12 Sep 2024Harnessing NLP To Sell A Business For Millions - Tony Nutley00:56:19

“It’s like a kitchen knife - it all depends on how you use it”

In today's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren is speaking to Tony Nutley, a neuro-linguistic programming trainer from UK College of Personal Development.

Darren and Tony discuss the complexities involved in this powerful method of coaching; from how it can have genuinely life-changing positive effects for some, while for others, it can have nefarious consequences, with “snake oil” coaches utilising it as a tool for manipulation.

NEVER touch this company with a barge pole

...is what people will say about you if you don't deal with problems correctly.

In today's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren has declared war against a furniture company.

27 Oct 2022Katherine Jones of ThinK Wine on Disrupting The Old Boys' Club of Wine00:55:28

This week on the Engaging Marketeer, I'm speaking to entrepreneur, businessperson, influencer marketing guru and wine-making extraordinaire, Katherine Jones. As director of both the We Are SM influencer marketing agency and the ThinK Wine Group, Katherine has clearly demonstrated that she can excel in more than one industry.

Kath and I are discussing the nature of running businesses in these two distinctive, fairly unrelated industries. While on the one hand, Katherine is excelling in the still relatively recent field of influencer social media marketing, her ThinK Wine Group is also challenging the outdated conventions and practices within the wine industry.

To contact Katherine regarding her businesses, she advises finding her on LinkedIn or emailing her to her respective email addresses.

About Katherine Jones

Born in raised in Liverpool, Katherine not only had a natural talent for business, she also possessed a keen desire to travel. When she had the opportunity to work for the Marriott hotel chain in Louisville, Kentucky, she snapped at the opportunity. She says this experience helped her to become much more confident, which she has carried through to her successful business career.

Today, Kath is the head of two prospering, yet entirely distinctive, businesses, using her experiences in business to forge her own lane across different industries.

21 Apr 2022How I Traced a Fake Facebook Profile and Salvaged My Reputation as a Father00:19:55

Cyber bullying – it's not big, it's not clever, and it's really, really unpleasant if you are the victim of it. When I was in school, social media didn't exist, but nowadays, social media bullying is unfortunately rife. 

If you're the victim of social media bullying, particularly on Facebook, it's the kind of thing that you can't always get away from, because it's there it's 24/7. It's in your face all the time, and I had some involvement with social media bullying a few years ago, when I got the opportunity to be the hero. Here's the story of how I successfully traced a fake Facebook profile and salvaged my reputation as a father in the process. 

If you or someone you know is suffering with Facebook bullying, here's the link to the guide I've written to follow the process of tracking these bullies for yourself: https://www.onlinelearningacademy.co.uk/courses/how-to-trace-a-fake-facebook-account-ebook

A PR nightmare!

Not only can failing to keep your domain name cost you thousands, but it can also ruin your reputation - as was in the unfortunate case of Heinz, where ketchup bottle QR codes gave customers more than they bargained for.

In today’s episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Alan Knell, now the Philanthropy & Relationship Manager of the Hospice of Good Shepherd, uncovers the truth behind the lack of support available to those working in the military, along with shocking suicide statistics in those attempting to return to a “normal” life.

01 Aug 2024Why Working On Peaky Blinders Was Not The Dream I Expected - Jack Leigh00:53:35

When dreams don't always meet your expectations - don’t give up!

Following university, Jack has had a varied and expansive career in the film industry - from working on renowned shows like Peaky Blinders and huge films like Fast & Furious to eventually running his own film production company, Eight Engines.

In today's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Jack discusses the range of experiences that often come from working in what is often seen as a "glamorous" industry. He talks about how he often suffered from feeling isolated, working as much as 16 hours per day, and the downright dangerous locations his career took him - like a military base in Kenya.

His passion for TV and film, however, remains evident, and he now uses his agency to tell the story of others, helping businesses to creatively showcase their message to the rest of the world.

08 Aug 2024How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything00:11:08

The domino effect of failing to show up

How you do anything is how you do everything - and that’s how it’s perceived. So, while you might believe that saying you’ll be somewhere and then not showing up is harmless, this could have an impact on how other people see you - and, in turn, your reputation.

28 Apr 2022Lesbian Vampire Killers Director Talks Filmmaking, Actors, Script Writing & James Corden01:11:19

In this episode I have a long overdue catch up with one of my old mates from film school, director Phil Claydon.

