I’ve been a big fan of PodcastAM for a while, would love to chat sometime =)

Not for me but very best wishes for success.

1) I’m using my iPad with a playlist called “Podcasts” to store podcast media, will that suffice or do you recommend and mac-compatible software to bring in audio clips like I saw you mention “Podcastpro” or something like that in episode 37 or so.

2) What are your thoughts on using “Advanced Podcasts” that allow users to click forward through your episode to the different sections? And about adding “artwork” to a podcast. I’ve been doing this via post production, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it or not.

I will also use some of the money I am not spending on the mastermind group to sponsor an episode or 3 of The Break with Fr. Roderick. I think that would be a good way to promote my podcast once I am more established.

So glad you took the Charter member offer my friend!

Here’s the deal. I started podcasting in December of 2005. It was until January 2008 that I left my career to pursue podcasting full-time. I’ll just be COMPLETELY HONEST and tell you that, even though this was my full-time career, I was not in a place where I could have ever paid to join an organization like this until October of 2010.

So I totally undertand.

I will give you one piece of advice that I wish I would have had in 2008, when I first launched my business. Spend just under $15 and read this book…. http://gspn.tv/moneymind

A single hour with me, by phone, is $300/hr. I’ll be on a a 90 minute call with each member twice a month. There there are the video seminars that will be provided to each member on a monthly basis. And there will be an unbelievable amount of resource recommendations that will keep each and every member up to date with the latest in technology to help them build their brand/business.

All of that…. And the “TRUE VALUE” of membership is actually “The Mastermind Principle” itself.

My great friend and mentor, Dan Miller, suggested that I should charge $1,000 per month per person and simply limit my investment of time and energy into the ten people who would be willing to invest that much into their own personal and professional growth.

I very much value Dan’s advice and I have plans for a special “inner circle” at some point down the road that will be just that.

However, “The Podcast Mastermind” is an organization for which I have a vision of what I hope to accomplish with it.

I knew going into this that $97 was going to be too high for many. I also knew, going into this, that about 15 of the first 20 people that signed up would have paid $500 a month to be a member.

When it comes to pricing something like this, you need to seek the advice of several folks and ultimately end up going with your gut.

I didn’t write this response to be “defensive” at all. I just know many other folks will come by and read your note about $97 being too high and I simply wanted to have this response on the site as well to help explain the pricing.

Many blessings to you in 2012 and beyond.

My Could App PDF linking is smart, WP will not detect the URL because it doesn’t directly link to the PDF, thus avoiding the problem.

I did notice and I noticed you’ve been using PowerPress for your main site as well. Awesome! I hope you’ve discovered all the nifty features in the PowerPress Tools (like the find & replace media URLs tool) area as well as Category/Channels features. Next update will allow you tie Channels to Custom Post Types in WP 3.2+.

A GoToWebinar about PowerPress with you sounds awesome. Directly Email me the details cio [at] rawvoice dot com thanks!

We has planned on ending BLW and starting a “geek” show. However, we both realized that we has merely our own interest of talking regularly in mind and no real mission for the podcast to exist outside of that.

Then, we realized that we both were INCREDIBLY BUSY and that reducing our workload by ending a weekly show from our schedule would help us to do what we had been talking about… Living a more balanced and healthy lifestyle.

I was sad to end that to. However, I don’t think the podcasting world is done with Fr Roderick & Cliff Ravenscraft together in a single podcast forever. Though, another project may be quite a ways down the road in our journey.

I hope you’ll be around for much of the journey.

I’m considering applying for the mastermind.

English is not my mother tongue but I do speak English quite fluently and understand well as well.

Is it an issue or can I apply ?

Thanks

I see membership in the podcast mastermind as a positive investment in my future, and an opportunity for me to share my knowledge and efforts to help others. There is no doubt in my mind that my podcasting and new media endeavors will be taken to a whole new level.

This is going to be AMAZING!

I’m looking forward to engaging with the rest of you that join me on the mastermind journey.

Folks may have been sad to see Social Media Serenity go. However, these 10 to 15 minute segments are going to pack more power in them than an entire episode of those old episodes of Social Media Serenity.

This scenario should produce a VERY CLEAR SIGNAL. If you are sending audio from the mixer to the computer, IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW, then I would say that there is a 99% change the static is due to the computer.

I recently linked to a PDF in episode 246 at http://PodcastAnswerMan.com/mastermind. However, I uploaded it to My Cloud App and linked to it there. Like this: http://share.gspn.tv/Dgu0

BTW, Have you noticed that I’ve had every client that I work with and every person who purchases my tutorials at http://PodcastAnswerMan.com/products using PowerPress ever since we had that GoToMeeting session a few years back?

Wondering if you would like to be a guest expert for one of my Podcast Mastermind Success Seminars. If you would be interested, it would be set up via GoToWebinar and I would record the session as you go through and explain anything and everything you want about PowerPress. Just let me know my friend.

I’m currently in 2, one with Cliff actually which has been incredibly rewarding, but the very first one I was I was a part of was an in-person one here in San Diego and it totally changed my life. I was encouraged by people in the group to write my first eBook and they kept me motivated and held me accountable along the way. This eBook eventually turned into a six-figure business and like I said, it was life changing and would not have happened if it wasn’t for that group.

I’m a huge fan of formal mastermind groups and if I’m not in one, I feel like something is missing because I know just how important it is for my business to be involved in one. We should never stop learning – and the best way to learn and grow is through the personal nature of mastermind groups with people who are just as motivated as I am, who can pick me up and guide me when I need it (and even when I don’t).

Cliff, I’m so excited for you and the opportunity you’re offering your community here. I’m excited to hear the success stories down the road.

Best of luck to you all!
