Re: Beware of Facebook Groups. Long Live Communities!

This article underscores exactly why I am using Mighty Networks for a new community I launched, Comarketing Space. It's a dedicated community platform with much greater administrative control and rich features vs. FB groups. I wanted a better, unique experience for members and am willing to educate them on using something besides another FB group.

Re: Stop bullying the entrepreneurs

Based on Entrepreneur's actions (which are frankly incomprehensible given the word 'entrepreneur' is...uh...A WORD IN OUR LANGUAGE), I won't be buying anything they sell.

I'm only sorry I didn't know they were doing this when I actually used to subscribe to their publication.

This is certainly not far-fetched and would make a lot of sense! I'm sharing this with the Learn Slack community (http://www.learnslack.com).

Thank you. I think I figured out that all *new* post will now show comments. I haven't figured out a way to show comments from existing posts. I did try to do it manually for a post but it did not show up.

Re: How a guy used hardcore couponing to build a lifestyle biz

BrandonUttley — Thu, 05 May 2016 08:29:11 -0000

This was one of the best Mixergy interviews I've heard. Josh was full of energy, clearly passionate about what he is doing...but most importantly, very humble. He came across as a "real" guy who has had a lot of struggles and finally successes due to his grit, faith and hard work. Congrats to you on the growth of SavingsAngel, and thank you for what you are giving back to needy families.

Re: How to Customize Slack for Social Media Teams

BrandonUttley — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:10:00 -0000

I am glad to see Social Media Examiner acknowledge Slack as a powerful platform for social media marketers.

Slack is an incredible tool that is limited only by your team's imagination in how to better listen to and serve your customers.

Great article, Chloe! There was also a very in-depth post by Zapier last year that had some fantastic tips on using Slack for brand monitoring, marketing, project management, etc. here: https://zapier.com/blog/sla...

I also started the Learn Slack community which anyone can join free to get tips and techniques on how to use Slack effectively: http://www.learnslack.com

I also recommend Hamster Pad as a great place to discover Slack communities you can join (including many for marketers): http://www.hamsterpad.com

Re: How To Get Podcast Interviews (+ Free Pitch Outreach Templates)

BrandonUttley — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 09:40:36 -0000

Taylor, thanks for this epic post! Your process for finding and vetting influencers is particularly excellent.

I provided some related tips in a post called How To Become The Perfect Podcast Guest (http://goforlaunch.io/becom....

One of the things that drives me crazy as a podcast host is getting canned pitches, where I can tell the person hasn't taken the time to actually listen to my show or bother to understand the types of guests I am seeking. Needless to say, I don't even respond to these off-the-mark queries.

Would love to have you on the Go For Launch podcast sometime if you're interested!

Re: Is Blogging Dead? Building Your Content Home on Rented Land

BrandonUttley — Fri, 01 Jan 2016 13:11:53 -0000

Fair enough, Mike! But I now consider my blog more like a nice storage unit. :) All my stuff will be there, but it's when I take it out and display it on much larger properties that it really starts to matter.

Re: Is Blogging Dead? Building Your Content Home on Rented Land

BrandonUttley — Fri, 01 Jan 2016 07:11:47 -0000

This is an important discussion — thanks for having it.

Being heard or seen anywhere now online is more and more challenging, despite the myriad of publishing choices. I write about this at length in my new book, Pod Castaway. As a podcaster and blogger, I struggle to get traction, and I know I'm not alone.

I wholeheartedly agree we need to kill the concept of your blog being your "home base." I think now you have to go where the people are (like Facebook), especially when it becomes obvious that the traffic isn't showing up to your site. Maybe the "home base" theory works for large, successful publishers...but not the majority of bloggers. I'd rather my content actually be seen or heard on "rented land" than it get zero engagement on my pretty vacant property.

Re: If Podcasts Are the New Blogs, Enjoy the Golden Age While It Lasts

Jessi, you are wise to hold off on creating your own podcast. You can more easily test the podcasting waters by being a guest on other people's podcasts first, to gauge your interest and ability to drive web traffic (and, more importantly, conversions). These are some of the things I wrote about in my new book, Pod Castaway (http://www.podcastawaybook.com).