Phil Claydon is best known for directing the 2009 film Lesbian Vampire Killers, but he's so much more than that! His passion and excitement for film really shines through, and he was the one at film school who everyone knew was going to make it – he’s also the only one from our year who graduated with a First.

I’m not jealous!

In this revealing interview, we talk about our time in film school, and how Phil actually blagged his way into film school after being rejected multiple times. It’s a lesson for anyone on persistence in following your dreams.

Phil talks about how he managed to get his film projects off the ground, and the hard work involved in making each project a reality.

Phil talks about directing James Corden (The Late Late Show with James Corden, Into The Woods, Trolls, Cats) and what it was like working with James. Phil also discloses how he feels when James Corden hates down on the film Lesbian Vampire Killers whenever it’s mentioned on the Sky One show A League of Their Own.

We hear how Corden’s co-star Mathew Horne (Gavin & Stacey, Planet 51, Robin Hood) won the role in the film with some help from Gavin & Stacey co-writer Ruth Jones, and how Phil had to play peacemaker between James Corden and Paul McGann (Doctor Who, Alien 3, Withnail & I) on the set of Lesbian Vampire Killers.

Phil talks about his first film, Alone, and how he, as a 24-year-old director, felt working with the legendary actress Miriam Margolyes (Harry Potter, Babe, Romeo + Juliet). We hear about creative differences with the film’s soundtrack that led to Rick Wakeman’s soundtrack being replaced, and the awkward conversation required to do that.

For anyone interested in films, fimmaking or how you get a project off the ground, this is a ‘must listen to’ podcast.

18 Aug 2022Dr. Ivan Misner: Why BNI Chapters Should NOT Accept Mediocrity00:58:54

Today, I’m talking to the founder and chief visionary officer the world’s largest business networking company BNI, Dr. Ivan Misner. Since founding BNI in the 1980s, Misner's approach to networking has benefitted millions of people around the world and helped to generate billions in revenue, with over 10,000 BNI chapters now active across more than 76 nations.

Key Takeaways

Ivan's attitude towards success and the idea of regrets should motivate any aspiring businessperson. Despite his enourmous success, it is clear that Misner remains hugely passionate about BNI and his strong thoughts on how a chapter should be run are clearly evident here. Like many other successful people, he values hard work as the most important aspect of achieving great things.

Observations from Ivan during this podcast include:

  • "If you expect the best out of people, you tend to get it."
  • "The secret to success without hard work and good choices is still a secret... it just doesn’t exist!"
  • "Do six things a thousand times, not a thousand things six times."
  • "Mistakes are your tuition for success."
  • "After we’d opened 20 chapters, I thought "I'm gonna need a bigger boat!""
  • "I’ll be one of the first hundred or so people who go up on the commercial flights with Virgin Galactic!"

Ivan Misner, Ph.D.

Dr. Ivan Misner is the Founder & Chief Visionary Officer of BNI, the world’s largest business networking organization.  Founded in 1985, the organization now has over 10,700 chapters in 76 countries throughout every populated continent of the world.  Last year alone, BNI generated 12.4 million referrals resulting in more than $18.6 billion dollars worth of business for its members.

Dr. Misner’s Ph.D. is from the University of Southern California.  He is a New York Times Bestselling author who has written 27 books including one of his latest books – Who’s in Your Room? He is also a columnist for Entrepreneur.com and has been a university professor as well as a member of the Board of Trustees for the University of La Verne. 

Called the “Father of Modern Networking” by both Forbes and CNN, Dr. Misner is considered to be one of the world’s leading experts on business networking and has been a keynote speaker for major corporations and associations throughout the world.  He has been featured in the L.A. Times, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times, as well as numerous TV and radio shows including CNN, the BBC, and The Today Show on NBC.

Among his many awards, he has been named “Humanitarian of the Year” by the Red Cross and has been the recipient of the John C. Maxwell Leadership Award.  He is proud that he and his late wife, Elisabeth, are the Co-Founders of the BNI Charitable Foundation.

02 Jun 2022How GAME Doubled their Website Sales with One Change00:12:45

In this podcast, I’m going to talk about a time when I first started in the web design industry, back in the late 1990s-early 2000s. 

My first “proper” job was as the web designer for GAME. When I worked at GAME originally, it was called Electronics Boutique. The company then bought the Irish company GAME, which had a very different customer profile. 

