Why I Podcast?
I think I have wrote and written and am re-writing this post.
I am actually typing this one out and I have not done it this way in a long time.
Why do I podcast? Most of you have heard me talk about Steve Dahl. I went to college to be the next Steve Dahl. Well, I guess you all can figure out that did not happen. But, I have always wanted to entertain. I, even, did a radio show for free for with one partner for over a year and then another show for nearly as long.
I started my first podcast which was about mortgages and that did not last all that long. No one really cares about mortgages…
I chose to do a podcast for several reasons
1. I want to share my knowledge
I have an opinion and I really want to share it. I am pretty well versed and know more than the average bear in video marketing, SEO, local SEO, Google products, mobile applications, SMS marketing and marketing in general.
2. I want to make more money
This is really a two parter –
I would like to make more money doing the podcast and that is why I got a sponsor. SimpleNexus was the first to do become a sponsor and it is an affiliate relationship, and if you sign up then you will get a 10% discount by the using the code “Daver”.
I think it is a good way to be recognized as a speaker and be invited to speak at events from real estate and mortgage to marketing and even as a keynote.
That sums it up that is why I podcast.
I love listening to podcasts. They are a narrowcast. I can just about listen to anything that I want. I can just about find it on iTunes. I have even heard a sex show done in the voice of Jimmy Stewart.
I can listen to a podcast anywhere and anytime. In the car, the gym, working around the house, mowing the yard, etc…the list is endless. The downside seems to be is laughing out loud in the grocery store.
I called up Coach Lee again. I tossed it out on twitter and facebook and she was the one that responded first. We talked about how little planning do and I think I suffered from this on this podcast today. But, I had heard recently that the United States ranks eleventh in the American Dream. Needless to say, I was shocked to say the least, ten other countries rank higher that we do in the American Dream. How the heck did that happen?
I am still out to make mine happen
