Every now and then the "recommended" notification on Twitter will suggest someone to you who is actually a good fit. A few months back, the recommendation was for Jon Nastor. After looking at his profile and seeing that he's a drummer, and entrepreneur, and an author, I had to see what this guy was about.That led to an exploration of his site, diving into his podcast and realizing that he and I share a lot in common. We both love punk rock, both play drums (him far more successfully than I). We both have working in the music and entrepreneurial space for a while. We have also had excellent conversations with some of the same people on our podcasts like Tom Giles, Kevin Kelly (episode coming soon), and Seth Godin. I knew I had to talk to this dude.Jon is a great conversationalist, and a truly comfortable person to engage with. He was gracious in extending the conversational love to me in letting me join him on Hack The Entrepreneur Podcast shortly after we talked. Listen to our chat on his podcast here.His insights into what success actually means, how to combine our passion and our freedom to do what we want, and what growth actually is are spot on.I highly recommend his book Hack The Entrepreneur, the book and the podcast. It's insights into what real growth professionals like the individuals mentioned earlier and several others give to show the way forward.Episode 26 with Jon Nastor Show NotesJon gives a Cliff Notes definition of "Growth Hacking" for musicians in first 10 minutes of conversation.You don't have to have a ton of experience before starting out. If you want to do something do it. It's how Jon created his podcast and wrote his book. The backstory and his insights are perfect for helping you get started.We talk about how annoying auto-DM messages and auto-responders are when first making new contacts with people on social media. This is particularly insightful for musicians who do this on Twitter. What Jon says about this is how most professionals in media and with an influential audience feels if you auto-DM them right out of the gate.We cheer for the underdog in the story but we tell other people we're the giant. Why that is and how that hurts us about 3/4 into the podcast.Jon Nastor Podcast Quotes“Do work that matters. What matters to me might not matter to you. But it’s worth talking about.”“I like my businesses like I like my music: fast and independent.”"If you have an idea and you put it onto paper, and then in a digital format, and put it out to the world, that is entrepreneurship.”“We all go against Goliath in real time, and cheer for David, but then we try to pretend to be Goliath in what we do. Then we lose that personal connection. Everything I write and everything I say is for 1 person. If I treat them well enough there will be that connection personally.”Listen, download and share via this player:

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you episode 074 of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: The topic for this episode is one I have wanted to explore for a long time – the connection between product management and content marketing. If you look at a recent marketing textbook, you’ll see sections that address product management and likely some coverage of content marketing as well. I have found similarities between the two and I went to the most authoritative source I know for content marketing – the folks at CopyBlogger, which is now Rainmaker Digital. They have been writing and teaching about content market for several years. My guest is VP of Marketing for Rainmaker Digital. He also creates educational content and digital products that help people develop and grow rewarding, profitable online businesses. The content he creates for Rainmaker Digital includes The Showrunner Podcast (with Jon Nastor) and The Digital Entrepreneur podcast (with Brian Clark). His name is Jerod Morris and I hope you enjoy the discussion as much as I did, learning: what content marketing is,how content marketing and product management are similar, andapplying content marketing to product management.

"Find what matters to you and only do that." - Jon Nastor Jon is a proud dad, husband and online entrepreneur who loves creating, marketing and selling cool things online. Even the best products in the world do not sell themselves, it has never happened and it never will. Jon has built his own business and several client’s businesses with his understanding of how to create and build products,  and more importantly, take them to market. Unable since birth to settle for how things should be, he constantly aims to satisfy pains and frustrations with products that make people’s life easier. He is co-founder of VelocityPage, a WordPress plugin that allows anyone to create beautiful landing pages in minutes — without code. Jon spent his earlier years travelling coast-to-coast across Canada playing drums in several punk rock bands. Although not a punk in fashion, he has never let go of the D.I.Y. ethic that taught him: if you want something to change, you have to do it, get it done, or stop complaining about it.

