My Plan to Start Running Paid Ads

My Plan to Start Running Paid Ads

I’ve always been too scared to advertise. There are a few reasons for this.  I don’t fully trust Facebook or other digital ad networks. (Does anyone?) They have pulled the rug out from under me so many times that I feel foolish giving them money.  I don’t know what I’m doing, and therefore don’t want to burn cash.  What’s funny is that my team has processed millions of dollars of ad budget for our clients and have had great success. But when it comes to my own money, I’ve always been too chicken.  Here’s why it’s different for me now.  For Copyblogger and for TimStodz, it’s obvious to me that the best way for me to serve my audience is by writing high level newsletters. I never imagined I would be in the newsletter business, but I’m surprisingly good at it and best of all, I LOVE doing it.  Copyblogger makes about $8000 a week if I sell out of sponsorships for all three issues. TimStodz makes about $400 a week since it’s only 1 issue a week and the email list is just over 8000 people.  The point is, if I am able to earn email subscribers for $5 a pop or less, than I can continue building up the revenue and growing the list into a monster.  For Copyblogger, I want to get 1,000,000 subscribers. For TimStodz, my short term goal is 100,000.  It’s a good plan … I think?  Follow along at https://www.timstodz.com/

3 Reasons Why You Should Start a Podcast

3 Reasons Why You Should Start a Podcast

You should start a podcast. Here are 3 reasons why.   1. There is plenty of room in the podcasting space.  There's a false narrative that podcasts are over crowded.  It's true that there are a lot of podcasts out there, but it's also true that only a small fraction of podcasts survive long enough to make it past 100 episodes. Most podcasts haven't published a new episode in weeks. Hardly any podcast publishers publish their content consistently over time.   2. Podcasts are easy to create.  All you have to do is go to anchor.fm and you can create a free account. After that, it will take you a few minutes to get you podcasts hooked up to apple podcasts and Spotify, but the technical trouble is nothing compared to building a website.  In addition, if you have ear buds, you can record and publish a podcast with decent sound quality. There are lots of podcasts with millions of views where the hosts record directly from their cell phone.  3. Podcasts are great networking tools. When I first started my podcast, it was a great opportunity to meet people and get networked with other professionals. Till this day, it's one of the most valuable resources I have at my disposal and a lot of my closest business relationships started with my podcast.   Sign up for my newsletter at https://www.timstodz.com/

Welcome to the Soaring Twenties with Thomas Bevan

Welcome to the Soaring Twenties with Thomas Bevan

In this week’s episode, I speak with @Thomas Bevan.   Thomas is a writer and a crypto enthusiast. He writes a weekly column on The Commonplace.   So much of the crypto world is built around hype, FOMO, and excitement. Yet, much is unknown about how crypto will impact our world and our digital economies.   Thomas writes a weekly article speculating what he thinks may happen, and how these changes are going to affect those of us who live in the creator economy.   Thomas makes a great comparison of this decade to the “roaring twenties.” There are many similarities.   In the roaring twenties (by that I mean the 1920’s) the United States was on the back end of the Spanish flu pandemic and was on the tail end of World War I. As a partial result, we found ourselves in a rebellious new decade where art, finances, and capital was permeating the entire society.   In our conversation, Thomas and I speak about the similarities, and how crypto could lead to a similar decade, which he calls “The Soaring Twenties.”   History doesn’t repeat itself, but

Pat Walls: Using SEO to Build Start Story into a Worldwide Brand

In today’s episode, we speak with Pat Walls, the founder of Starter Story.   Story story has huge huge success over the last few years, and Pat credits most of that success to good SEO that leverages user-generated content.

It was really cool to listen to the evolution of the business and to learn about the trial and error process that Pat leaned into that ultimately generates the most money and delivers the most value.   Pat was a great guest and I’m happy we got to talk.   Now please help me welcome, Pat Walls.

