Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  This episode actually revolves around the whole podcast movement and what is going on for content creators.  Today’s special guest is Dan Walton.  He is the creator and founder of Cast.Market, which enables podcasters and potential sponsors to explore the podcast landscape.  With it, you can track any show’s popularity across time and by geographic region.  These are important metrics for people who run podcasts. While creating this service, Dan discovered new insights on what drives listeners to shows.  So, in addition to providing the democratic data that it does, Cast.Market is launching a brand new advertising network, which breaks down the barriers of podcast advertising.  Dan believes that by connecting sponsors and advertisers in an efficient and automatic way, he can make podcasting more productive for everyone.  Welcome to the show Dan…

 Promise:

We’re going to talk about how to improve podcasting and how to improve your show, if you’re a podcaster. Also, we'll discuss how to get your message out about what you are doing, through podcasting. [bctt tweet="Whether you are selling something or you have a service, you can sponsor podcasts." username="danielhall"] If you are an author or speaker, one of the best ways to improve your speaking, and your work, and all of that is to start a podcast, if you haven’t already.  It’s an opportunity to speak and learn how to put these sorts of things together.  And, I think it’s an awesome thing to do.  It’s easy, and it’s a great way to connect with an audience.

Cast.Market tracks every single podcast and its popularity in every country.  So, you can go on there and search for different shows to see which shows are popular and which aren’t.  For instance, if you are planning on starting a podcast about speaking, and you are trying to decide what your topic should be, you can go and search around to see what other shows are talking about.  You can also see how they are doing in terms of their popularity.  So it’s a good research tool for people who are thinking about creating a podcast.

Promise: To Teach Authors and Product Creators Why They Are In the Marketing Business

I’m going to teach authors and product creators exactly why focusing on your product is the wrong thing to do. I’m going to teach them why they are in the marketing business, not the product business.  And, I’m going to get people to care about their idea so that their product can actually survive, instead of being dead on arrival, like most products and books are with 99.9% of people who don’t know how to market.  I will be focusing on areas like building a community around yourself, how to use social media channels, how to create buzz before you grow.  By the way, I’m doing this with zero paid media.

With these strategies in place, you can even go into larger, more competitive markets, and get more clicks for pennies on the dollar, rather than spending dollars at a time on clicks, like your competitors will be doing within these markets.  Greg is an excellent marketer, and an all-around great guy who carries a reputation of having a lot of integrity, which is another reason why it’s an honor to have him as a guest today.  Greg, welcome to the show…

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  If you are an author, especially an eBook author or a Kindle book author, you should be excited because today’s special guest is Derek Doepker.  He has a strategy to share about how you can sell more of your books, for full price, on auto-pilot.  Derek is a #1 bestselling author himself, of several books, including one titled Why Authors Fail.  He also leads hands-on training workshops, courses, and retreats.  Basically, they are there to teach authors how to turn their passion for writing into a sustainable business.  You can find out more about Derek by visiting EbookBestsellerSecrets.com.  Welcome to the show, Derek…

Promise: How to Sell More Books without Constant Marketing and Promotion

The promise today is: [bctt tweet="I’m going to show you how you can sell more books on auto-pilot without constant marketing and promotion" via="no"] First of all, obviously, if you have books in your business, and you want to generate more royalties, I’ve seen a significant increase in royalties by the scope of several thousand dollars in additional royalties with what I’m going to share with you today.  Now, even beginner authors have doubled, tripled, quadrupled their royalty income every single month by putting into practice what we’re going to be talking about.  So, in terms of bottom line results, we’re talking not just small increases, but significant increases in royalties, exposure, and of course, all of the other things that does for your brand.

One of the best parts is that once you get this set up and going, and in some cases it just takes a few hours to put this system in place, it becomes almost hands free.  Like, you let the system do its thing.  I go on vacation, I travel, or whatever, and it’s running in the background.  So we’re talking about significant increases in sales, without a huge time commitment, and that frees you up to do more things that you love.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Today’s special guest is the infamous indie author and publisher Michael J. Knowles.  He is a managing editor and cultural correspondent at The Daily Wire and a recent Yale graduate.  In addition to that, he’s also a fine actor, but right now, he’s best noted as the author of Reasons to Vote for Democrats:  A Comprehensive Guide.  This book became a bestseller on Amazon, and not just a bestseller in one certain category, but the bestseller over all the books on Amazon.  If you didn’t know, this is actually a gag book, filled with almost no content until you reach an extensive bibliography at the end.

