Episode 017 Transcript
This is episode 17. We’re still running weekly and this week we’re on the road. Some of you may be noticing right away if you’re long time listeners of the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast that the audio quality on this episode is a little bit different than what you might be used to.
I’m on the road, I’m headed out to do a gig for my day job. I’m presiding over a technical conference out in San Jose this week. But, I’ve got a weekly podcast now and that means that I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do to get this thing out. I thought what I would try is a little mobile recording, so we’re going to try a few different technologies.
I’ve got a really fancy Edirol handheld voice recorder, but I’m not using that right now – right now I’m using my iPhone because when I cranked up my Edirol it was out of batteries, which is really frustrating because I checked it before I left the house and it looks like I didn’t check carefully enough.
So I’m in the car on the way to the airport and I wanted to get you up to date on all the things that are happening around MasonWorld.com and in internet marketing and I wanted to make sure that we got an episode out there.
There are lots of good best practices for recording on the road and recording in the car is not one of them, but I figured it would be okay on this episode because what I’ve got for you today we’re going to talk a little bit about things that you can do when you are trying to hold down a regular job and build your internet marketing business on the side, some best practices for how to deal with your employer and so forth.
Then we’re going to cut to the interview with Cliff Ravenscraft, that’s going to be part two of the interview that we started last week. And we’ll go from there.
Before we do that, I was reminded the last time I tried to do this I was actually on the road in Korea and I recorded part of an episode on the road in Korea and I thought it was really cool. I never got that out on the air because back then I didn’t have a weekly podcast and I was less highly compelled or motivated to get this kind of stuff out on the air. This is a really cool clip from when I was in Seoul last time. I just really loved Korea, here is that clip from the streets of Seoul, Korea…
Excellent podcast Mark! Kind of funny – since I have been over-analyzing what type of equipment to start with for like a year, I wondered what it might be like to start a podcast with nothing other than a phone. The quality was not bad at all – and your content was awesome – I prefer the free-thinking talking over a canned podcast anyday, not that I’ve ever thought your shows were canned.
@KentFaver Thanks Kent. If you want to start on the cheap, I can certainly recommend Audacity (FREE) and the SnowBall USB mic (cheap). For interviews, you can use Skype and Skype recording software. With that setup (less than $100) you’ll sound better the 90% of the podcasters out there. Thanks for the feedback.
Good stuff and solid tips on managing a “day job” along with internet marketing on the side. I hadn’t really ever thought of comparing internet marketing to a hobby, but it’s a good comparison!
Also, you’re doing great keeping with your weekly podcast commitment…keep it up!
@ShaneEubanks Thanks Shane. Appreciate the feedback. How are things going over at Genuine IM? Would be cool to get you on the show sometime if you are up for it ShaneEubanks
@masonworld Well, we just had our 2nd child and there’s no motivator quite like an extra family member! haha Everything is going well, though, both at work (enterprise-level SEO and internet marketing) and on the side (content marketing). I’d love to be on the show sometime! As I listen to your podcasts, sometimes I feel like you’re the only person that understands what I go through balancing work, family, & internet marketing on the side. ha I may be an anomaly from many people though as I actually love my day-job…very blessed to be able to do what I love both at work and home!
@ShaneEubanks That would be awesome. Would you be willing to talk about SEO some? I have not had a SEO professional on the show. I think people would love that.
@masonworld Sure thing! I love SEO and could easily talk about it. I go back and forth between large enterprise and smaller websites, so I can definitely provide some insights on both…cause both are similar, but carry different risks. It may be interesting to some to hear my backstory, the motivation I had, and the success of selling a website which allowed us to fulfill a major goal…all with SEO.
