[00:45] Eric and Neil have discussed created new, unique content. [01:10] Now, they want to discuss quantity instead. [01:26] You need a team to help you achieve 300 posts per month. [01:55] It isn’t the rule of 7 anymore, it’s probably more like the rule of 15. [02:20] You have to be omnipresent. [02:45] There’s nothing wrong with covering the basics instead of coming up with the newest content. [03:15] The omni-channel approach is the way to get yourself seen.

[00:40] Bundle podcasts and offer them as a deal, similar to a book funnel. [00:57] Russell Brunson did this with his podcast and it worked. [01:20] If you don’t have a podcast, contact podcast creators, license their podcast, and repurpose their episodes. [01:55] Once someone buys from you, you can always re-pitch them. [02:40] Think of starting a service that categorizes podcasts. [03:00] Russell Brunson’s podcast scheme earned him thousands of dollars. [03:40] When someone checks out, try to sell them more stuff using a service like ClickFunnel. [04:14] Book funnels work really well, but we haven’t had the time to do it. [04:35] We will accept offers to help us write a book or monetize our podcast. [04:43] Check out Frank Kern to see how he did his funnel. [04:57] That’s it for today!

[00:38] As a kid, Neil thought he wanted to be a Doctor. [00:54] At first, he just wanted to make money, but that wasn’t a good way to find his passion. [01:25] What you’re naturally good at, tends to be what you are passionate about. [01:40] It makes it feel less like work, when you enjoy what you do. [02:15] When Eric was 9, he stole his mom’s credit card and signed up for MSN. [02:35] He then learned HTML and built his own site. [02:45] Once big games started coming out, he began to play them and was really good at them. [03:00] He thought he could be a professional gamer, but that wasn’t a career then. [03:15] He almost flunked out of college, but eventually found something that interested him. [03:57] That’s all for today! [04:17] Go here to see how many downloads the show is getting.

[02:48] Take all of your information that you have gathered using the above tools and combine the results. [03:10] Always try to provide a new, unique spin on the topic at hand. Have a point of view. [03:50] You have to have more “at bats”. [04:00] The more opportunities you have, the more likely it is for you to get a hit. [04:30] Look at content from a social and search perspective. [05:10] Check sites with similar posts and reach out to them. Get them to cross-link your post. [05:32] Share new posts on all social media sites.