Coming Up With the Idea for This Book

[bctt tweet="I wish there was some elaborate story about how I was going to market this thing & that I knew it was going to #1" via="no"] That really, wasn’t it.  I thought it would be a funny gag.  I was just sitting on the couch with my fiancé, and I said, “You know, there really ought to be…”  And, by the way, this is an old gag.  This gag has been around since at least 1880, which is when the Republican ticket of Chester Arthur and James Garfield published a blank book of their political opponent’s statesmanship and political achievements.  Again, that was also republicans trolling democrats with this same gag.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Today we have a presentation that may, very well change your life.  James Nowlin is the special guests for this episode, and he is “the real deal,” in every respect.  He was a millionaire businessman long before he ever wrote his book, The Purposeful Millionaire, and even before he got paid to do any Keynote speeches.  At the age of 26 he was a young, first generation millennial success story.  He even walked away from a 6-figure law practice as a corporate attorney to start his own business. At the time, little did he know that the launch of his executive consulting firm, called Excel Global Partners, would coincide with one of the worst economic downturns in generations, which was The Great Recession.  Throughout the formative years of his business, James became tougher, wiser, and stronger, growing the company to become a great success.  That’s in spite of those daunting odds.  James shares the story of overcoming these odds in his book.  In this podcast, he’ll be chatting about how to go about getting your head on straight.  Please welcome James to the show…

Promise: Change Your Mindset

Thanks for having me on the show, first and foremost.  You should pay attention to this broadcast because you can be more, achieve more, and live more than you have ever imagined if you can get this one thing right in your life, and that’s your mindset.  That’s the 2-pound nugget on top of your head that really drives all of the success in your life.  For me, I had to change my mindset, in order to achieve at higher levels. [bctt tweet="My #1 hack is to get the heck out of bed in the morning." username="danielhall"] Having gone through a near-death accident at the age of 31… I had achieved really high levels of success.  I had the flashy car, I had the flashy friends, and I was traveling around the world, doing what I wanted to do, making as much money as I wanted to.  But, I was not achieving at my full potential.  That’s what I wanted to talk about today.  It’s all about getting that mindset in the right place, with the right disciplines and the right habits, on a daily basis, in order to achieve one’s maximum possible life.

So, a lot of people think of a brand as the visual representation, or how a brand actually articulates itself in the marketplace, such as how it shows up, like what color it is, what kind of logo it uses, and what kind of personality it uses.  A brand is so much more than that, and before we go on and I explain how to do it, you have to buy into the idea that: [bctt tweet="A brand is a strategic relationship that you have with your customers. " username="danielhall"] This is true whether you are a small business owner or you work for one of those big corporations, like those mentioned before.  Even if you are an individual publisher, content creator, or a writer, and also if you are just trying to market yourself to find a job, this is true for you as well.  You are a brand, whether you like it or not.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  This episode is meant to be a very special treat for you.  It’s something a bit different, but worth considering.  Today’s special guest is Matt Miller, who is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.  He was an air force pilot for nine years.  Post military, Matt worked in both medical and advertising fields, as a top performer.  His long-term desire was to start a business, probably a lot like you, and to build a lifestyle based on freedom and choice. During a conversation with a good friend, that actually led him into a 10-year business quest that has brought Matt’s franchising company to the cutting edge of both vending and school fundraising industries.  Starting with just a teeny-tiny seed of $100, he has built a “school spirit” vending machine company into a multi-million dollar vending business.

Promise: How to Build a Profitable Secondary Income Stream by Using Vending Machines

Thanks, first off, for having me on.  I really appreciate being here.  The big promise is: [bctt tweet="I want to show you how you can build a very profitable secondary income stream using vending machines as the vehicle" via="no"] Pat Flynn is a good friend of mine, and this started with a blog a few years ago which talked about creating information products online.  My challenge was, I have a very, very simple mindset, and the whole internet thing still just blows my mind, when I try to think about it.