It wanted to keep the brand separate initially, meaning there were two different websites. GAME then made a decision to differentiate the design of these two websites that absolutely crippled the GAME site's online sales. 

This mistake is one that countless business owners and indeed web designers also make regularly. In this episode, I'm going to talk about that mistake, and how GAME went on to fix it and DOUBLE its website sales. 

If you’re considering a new website design, please listen to this podcast first.

21 Apr 2022Jenny Agutter Talks American Werewolf, John Landis and Sex Scenes00:28:46

With an acting career that started when she was just 12 years old, Jenny Agutter has appeared in some of the best-loved cult classics of the last 40 odd years. Her movie credits include such films as Logan’s Run, An American Werewolf in London, The Railway Children, the hugely controversial ‘Walkabout’ and even in the MCU in Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.  Her TV credits are just as impressive, with appearances in much-loved shows such as Magnum PI, Murder She Wrote, The Equalizer, Red Dwarf and most recently as Sister Julienne in Call the Midwife.

I caught up with Jenny in a London hotel room to discuss her work on the brilliant 1980s horror comedy ‘An American Werewolf in London’, where we talked at length about the director John Landis (who also directed Michael Jackson’s Thriller video), her controversial movie ‘Walkabout’ which was previously banned and what is was liking filming a sex scene with co-star David Naughton. Jenny opens up on An American Werewolf in London like she’s never done before.

14 Sep 2023Vipoola Devani: Finding Joy Through Self Awareness00:56:54

On this week's Engaging Marketeer I am speaking with Vipoola Devani about consciousness and self-awareness, which I will confess is not really my thing because I am a complete luddite when it comes to emotional awareness and emotional intelligence. But I'm going to learn something on this and I am going to change the way I get up in the morning and the way I affect my mood thanks to speaking with Vipoola so let's hear about this.

Vipoola covers how she became a spiritual practitioner, what services she provides and who her services are aimed at.

 

About Vipoola:
Working as a Conscious Relationship Coach and Spiritual Practitioner, Vipoola provides assistance for individuals to discover their authentic self to lead a more fulfilled life and create better relationships.

24 Feb 2023How to Get Your Podcast to Number One in Apple's Chart00:13:06

In this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I'd like to show you how YOU can get your podcast, whether it exists yet or not, to number one in Apple's podcast rankings.

This is, in part, a little bit of a rant as well. This is because, as happens on a semi-regular basis, I got into a little bit of a fracas with a self-proclaimed podcast guru on LinkedIn about this very topic. He told me I couldn't get my podcast to number one without paying for ads, even though that is exactly what I did. So, with that in mind, I'm going to show you how you can do the exact same thing.

This technique is amazing, it's clever, and I'd like to thank my friend Kane Baron for helping to make this a reality for me and so many others. Kane specialises in the podcasting industry and runs webinars on how you can earn top rankings on Apple, so be sure to sign up to one if you want to learn even more.

Please leave a like if you enjoyed this podcast, and we hope to see you on the next episode of the Engaging Marketeer.

29 Aug 2024How Cheap Weight-Loss Pens Could Kill You - Pharmacist Jella Kang00:51:15

Doing THIS can be fatal

In this week's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren speaks to Jella Kang about why people are turning to downright dangerous weight loss products when looking for a "quick fix".

Instead, The Medical Hub is all about educating people on the science behind weight loss, including how mental states such as stress can have an impact on diet, and why reaching for that short term solution is never the answer.

30 Dec 2022When MORE Website Traffic Is NOT The Answer00:10:26

Welcome to another episode of the Engaging Marketeer podcast. I'm afraid it's going to get a little bit ranty on today's episode, unfortunatley. Yet again, I find myself being asked a question almost non-stop that has a fairly simple answer, however, it doesn't seem to resonate with some people.

If you are considering asking a marketing agency to give your website more traffic in order to generate more leads and sales, please listen to this podcast in advance. It may save you quite a lot of time, money and some awkward conversations along the way. I'm a bit fed up of telling people the same thing, so hopefully this podcast will help anyone that's quite confused about whether they should be investing in paid methods of website traffic.

If you enjoy this podcast, please feel free to follow the Engaging Marketeer on whichever podcast platform you use, and don't forgot to leave us a like, comment or review if you've got something to say about what you've heard. We hope to see you again next time.

