BONUS: Art Jones interviews me on my digital marketing journey | DMR #141b

Just after I interviewed Art Jones for episode 141 of DMR – he also interviewed me for his own show. And it struck me that on that show, I talked a lot about my own background in digital marketing; and my own views on online marketing success, and on podcasting too.

That’s not a side of me that you get to hear very often here on DMR – so thanks to Art, I decided to release that interview – as a bonus episode here.

It’s going to be a little bit different, but if you’re a regular listener, it’ll give you an opportunity to find out a little more about me, the man behind the Digital Marketing Radio microphone.

Here are a few of the things that we discuss:

  • Am I a jackhammer or a hummingbird?
  • Do I take advice from many people, or just a few people?
  • What was my first business that I started in the year 2000?
  • Did the things I learned from business in the past help me with building an online business?
  • How I got involved in SEO and making money online
  • What’s the story behind the 13 Pillars of Internet Marketing?
  • How did the 26-Week Digital Marketing Plan get started?
  • When did I discover podcasting and what drew me to it?
  • How did I manage to put together such a professional podcast process?
  • What do I think of LinkedIn as a social networking tool?
  • What advice to I have for fellow podcasters?
  • What advice do I have on video marketing with YouTube?

And also towards the end Art asks me:

  • If I only had one word to describe myself what would it be?
  • Do I have a guilty pleasure?
  • What’s the biggest risk I’ve ever taken?
  • What’s my biggest life dream?
  • If I could ask just one person, alive or dead for advice, who would that be? And why?
  • Name 2 books that you can recommend that you are reading, or plan to read.
  • Share 2 pieces of advice for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs.

To conclude:

Just to the end of the discussion I mentioned that I’m going to be launching a brand new podcast. I’m also going to be launching a brand new training program.