 I needed to do something that would allow me to make money immediately, not on down the road.  So, I had a good buddy at church who mentioned gum ball machines, and I got to thinking about it, and I was like, “You know what?  It’s going to take a lot of gum balls for me to get where I want to go financially,” but those gum balls have over a 1,000% markup, so the margins are huge, and the machines do all the selling while you’re not there.  So, I started, literally, with a $36 used gum ball machine from a guy that I found on Ebay, across Houston, where we lived at the time.  That’s where and how I started this business.

I wrote a short eBook several years ago, called Live Your Dreams: The Top 10 Reasons Why You Need to Own a Vending Business.  It just shares a little bit of insight that most professionals have never even thought of in relation to vending.  We’ve set up a landing page specifically for you.  You can go to SSVBusiness.com/fastresults and download that for free.  At a minimum, you’ll learn a little more about just general vending.  If you want to talk about the franchise, we can do that too.  I hope, if nothing else, this gets you thinking about some other avenues that have been in front of all of us, all of our lives, but many of us, for whatever reason, have never considered.  This has changed my life and that of many of the other people that I work with today.

Well, listen, if you have something to contribute to the world, as we all know, books are transformative.  I started early, at 18, with no money, no education, and no experience, of course.  It was just me and my buddy, Jack.  When you start like that, you only have a couple of ways of learning.  That’s learning by doing, learning by seeking out mentors, and coaches, and friends that can help along the way, and then there’s learning by reading.

Reading was so hard for me, and still is, frankly.  There were a handful of books that I read between the ages of 18 and 25, or 26, and had those authors not written those books, you and I wouldn’t be having this conversation.  A few years back, some friends and family started to tell me and my co-authors, “Hey, you guys should really write some of this stuff down.”  We got convinced that we had something to contribute, so we decided to do the book, and that’s really how it all happened.

Promise: Working Successfully with a Remote Team

Thanks for having me on.  I’m excited to chat about this.  I just wanted to talk about working with a remote team, so hopefully, you can get some of the best talent out there and be the most successful.

The reason why we do it is to find the best talent out there.  Above all, I’m trying to find, for us, the best personalities and the right people, who actually have the drive to do what they are looking for, and to make everyone who is working with me, and our company, happy too. Remote working helps to solve all of that. [bctt tweet="The best people in the world aren’t within 25 miles of you. The best people are spread out everywhere." via="no"] The best people have the luxury to define where they are going to be working and what they are going to be doing.  And, we find more and more that they are using that power to go to companies that give them that flexibility, and honor them as a person, and don’t require them to do an hour commute each way.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  This is an extra special episode because today’s special guest is world famous researcher, New York Times bestselling author, and university professor Dr. Jonah Berger.  You’re about to learn how to put campaigns together, which have the propensity to be contagious and even go viral.

Dr. Berger is a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of the bestselling book, Contagious: Why Things Catch On.  Berger has spent over 15 years studying how social influence works, and how it drives products and ideas.  In addition to writing his book, he has published dozens of articles in top-tier academic journals and has consulted a variety of Fortune 500 companies.  He has also been published in popular outlets like the New York Times and Harvard Business Review.

“Contagious”

We’ve all seen products and ideas catch on, services and the like, whether it’s a product in the grocery store (Greek yogurt became popular a few years ago), whether it’s an app like Uber or Snapchat, or whether it is a service, like B2B marketing, for example.  We’ve all seen examples of things which came out of nowhere and became extremely popular, and the question is “Why?”  What was it about these things that made them popular? It turns out that it’s not just about advertising or having a big advertising budget, or even, necessarily, having the best product or service out there.  It’s really about the power of word-of-mouth.  [bctt tweet="It turns out that word-of-mouth is ten times as effective as traditional advertising." username="danielhall"]

• How contagious marketing works
• Getting people to talk about your product
• STEPPS - Social Currency, Triggers, Emotion, Public, Practical Value, Stories
• How to apply "STEPPS" to what you are promoting
• When it comes to writing a book or creating content in some way, shape, or form, is how can you make your audience feel like an insider?

