Episode 336: Making Money from Affiliate Marketing, Video Shows and Podcasting with Matt Giovanisci (FS336)

Ever wonder about starting a video show? Did you decide not to due to the many obstacles, including a lack of time and resources?

Have you wanted to get on podcasting bandwagon but feel unsure of how to juggle your tasks?

Were you concerned that neither of these things would be the most productive use of your time?

In this episode, we discover the wonder of video shows and podcasting and talk about being involved in several ventures while still focusing on what you are good at. We also get into how affiliate marketing can significantly boost your following and the traffic to your website.

Today on the show we are joined by Matt Giovanisci, successful entrepreneur, website wizard, podcast producer, and video veteran. His specialties include web design, internet marketing, web development, SEO, small and corporate business marketing and more, and he is here to talk about how he makes money through information-based sites, affiliate offers and how their link manager tool LASSO fits into it all.

We also talk about the importance of editing your business and scrutinizing expenses, focusing on what you are truly good at and knowing when to delegate and outsource tasks to optimize your productivity. He also shares how he manages to create consistent, high-quality content while avoiding burnout, and he dishes out advice for those who are looking to start producing videos or podcasts.
