#1269 Today's Where Are They Now? session is truly special! You see, my returning guest has done a fantastic job of adapting and refocusing when circumstances almost shut his business down. So how did he pull it off? In this episode, I'm catching up with Jim from Spanish and Go to find out. He runs a fantastic brand with his wife, May, helping people connect to the culture and language of Spanish-speaking countries. The pandemic put an abrupt stop to the high-ticket retreats at the core of their monetization strategy, but a shift to podcasting helped Jim and May offset that in a big way. Their show is up from sixty thousand to almost a million downloads since we last spoke. That's insane! Now, Spanish and Go has become a thriving six-figure business. Join us for this great discussion to learn how Jim has leveraged his organic audience growth to attract sponsors and create a community of superfans!

Where Are They Now? Aaron LeBauer

I’m Pat Flynn, a regular guy who happens to be a successful online entrepreneur. You may know me from my other podcast, Smart Passive Income, which is consistently ranked as a #1 business podcast. I love hearing from my fans, and the opportunity to answer their questions was why I started the original AskPat podcast. After 1,000 very successful episodes, I’m making AskPat even better! AskPat 2.0 takes the AskPat template and goes deeper with a weekly coaching call between me and an entrepreneur just like you! I won't be able to coach everyone, but I'll do my best to feature entrepreneurs with questions other online business owners can relate to and learn from. If you’re stuck with your online business, just ask pat! Now, plug in those headphones because it’s time to learn together about online business, entrepreneurship, internet marketing, audience building, passive income, blogging, list building, virtual assistants, startups, search engine optimization, email marketing, and so much more. #askpat

So much great info here. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend

I’ve gotten soo much value from this podcast that it’s unbelievable!  I highly recommend listening!

Outstanding!!

AskPat 2.0: A Weekly Coaching Call on Online Business, Blogging, Marketing, and Lifestyle Design

Today's question comes from Sean, who asks about building traffic to his blog. Which method is best for a new blog: SEO or content marketing? Sean’s site is http://flighttrainingpro.com.

This is the FoodTruckr article I mentioned (http://foodtruckr.com/2013/10/what-i-wish-id-known-before-starting-my-food-truck/). The giveaway plugin I recommend is KingSumo (http://kingsumo.com/).

How Do I Grow My Business Faster?

Today's question comes from Marie, who is building an online course for kids. What is the best tool to use for delivering video and keeping them protected?In this episode, I discuss how I use video on my free podcasting tutorial (http://www.podcastingtutorial.com) versus a paid course like Smart From Scratch. Teachable is a good option if you're looking for a full course platform (http://askpat.com/teachable). If you're using your own hosting system (like WordPress with a membership plugin), Wistia is an excellent video platform (https://wistia.com/), as is Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/).Do you have a question about hosting a paid course? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/.My new course, Smart From Scratch, launches this month to help you choose and validate a business idea.

Today's question comes from Marie, who is building an online course for kids. What is the best tool to use for delivering video and keeping them protected? In this episode, I discuss how I use video on my free podcasting tutorial (<a href="http://www.podcastingtutorial.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.podcastingtutorial.com</a>) versus a paid course like Smart From Scratch. Teachable is a good option if you're looking for a full course platform (<a href="http://askpat.com/teachable" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://askpat.com/teachable</a>). If you're using your own hosting system (like WordPress with a membership plugin), Wistia is an excellent video platform (<a href="https://wistia.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://wistia.com/</a>), as is Vimeo (<a href="https://vimeo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/</a>). Do you have a question about hosting a paid course? Record it at <a href="http://www.askpat.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.askpat.com/</a>.