24 Mar 2023Preparing for a TEDx Talk on Cyber Bullying00:08:22

I'm doing a TEDx talk! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this to anyone yet as I'm usually very good at keeping exciting news such as this to myself, but I just couldn't keep it in any longer...

In all seriousness, in this podcast, I'm looking ahead to what is a massive moment for me, as well as expressing the range of feelings I've been experiencing towards the talk. Of course I'm buzzing with excitement, but in this episode I also dive into some of the nerves, worries and feelings of not belonging that I've experienced over the past couple of weeks as I prepare for my talk.

My TEDx talk on cyber bullying will be taking place on April 4th, with the recording set to be posted on the TEDx website and TED app in the weeks after. I'd be grateful to every single one of you if you could have a watch of my talk when it is released and give me any thoughts or feedback you may have. I can't wait.

In the meantime, feel free to give this podcast a review, and be sure to subscribe to the Engaging Marketeer on your preferred podcast platform if you've not already.

06 Apr 2023How to Go Live on TikTok with Fewer Than 1,000 Followers00:10:42

Ever wanted to go live on TikTok?

Even if you're not the most avid TikTok user, you'd be surprised at how much reach you can get with TikTok Lives compared to going live on Facebook or Instagram, for example.

The only problem is that TikTok reserves the ability to go live for accounts with over 1,000 followers...

...however, there is a way around this, and in this podcast, I'm explaining exactly how you can go live on TikTok no matter how many followers you have!

I've tried this out for myself and I've seen first-hand the reach that TikTok Lives can give you, so be sure to give this podcast a listen and discover how you can do this yourself.

If this has helped you out at all, please remember to leave a review for this podcast and to follow the Engaging Marketeer. If you know anyone that may benefit from this podcast, feel free to share it with them as well.

09 Jun 2022Complaining Cow, Helen Dewdney, on How Businesses Should Handle Complaints00:53:06

In this episode, I'm speaking with Helen Dewdney, also known as The Complaining Cow. Now, she won’t be offended that I call her that, as it’s literally her brand! Helen helps people make complaints to companies, and she helps companies form their own complaints procedures to make it easier for their customers and their clients to complain to them. 

It was great to talk to a kindred spirit, as I've done plenty of complaining myself in the past. In this interview, Helen talks about what makes her so passionate about complaining, her advice on what customers should do to get the resolutions they deserve, what companies should do to improve their customer service and more. 

Whether you're a customer who's experienced dreadful customer service with a company or you're a business wanting to improve your complaints processes, this is a must-listen interview.

01 Sep 2022Hayley Meakes Discusses the Will to Win of the Sporting Elite00:53:19

In this episode, I'm talking to successful marketeer and podcast host Hayley Meakes. Hayley is the host of the SnipBit podcast, which has featured interviews from a wide range of successful athletes. These include athletics legends such as Steve Backley, Roger Black and her uncle, Daley Thompson, as well as a number of other interesting guests. Hayley is a good friend of mine, which allows for a natural, free-flowing and absorbing conversation.

Here, Hayley discusses topics such as the process of finding high-profile guests for her podcast, the very best interviews that she has conducted, as well as how she manages to stay ahead in the world of marketing. Hayley's terrific insight into her work shines through as she reveals the anxieties faced by athletes when they decide to open up in interviews and the importance of a strong mindset when attempting to grow a business.

It's clear to see how Hayley has managed to attract a variety of successful celebrities to her podcast, thanks to her sympathetic approach to interviewing that contrasts how many stars have been conditioned to view the media.

 

About Hayley Meakes

Hayley Meakes is a successful businessperson and podcast host based in the U.K. Her areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, public speaking, digital marketing, interviewing, employee engagement, strategic thinking, branding and creative development, campaign planning and project management.

Away from work, Hayley is a keen fan of sport, as you may expect given her relation to the great Daley Thompson. However, Hayley's accomplishments stand out by themselves, as she has worked incredibly hard to get to the position she's in today.

07 Sep 2023I was dead for 29 minutes - Brand Consultant Nigel Davies00:55:15

On this week’s Engaging Marketeer, I am speaking with Nigel Davies from Pin Creative.

Nigel has got two very exciting things about him, firstly he is a brand guru and was actually responsible for the rebrand of a company, you might have heard of, called Ford, secondly, he died. He was clinically dead for 29 minutes in something they call “downtime.”