Jon Nastor is lifelong side-hustler, the co-founder of VelocityPage.com, a pain-free webpage building tool for WordPress that’s grown to hundreds of users, and as a side hustle, he hosts the top-rated Hack the Entrepreneur podcast. His situation is somewhat unique in the software world in that he’s NOT a coder or a programmer. Instead, he had an idea of what he wanted to build, from his own frustrations, and set out to find a technical partner to make it a reality. But instead of asking around his personal network, or going to Elance like I might do, Jon reached out to the very top levels of the platform he wanted his software to complement.

Jon Nastor is the guy behind a coupe of highly successful podcasts (Hack The Entrepreneur and The Showrunner) and over the past 3 years built a product called VelocityPage. One of the first products that allowed you to quickly create landing pages without knowing how to code. VelocityPage was unique and made a huge splash on the market. Over time Jon’s plans changed. And that’s when the focus of VelocityPage began to fall apart, and what Jon and I discuss. Here’s what Jon shares: How Jon first came up with the idea to start VelocityPage. What triggered the hard decision to close the business, even though he is still making sales. Why he didn’t feel good about the fact people will were buying his product. Why it was important for Jon to get Mark Jaquith as the lead developer, even though he didn’t know Mark at the time. Why he said he didn’t put enough action into this business, and didn’t want to. How the concept of “Hell Yeah!” drove the nail in the coffin before burying his business. Why it’s important to be excited about what you’re doing. Why he said he was throwing away good time, good energy, and money into the project and how it kept dragging him down. How it’s hard for an entrepreneur to face the facts. What Jon means when he said, “I want to scratch of my own itch.” Why you have to default to “No,” rather than default to “Yes.” Why Jon is turning down business opportunities he never thought he’d be offered. How he came up with his next business idea and how he’s taking action on it now. Jon also announced his next big project that is planned to go live in June. Which I think is a very cool idea.

He is also the host of Hack the Entrepreneur on Copyblogger's Rainmaker.FM podcast network, and co-founder of VelocityPage. What I love about his story is Jon didn't start out online. He opened a few of his own offline businesses after finding his entrepreneurial edge at a young age. In 2011, he made the jump online and has since interviewed over 207 entrepreneurs on his podcast - hack the Entrepreneur. Jon has compiled all of the shared traits and strategies that he's learned from so many successful entrepreneurs into a book, released in early December last year. I've asked him to join us today to share some of the knowledge he's collected about growing a business and being successful. Enjoy! --- Mission Statement: My mission is to create 200 new multi-millionaire business owners who solve world problems with entrepreneurship. How? You'll do better when you know better. Would it help you to have a mentor who can cut your learning curve by sharing their mistakes with you so you could avoid them?

Jon Nastor reveals his accidental discovery after interviewing his first 30 podcast guests, how it grew his business, AND why applying this to your business could yield the same results…

Jon Nastor is a digital entrepreneur, podcaster, and drummer of punk rock beats. He can be found traveling with his family, working in the local coffee shop, and building cool products online.  Jon is the host of the Hack The Entrepreneur Podcast.

