Earlier this week I promised a video revealing what has increased

I’ve posted the slides as well as an outline of my conference session at the New Media Expo, The Magic Triad: 3 Crucial Ingredients for Creating Compelling Content and a Loyal Audience. This was a “standing room only” session and the most attended of the conference. Grab the downloads here.

I just finished an interview with Charles Stricklin of the WordPress Podcast. It’s content for the Professional Podcasting Course. We did the call over Skype and recorded it with Pamela. I’ve used Pamela quite often for such interviews, but apparently not as much as Charles who uses it to record his show, The WordPress Podcast.

Charles shared a great tip with me today, so I thought I’d pass it on to you. It fixes the fact that your Pamela recordings have both people all mashed together on the same track, making it harder to edit and adjust volume.

As much as I enjoy creating content and teaching, I don’t do it often enough and I think I’ve figured out why. I’m facing an obstacle that it seems more people face than we might realize.

It’s something that people talk about occasionally, often in a joking manner, usually with a bit of a negative connotation. As it turns out, it’s a very real obstacle for some people and that includes me.

Do you know what the ultimate asset is that you can create for your business? I’m currently working on a new e-book and series of videos that talks about what the ultimate asset is and how you can create it.

Survey Says

A while back I sent out a survey to the community to find out what podcast producers wanted to learn about most. I was intrigued by how things had changed since 2005 when I first started podcast consulting. The results also offer some very important insights for your own podcast.

This post begins a series of posts that goes to the basis of everything I do as a podcaster and business owner. At first glance you may wonder why I’m sharing them on a blog about online content creation, but I guarantee they will help you produce better content, connect more effectively with your audience, make more money and have more fun!

Let’s talk about something that too many business owners either have too much of, have to little of or are controlled by when they don’t have any of it at all… (more…)

FeedBurner just announced a new feature that I’ve been wanting for quite awhile. Now you can transfer a feed from one account/login to another. If you’ve been using separate logins for different feeds, you know that it can be a pain to deal with. (Or maybe you were smarting than me and just used one account to begin with.) The process, however, is not as straight forward as outlined on their site.

Does your WordPress theme keep changing back to the boring default theme?