Promise: Leverage Your Knowledge through Publishing, Speaking and Training

Well, it’s going to be fun for a lot of reasons, but the main reason that you should stick around is that if you have any amount of knowledge in that head, I’m going to be sharing with you how to really leverage that through the power of publishing, speaking, and training.  And don’t worry, if you’ve not done any of those three things, or if you’ve done all of those three things, I’m going to be sharing some insights to help you explode those areas so that you can spend more time with your family, if you want to, or travel, or give to the things that matter to you.  That’s exactly what I have been able to do, literally through the power of those three things.

Connecting with Fran

I have a really nice gift for folks, and you can access it at http://RealFastResults.com/Fran.  I did a live training called “The $100,000 You Left on the Table this Year”.  It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’ve been, I guarantee you’ve left at least $100,000 on the table this year.  That training is about having multiple streams of income, but also organized streams of income, meaning that there’s a synergy between your publishing, your speaking, and your training. So, it’s a follow-up to this, but I go into greater detail about how I get publishing deals, why people ask me to come and speak, and most importantly, you’ll hear a business model that’s very consistent, which is not to spend money until you have to.  Be profitable from the beginning, and really focus on the things that you are passionate about, have experience in, or are an expert in.  You should add up the money throughout the course of the training.  It’s like an hour and a half long, or somethi ng like that.  You’ll hear the money that you’re leaving on the table.  There are sounds of change and big bundles of money falling as you go through.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Gina Henry is today’s special guest.  She is an expert when it comes to being able to travel and make money at the same time.  In fact, when this episode was recorded, she was in Austin, Texas, traveling and visiting friends, but at the same time, she taught a group about how to travel and make money.  So, Gina had actually been traveling and making money herself.

Promise: How to Travel for Free

Well, I think the importance of travel… I know in my life, and [that of] many of our listeners and viewers, it’s stimulating.  You’re learning, you’re seeing things differently, you’re meeting new people, you’re exposed to new cultures, even if you are here in the U.S. traveling.  There’s a stimulation, I think, and I get so much out of it.  It helps me with my writing, my speaking, my business ideas, and my brainstorming.  It gets you out of a rut.

[bctt tweet="When we get too much routine in life and get sidetracked, we just need to get our focus back. For me, travel is what does it." via="no"] You can not only use your travel for inspiration, but also, at the same time, maybe work on the road.  That can make part of your trip a business trip, and a possible tax reduction (part of it). But, the whole idea is that you’re out there, getting inspiration, and you’re coming up with new ideas.  Maybe you’ll have time to focus on those ideas, and maybe without some of the distractions that you may have at home.

Promise: How to Take Advantage on Popular Trends

Thank you so much for having me, and I want to say a big “Hello” to everyone out there.  The reason why we are here today is that I’m really excited to share how you can take advantage of some very popular trends and also emerging technology.  This emerging technology is going to allow you to make money and grow your business in ways that you were never able to do before.  By getting into the forefront of this trend, where people are spending millions, billions, and even almost trillions of dollars within these industries, you are going to be able to grow your business. [bctt tweet="What I’m talking about is card deck publishing." username="danielhall"] What’s really exciting about card deck publishing is that it is at the crossroads of two trends.  First of all, there’s eCommerce.  I’ve been doing some research recently on eCommerce, and eCommerce is an “over-a-trillion dollar business” now.  It’s going to continue to grow even more as we get into 2018-2010.  That has crossroads with self-publishing, and self-publishing is a multi-million dollar business, and it’s getting close to becoming a billion dollar business.  Card deck publishing is really a hybrid, or a marriage, between the two of these.

Promise: How to Turn Your Media Interviews into a Lead Generating Tool

My big promise is that, whatever podcast you’ve been on, blog post, media interview, no matter what type of media outlet… I’m going to teach you how to turn every single one of those into a lead generating, sales generating tool in your business that’s fully automated, that you never have to touch once you hit play. Look at everyday people.  If you look at people that have been on the Oprah show, or any kind of international TV, Good Morning America, they get their chance in the spotlight, and then they’re gone.  They disappear.  Then, their businesses fail.  They don’t leverage it.

