Being a blogger has changed my life. Seriously. I know it's a bold statement to make, but it really has made a difference in my life. Both from a personal standpoint, in regards to the relationships I've been able to create and the opportunities its given me as a speaker, etc., but also as a business owner, too. Blogging has fundamentally changed the way that I build my businesses. In February I got the chance to meet up with my mate, Darren Rowse in his homeland of Australia. You might also know Darren simply as 'ProBlogger'. He's been blogging for over 10-years, and is one of the most sought-after authorities in the niche worldwide. We enjoyed lunch together, and talked about a lot of things, blogging was included, of course - as well as podcasting. Shortly after, Darren reached out to me, and invited me to write a podcasting guide for the Problogger audience. The post was one of the most popular in April, with many saying it was the best podcast tutorial they'd come across online, with 'real' step-by-step actions. Awesome sauce! It was a given that when the time came about for me to do a podcast episode on the subject of blogging, that Darren was going to be my go-to guy. And trust me, guys, he does NOT disappointment when it comes to dropping one blogging value bombs after another on our call. In this episode, you’ll find out: The difference between blogging for business, and personal blogging. How Darren keeps his blogs lively and consistently growing. How to build your blogging presence online. The importance of valuable, actionable content, over just 'today's blog post'. How to utilize social media properly, to help grow your blog. Why Darren loves being everywhere, including Twitter, Facebook and Google+. The importance of story telling as a blogger, and why it's so powerful. What life is like as a full-time 'problogger'. Darren's #1 tip to doing business in the new economy. Much more! Items mentioned in this episode include: ProBlogger.net Digital Photography School 31 Days to Build a Better Blog ProBlogger's Guide to Blogging for Business Darren on Twitter Darren on Facebook Darren on Google+ The 7-Day New Business Bootcamp Like I said, for me, blogging has totally made me flip the switch on the way that I build my businesses. The ability to be able to reach out, touch, inspire and have people take action, based on the words that I produce (no matter where I am typing them - these words are coming to you from HK Airport, btw!) is remarkable to me. I thoroughly believe that if you are not blogging, consistently, as a business owner in the next few years you are going to lose the race, plain and simple. Your competition has started already - I guarantee it! Free Transcript Download Click here to download the full transcription of NBP013.

As you may have noticed, I've really increased my amount of content creation recently. Whenever there is talk about content, SEO, search engine optimization, naturally comes up because we're all creating content more and more - so we can be found on Google and other search engines. I don't claim to be an SEO expert, but I do know that when Google released the Panda and Penguin updates last year, it caused trouble for a lot of small business owners. I've brought on today's guest, Neil Patel, who is a business SEO expert, to bring a little calm to the storm. He's the founder of two Internet companies, namely Crazy Egg and KISSmetrics, and he blogs at QuicksSprout.com. He's advised some very large companies such as HP, Amazon and AOL in order to help them make more money from the Internet. In this episode of the New Business Podcast, Neil shares some great SEO tips, and I know you're gonna love it! In this episode, you’ll find out: How link building has changed. The easiest and most effective way to get backlinks to your site. Neil's take on all of the changes Google made last year. The three most important tools to have in your SEO arsenal. The role that social media plays in the overall SEO landscape. What type of content medium works best for SEO, and best SEO practices for images. The best type of content for converting customers. Neil's #1 tip to doing business in the new economy. Much more! Items mentioned in this episode include: Crazy Egg KISSmetrics Quick Sprout SEOMoz Raven Tools Wordtracker The Beginner's Guide to SEO The 7-Day New Business Bootcamp As the SEO landscape continues to change, it's obvious that Google will also continue to change the way they rank results in their search engine, and the way that people find the content that is available through Google, and their social media platform, Google+. For me, however, the answer is still the same to making sure that you're found easily online - create content that helps, inspires, educates and perhaps entertains a little. That's the best type of SEO anyone can focus on!