How to Use Leverage to Grow Your Business at Massive Scale with Eric Jorgenson

How to Use Leverage to Grow Your Business at Massive Scale with Eric Jorgenson

A few months ago, I stumbled across the work of Eric Jorgenson. Eric had recently published his best-selling book, entitled “The Almanac of Naval Ravikant.   In his book, Eric breaks down and articulately conceptualizes the business concepts of leverage, which were introduced to him by a very popular Twitter thread, written by Naval Ravikant.    Leverage is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but how do you actually define this concept? More importantly, how do you use leverage to generate massive scale in your business?   These days, it’s not uncommon for a one-person business to generate a million dollars of revenue. It’s not uncommon for billion-dollar companies to only have 10-15 employees. How is this possible?   In this episode, Eric gives us an in-depth master class on leverage. In addition, we went through some of the specific modules in his course, and he gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the material he teaches. It’s a special privilege given to you as a member of the Copyblogger community.   Eric is great. He’s generous, kind, and easy to talk to.   Check out his course at https://www.ejorgenson.com/leverage. The link to his course is in the show notes of the podca

How Crypto is Reshaping Content Entrepreneurship

How Crypto is Reshaping Content Entrepreneurship

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Copyblogger Podcast. My name is Tim Stoddart, thank you so much for joining me. This week’s episode is something different. Copyblogger has always been dedicated to helping you build a better business by creating better content. The internet provides us all with an even playing field in which to write articles, serve our audience, and build a great business. But what happens when the fabric of the internet itself is changing. How do you adjust to such drastic changes, and stay ahead of the curve? To get to the bottom of some of these questions, I invited Dror Poleg onto the episode. Dror writes a weekly newsletter at drorpoleg.com, and he writes about what the future of work will look like as blockchain, crypto currencies and NFT’s will becomes an integral part of how we interact with each other and make transactions. In addition, Dror has some very interesting ideas on how products will be created and sold. For instance, now that anything can be tokenized, what is to stop entrepreneurs from selling services and products that are broken down to each level. What if you could write a sentence of copy, and be paid through an NFT? What is gestures, or even good behavior can be rewarded through digital tokens on the blockchain? It’s a fascinating topic, and I am so thrilled Dror took the time to speak with us. He’s a brilliant mind and I look forward to reading his newsletter every week. As content marketers, it’s important we keep up with the times. With that, please help me welcome Dror Poleg.

This conversation with Jeff was one of my favorites I've ever had on the podcast. I first learned about Jeff's work when he and I commented on one of Polina Pompliano's Twitter comments. Since then, we became friendly through DM's on Twitter.

Once I started to see more of Jeff's work, I realized how much amazing work he has created in the video production space and the creative art space for Live Nation. However, it wasn't until we started talking about our shared interest in NFT's that I truly started to become interested in Jeff's work.

Once we got together on the podcast, our conversation went in many different directions.

Steph Smith and The Success of Her Book, "Doing Content Right" - EP 115

My guest today is Steph Smith.

Steph Smith is a writer, a traveler and currently is leading the team at Trends. Trends is the product associated with The Hustle. You may know them from their insanely popular daily newsletter.

Recently, Steph published an epic guide and resource for people who want to improve their writing skills and create written content for the internet. The guide, entitled "Doing Content Right", has sold more than 1500 copies and has earned Steph over $40,000 in the first few months of sale.

I've read it and it's a masterful piece of work.

In our podcast, Steph and I spoke about the art of writing, what it means to work in public and well as her past experiences as an engineer, and how her journey of traveling the world eventually brought her to be the team lead at Trends.

Steph has mountains of wisdom to share and she does so with grace.

I loved our conversation and I know you will too.

Please help me welcome, Steph Smith.

Brian Casel: How to Systematize Your Service Business - EP 114

Brian Casel: How to Systematize Your Service Business - EP 114

Service businesses have a problem. They can only scale their business in proportion to the amount of time they can buy. If they sign new clients, that means they need to be able to serve those clients which means they need to hire more employees.

If you are doing service work, there is only so much you can increase your prices before you hit a ceiling. So how do we scale a service business such as an agency?

How do we free up our time while simultaneously increasing our profits?

This is where Brian Casel comes in.

Brian is the founder of Audience Opps, which is a productized content agency that has found a great way to deliver high quality content to clients while scaling the business.

Brian has taken the lessons he has learned from Audience Opps and created software products and education products that help other agency owner develop these processes into their own work flow so they can automate their businesses and make more money.

I've been a fan of Brian's work since I first heard him on the Unemployable podcast a few years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed watching him "build in public" while he develops and ships his own products and continues to grow a significant business.

I had a great time talking to him and I know you will enjoy his insight. Please help me welcome, Brian Casel.
