It's episode 200th of Australia's favourite marketing podcast!

200 200 – It’s episode 200 of Australia’s #1 marketing podcast. And I’m joined by a very special guest. Very special!

It’s the big 200^th episode! If you’ve been listening this whole time, thank you, and if you’ve just joined us, welcome to our little community that revels in marketing GOLD for the motivated small business owner. And boy oh boy, along the way, I sure have learned a lot about marketing and small business myself, and I’ve had the opportunity to interview some of the most astoundingly talented marketers on the face of the planet.

But this episode of Australia’s #1 marketing podcast is extra special because I’m joined by the guy who started it all with me from Episode 1 – Luke “Lukey” Moulton. The man is a self confessed online and mobile marketing geek, and throughout the episode we take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about some of our favourite guests, experiences, and learnings from the show.

We also get into some great learnings about Facebook ads, the power of mobile, and the importance of owning a niche. Let’s do this, team!

In this session of The Small Business Big Marketing Show, you’ll discover:

My greatest learnings from 200 episodes of the Small Business Big Marketing podcast.
Why if you are not investing in Facebook ads, you should probably start today.
Why virality is not all about great products and services – you have to think outside of the box.
Which marketing book Lukey thinks you can’t live without.
How re-marketing can help bring people back to your website and secure purchases.
Why conversion rate optimisation is the new black.
All about the power of operating within a niche – you don’t need to be a Jack of all trades.
Why I got a little misty when watching the First Kiss youtube video, and the power of harnessing that raw emotion in marketing.
Why experts love to share their knowledge.
