Not Your Average Online Marketing Podcast
This is Not Your Average Online Marketing Podcast, and it is about CHANGING the way we think about online marketing...Right now, most podcasts are simply about growing the list, to sell the course, to get the money, to move you up the ladder - listeners = dollars, not listeners = people. This podcast may still grow our business...but here's the difference:Our goal is for every episode to be ACTIONABLE with steps you can take after listening. There’s no withholding of the “special sauce” that we’ve used to scale our business - just direct info that we’ve used to scale.We want our listeners to be able to ACTUALLY implement and get results from the podcast alone, and if they love it, be ready to become a customer if and when the time is right.Bottom Line: The Not Your Average Marketing Podcast gives freely, knowing that those that receive openly may take the next steps, share the podcast, or simply become raving fans.
