This is a great product! It’s an Audio Book comprised of three CDs the author has written and recorded himself. And he tells you how he made it during the course of his messages. I listened to the CDs twice over the past week while taking the train to work in northern New Jersey. The first time I just listened AND ENJOYED. The second time I took a few notes so I’d be able to write this review. The Table of Contents for the CDs is as follows:
DISK 1:
1. Introduction
2. Planning
3. Blog Design
4. Overall Tips
DISK 2:
5. Writing
6. Publicizing
7. Search Engine Optimization
8. Additional Traffic Tips
DISK 3:
9. Supporting Your Business
10. Explicitly Profiting
11. Miscellaneous Tips
The material included in this audio product is about blogging and how to incorporate blogging into your consulting practice so you make more money. The author is a former IT professional who has crossed over to being a business consultant and trainer. He likes to write and do speaking engagements to promote his consulting practice and earn a living. Since he has an IT background, he has developed a reputation for advising clients how to incorporate blogging into their marketing and public relations efforts. He practices what he preaches. And what these three CDs include is the author’s story about how he uses blogging to be a more successful consultant and trainer. He also explains what is required to be a blogger like him.
Much of the advice provided in these CDs is just as applicable to business Web sites as it is to business blogs. What I liked the most about this CD set is how the author explained how he goes about planning and designing blogs. And how he goes about filling his blogs with content week in and week out. He also explains how his blogs have provided him with more credibility in the eyes of his clients and prospects. And he explains how his blogs help him gain a larger presence online and with the search engines.
Included with the three CDs is a short little tips booklet (ISBN: 097880600X) that can be purchased separately at Amazon for $7 or so. It includes a Table of Contents listing for the CD set and has some of the verbage from the CDs inlcuded in it. But I wasn’t particularly impressed with the tips booklet. In my humble opinion it needed to be better outlined and more bullet points needed to be included. But it comes free with the CD set which in my opinion is a winner.
If you were my client and you are a consultant, trainer and/or coach wanting to turbo charge your rainmaking capacity, then I would recommend you get a copy of Susan Friedmann’s Riches in Niches (ISBN: 1564149307) along with Ted Demopoulos’ Secrets of Successful Blogging audio book (the product now being reviewed). Make sure to read my review for Friedmann’s book at Amazon. These two products will set your head a spinnin with ideas as to how to be THE expert in your field. 5 stars!
