:35] Avoiding Podcast Burn Out - Keeping Your Schedule [17:35] Wunderlist Review 22:30 Podcasting Platforms [26:56] Podbean is False Advertising [29:00] Podcast Releases [34:28] Question: Who owns the content?

[51:51]   Mentioned on This Show: Sellfy.com Checklist Manifesto Podcasting Good to Great: How to Grow Your Audience Through Collaboration Excuses Be Gone  

  Is Podcasting a Winter Sport? As people can now download new episodes anywhere over their phone (no need to go home and syncronize your ipod like we did in 2009. Buying iTunes Reviews [4:09] Is it OK to "Buy" podcast reviews in iTunes? It seems more of an accepted strategy (as long as they are form listeners and not some fake person from fiverr). The thing to keep in mind is that you can't contact the person in iTunes. If you pick momstaxi34 as the winner, how do you contact them? They need to put their website so you can go to their website and contact them. Without that anybody can say "I'm momtaxi34." Amazon Affiliate Details - Deep Dive [8:00] A question from the August 2nd Show - Some more clarification on Amazon from a couple shows back when we talked about creating your own Amazon links or shortners. From: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/help/t64/a1 How can I create a link without using HTML coding? You can link directly to the Amazon.com homepage or an item's detail page. Your visitors simply have to visit URLs with the correct Associate IDs inserted. You should use the following format examples to construct your links: Amazon.com Homepage: http://www.amazon.com/?tag=your_Associates_ID(you must change "your_Associates_ID to match your unique Associates ID or tracking ID) Detail Page: http://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN/?tag=your_Associates_ID For the detail page link, be sure to replace “ASIN” with the product ASIN or ISBN found on the item’s detail page. Can I use a link shortening service for my links? While you are welcome to use link shortening services, the link checker will not be able to verify that these links are functioning as intended. Please remember that you must clearly state that the link in question will take the user to the Amazon site when clicked and ensure that the site on which you are posting the links includes the required statement to identify yourself as an Associate. You must also be able to provide detailed information about the site(s) on which your links have been posted if we request it. We do offer our own link shortening tool that can be used with Product Links. To shorten your links, search for a product from the Associates homepage under “Quickly Add Links” and choose the down arrow next to the item you want to advertise. A message box will appear and you can select “Shorten URL with amzn.to” and copy the short code for your site. From: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/help/operating/amazonmarks You must prominently include a statement on your site stating that Amazon and the Amazon logo, AmazonSupply and the AmazonSupply logo, and MYHABIT and the MYHABIT logo (as applicable) are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. For example, if your site displays the amazon.com and AmazonSupply logos, you would include the following statement: “Amazon, the Amazon logo, AmazonSupply, and the AmazonSupply logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.” You are not allowed to use any trademark of Amazon or its affiliates, or a variant or misspelling of a trademark of Amazon or its affiliates:a.in any domain name or subdomain name – for example, a domain name or subdomain name such as , , , , , , , , , or is prohibited; When You Include Your Listener's Name in Your Show - It Makes them Giddy[15:00] Dave talks about the book Podcasting Good to Great: How to Grow Your Audience Through Collaboration and how including your listener's name in your show can lead them to have a deeper connection with you. National Podcast Day 18:33 Steve Lee and a number of podcasters are celebrating podcasting's 10th anniversary by getting the word out about podcasting. Check out nationalpodcastday.com and help spread the word about podcasting. Dave is celebrating National Podcast Day by holding a Meetup for Cleveland Podcasters. You can find more information at www.clevelandpodcasters.com http://youtu.be/wdiWehDP-lI Dave talks about how fun it is to turn a brand new person on to podcasting. Spread the word! Boosting Your Conference with Podcasting [35:00] Jim talks about how conferences are an easy place to get bonus content for your conference that you can then use to promote your conference. Jim has 16 interviews now that he can use in the future. It also creates a buzz at your event when people see the interviews happening live. Meetup Tips [37:00] Do you have any tips on starting a meetup? Check with your local library or if there is a computer training center (they may sponsor the event). In some cases if your goal is more networking, then some groups meet at restaurants or coffee houses where its easy to talk. Is Podbean Still Bad? [38:00] Miss Ileane from basicblogtips.com asks is Podbean still bad? They seem to meet most of my needs. 1. They don't rename my file 2. They don't mess with my ID3 tags. 3. They have stats 4. They have the ability to leave (a redirect option). 5. They have support. The thing that makes me worry about podbean is that I can' find a location and person. There is an address on their website, but if you go to Google Earth, we can't verify if its a real address. The other thing that is weird is they list shows that are NOT on the network as if they are. NOTE: Dave went over and looked and their stats have improved since the last time he looked at them, and he is going to do another review of their service. Here are some weird things about podbean.com They have a twitter account, but no tweets. Moving Your Podcast [55:00] Jeff Roney calls in and asks about moving your media files from your web host to a media host. No way around this, it is typically a pain in the butt. Some tips on this: 1. Make a naming convention that helps point the file to the blog posts. This might be sop426_090814.mp3 So I can see the date of the post that the file is associated with. You can then filter the posts in WordPress to show this month and go in and edit it. The longer you wait to move, the harder it is. If you have determined that you are going to podcast, use the service like Libsyn.com or Blubrry.com (use the coupon code sopfree on both platforms to get a free month). Getting your media on the new platform is easier. Libsyn and Blubrry can import your media on to their platform using your current RSS feed. The fun part is changing the location in your wordpress posts (you have to coy and paste - there may be a plugin to help with this). You can upload your entire back catalog, and pay one fee for that. Then months after that will be set at the typical monthly rate. Jeff loved the post about 27 steps to get into iTunes. Find Jeff at onceisfrozen.com Video of Show http://youtu.be/S5NaW3s6pGI
