How Content Marketing is Changing with Disruptive Entrepreneur Rob Moore
In this weeks episode, I welcome Rob Moore, The Disruptive Entrepreneur "One of the ways to reach as many people as possible is to leverage all the media. One of the ways to really help people is give them consistent content. And if you give them consistent content, you're likely to build your following and your fan base. It was all always about trickle down. It's never about monetizing uprights and no ads on YouTube videos and no interruptions and breaks for ads, it was always about I give you content and maybe later down the line you'll find my books, my podcasts, my audiobooks, my courses, my mentorship, my masterminds, who knows. And that was an effective strategy and that's made me tens of millions of pounds doing that without having to directly pitch." In episode #215 we chat about: Podcasts - how to monetize yours. Mental health - the effects of haters on social media. Content marketing and how it's changing. Playing the bigger game. How playing the smaller game only leads to more pain. Let's StartUp!

Ask Alex Anything
Welcome to episode 214, #AskAlexAnything. On the first Saturday of every month I answer any of your questions. It can be on absolutely everything - entrepreneurship, business, personal stuff, health and fitness stuff, podcasting. Last month I received the following questions: 1) "When you're thinking about moving into a new job, starting a new business full time. What would your process of transitioning out of another full time job be?" 2) "If you are committing to putting out two episodes a week of your content, be that podcast, vlog, blog and you manage to get into a featured section on that platform and you start to build a loyal following. How quickly do you think you can get to 1000 downloads or views per episode?" 3) "I've written a list of guests to interview, but I worry that I will run out if I am niche of niche. I've only managed to create a list of about 20 guests." Let me know if you have any questions for next month's Ask Alex Anything. One of my most favourite things that I do is trying to help people, just because I might have been there, done it, failed at it. If not, I'll know someone most definitely who has.