Today we have Jon Nastor of Hack the Entrepreneur on the podcast! To say I was excited to talk with Jon would be an understatement... and I just got more excited as the conversation continued. It's refreshing for me to find like-minded individuals doing cool things online that don't believe you have to sacrifice everything else in your life to make things happen. When Jon was a teenager, way before he launched Hack the Entrepreneur, he spent a lot of time playing punk rock music. It was during this time he realized how much he loved “DIY” in the sense that if he wanted something, like making music, playing a show, etc. he had to do it himself to make it happen. He carried this with him into his 20's and then in 2011 he discovered he could make a business on the internet. One of the biggest things he's created is Velocity Page, a premium WordPress plug in. He created it with Bill, his brother in law, and Mark Jaquith. Velocity Page is a way to create WordPress pages without the “techy” mumbo jumbo. It takes you out of the admin panel so you can live edit on your page so what you see it what you get. Jon created this tool because a few years ago he needed something like this but he couldn't find it so he went to Mark with this idea and they created it. In 2014 he went to Chris Ducker's conference called Tropical Think Tank where there were a lot of serious podcasters (Chris runs Tropical Think Tank once a year and it's in the Philippines... and event I plan on attending at some point!). He realized he had both the time and the resources to start his own podcast. Even though he had little to no experience doing podcasts and interviewing people, he knew he just had to start somewhere. So that summer he made a list  of about 30 people that he wanted to interview and he thought he would interview them over the course of a few months and then be done. To his surprise, about 2 months later it got bigger than he expected so he ramped up production to 3 podcasts a week. The same sort of thing happened to me when I started my podcast... not that I jumped into multiple episodes per week (kudos to you Jon... I love it!), but my podcast definitely shifted everything in my business. For Jon he saw that there wasn't really anything in the podcast space that he really like/captured his interest. So he decided to create it, just like one would create a product because they don't see what they want out there already. He experienced the same sort of thing with Hack the Entrepreneur. With a little bit of help from a friend, Jon took the idea and ran with it. After the success of the show and his 5 categories of hacks (Being Wrong, Fears, Habits, Mindset and Ideas), he brought the best of all of this into a book! (Hardly a guy to rest on his laurels, right?). I highly recommend getting the book (in addition to the podcast). Questions I Asked: How did Jon create Velocity Page? What was it like for Jon to reach out to Mark? How did Jon come up with Hack the Entrepreneur? What is his book about? How does Jon come up with each hack? Things You'll Learn: How to figure the right format of a podcast for you and your audience. Commonalities that Jon sees in a lot of entrepreneurs. The biggest thing you need to grow your business. Why “the hustle” isn't relevant anymore when it comes to making money. A few of Jon's favorite hacks from his book.   Where to connect with Jon Website | Podcast | Facebook | Twitter Links mentioned in this episode: Velocity Page Hack The Entrepreneur

