Sarah believes many of us have one within us and she works particularly with business owners to help them turn their business ideas or offer into a book. It is a great way to grow your business, cement your authority and feel a great sense of satisfaction as well will creating something, that perhaps you never thought you could. She has a webinar coming up on the 15/9 - where she also talks in more detail about how this can happen for you!

In today's podcast, I chat with Brendon via BLAB on how we can let go of our fear of Live streaming and a great place to start with that is using BLAB. Even easier than have phone - can broadcast, today we look at have desktop, can speak, can live stream. No one is perfect and the beauty of blab is that you don't need to be. Trust that you can connect with your community in this way and just start. 

How timely given Microsoft's announcement just yesterday that they are intending to buy LinkedIn. I for one think this is a smart move and one that shows that Microsoft really understand their target market and where their 'peeps' actually are. So today's podcast is focussed on a LinkedIn group success story for ALPMA as I chat to Nicki Hauser - Marketing & BD Manager for ALPMA about how she has grown their LinkedIn community from 70 members to over 2000.

In today's episode I am discussing the transformative power of being organised when it comes to your blog. Not everyone can spontaneously bang out 500 words that makes sense, nor think up that great idea on the spot. Kim and I discuss the benefits of a content calendar and why you need to have one.

She also discusses how important building relationships with her customers via Instagram has been and how successful.

David Duffy from Business DNA speaks with Leanne about some of the thinking behind how they choose various elements of their digital ecosystem and how these are aligned with their customers and business goals. You don't need to have every choice on offer, just like a smorgasbord, if you include everything without thinking, it often does not work.
