		<description>Michael...I just got a newsletter with a tribute to Keith Miller. They had a link with an online version. I think you&#039;ll enjoy this.

		<description>I’m sorry to hear about Keith. He was a friend of mine, but I had not seen him in a couple of years. 
Can you provide a link to your site? Thanks.</description>

		<description>Michael, we built a business around the concept. Just launched it a week ago. We do all the work (except for the talking). We provide a professional radio guy to be the sidekick, we transcribe, professionally rewrite the transcription and handle posting to the blog and setting up RSS/iTunes. We even have a super cool brainstorm/outline process that generates a year&#039;s worth of topics in 37 minutes. 

We provide the outline process for free (for an opti-in). It was taught to us by Keith Miller, author of The Taste of New Wine. We give him credit in the video. He passed away last week. We didn&#039;t get to tell him about the terrific feedback we&#039;ve been getting on his process. We adapted it to creating a blog editorial calendar, but he used to teach it to authors as a quick way to outline a book. The guy who taught it to Keith used it to plan new businesses. 

BTW...we&#039;re going to teach exactly how to do what we&#039;re doing for free via our own blog/email. I mention this because we&#039;ve had a few comments about being expensive for individual authors, small biz and sole proprietors.  Our target clients are people who need to save time, not money. We actually operate pretty lean. Vetted professional interviewers and editors are not cheap. We don&#039;t outsource to the freelance world.

I hope this doesn&#039;t come off as too promotional. My business partner and I have been teaching this stuff for over 5 years and found that most people get started and just lose steam. We figured out how to provide the steam.</description>

		<description>Yes, I am talking about a fan page. I still think you should set one up if you intend to write or build a following. I use my facebook profile exclusively for real friends.</description>

		<description>Michael, concerning your comment about a Facebook page.  I&#039;m assuming your talking about a fan page... If so I&#039;ve been a little hesitant to do that.   I&#039;m new to the blogosphere so I would think that starting a Facebook fan page would be a little presumptuous.  I was thinking that would be something for down the road...  You know when my readership has expanded beyond my mom and dad.</description>

		<description>Throughout my career, I&#039;ve met a lot of experts who had a lot to share. These are people who should be authors, who I wish were authors, who&#039;s friends wish they were authors. Problem was that they just would not, could not find the time to write, or they didn&#039;t have the confidence to write. We figured out that if they&#039;d just buddy up with someone who could interview them for a podcast, they could produce about 80,000 words in a year doing a 10-minute weekly podcast. The magic comes in the repurposing of those spoken words. Transcribe them, then turn them into blog posts and articles. If you&#039;re following a chapter by chapter outline, you&#039;ll have your book in 52 weeks. Now, it&#039;s just an editing job instead of a writing job. That seems a whole lot easier. I love finding shortcuts.</description>

		<description>This is a great post, and I&#039;m pleased to say I&#039;m pretty much following all of the tips already. It sure is a lot of work, but it&#039;s definitely paying off, as the posts on my blogs are beginning to develop a true community (particularly on my writer&#039;s blog.) 

And I agree. Twitter is amazing, and it&#039;s only after you use it for awhile that you realize its true value.  </description>
