One of the great things I love about putting out this weekly podcast is the number of questions that come in from my listeners. It’s a fantastic way for me to get a sense of what’s on your marketing mind, and of course, for me to answer them every now and then in the actual show itself. And that’s what I’m doing in this episode. So grab a cuppa and settle in (pen and notepad at the ready) as I tackle the following marketing challenges and provide plenty of marketing tips for small business:
- How do you build your personal brand? And should you be building your personal brand above and beyond your business brand?
- How do you ensure the quality of the audio in your video and podcasts is top notch?
- How do you get your brand in front on senior management?
- What social media information should be included on your business card?
- What ways can you promote your consultancy-based services to the corporate sector? And what additional revenue streams could such a business create?
- How important are ezine articles given the popularity of video marketing and podcasting?
- What role does marketing play in preparing a business for sale?
- Should I shouldn’t I interview Jordan Belfort – AKA The Wolf Of Wall Street?!
- What are my thoughts on using social media as a marketing channel?
- Should a small business employ a PR agency? or are there cheaper / easier ways to get publicity?
One of the aims of putting this episode together, whilst sharing some marketing gems with you, was to also give you a sense of what it would be like to work with me as a Member of my Deep Dive Mastermind. In simple terms, we meet each Tuesday at 10:00AM AEST via a webinar which I host – each Member gets the opportunity to provide an update on where they’re at with growing their business and then ask a marketing question of me, which I of course answer, and the rest of the group also gets the opportunity to answer as well. It’s a fantastically accountable way of staying motivated and improving your marketing at the same time. You can find out more about my Deep Dive Mastermind here.

Great Q&A podcast session Tim.
For number 2. a suggestion might be if the camera doesn’t support microphone inputs is to record the sound on digital sound recorder at the same time and then merge them at edit time. Quick and easy.
