When it comes to creating your podcast, few things are more exciting than publishing your first episode! That’s exactly what I’m going to help you do in this video.

http://www.smartpassiveincome.com – I was blessed to be featured in a spot on Fox 5 San Diego on September 5th, 2012.

Correction to the feature:

1) I was actually laid off from my architecture, not fired.
2) The book on the security guard training site is free. That’s there to help grow my email list. I earn from that site primarily through advertising and the job board.

All good though. Thank you to Jaime Chambers and Jason Zuidema for reaching out to me for the interview!

http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/leadplayer-review

LeadPlayer is a new WordPress plugin that allows you to put opt-in forms for your email list and call to actions buttons ON TOP of your videos at any time during play on your website. You can begin to collect email addresses directly from embedded videos, and you can direct viewers through a specific link they can click on, like a link to another video, a post, a download, or even an affiliate link.

You can host the videos on YouTube so you do not have to pay for hosting at all, and you can even put these opt-in forms and calls to actions on videos on your website for videos that aren’t even yours.

Here is my affiliate link for LeadPlayer, and I do earn a commission if you do go through this link. Thank you if you do, and if you have any questions, please let me know!
