If you are a writer, you can transpose that into podcasting, because podcasting is really the audio version.” “Podcasting is a lot of work.” “Whatever niche you're in, even if it's a blog or podcast, figure out what the conferences are the major conferences that you can go to because that's what really put me on the map.” “Figure out what exactly do you want to get out of the conference that you're going to go to and try to see how you can recoup that money back quickly so that your return on investment is there.” “If you can afford to hire out, it's worth it.” “Even though you might have a tendency to be a certain way, don't close yourself off to other things.” “When it comes to destinations, I primarily follow the flight deal.