This episode is going to focus on how you you should focus on finding the D-list Super stars in your niche. These are the people who will have the inclination to help you. They too have something to prove, they're equally hungry and excited to work with other d-listers, they'll be more open to doing a mutually beneficial joint venture with you. They will be more willing to promote your product as an affiliate, write an article recommending you, interview you on their podcast. So many ways in which these kind folks can help you. And no, I'm not talking about doing a stupid email swap or an ad swap or a link swap. I'm talking about finding influencers who are ready and willing to help you, AND can make an impact on your business. But for this whole thing to work, here are the main ingredients you absolutely must have in place first. Let's say you are getting ready to launch a new online course about horse riding. Here's the new media way of finding your super star partners. #1) Let's start with the obvious: You must have a great product. Now I'm using the name "Product" to loosely refer to anything physical, or digital, or a service. So starting with a great product goes without saying. Whether you are launching a membership site, a Kindle book, a WordPress plugin, or a SaaS app - by the way, Saas - S A A S stands for software as a service. A lot of people put the cart before the horse, and forget that they need to first create something remarkable. I'm not saying you have to have this massive product all polished and completed. There's something to be said for launching a minimum viable product - or MVP. And the cool thing is, that with digital products, you can easily update it and add more to it over time, whether it is a kindle book - which you can easily update, and simply upload a new version with new chapters or edits of typos, you can keep adding content to your Kindle book with absolutely no hassle. With software, like a plugin, or a mobile App, or a Saas app, you can easily publish an update, a new "release", with new features and bug fixes. Even a product like the iPhone, can release updates to its operating system without having to touch the hardware. If you remember, people made a big deal about the original iphone saying it didn't have copy/paste functionality. One software update later, that feature was included. And Apple did not have to recall a single iphone in order to add that feature. So yes, the #1 thing is to start with a great product, even if it is a minium viable version. 2) Go to Facebook.com. Search for "horse riding group". Quickly join the top 5, do a quick scan, eliminate the ones that don't have much engagement, and ones that have too much spam and blatant promotion. Check if they allow new-member introductions. If they do, then make a post introducing yourself, give a quick elevator pitch about what you do, include a link back to your web site, and most importantly, say something like, "I'm excited to join this amazing group. I'm ready to contribute here and help others. I want to give more than I ask. So if you have any questions at all about horses and horse riding, then feel free to ask me below, or message me directly." See how that didn't sound like I'm quoting from my sales page or my resume? So just keep it classy, really low-key. I can't stress that enough. If at any time you feel that you might be doing something pushy or pitchy, then hold back. Don't worry about giving out too much content and wasting time. Trust me, you're better off wasting time by offering free content and helping others, than watching viral videos and looking at everybody else's life in pictures. It's about dang time you spent every spare minute you have building your own business. Once this is done, now start listening, reading, observering. Start answering questions from others who you think you can help. Contribute to discussions and arguments. Feel free to take sides, but don't belittle anyone or trash someone's view point. Just state in a very clear way why you're taking one side of the argument, without involving emotion or making it personal. You can still have strong opinions and express them without trashing someone else's opinions. Now comes absolutely, THE most important part: Every time someone engages with you, likes your content, responds to your posts, participates in a discussion thread along with you, add them as a friend. Don't go and start adding everyone in the group as a friend. That's key. Do it ONLY with someone who has engaged with you, or who you have engaged with, by commenting on their thread or answering their question or offering feedback. If you do this for even just a week in 2-3 different groups, you can easily make 30 to 50 new really good contacts. 3) Next, contact the group owners themselves, build a relationship with them. Offer them feedback about the group, not in patronizing way, but in a complimentary way. Offer them a free membership to your horse riding course. Tell them there's absolutely no obligation. They never have to pay for it. If they love it, and if they have the time, you would really appreciate it if they can give you a testimonial that you can proudly display on your web site, with their signature, mentioning their web site, or the Facebook Group URL, or whatever they want. So the positioning of this offer is important. You're not being pushy. You're saying, IF they love it, IF they have the time, IF they would be kind enough to give you a review, you will proudly display it on your page. #4) Go to the big content directories: iTunes, Youtube, LinkedIn. Find the top 10 people in each category who are providing a lot of value, creating great content, and are really cool to their audience. Contact them directly. You might not get much traction with the top few people, but that's ok. The goal here is to focus on the long-tail, the C and D-listers. Spend some time consuming their content. This is absolutely critical. If you shoot them an email right off the bat saying you want them to promote your product, you are almost never going to hear back from them. Instead, subscribe to those podcasts and youtube channels. Consume their content. Become a fan. Of course, if their content sucks, move on to the next person in the list. You don't have to listen to crappy shows. But the good ones? Listen, and become a fan. And find an interesting thing that you can say to them, that only a fan would say. For instance, I was a fan of Jon Nastor from Hack The Entrepreneur. And in one of his other shows, the Show Runner show, his co-host calls Jon Nastor the defender of humanity. So many months later, completely unrelated, when I was launching my own podcast, I wrote to Jon with the subject "O Defender of Humanity" and I wrote a really cool email to him, because I was a fan, and what I wrote was super genuine, and absolutely nothing pitchy or promotional. I built a relationship with him by exchanging a couple of emails, offering him some feedback, and finally, one day, I told him, oh, by the way, if you ever want to interview the coolest geek on the planet, then I would be super thrilled and honored to come on his show. I even referenced what I meant by me being the coolest geek on the planet. If you go to Google right now, and search for the keywords "coolest geek on the planet", you'll see that my web site shows up at the top. So I was a fan, I gave him feedback, I genuinely appreciated him, and actually communicated with him like a cool human being. He loved the idea, and I ended up as a guest on one of the hottest entrepreneur interview shows on iTunes. So yes, you have GOT to put some time into becoming a fan, and building a relationship with your potential partners. You've got to woo them. It goes back to the often used example in dating. You can't ask a girl to marry you on the first date. And in this day of social media, where it's super easy to reach out to someone, and equally easy to be a douchebag and piss someone off by being pitchy and pushy, it is very important that you understand how to approach super starts and future partners. Remember, nothing, and I mean NOTHING gets a person more excited than hearing from a genuine fan tell them how much they love their stuff. And if it is genuine, and true, they'll feel it, and you'll hit it off instantly. Think all of this is a bit too time consuming? Heck yeah, it is. In the beginning, you probably have more time than money. So go ahead and spend all of your time and effort on this. Stop watching Netflix for a month. No big deal. I know Gary Vaynerchuk is famous for his line "Stop watching effin "Lost". Sorry, Gary, I said that way before you did. I was telling this to my friends in 2000, back then, of course, I was telling them, Stop watching effin Friends! Because friends was the big & famous show back then. So yeah. People binge-eat, bing-watch Netflix, binge-play video games, we binge on every darn useless thing in this world. So the next time you're on Facebook, and you see an exciting article or a video, click on that little downward "V" icon next to that post, and save it for later. Trust me, this one tip alone will make you 5 times more productive on Facebook. So how about you spend the next 1 week binge-buildig relationships? How about you do binge-marketing? This topic will be continued in the next episode. Yaro Starak, one of the leading lifestyle entrepreneurs in the world, from Entrepreneurs-Journey.com, said this about my book at SubscribeMeBook.com: Ravi's book rams home a very important message: It's much smarter to get paid more than once for making one sale, and one of the best ways to do this online is to sell membership products. Read this book and your eyes will open to some incredible opportunities to make money online. So check out my book at SubscribeMeBook.com. It is a culmination of 18 years of my life making and marketing digital products, starting with selling a physical book back in 1998. Until the next time, don't forget to do some bingeing that will actually help you take your business to the next level. Cheers!

