Beginner Internet Business Podcast
 

This week, we have the privilege of welcoming social media strategist Kim Garst on the show to talk about Pinterest. Kim has just written a brand new book that I highly recommend called "The Quick and Easy Guide to Branding Your Business and Creating Massive Sales with Pinterest".

I bought the Kindle version over the weekend and love it. It's full of so many great marketing strategies that you can use to promote your products and services. Kim has been listed in Forbes as one of the top 50 Social Media Power Influencers.

Kim will be sharing how business owners, who sell both products and services can benefit from the power of Pinterest.

This week, we take more great questions on the show! 

1) John wants to know if E-junkie is the best option for delivering both digital and physical products. We give an honest assessment of Ejunkie since this is the platform that we’re currently using.
2) Richard wants to know of a contact form he can use on his website; One that features a captcha code block to minimize the spam. We recommend a couple of great contact form plugins for WordPress plus some options if he’s not using WordPress for his site.
3) Greg wants a good USB headset recommendation for doing screencast tutorials, webinars, Skype, voiceovers and video conferencing. Since we do all of these on a pretty regular basis, we give him our recommendations depending on his budget – the Sennheiser PC 166 or thePlantronics Audio 655 . Both are excellent headset mics that offer solid sound quality.
4) Renee wants to know what search criteria we use for doing keyword research on Market Samurai.

5) And finally Derrick is creating a political video for YouTube and would like a good resource for finding free stock photos since he’s already spent about $20 pictures at Big Stock Photo.
