Friday Podcast: Who Is Scott Jangro? May 9, 2008
Posted by Andrew Wee in : podcasts , add a comment
Aside from being one of the most respected figures in the affiliate marketing industry, Scott Jangro is a guy who’s making waves with a number of his projects over at MechMedia.
I got an insight into how he’s structured one of his web properties, CostumZee, said by top affiliate Jeremy Palmer to be the largest affiliate for costumes online.
But more importantly, the biggest takeaway is understanding how Scott thinks and how he conceptualizes and executes a project. I like his system because I have a similar approach to running my internet business too - it’s everything to do with being around a year, and even 10 years from now.

Friday Podcast: Niche Site Development With Kim Rowley May 2, 2008
Posted by Andrew Wee in : podcasts , 1 comment so far
One of the affiliate marketers I’d been following since I first started out in the industry was and continues to be Kim Rowley who owns Key Internet Marketing and has a network of shopping-themed niche sites.
Kim has come up with a number of great concepts for niche sites, and more than just the idea alone, she’s certainly one to take immediate action.
Although we’d talked a little before this past Affiliate Summit West and chatted briefly at the Summit, we’d been sharing some ideas in recent weeks and I was glad that she was able to take some time out to come on the podcast.
Besides hearing about her start in internet marketing, we also talked about strategies in setting up coupon/shopping/comparison type shopping sites and growing your online business.
As with previous Friday Podcasts, we covered a lot of ground in this episode and you can check out the podcast below:

Friday Podcast: Outsourcing Strategies With Agents Of Value’s Danny Sullivan April 25, 2008
Posted by Andrew Wee in : podcasts , 6 comments
Leverage is the biggest kept secret for any successful internet marketers out there, and besides automating your business via autoresponders, databases and 1-to-many marketing strategies, you can also take a look at the human capital element (more commonly known as outsourcing or it’s industry name BPO (business processing outsourcing).
I scored a coup by inviting Danny Sullivan, founder of Agents of Value, on the Friday Podcast to discuss some of the strategies, as well as shortcuts on how you can use outsourcing to grow your business and expand sales and profits.
[Note: AoV’s Danny Sullivan is not to be confused with SEO’s Danny Sullivan]
In the works are some training and development resources if you’re new to the outsourcing game, or if you’d like to bring the results from your outsourcing efforts to the next level.
You can get in touch with Agents of Value (AoV) via:
- Skype: eversuniloilo
- Yahoo! Messenger ID: agentsofvalue
- Email at the contact us page
I’ve used them since last year and besides helping to grow my sales, it’s freed up quite a bit of time too.

Are You Ready For Some Aural Gratification? April 21, 2008
Posted by Andrew Wee in : podcasts , add a commentThis past weekend was a busy one, as I’ve been shifting one of my home offices around. My 10mbps DSL connection finally works over ethernet (I was struggling with poor signals over a 802.11g network previously). Every LAN point in my home should provide connectivity. So now I have wireless and wired Internet and LAN access from just about every bedroom, as well as the living room, dining room, kitchen and the toilets if the need arises…
While I was huffing and puffing on Sunday manhandling my heavy desk and moving the computer, monitors and bunches of cables around, I was listening to the huge backlog of MP3s I had downloaded over the past couple of weeks.
I probably listened to about 10 hours of audio over the weekend and was more active than usual in my twitter stream too.
I think it’s important to use your “downtime” well, especially if you’re working on your taxes, cleaning the desk, clearing your inbox (snail mail and email), or sorting out your baseball card collection (or samurai katana collection if that’s up your alley).
Here’s my list of favorite podcasts at the moment:
#1: Geekcast (the podcast, not the network…) - A collaboration between Shawn Collins, Sam Harrelson, Lisa Picarille and Jim Kukral, I’d classify it as a industry banter session. I can identify with Lisa’s sentiment that it seems unstructured at times, but I think it’s part of the fun, especially as the show hosts go off on each other.
There was some drama recently as Shawn and Sam had a spat with Jim, but all seems well now, and we should have the 4 musketeers back in the seat. The show is recorded every Tues and Sam usually has the podcast up within 24 hours.
Be sure to check out the “Sorry, Jangro” drinking game that accompanies the podcast.
#2: Affiliate Summit Sessions Podcast: If you missed the recent Affiliate Summit West (more…)

Friday Podcast: Social Media Explained With Sam Harrelson April 11, 2008
Posted by Andrew Wee in : podcasts , add a comment
This week I got the recently nominated “Minister for Social Media” (yes, he drinks beer and curses…sorry, Jangro) Sam Harrelson on skype, and we chatted about the social media scene.
It’s the “thin client” computing discussion which Sam was refering to at the tailend of Geekcast Episode 13. (you knowyou’ve been listening to a lot of Geekcasts, when you’re typing “http://geekcast.fm/archives/category/geekcast/” into the browser address bar - bookmarks are overrated anyway…)
Besides having Sam do a rundown on his myriad of blogs/websites, we also talked about sci-fi, his new startup Big Idea Agency (the site design seems to change every couple of days, and viewing the page source sometimes shows some weird/arcane trivia).
Yes, there’s lots of social goodness ahead (together with a definition of “cloud computing”).