Main talking points include:

  • The story of Nigel's "downtime"
  • Pre warnings
  • How this impacted his life afterwards
  • How to create a brand
  • Creating a brand as a smaller business

About Nigel Davies:

Nigel is a brand guru and has helped many companies to create their brand and identity, the biggest of which being Ford! He also had a horrifying experience a few years back, where he was clinically dead for 29 minutes in what the doctors described as “downtime.”

05 May 2022Huge Mistake that Continues to Cripple Websites' Traffic, Leads and Sales00:16:18

In this episode, I’m going to talk to you about one of the most obvious mistakes that people make with their website that can absolutely destroy their rankings in search engines, and the traffic, sales and leads that come through them. 

This is such an obvious mistake, I can’t fathom why anybody would ever make it in today’s day of search engine optimisation (SEO). Recently, one of our clients who moved their website to a new agency did exactly this mistake, and it crippled their website. 

When somebody says we're going to get a new website, there's a series of alarm bells that kick off. The biggest one is about the content. We always say to clients, “please, please don’t delete your content”.

If you delete your site’s content, all of these pages that people are coming into your website on when they search for it in Google won’t be there anymore, and if it's not there anymore, it won't appear in Google. If it doesn't appear in Google, your clients aren’t going to find it when they look for you, they're not going to come through to your website, and your traffic will just drop. Your enquiries will stop. Your new business will fade away. 

If you’re considering a new website – especially if you’re moving to a new web designer – please listen to this podcast first. Your future customers will thank you!

16 Dec 2022Two Grumpy Old Sods Chat Web Design - Featuring Nick Arkell00:47:22

In this episode of the Engaging Marketeer podcast, I am joined by Nick Arkell, one of the amazing web designers at Engage Web, for a discussion on all things web design. While I hoped that we’d be able to inspire people that want to become web designers, our suspicions that this will just turn into two grumpy old blokes moaning about web design and how things have changed was more or less how it turned out.

Nick and I are discussing how he got started in web design, the many changes that have occurred in the industry since, as well as the MANY things that cause the most inconvenience as a web designer.

As ever, make sure you subscribe or follow the Engaging Marketeer on whichever podcast platform you use if you have enjoyed this podcast.

18 Nov 2022Can You Make The Logo BIGGER?00:08:33

As a website designer for over two decades, there isn't a question I've heard more than 'Can you make the logo bigger?'

It's an inside joke in our industry at this point. So, in this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I attempt to politely explain why this is not a good question to ask the designer of your website. Unfortunately, I think I fail to be quite so polite, although an attempt was definitely made.

Of course, this mini-rant is aimed at nobody in particular, and I just want to help everybody in understanding what their website is truly for .

06 Oct 2022Stop SPAMMING Social Media With This Crap Content00:11:43

In this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I must talk, yet again, about how companies are using social media to promote their business. Unfortunately, I seem to have the exact same conversations with people about how NOT to use social media, but it seems as though nobody learns from their mistakes.

When used properly, Facebook groups can be a valuable tool for your business. However, if you simply use these groups in the same lazy, unimaginative ways as everybody else, you will not drive any business through Facebook groups. Many people have tried to dispute this but, as I explain in this episode, it is a fact. Thankfully, I can show you how you can actually use Facebook groups to your advantage.

For more constructive and educational marketing discussions, as well as a range of fantastic interviews with special guests, make sure you are subscribed to the Engaging Marketeer podcast on YouTube, as well as any other podcast platform you use.

20 Jul 2023Working Remotely From The Island Of Gozo - Tommi Murshed-Parish00:59:20

There's remote working, and then there's working from a Maltese island!

Today on the Engaging Marketeer, I'm talking to video director, filmmaker and BNI member Tommi Murshed-Parish. Tommi is based on the island of Gozo, located just off Malta, which is where he carries out all of his video and BNI work. Tommi is an expert on video, which is why he was able to take this interview on the side of a Gozo road.

I'm talking to Tommi about:

  • Why he moved to Gozo: As hard as it is to believe that anyone would EVER want to leave the UK, Tommi and I discuss his relocation, as well as the differences between life in Gozo and Britain.
  • Working remotely: It might be quite hard for some to imagine the concept of a completely remote BNI member, but it's just what Tommi does. He tells me how he manages to find referrals for members in areas as far as South Africa, Mauritius and even Leeds!
  • Video presentations: Tommi uses his expertise in videography to help people, particularly BNI members, to create video presentations which are professional, get their point across and, crucially, that sound good. Him taking this interview on the side of a busy road is just an example of his audio prowess.

