Great episode guys, thanks.
What was the question again?
I think part of my brain exploded with this one. That republishing tip is AWESOME. Thanks for sharing it.
And I love love love the new format. I listen to podcasts because I don’t get a lot of screen time to read blog posts … so you’re delivering the best of what’s about in the format I can actually absorb it.
Hat tip to you both.
Yeah, right, Belinda? So simple, but profound. Glad you like the new format!
Is there any chance you can start publishing transcripts of these podcasts? I don’t have the time or bandwidth required to listed to an episode.
Sorry!
Ben
Great guys!
I really enjoyed this show and the new format! Republishing and Jay’s ideas were my favorites.
Look forwrd to hear form you again!
Can you clarify what date to re-post the content? I think what I gathered was a few minutes in the past…
So, if I want it re-published today. I’d go in to my post (on the Rainmaker Platform) and change the published date to today just a few minutes ago… Correct?
Yep!