As you may have noticed, I've started to put my foot down on the gas a little lately, when it comes to the creation and publishing of content. The main reason why is because of the impact that New Media Expo had on me, back in January. It's just so darn obvious that this is the way to go, when it comes to building a platform, creating new 'fans' and generally making things happen when it comes to online business. When I was at the event I got the chance to finally meet up with my buddy C.C. Chapman for the first time in person. It was great to hang out with him a little, talk business and more importantly - talk CONTENT. C.C. is without a doubt, my go-to guy when it comes to creating great content, and marketing it to a focused group of followers, hence having them share that content, and helping to build your tribe. In this episode of the New Business Podcast, I sit down with C.C. for almost an hour - you're gonna love this chat! In this episode, you’ll find out: How to get started with content creation the RIGHT way. CC's favorite tips on utilizing the power of photography in marketing. Why every single business owner should be blogging. CC's books, 'Content Rules' and 'Amazing Things Will Happen'. How SEO has changed, and why Content is the new value bomb. The piece of content CC's most proud of - a video. CC's #1 tip to doing business in the new economy. Much more!

Content marketing seems to be all the rage right now. In fact, in the last 2 months alone I've presented in front of over 600 people, live on stage (at two separate events), on the subject, in regards to virtual assistants helping you with the repurposing and marketing of your content online. The fact is that 'SEO' has changed a lot. I personally feel that it's almost 'dead' in the traditional sense and the focus of SEO, as a concept, is going to be more focused towards creating content thats easily consumed and shared, rather than building links! With more and more small business owners having to embrace content marketing - and it's a good thing, people, because it allows you to compete with the big boys, too - I wanted to get someone on the podcast that REALLY knows what he's talking about when it comes to creating and marketing of content with a focus on building businesses. So, I reached out to author, speaker and content marketing expert, Jay Baer on the subject and gave him a good old grillin' for the New Business Tribe! In this episode, you’ll find out: Where social media is heading for the small business owner. The difference between 'being social' and 'doing social media'. Jay's insights on how he feels video is changing the landscape. How to repurpose content in a smart, savvy way. Jay's top tips on utilizing Twitter to get more customers.

Yet so many small business owners that I sit down and chat with, still haven't got started utilizing the power of web video and what it can do to catapult their brand, marketing message - and ultimately... profits. I've also been a fan of video, and as you might remember from Episode 5 of the New Business Podcast, where I sat down with YouTube expert James Wedmore, the importance of small business owners, and solopreneurs using video in their overall marketing strategy has never been more important as it is today. This that episode with James, I've received so many questions and pleads (practically!) for more information on getting started with online video marketing. So, I decided to bring on my personal 'Video Yoda', Gideon Shalwick. Gideon is THE GUY I go to when it comes to everything and anything video related. He rocks the socks of video. Plain and simple.

The world of online business is a tricky one. It's filled with those that what to genuinely add value, like yours-truly (if I must say so, myself!) and those that - let's be honest - are just out for a quick buck! My guest in today's episode of the New Business Podcast is one of those people that simply oozes value - all out, hard core value. Whether you're a wannabe internet entrepreneur, or a more established brick 'n mortar business owner that it wanting to become more active online, Ryan Lee's story is as inspiring as it is encouraging and today he's laying down the stepping stones you need to be taking to craft your own success in the online business world. In This Episode How Ryan got started building business online - whilst still working full-time! Why producing 'out of the park' content is what really matters. How the 'lifestyle' keeps Ryan super-motivated and what it means to his family. A complete outline of the typical 'Ryan Lee Day'. How transparency has been the cornerstone to Ryan's success.

I mean, even the most seasoned entrepreneur can take something away from this - one of the most energetic conversations we've had so far on the podcast! For me, the biggest takeaway here was Ryan's focus on the 'lifestyle' side of his business - or, more importantly the focus he puts on being able to continue to crush it with his business, but still spend plenty of time with his family.