I met Jon less than six months ago, but we hit it off pretty quickly. He's the host of the popular podcast, Hack The Entrepreneur, and we went deep into the struggles of building a business when it seems like nothing is happening. Jon pushed through months and month of "not knowing" with his podcast. But because he kept showing up, eventually he opened doors that never would have been opened otherwise. I love the fact that Jon is ready and willing to admit he didn't know what he's doing, but he knew one really important thing: keep showing up. And because of that, so many opportunities are opening up for him. We talked about all of that and what it's like to be on the other side of the dip. As always, I had a great time talking to Jon.

Todays guest entrepreneur speaking to us on the Steve Jobs inspired business podcast, is a man who from his home in the town of Thunder Bay Ontario Canada, has set about living the life that lights him up inside. He admits to never having felt really settled in life, and at his core has always had the desire to go against the norm and do things his own way. And certainly at the moment, he is flourishing within that mind-set, as he is busy creating both the time freedom that we all want in our life, and a series of online ventures that can give him the aforementioned freedom. For most people family comes before everything, they are the reason that we are here. But also for most people we see less of our families than anything else as we set about building the income and providing the support that they need...yep work gets in the way of everything. This is not a career man as such, as he likes nothing more than spending time with his daughter and wife, and so in just two years has grown his current online business, from $0 to $490k in annual revenue, This is a fully digital business, in a tiny market, with average sales of just less than $27 per transaction. He starts, runs, and grows online businesses and can help us all do the same. But in life all paths and ventures that seem that the guest was destined for, actually took many years for them to find  and he was no exception. He spent his earlier years travelling coast-to-coast across Canada playing drums in several punk rock bands. Although not a punk in fashion, he has never let go of the D.I.Y. ethic that taught him: if you want something to change, you have to do it, get it done, or stop complaining about it. See that free spirit again, can never be denied when it is who we are. His latest creation is called VelocityPage, a Premium WordPress plugin that allows anyone to create beautiful web pages in minutes — without code. He is also the host of the hit podcast Hack The Entrepreneur. So what is it about him that had always felt unsettled? And what advice can he give all of us as we look to find the thing that makes us bound out of bed each morning and never have to see our boss's face again? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only career driven freedom expert Jon Nastor To hear more from Jon Nastor go to: Podcast: Hack The Entrepreneur with Jon Nastor Description: Hack The Entrepreneur reveals the fears, habits, and inner-battles behind big name entrepreneurs and those on the path to success.

'Entrepreneur hacking' can be any trick, shortcut, skill, or method that allows anyone to crush it in business and in life. In other words, it is anything that solves a problem entrepreneurs have in an inspired, ingenious way. We know that everyone is unique and that they have to find their own path to success, but after personally speaking to entrepreneurs every day as part of my own successful online business, I became obsessed with the idea of finding the ‘replicable' things successful people do, to try to find the patterns. Not so you can copy them, but instead absorb it into what you do everyday, so you can make your own success and one day help others ‘Hack the Entrepreneur' too. Whether you are looking for success with blogging, social media, passive income, YouTube, search engine optimization, startups, affiliate marketing, outsourcing, overcoming fears, doubts, or building your own business on your terms, Hack the Entrepreneur can and will help you.