04 Aug 2022Billy Edwards Talks Running TF Nation, Transformers and Dealing with Anxiety01:00:13

In this episode, I'm interviewing a very old friend of mine, Billy Edwards, who I’ve known for 20-something years. Billy is a solicitor in Liverpool, but it’s more interesting that he organises and runs what I think is Europe’s largest Transformers convention - which takes place in Birmingham each year - TF Nation. 

We talk about TF Nation, what the future holds for the convention and what it’s like for Billy dealing with anxiety and having initially struggled to attend a convention to then end up running it on stage with a microphone. 

If you're a Transformers lover, would like to attend TF Nation or struggle with social anxiety within large crowds, listen to this podcast.

17 Feb 2023Graham Dobbin: How a Brit Started a Business in the USA & Australia01:04:20

This week on the Engaging Marketeer, I'm speaking with an old friend of mine in Graham Dobbin. After working in the UK as a business coach, Graham has spent the past few years taking his talents across the pond, before going ALL the way down under!

In this episode, Graham tells me about the long process of leaving for New York, the difficulties he found while he was in the Big Apple, as well as the devastation caused by the COVID-19 lockdowns in the city. He then explains how this caused him to relocate again, this time in Sydney, Australia. Graham compares the working and business culture in the UK, US and Australia - hearing his fascinating insight is a must for any aspiring relocating business owners.

08 Sep 2022RANT! When You're Accused of Copying a Competitor's Website00:09:23

It's time for a bit of a rant on today's episode of the Engaging Marketeer. Unfortunately, I've received word of some ridiculous behaviour within the digital marketing industry, involving supposedly 'stolen' websites and some frankly laughable legal action. I feel compelled to address the sheer audacity of the news I've caught wind of, and while I probably could have gone further into rant mode because of how strongly I feel about this issue, I just had to get some of this off my chest.

If you've been on the end of some of the genuinely odd behaviour similar to what is referred to in this podcast, do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me a message, I would be more than happy to help.

10 Feb 2023How to Turn A WordPress Website into a Membership Site00:16:27

In this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I'm talking you through some ways that you can turn your WordPress website into a membership or subscription-based site.

There are a number of subscription sites out there that offer these types of services. However, the costs and logistics of managing your content on these sites can be a little tricky, so I thought I'd talk you through the process of turning a WordPress website, which many of you may already have, into a membership site that allows you to earn a revenue from the content on your site.

If you're a pretty techy person, you've got a good chance of being able to do all this on your own. Even if you're not, however, if you're looking to turn your website into a membership service, these tips can help you save a lot of money and stress.

For a complete walk through on how you can turn a WordPress website into a membership site, you can join EngageWeb.Club here: https://engageweb.club

13 Jul 2023People Who Say "All My Business Comes From Word-Of-Mouth Referrals" Are WRONG00:07:41

'All my business comes from word of mouth'

Please don't say this sentence to me. It will infuriate me, and in this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I'm explaining why this is total nonsense.

Now, if you have no ambition to improve, grow or scale your business, then I can understand if the idea of winning more business is unappealing to you.

However, if you want your business to reach the levels you dream about, I'm here to tell you what you're REALLY saying when you tell me all your business comes from word-of-mouth referrals.

If you're guilty of thinking or, god forbid, SAYING things like this, I implore you to listen to this podcast and hear me out.

Please be sure to leave me a five-star rating if you've enjoyed this podcast. Or if you know somebody who could benefit from this little rant, feel free to direct them here (it'll be great word of mouth for the podcast.)

The main purpose of your website should be to attract business - and having your IT department as the main operator simply won't cut it.

30 Jun 2022RANT! Why Nobody Wants To Read Your Facebook Group Posts00:11:34

In this podcast, I talk about something that may seem quite basic and obvious to most people within the digital marketing industry, but based on the experiences I’ve had with people over the last few weeks, it does actually need to be expressed. 

What is it, you may ask? 

How to promote your business via Facebook groups. 

I discuss the mistake that so many people make when it comes to promoting their businesses in Facebook groups - and what people should actually do if they want to increase their reach and engagement (and ultimately get business). 

So, if you're about to post in a Facebook group, hold that thought and listen to this episode first!