Click here to Subscribe to the 'New Business Podcast' via iTunes! In the world of online video, the 'Big Daddy' of all video sharing sites, YouTube regins supreme, basically uncontested. Yes, you'll find cute little cat videos and clips of people doing silly things when drunk (always amusing), but there has been a shift in the last few years on YouTube - one that is being lead by small business owners, experts, brands and new-age entrepreneurs - who in turn are flooding the platform with high quality content in order to create awareness, market themselves and overall dominate their niche. In this episode of the New Business Podcast, I sit down with one guy that has not only carved out an impressive following on site himself, but also someone that also helps others do the same. Today it's all about YouTube and all about James Wedmore. In This Episode The importance of getting active on YouTube in today's business climate. How to grow a YouTube channel in a simple, yet effective way. Why you need to be posting new clips regularly. The in's and out's of SEO (yes, even on YouTube!) for your videos. Engaging viewers and helping them share your content. How to convert video viewers to websites visitors, and beyond. James' #1 tip to doing business in the new economy. Much more! Important Mentions JamesWedmore.com James on YouTube Gary Vaynerchuk Marie Forleo Dollar Shave Club Promo Video (8,000,000 views +) NMP003 - Pat Flynn on 'Being Everywhere' The 7-Day New Business Bootcamp As a side note, I can say that I've experienced some solid success with YouTube. Some of my videos have done much better than others, but thats the thing - if I hadn't of shot, edited and published them, I never would have known what works well, and what doesn't. I recently re-shot the 'Bootcamp Promo' video. The reason why is because I felt it wasn't high enough quality when it came to the content and the overall message. The lesson here is that if you're unhappy with something, it doesn't mean you have to put up with it - just delete and re-shoot. Like I did.

In the world of online business there aren't too many people that truly stand out for all the RIGHT reasons. My guest on this third episode of the New Business Podcast, however, is one of those rare occurrences! In the last 4-years, Pat Flynn has carved out a very loyal, committed following from the general 'noise' of the internet. A following that allows him to enjoy recurring revenues in his business, amounting to $50,000 a month, upwards! He's done this through smart marketing tactics, massive amounts of online content and a philosophy that he coined that is simply known as 'Be Everywhere'. Couple this together with his overall transparency when it comes to his business in general, and you've got someone that really does stand out from the online entrepreneurial crowd. Pat and I are very good friends and we have a lot of fun in this episode - but, believe me, the content you're about to consume amounts to a huge game-changer for your business. Enjoy. In this episode, you’ll find out: Why 'Being Everywhere' is so important in today's online world. How Pat has built some an amazingly loyal community of fans. The secret 'sweet spot' for online video length and getting started. How podcasting has built his confidence and helped with public speaking. How Pat uses Facebook to extend and build relationships, and not 'promote'. Why Amazon Kindle eBook's are also included in the 'Be Everywhere' mindset. Pat’s #1 tip to doing business in the new economy. Much more! Items mentioned in this episode include: SmartPassiveIncome.com Pat's Facebook Page Pat's YouTube Channel The Smart Passive Income Podcast on iTunes BlogWorld Expo (now New Media Expo) Pat's 'Double Take' on stage! (Thanks to Cliff Ravenscraft for the clip!) The 7-Day New Business Bootcamp Pat is obviously a big inspiration to the blogging community. As someone that continues to pursue different angles and ways to get in front of new audiences, etc., he's surely on the right track to continued business success. But the big takeaway here, for me anyway, as a fellow business owner is the importance of truly being everywhere, as Pat puts it. The power behind this philosophy in today's market just cannot and should not be ignored. Go and do likewise, everyone - it's time to get busy!

It is with great pleasure and excitement that today I publish the first ever episode of 'The New Business Podcast' - something I've been working on in the background for about 2-months, or so now. Podcasting is so important to the growth of an online brand, away from the brand (or, in this case, my blog) nowadays. The ability to reach any audience that wouldn't usually find you is huge! Not only that, but recording these things is so much fun! I'll be publishing three full episodes in the coming week, so you've all got something to do over the Christmas holiday. Then once a week for the first two months of the year, before slowing down to the regular twice-a-month schedule. Why? Because I just know that the content you'll be consuming in the next couple of months ALONE, will give you a massive boost to the beginning of the year - trust me! In the first ever episode I sit down with Facebook expert Amy Porterfield, to talk about the in's and out's of utilizing the largest online community in the world to help market and promote your business and brand. You're gonna love it! In This Episode The best type of content to share on Facebook. How to get started with Facebook Advertising. The importance of consistent branding across all of Facebook. How to use your Timeline cover image to promote events and more. Why your engagement score will go up with great content. How to utilize promotions and competitions on Facebook. Amy's #1 tip to doing business in the new economy. Much more!

The chances of engaging, stimulating, helping and eventually converting casual visitors and fans, into customers and advocates is far greater on a platform like this, than by having someone find you in a random search on Google.
