I have a major confession to make, so if you’re driving in your car you might want to pull over. During the podcast introduction I play air drums. Yes, that’s right. I hate to admit it, but I just love that theme song so much and I have to give all the credit to the guy who wrote it, I had nothing to do with it other than commissioning it. It just gets me excited to talk to you, it’s really great to be back on the mic.
Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. If you’re like me and you’re trying to build internet businesses one night at a time it’s really great to see you. Maybe you’re a full time internet marketer, whatever you’re doing I’m really glad you’re here and welcome to Episode 13. I hope 13 is not the unlucky episode – we’re going to get to that in a little bit. I was a little hesitant to do an episode 13, but we’ll talk about that. In the U.S. at least 13 is kind of an unlucky number, so we’ll get to that in a little bit.
We’re going to talk today about some things in my Google Reader. We’ve been trying to focus on affiliate marketing and we’re going to be doing that more and more on the podcast. So we’ll talk about focusing on your passion, which is something I touch base with a little bit in the episode. We’ll have some feedback, we’ll kind of talk a little bit about some feedback that I got on that passion thing. And then we’ll talk a little bit on the motivation side about how to stay motivated when you’re working on your internet businesses one night at a time. I’ve been wanting to podcast more and I say that every time. I just have had all these mental, emotional barriers to podcasting because it’s so much work, or at least it has been so much work for me in the past because of the way I was doing it. So I started doing some research on how to do some more kind of direct to drive kind of podcasting where I was really just doing the podcast all live, getting the thing onto disc and up into iTunes with as little post-production as possible.
So I started doing some research and as a lot of you guys know I ran across Cliff Ravenscraft, who I now consider a friend. He’s an awesome guy, he’s got over 2,700 episodes, I think that’s the right number, out there in the wild on iTunes. One of his strongest podcasts, in my opinion at least, is the Answer Man podcast. I listened to that for awhile. I bought some equipment from Cliff, in fact I’m sitting in front of here in my studio a bunch of equipment that I got from Cliff. He got me hooked up with some digital recorders, mixers, and things that really kind of help me take thing to the next level both from an ease of use standpoint and I hope from an audio quality standpoint, although I’m still making some tweaks there. So many thanks to Cliff. He’s really great guy. He’s got a lot of passion around podcasting and we’re going to be using him as an example a little bit later in this episode, because one of the things I want to talk to some more is what we talked about last time, which is focusing on your passion. I got some really interesting feedback about that that I want to share with you. Hopefully we’ll get to talk about that more.
