This week, we take more questions on the show plus play an interview we did with Perry Lawrence of AskMrVideo.com. Perry has been in video production for 20 years and has produced, shot, and or edited videos for companies like Merck, Maxwell House, Nickelodeon, P&G, Ogilvy & Mather, IBM, and many others.  In this interview Perry shares the basics of creating good video content.

Perry gives some great video marketing tips in this episode. In fact, one tip he gave about using natural light from the sun, caused me to re-arrange my office so that I could position myself opposite the window for getting the best results.

As for question on the show this week, here's what we have:

  • Roger wants to know about building back links from blog comments. We recommend a very cool tool called blog comment demon. It's my favorite tool for finding blogs (that are follow) and commenting on them.
  • Allen wants to know the best print on demand publisher for publishing a book. Of course, as always our favorite is CreateSpace.
  • Jason want to know if his search ranking will drop when he switches host providers.
  • Heather wants to know the best model (Google Ads, affiliate income, membership sites, info products)  for generating residual monthly income online. We share our thoughts on this.
  • These questions and more !

On this week's show we start off by talking about our 4 week Podcasting Mastery course starting August 2nd at 8pm. You can register by going to www.bibpodcast.com/podcast.

Just to give you an idea of where we were when we first  started out podcasting, Russell & I play a a short clip of the very first episode we did on Blog Talk Radio back on January 19, 2009- back when we had no listeners and our mics were cell phone. Here's a hint - We sound awful! If had come across the show back then, I would have cut it off after the first 2 minutes.

Fast forward two and a half years, and we now have 65,000 listens and about 5-6,000 downloads a month! If you'd  like to learn how to get started creating your own podcast show and build a huge following that lets you generate passive income through affiliate marketing and selling your own products at the same time, then I encourage you to register for the 4 week course.

We also answer some questions this week on the air. We discuss one question on whether or not to use Kunaki's bar code option when uploading your DVD cover graphics. We  often encourage our listeners to do use this company because it's so inexpensive to print and package DVDs and CDs.

We also tackle some affiliate questions like alternatives to Amazon as they begin to pull out of many states due to new sales tax laws.

We'll also be discussing a book I talked about during the mid-week segment called How I Sold a Million eBooks in 5 Months by John Locke. As I've mentioned before, this is one of the most practical marketing books I've read in a long time.

If you have any desire to sell your own information products online, you really need to grab this book. You can order the kindle version here for $4.99.

Pat has created several businesses that include not only fitness and athletic training but also coaching and consulting for other peronal trainers who want to stop "trading their time for dollars".

The secret to being successful is very simple –  you study what other successful people are already doing and then model that. Simple…yes; Easy…no.

This week we interview Rachel D Young, author of the new book Conversations with Female Millionaires. In putting this book together, Rachel interviewed some of today’s wealthiest female entrepreneurs and had them share their own stories of their rise to the top.

In this interview, you’ll learn about some of the characteristics that separate these women from the rest. But keep in mind, this book is not just beneficial for women only, but anyone who has a vision of building their own successful business. “Success leaves clues” as Tony Robbins once said; and the clues are abundant in this book.
