1. I am rebranding from DrivenEngagement.com to EpicWinInc.com. How can podcasting help to establish my new brand vs. Google Hangouts? Isn’t it better to embrace the new strategy of Google Plus and Hangouts more important than podcasting? After all, this isn’t 2005. 😉

   • Hi Christopher – Is your new website up yet, it wasn’t pulling for me to check out yet? I do like the drivenengagment.com feel and look though! 🙂 And yes, depending on what you’re looking for I think a dual combo with hangout + podcasting can be brilliant for you. I like to teach take the incredible content you create and then Re-purpose it everywhere! We’ll be talking about this today about taking hangouts and repurposing them, which is exactly what you can do. I’ll touch on the differences in community to – but for a quickie the iTunes demographic is Amazing – they are affluent, hard to reach, and looking for experts to help solve their problems and entertain them – plus your content is easier this way to take on the go in a podcast form. and that’s just the start! 🙂

3. How do I find a competent person (and fair priced!) to do the uploading etc of the recordings to Itunes? Is Fivvr, etc. the only way to do that?

   Many thanks!

   PS Will you be offering a replay? And Thank You, Kris, for making this all happen.

5. I’m debuting in person Consciosness Salon for those looking for meaningful convos on consciousness. I’m wondering on to extend the convo beyond the event. Or I may use my flipthis soul courage and soul reinvention coaching as the platform for the podcast. Live your input

   • Hey Melanie! The idea of your podcast to grow your community on a global level is what I can definitely seeing working for you too. You could make it both and then have an engaging show where people can leave their questions that you can answer live on the podcast and build your credibility, trust and community (while still having the in person touch!) (also did you get my email on your strategy session?)

6. Hi Kris

   When starting your podcast what ideas do you have regarding financing your new venture? I have a background in Online Marketing & Online Auctions and have been doing that for sometime. However, after a few recent financial downturns in he past year I went back to corporate sales positions, in short term it solved some money problems but left me little to no time for my self employmt or family puruits. My podcast ideas revolve around two different niches, one on entrepreneurship & other in Dating & relating Niche

   At this point I believe I’m better off finding a part time W2 or 1099,bridge job while building my own businesses aand would appreciate any thoughts/advice you have on that. Feel that building my own profitable business is more secure than a W2 job in this economy & it definetly fits my personality better.

   I’ve already looked at work thru various agencies as a subcontractor as well as fun temp work, Bartender, Congressman,Senator etc,lol! But again appreciate your thoughts

11. Great show, ladies. I’d just like to really stress out that you can do both, hangout and then extract the MP3 form YouTube and then purpose it in a podcast.
    Just do it!

12. Hi Kris, I’m about to release my book on increasing employability. How do I make a big impact or noise, when launching on Amazon?

    • Hi Sophia –
      1) Make sure you pick the right categories, 2) make sure your keywords are strong, 3) have a book buying frenzy over a couple of days to get the word out and poeple buying wihtia 24-48 hour period to get it to rank high on Amazon! (blog post to come soon on how I hit #1 on Amazon too)

13. What is the point of a podcast when you can have a google hangout
    300 bucks for a hangout studio and 1500 for a podcast studio

    • Hi Dave – you can use the exact same equipment that you use on a google hangout as you do for your podcast. What I like to teach is to repurpose the audio or the actual video from the hangout
      and create a podcast with it. you can easily strip the audio from the hangout or that the video file and then have your content be easily found in iTunes, Stitcher Radio, Blackberry, etc. and the podcast networks for people to also find your content and easily take it on the go with them!

      • Kris, thanks for replying and I bow to your greater knowledge
        Google Hangout seems to replace podcasting for me
        Feels like radio v TV
        Best

15. Hi Kris,

    The hangout was simply amazing and helped me in an amazing way. Will it be published or posted to YouTube? If so, can you tell me when? I’d like to watch it again. I’ve started reading your book, and I’m already getting great insight. Thanks again.

    Regards,

    Misty
