I love podcasts - it’s like having a one on one conversation with you. We will be using these audio recordings alot during the challenge and I know from meeting many of you as I have traveled that they are your favorite part of the challenge.

You can download the first podcast here (Make sure you installed iTunes before you do or you may have trouble playing the file.)

Now if you have subscribed to the Thirty Day Challenge - As I showed you yesterday - the podcast will automatically pop up in there - which is very cool!

Lot’s of good stuff in here - Enjoy

Ed

Here is part two of the video on iTunes (Make sure you watch part 1 - or you will get confused)

And as always - here is the download

Do you want to know the reason this is going to be so big?

Once you set it up - it’s automatic - the content gets delivered to the clients computer and then their portable device. I was traveling recently and was stunned to see how many people were watching things on their iPod. Think about it, people are exercising more and listening to some interesting content while doing it is sweet.

70% of new cars in America have a specific iPod connection (and never forget the US is our target market)

At the moment only geeks like me are downloading shows on to Apple TV - but once you have tried this for yourself (or like me, have had a youtube party where everyone shows there favorite videos…)

Now thats enough for today!

Speak to you tomorrow

Ed

This next video is so important because it unveils an entirely new way to market information.

iTunes

Mark my words, over the next couple of years - delivering content to iPhones and iPods (and the oft forgotten but just as ground breaking Apple TV) is going to be a very crucial marketing medium. Let me prove it to you.

We are going to deliver the thirty day content iPod/iPhone/Apple TV ready. So you can experience now, what everyone will be doing in a couple of years. Very Cool indeed.

Here is part 1

And as you will learn in the video - the cool much smaller but much sharper download version

Ed

This shows you how to get bloglines to default for you on Firefox - A MAJOR time saver.

As always - You can download the in beautiful h.264 video here

Have Fun

This is why I love the Internet (and it’s the secret to Marketing on the Internet in 2007)

Iasked someone to youtube Gary Coleman for me - This was up on the forum with-in hours. And because I mentioned Dana (BTW home schoolers! don’t go and google Dana on google images like I just did. It’s better to remember her like this…)

Look, I know we should be talking advanced internet marketing tactics and strategies here, but all my team want to know is ‘What the hell does that tag-line mean?’

Never heard of ‘Different Strokes‘ guys? Poor little black guy living with rich older white guy (No, it’s not what you think!) Gary Coleman was actually 34 when he played this part I’ve heard

Anyhoo, here’s some YouTube videos featuring the little guy so you can get in on the joke and play catchup.

Sorry Ed, don’t think Dana’s in it much

Now, here is the interesting thing - how many traffic generating sites did I use in this blog post. There is a marketing lesson in everything… You just have to take notice.

Ed

What the?

RSS - which stand for Really Simple Sydication - I think changed my life - Much like the DJ, but that’s a story for another time…

How can I possibly sound so smart given that I am a simple country boy from Beechworth in Victoria.

This video shows you how I do it. Your mission for today is to set up Bloglines - the “feedreeder” I use.

We are going to use this feature in ways you would not believe - so get it set-up, subscribe to the blogs that I show you in the video and you are off to the races.

Here it is in super sexy downloadable super sharp quicktime (In the next lesson I’ll show you how to get this straight into your iPhone/iPod/computer)

Ed

PS - A number of you were wondering why I don’t put up the links that I mention in the post straight away. The reason is simple.

I want you to watch the video - carefully. Yes, even all my guru collegues following along the challenge.

See - if i published the links - you would think - right i’ll just go get them and skip watching the video - This would be bad…

In the videos, I talk about why I use things and how I use them - and that’s where you are going to get all the value! Everyone’s known about these add-on’s and sites for ages - how they are used and why Dan, Nic and I use them - That’s the real trick.

 Many Thanks To Nick V for putting this together for all of us.