21 Apr 2022Lorenzo di Bonaventura: The $7 Billion Box Office Film Producer Talks Transformers and Michael Bay00:12:18

Lorenzo di Bonaventura’s movies have generated well in excess of $7 billion at the global box office, and he has worked on some of the film industry’s largest franchises such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, Jack Ryan and Maze Runner. The list of actors Lorenzo has produced in films reads like a who’s who of Hollywood royalty, including Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins, Mark Wahlberg, Dame Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Catherine Zeta Jones, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to name but a few.

I caught up with Lorenzo ahead of the release of the third Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon, to discuss what it was like working on such a popular and big budget franchise film, and with ‘stars’ of the film that nobody ever saw on set as they were digitally added afterwards. In this brief interview Lorenzo discusses his early film influences, the challenges of producing a billion dollar feature film using a new 3D technology, and how they chose the lead characters for the Transformers movies.

Lorenzo talks about why he and director Michael Bay chose Chicago for a climactic battle scene, and how Chicago is different from almost every other US city. He also tells us what Michael Bay is like to work with on a daily basis, especially when shooting action sequences.

This podcast covers:
- Cath's life before being a public speaking coach
- How she made the transition to being a speaking coach
- How she became a TEDx speaker and teaching Darren for his TEDx talk

And much more!

21 Apr 2022Run Away Fast When You Hear 'Digital Marketers' Say This00:10:41

Something that really annoys me about my industry is when the so-called 'rock stars' of SEO spend all their time telling people they're really good at SEO, and what search terms they rank for. The search terms they're so proud of are invariably never searched for, which is why they've managed to rank for them, and the only people who ever search for them are 1) themselves, and 2) other people who are told they rank for it, straight after being told.

When someone tells you how great they are at SEO, and spends their time telling you what they rank for, ask yourself 'who cares?'. The best people at SEO don't go around telling others what they rank for in Google, they're too busy dealing with the business they receive from the phrases they actually rank for in Google.

This is my slightly irritated take on one such digital marketing 'expert' who does this.

19 May 2022What Is The Ideal Length For a Blog For SEO?00:11:41

"It's 800 words! Neil Patel says it's 800 words! Don't do anything shorter than that or it won't work!"

In this podcast I address one of the most common questions I get asked, and it's a relatively simple one, but it's so often answered wrongly.

Far too many supposed SEO and digital marketing experts cling like glue to something Neil Patel or John Mueller may have said once upon a time, taking it out of context and presenting it as gospel.

So, what really is the ideal length for a blog? Or is that even the right question?

After that, I move on to another topic where nonsense advice drives me crazy - duplicate content. Is it a no go? Is Google cool with it? Is what I'm doing "duplicate content" or is it "repurposing"?

A nice succinct one for this week, as I wrap up both these matters in under 15 minutes.

Watch the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylCuyOZCLeQ&

Here's the blog from Neil Patel that many people seem to cite regularly - https://neilpatel.com/blog/long-blog-articles/. Note that he says "it only matters if the content is good" and mentions that some bloggers have had success with blogs of under 200 words.

27 Apr 2023Logan Bryant Increasing Rankings and Traffic with Content-Driven SEO00:58:39

Today on the Engaging Marketeer, I'm talking all things SEO with Logan Bryant, who's a specialist in process-driven SEO and inbound demand generation.

In this podcast, Logan and I are talking about the weird and wonderful world of SEO as it stands in 2023. This includes the various forms through which success in SEO can be measured, as well as the many changes that are sure to be coming to the industry in near future.

Some of the topics covered in this episode include:

Logan's beginnings in SEO: Logan talks about his journey in the SEO industry, which has resulted in him specialising in content-driven SEO.

SEO fails: With an understanding of why some businesses dismiss the benefits of SEO, me and Logan discuss why some people refuse to give SEO a chance, whether they're right or wrong to do so, and how we as professionals can help convince them that SEO will benefit their business.

ChatGPT: It wouldn't be a discussion of SEO in 2023 without talking about ChatGPT! Without making a prediction of the exact manner in which AI will effect SEO, Logan argues that it will be the biggest change ever seen in the industry.

About Logan Bryant:

Logan Bryant is an SEO specilaist who works with in-house teams and unicorn companies to build content-led SEO programs that impact bottom-line revenue growth for B2B SaaS.

Logan uses his expertise, coupled with data orientation, to stay on top of trends and the latest techniques in the SEO industry.
