Today we are joined by Robert Glazer, founder of Acceleration Partners. We wanted to get Robert on to talk about affiliate and performance marketing. Some listeners will have affiliate programs in place, many won’t yet, and some of you will be aware of the whole influencer marketing trend, so Robert is here to explain how businesses can tap into these sources of customers and build out an effective performance marketing strategy,  So whether you’re looking to get your own affiliate or performance marketing program established or you want to work with influencers without having to blindly pay out with no hope of a return, this episode should be super useful. It does get pretty in-depth in places and is one of the more advanced shows we’ve done, so get your teeth stuck in and enjoy! For show notes go to https://exposureninja.com/episode39

We’ve brought in an accountant. Before you switch off, he’s not one of those! For one he’s a client of ours for the last couple of years, which makes him immediately awesome. But aside from that, as you’ll hear, Russell Smith is very much the owner of the accountancy business rather than the boring account. He also has a fierce appetite for digital marketing. In this episode, we discuss the numbers that he runs his business by (accountants are always right here… as I’ve learned the hard way). We talk about the benefits of SEO vs PPC and we discuss how Russell shamelessly copied our bestselling book strategy and used it to grow his business. Good for him. Great fun, great guy and we hope you enjoy the show. For show notes, go to https://exposureninja.com/podcast38

In this episode, Tim is joined by Jason Hartman. You might not know Jason if you’re in the UK, but Jason has built his name over in the States in real estate, both through his own real estate portfolio and his training company. He’s also a prolific podcaster, and when we say prolific: his company publishes dozens of podcasts and his main one has over 800 episodes, which is pretty freakin’ serious. What’s fascinating about Jason is how he’s built an empire around his personal brand, how he came up with a personal branding message which resonated so well with his audience, and the marketing tool kit he’s used to work in so many areas. We also get an insight into his podcasting strategy and why he has so many! Jason is a truly fascinating guy with a great story, so enjoy the show.

Thought Fiverr was just for spammy backlinks and rubbish templated logos? Then you need this episode, where Tim interviews Kendell Rizzo, a copywriting expert who shares how she has built her business using Fiverr as a lead generation tool. The process that she went through of niching and then productising her service is extremely instructive, as it demonstrates how to stand out in a crowded market, pick up highly qualified leads, and never have to do a free proposal or compete on price.  If you’re struggling to compete in a crowded and competitive market with a lot of ‘me too’ businesses, Kendell’s story will inspire you to find your competitive difference, and her business is proof that we might all have overlooked Fiverr as a source of new business… For show notes, head to https://exposureninja.com/episode35
