Hey Mark, glad to see you are Podcasting again and making progress on your 2012 goals. I talked to you via a few comments here back in December, when I found your site through Pat Flynn’s podcast and you were super helpful. Now that I’ve burned through all Pat’s Podcasts, I pulled down your new ones for my commute and I listed to most of this one today. Looking forward to further details on the niche site/keyword canine experiment.

Will Do. I’m hoping to listen to the episode again tonight (while I’m not driving) so I can write down all the questions I thought of. Then I’ll shoot those over to you so you can point me to the next step.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I thought I could ask my questions around the content I heard on that episode. You could answer/expound and then I could go implement what you taught me. Then, you could do whatever follow ups you wanted, to see what kind of results I was getting.

I’m really not trying to scam private tutoring, but I thought a live case study would be a good way to do a lot of things, like create a tutorial series, create an eBook, etc.

Wow. Can you tell I’m pumped about all this?

In reply to brentgiesler. @brentgiesler Cool. Would you be open to doing it as an interview that I could share with other listeners? If you have questions, I can promise you that other people have them too. What do you think?

Wow Mark. I was driving down the road, listening to the Podcast and my head was about to explode. I came up with a gob of questions and then a potential show idea for you, based on all that “brain explosion”. How could we visit?

BTW, I’d be available late since I’m “building my business one night at a time”…

In reply to masonworld. @masonworld Yea, I wanted something other than keywordPassivekeyword.com. Thanks for the suggestion on the 301 redirect. That is something that I never thought of and is an extremely creative solution should my site ever become popular.

In reply to LazyBastardLife.

@LazyBastardLife Thanks for the nice comment. I really appreciate the advice, and I’ll take the URL thing as a compliment. LOL.

Interesting thing about your URL…

I actually love the idea of your URL. It is memorable and makes me want to click. But I can see why that could cause you some (small) trouble as your brand gets bigger. Press releases come to mind. Not sure if the Today Show would be cool with that URL either. But I like the “edgy” feel of it.

One possible workaround for you would be to register LazyDogLife.com and 301 Redirect it to your site. Then when you wanted to be 100 percent family safe, you could use that URL. Just a thought.

I love your ideas for travel — planning ahead is not my very strongest trait, but you are absolutely right. I really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!Mark

Mark, This is the first site I’ve actually been hesitant to comment because of my website URL.

Glad to see you back in the podcasting game. I first came on board when you interviewed Pat in 2010. My weekly commute totals about 9 hours and I’m more than happy to squeeze you in. Instead of worrying about recording a show weekly, just try to record two episodes when you know you’ll be out the following week (I know, easier said than done). It’ll still be timely and you won’t have to mess with recording/editing on the road (though that might help keep you sane). If something sparks while your travelling, then post an off cycle episode (MW018.5).

Keep up the momentum.
