Hey, just found you through google, looking forward to more of your posts. I have been running my own home business blog for a while now, and I am always looking for any information that will help me along in my own pursuit of internet independence. Please feel free to critique in any way. I guess the (customary) great site stuff goes here, but it doesnt always seem to be welcome any more.

Thanks Jay, I meant to mention as well that the reason I like your podcasts so much is because of the conversational tone, doesn’t sound like you are preaching!
It’s not going to the most interesting subject in the world as it will focus on business networking. However, I think the key to surviving in 2009 will be diversification, whether you are online or off. The problem in the UK is that people are just so reserved that they have difficulty ‘putting themselves out there’
My new mantra will be ‘diversify or die!’

Mark,

Thanks for listening. I’m glad you enjoy the show.

That’s awesome that you are starting your own podcast.

What is the podcast going to be about?

Hi Guys,
I am from the UK and have been listening to your downloads from iTunes and I have to say, they are by far the most entertaining and informative podcasts on the net today. I love them! I have just invested in some equipment to do the first of my podcasts this weekend and I would never have done this if it wasn’t for listening to you guys. I am so pumped for it that I have been leaving your links all over a new make money online blog that I am moderating back here in the UK.
Thanks again for steering me towards podcasts.

If you could pick only one internet/marketing seminar this year, which would you go to?

@Craig,

That’s a great question. It depends on what your primary objectives are and where you are at in your business.

To find out the #1 must-attend event for me and Sterling as well as one of the top ones that we recommend…go here:

This is exactly where my mind has been lately and what I have been recommending to clients. I would not put Blogger in the same category as Facebook, however. There are some social networking aspects to Blogger, but thousands of mostly disconnected blogs is not nearly the same as the intense inter-connectivity of Facebook. Facebook ads, here I come!

Nice tips! Social Media is definitely the way to go. Can’t wait to attend my 1st podcamp in a couple of weeks.

You mentioned in your last podcast you were looking forward to going to more live events this year. If you could pick only one internet/marketing seminar this year, which would you go to? thanks!

Great article. I have just starting tweeting and utilizing both Facebook and LinkedIn. I see huge potential with these sites.

Your idea of re-purposing content into different media is excellent. Just what I needed! Thank you.

Interesting ideas Jay. I think the iPhone app market will blow up next year.. and other markets will soon follow.

Also love the idea of repurposing content – we are trying to do that as well!
