Show 121 – More Facebook on PC or MAC?
- Scott Paton was coming to the show tonight but unfortunately was in a car accident on the way to the show. He is ok but unfortunately, his car is not… can’t make it this time. We ‘ll catch up with Scott in a future episode…
- Norm calls in Voice Mail Feedback… Should he be more active on Facebook and his second question MAC or PC?
- In the Round Table Intros, everyone introduces themselves and answers Norms two questions…
- Paul isn’t on facebook and is very cautious… PC or MAC? Doesn’t think that there is much difference anymore between the two.
- Satomi doesn’t use facebook much. She likes MAC better but she prefers PC for business.
- Ian prefers Linked In to Facebook. He has used both PC and MAC. Both have pros and cons and believes Apple has an advantage controlling both hardware and software. But it isn’t for everyone and depends on what you like.
- Arik says Facebook, PC’s and MACs are just tools and everything is in the cloud baby!
- Bonnie said for her Facebook is not your property… you need your own home on the web. Should Norm be on Facebook… yes. But don’t count on it.
- Paul asks Bonnie how she can manage to follow 100 000 people when his 4 kids are hard enough to follow. Bonnie said lists make it easy.
- Randal recommends Scott Straten’s book “Unmarketing”. He says to pick one social network and dominate it.
- Paul the Rock God just joined facebook THIS WEEK… and has no friends there yet. He likes PC better than MAC because on a PC he can type 70 wpm!
- Adam Stanger has changed careers from landscaping to internet marketing. Adam says Facebook is a tool and that is it. Don’t use it for anything else. Adam says definitely PC… People who buy MACs feel they have to say they are better because they spend three times as much.
- James says Facebook is for fun just as much as it is for business. MAC or PC… depends on what your doing? If you developing iOS apps you must have a MAC.
- Ken started out on a Commodore 64 (Andrew too)… for Social Networks he says go for Google + all the way.
- Good conversation on Google + vs Facebook
- Craig says that his house is almost completely MAC because they have AirPort and Apple TV’s.
- Andrew says jump in with both feet on facebook and likes both PC and MAC and other platforms. Just got the Lenovo Yoga convertible.
- Bob said if Norm isn’t in business just use Facebook to connect with old buddies and family. Ken said that he has been to 3 impromptu high school reunions and a few funerals just from being on Facebook. Bob, it doesn’t matter what PC you get because it is just a tool to get to the cloud.
- Andrew asks if Facebook writes your last timeline post… life event ->Death?
- Arik wants to know if you get a facebook score at the end of your life?
- The Pope is Tweeting in Latin…
- The Tweet of God is only following Beiber.
On to the show notes…
Podcasting
- Bob says just buy a $50 headset and do a Google + hangout and you’re done… Andrew says that isn’t a podcast it is a web show. Without RSS feed you don’t have a podcast.
- Passion is important… but some people are not passionate about their business but they are passionate about the process of creating and running businesses.
- Bob says it is the passion that makes the shows interesting.
- Adam wants to know if you’re passionate and create a great show how long does it take for you to be successful.
- Paul said that there is a difference between people actually going to Meetup and just listening to a podcast. Andrew said that if people are spending an hour every week listening to your show that is a commitment.
- Andrew said that Content is most important… and Audio Quality is a close second or possibly more important.
- Networking with other podcasts in your niche and not thinking of them as competition helps to increase exposure.
- The Rock God wants to know if you can monetize a podcast. Sponsorship, Affiliate Programs, Donations and Cost per 1000 listeners (broadcast radio model).
- Andrew talks about Blubrry’s advertising model.
- Norm called us at 1-877-636-1474 and you can too… join the show by calling in and leaving a message.
