Melody Campbell interviews Ron McDaniel

December 14, 2007 | 1 Comment

Melody Campbell, the Small Business Guru, just published a podcast interviewing me on Get More Business Podcast.

She works with a lot of small business owners and we covered a wealth of knowledge on how small businesses can generate buzz with activities, both online and off.

Even though we initially had some technical difficulties, she was a very positive and fun person to talk to. She is just one of those people you know you would like to know - right away. I am glad we had a chance to meet.

5 Top Business Podcasts - Buzzoodle

November 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Anita Campbell knows how to podcasts. She has done it for years and has 100’s at her great small business resource site: smbtrendwire.com.

I am please today to find out my podcast, from over a year ago, is still in the Top 5 Most Popular Business Podcasts.

This is a great example of how PR and media have changed. Doing the podcast so long ago did get us a bump in visibility, but nothing like being in a major magazine or on TV. But the lifespan of the PR is incredible. When I am featured in traditional media, I see a huge leap in web visits, calls, mail, etc. But within a week it is long gone.

With the new media, like podcasting, the payback is measured in the course of years. I have added quick comments to other people’s blogs that years later still produce steady visitors.

The key is the long view. Steadily build new, timeless roads for people to find you and your visibility will continue to grow and pay back your effort.

May 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Tracy Sheridan of Waxxi invited me to an interactive podcast with Seth Godin. I am looking forward to this because I am curious about the technology and want to interact with Seth. Below is the email she sent (reprinted with permission) and you are all invited.

After having read your post about The Dip, and Seth, I thought I would personally invite you to our next Waxxi ‘cast, which features Seth. What we do is allow people, globally, to talk to our guests via phone and/or IM. We allow them to be a part of the podcast experience (hence, the interactive podcast’) vs. just listening.We’d love it if you could join. The date is June 6th (1:30pm ET) and more info is here: http://waxxi.us/sethgodin.html

I’m a big fan of Buzzoodle Buzz Marketing Blog, and a big believer in WOM marketing.

I am having a good time listening to the podcasts on the Cullinane and Green Report. They have some wonderful, insightful guests and now I am jealous I am not out meeting more of these cool people.

Could you start doing a podcast or blog and interview cool people? Absolutely.