They get that one big hit, and they become that “one hit wonder”.  They’ve got that one hit that they will always remember, and maybe their audience will always remember, but their new audience won’t.  They just disappear off the face of the earth.  That’s what we don’t want to happen, but it happens all too often.  We don’t want that as entrepreneurs.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results Podcast. I am happy you are here. I want to jump into a question I get all of the time from authors and that is: How do you title your book for maximum readership? Just like the cover of your book, the title of your book is equally important.

Promise: 4 Areas for Maximum Readership

I am going to discuss four primary areas of consideration when titling your book for maximum readership. I have seen so many authors just come up with what they think is a good title without considering the nomenclature used by the marketplace to describe what they are writing about.

Most people know that most people don’t qualify to get a Wikipedia page.  So, when someone is doing a search for you, your organization, your product, your service, your book, they are going to see it.  Usually, it’s one of the top items in search results. People see that you have a Wikipedia page, and it’s like, “Oh!”  It just adds a real layer of credibility.  I’m sure each of the members of this audience have experienced this when they were looking for someone or something and find that there’s a Wikipedia page.  It causes a person’s perception of something to go up another notch.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results!  Today’s special guest is writer, author, and book marketer extraordinaire, Nina Amir.  She is known as the “Inspiration to Creation Coach”, and she is also a book, blog, and author coach as well as the creator of the proprietary author training curriculum for writers and other coaches.  Nina also founded the National Non-Fiction Writing month and Non-Fiction Writers University.  Additionally, she is one of only 300 elite certified, high-performance coaches working around the world, and she is the only one specifically working with writers.  Please welcome Nina to the show…

Promise: How to Find Your Passion and Be Inspired

First, thank you for having me on the show.  It’s an honor.  The reason you should listen today is because people need to get inspired.  If you want to create anything, you need to be inspired, and again, I am known as the “Inspiration to Creation Coach”.  I am passionate about helping people create what they want in their life, whether that’s a book, or a blog, or a business, or a new relationship, or more productivity.  It doesn’t really matter to me what they want to create, but I think that we all have this desire to create something. I think it’s important to be inspired because the way that you achieve what I call, “inspired results,” is to take inspired action.  You have to have that purpose and passion, combined, to actually get inspired to take some action.  If you don’t take action, you won’t get the results.

What I do is I try to work with people to find their passion, whatever it is that they are passionate about.  If we have to discover that, then we will.  We combine that with our purpose.  I think that everyone has a purpose.  The overriding purpose, I think, is really to be authentic and connected to whatever you think. Let that flow through so that we are just out best selves.  I think that’s, sort of, the overriding purpose that we have in our lifetime.

You can find me at NinaAmir.com, and I’m everywhere in social media, just by Nina Amir.  So it’s pretty easy to find me.  I work one-on-one with people going through the certified high-performance coaching curriculum to help them to level up.  You know, we talk about peak performance, which is, you get into that moment of flow and then it’s gone.  It’s like climbing to the summit of a mountain, and then sliding all of the way back down and having to climb back up. High performance is like climbing to the summit, and seeing the next one, and climbing up to that.  It’s about leveling up all of the time, in every area of our life.  As we go through the pillars, it affects us in so many ways.  So, whether you are writing or creating something else, it doesn’t really matter, high performance is going to help. I do work with people one-on-one, but I also have a high-performance writer group coaching program.  That’s where I bring in 10 or 15 people at a time, and we go through the same curriculum. It’s all about these pillars that we talked about.  The five pillars of high performance.  We go through those, and it’s amazing, the results that people get from it.  I put that in place so that it would be a little more affordable for people to work with me.  You can check this out at RealFastResults.com/hpw.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Nick Zelinger is today’s special guest.  He is a publishing and graphic design extraordinaire who has put together many covers for bestselling books and covers that have won awards.  He’s won awards for his designs as well.  It’s important, as an author, to know what to watch out for when it comes to having a cover designed, and that’s what Nick is here to help you understand.  Welcome to the show Nick…

Promise: How to Create a Book Cover that Sells

Thanks for having me.  First of all, if you are thinking of publishing a book, or if you have already published a book and you aren’t getting good sales or have gotten some bad reviews, you may want to consider hiring a professional book designer.  The tendency today in independent publishing, self-publishing, is to do it yourself, and that’s, for lack of a better term, a crap-shoot.  You are going to be in the wild wild west of not knowing what you want to do, not meeting the printer’s specifications, and just not having a very professional design.

