Many of us who sell and market information products online use blogs as a primary means of reaching potential customers. So we need to improve our blogging chops.
Fellow bloggers Sid Savara and Srinivas Rao have just what you need. They’ve created an excellent resource for you at BlogCastFM: an ongoing series of podcasts with successful bloggers.
Just Who Are These Successful Bloggers?
Many of them are Third Tribe Marketing types that I’m quite familiar with, including:
- Dave Navarro, The Launch Coach (I just joined his membership program)
- Nathan Hangen
- J0hnny Truant
- Paul Cunningham
- Dave Doolin
And there are many other well-known bloggers:
- Yaro Starak
- David Risley
- Jonathan Wells
- Dragos Roua
- Dan Andrews
- And a couple dozen others
What Do They Talk About?
Lots of stuff you want to know to improve your blogging, including:
- How they got started blogging
- Their successes and failures
- How they get more traffic
- How they get guest posts on A-list blogs
- How they use their blogs to sell products and services
And each interview is at least 30 minutes long, so you get a lot of good information.
How Do I Get My Hands on These Podcasts?
You can download the podcasts for free and listen to them at your leisure. (I typically do it when I’m driving.)
I’m getting a lot out of these interviews. They’re one of the best free resources you’ll find.
Let me know what you think of the podcasts!

John,
Thank you so much for your kind words. You’re a rockstar. It’s things like this and people like you letting your audience know about what we’re doing that are fundamental to our growth. It’s been a slow and steady growth path for us, but when we see that people like you are getting so much value it’s really encouraging. We’re working on some new stuff for Q3 and we’ll be launching some products as well.

Srinivas, you and Sid came up with an excellent idea and you’ve really taken it to a high level. I’ve gotten a lot of good ideas and a lot of inspiration from listening to the interviews. I’m looking forward to what’s next.
Thanks so much for this! I’ll be sure to check it out and to share it with my tweetpeeps
By the way, I’ve been considering joining Dave Navarro’s program. Wouldn’t mind getting some feedback on it and letting us know what you think…like a blog post maybe (wink,wink)
Michele´s last blog ..5 Steps To Building Your List
Michelle, I’m glad you like this post.
I will eventually write about Dave Navarro’s More Members Every Month program; so far I’m really impressed. He only opens it up occasionally though.
For now I suggest you get his free Launch Coach Library reports, each of which could have been a stand-alone product for sale.
Hi John!
What a great resource this is! Thank you for sharing – I’m heading over there now to download some and get them on my iPod for listening when I’m out and about.

Jess,
Glad to have some new listeners check us out. If you have any feedback or suggestions for us in terms of new content ideas, we’d love to hear them.
Srinivas Rao´s last blog ..Yaro Starak on the 3 MegaNiches- The Smartest Thing You Can do For Your Blog- And Long-Term Growth
Hey John,
This is a nice find. I have heard of many of these people and they seem to be held in high regard, but for some reason I never got around to learning about any of them. So, I guess this is my chance to begin. Thanks for pointing us to this great resource!
Have a great day!
mark´s last blog ..How to Determine If You Use Your Time Wisely
Mark, what I like is the openness with which the bloggers share their successes and failures, and their willingness to tell what worked for them.
Hey John,
Thanks for the shout out and recommending us =)
I’m happy to see you enjoy the podcast, and we love having fans like you. Srinivas works really hard on the interviews (I do the occasional interview but mostly handle things behind the scenes) and I think it’s great to see him getting recognized for really getting out there and getting these interviews for everyone to hear (myself included!)
Sid Savara´s last blog ..Start Things You Can’t Finish
Sid, Srinivas really has managed to snag many of the top bloggers out there, and he asks good questions which in turn get good answers. I haven’t listened to all the interviews, but I’ve been very pleased with the ones I’ve heard so far.
Hey John – thanks for the comment over at my blog today. I love what you’re doing here.
All of the podcasts you mentioned are fantastic! I highly recommend BlogCastFM as well – Srinivas & Sid are awesome.
Pat, thanks for stopping by.
I’ve got a bunch of the BlogCastFm mp3s loaded into my player. I usually listen when I’m driving.
Hi John,
Great resource! It seems that the Podcasts are the way of the future. I just wish I drove somewhere to listen to them. I’m always working. I’m afraid I don’t have a life, I bet I haven’t driven 100 miles in three years. I have to make this Internet Marketing thing work!
Maybe I can listen on my iPod and type at the same time! Maybe not!