I think that if you’re serious about publishing your book… This is a business.  Independent publishing, or self-publishing, is a business.  You’ve got to treat it that way.  To do that, you’ve got to hire professionals.  I would say, first and foremost, for authors who design their own books, or want to, take a hard look at your skills, and be honest, and step back a little bit because you really do need to be very objective about your goals.  It’s a profession, and you get what you pay for in this industry, so you really do need to hire a professional. Do people really judge a book by its cover? Absolutely, and in fact, it’s the gateway to your book. [bctt tweet="Research shows that we have less than 10 seconds before a potential buyer makes a decision on a book cover" via="no"]It’s a subjective thing, but it’s something that makes them want to go to a bookshelf, pick it up, and look at the back, or click on the thumbnail at Amazon to see what the “Look Inside” feature is.  So you’ve got a very, very short timespan to really capture someone’s attention, no matter what the genre.

Promise: Top Seven Ways for Generating Sales on Your Kindle Books

First of all, I’m excited to be here.  I’ve published nearly a thousand books as a publishing company.  So, what we are going to give you are our top seven ways for generating sales, especially if you have an eBook/Kindle book that’s already out there and it’s working, or even if you’re working on your first.  These are the seven things that we do in order to build sales that last for the long term. Here’s the thing.  I actually got my start with Amazon’s Advantage Program, which was the program that they had way before Kindle Direct Publishing came in place.  It’s actually still around to this day, if you go to Amazon.com/Advantage.  That program was specifically for authors of physical books, where Amazon would order 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 copies of your book at a time.  You would ship them out to Amazon, and they would then fulfill your orders and ship the books out as your orders came in.

Shortly after that, I got invited to be part of Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform, which was, I want to say, seven years ago now.  Almost seven years ago, so I was one of the first pioneers, and like I said, we’ve sold hundreds of thousands of different books.  We have almost 1,000 books that we’ve published under our publishing company, and we do extremely well, every single month, just publishing books on Amazon. [bctt tweet="If your book sales are lagging, or if they are not what you want them to be, I can hep! " via="no"] I’ve got some strategies to help you turbo-charge that process. We’ve tested, literally, hundreds of different things over the years, and I can definitely provide you with the advice you need.

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Reviewing today’s content is going to be really great for you and the development of your career, regardless of what niche you are in.  Whether you are an author, a speaker, or in information product development, etc., the information found herein will work for you. This material was originally presented by Chris Cumby.  He has been coaching and advising clients on business strategies and personal development for over 14 years.  Cumby got his start as a sales and marketing consultant, but he took on a much broader scope of business as he began to identify what disconnected businesses from their clients.  He now helps people to make these connections happen, and he does this by helping businesses grow through an extension of personal growth, themselves. Chris’ clients have achieved greater success in their professional lives since he’s learned to advise them this way.  With this realization, Chris has had a better opportunity to branch out and offer consultancy services that benefit each person individually, not simply the organization.  As a matter of fact, in 2003, Chris founded Integrity Marketing Inc., which is a direct sales consulting platform that is focused on creating new possibilities and new revenue streams for his American and Canadian clients.  Integrity Marketing has consistently helped its clients achieve broader market shares, increased revenues, and greater profits.

Chris has also written a fantastic book, which is The Success Playbook, and he’s been able to develop a brand around that.  The subject matter of this book/brand also centers upon personal enrichment.  This has allowed Chris’ reach to expand internationally, and the book itself has helped many people broaden their horizons and better develop themselves, and in turn, become more successful.  When it comes down to it, the core of Chris’ expertise lies in working closely with people, probably just like you, and helping people design, implement, and execute their personal development and sales strategies in combination.  Please welcome Chris to the program…
