The teaser infographic has been shared on Pinterst, Twitter, Instagram, Tumbler and Facebook accounts, followed by personal posts about how much value I got out of this podcast. Looks like the infographic is catching on like wildfire.
About your challenge: this is a fun little exercise in creativity. I am posting your link every day for the next 3 days to over 20 million people on FB, 13,3 million people on twitter and about 5 million people on google+.
The second thing I have done is identified key persons in my personal circle that would be interested in this podcast and your site in general. I gave them the link and explained them what it is about and why this could be of interest to them.
Only the viral approach will generate true value for you as the other approaches are probably not statistically relevant in their impact, due to what I mentioned in earlier posts with most people fishing in the same pond.
Amazing Tim! English is not my native language and I understand to the spoken speech much worse than the written text, but when I saw you interviewed Arnold, I just had to listen to it. Great and thank you
Would love to win the opportunity to have a long dinner and chat if not in LA maybe the next time you are in Australia or Ireland (we could discuss the merits of touching knights from the crusades ?)
I have been listening to a number of your podcasts, primarily due to the exceptional guests you have. Unfortunately, due to your interviewing style, I find the podcasts simply not that well done, and I find myself getting strangely irritated when you talk, often abandoning the episodes in mid podcast.
In the 4hr work week Tim writes about how to contact anyone and the challenge he put out to top notch university students. Results he found are shocking and inspiring. Really a good book well worth the read !
Just a suggestion on how to get around the spam filtering: instead of only posting the link, a few sentences with the main topics discussed and what the value add is of listening, could go around this spam filter.
Hmm I tweeted you in December (link below) asking for an Arnold interview, with no response and then here he is . Coincidence, I think not! Haha jk, just happy to see you got him on the show. Looking forward to listening to the episode after work.
Last one, just though
bodybuilding.com posted to their facebook timeline. I could be off by a few but I would estimate that I have now put this link in the eyes of over 10 million people over the next few days.
This was so good I started over again so I could take notes. Confidence comes from having a vision. So much of what he talks about our contributors to anyone success. How much he has chosen to give back to his adopted country is phenomenal. Very interesting Man and highly observant
How are you gonna know who specifically drove the biggest traffic to you? Because by promoting it I honestly have no idea how to attach myself to it. But yeah my way will be recommend a listen to my friends, specific groups on facebook, then post it as my status on facebook as well, then share it through another surprise thingy.
That said, my understanding of his little competition is that his magical faeries will just decide which story they like the best, without any real quantification of effective clicks (just the potential targeted audience as some folks have done very nicely here).
Great podcast, would be super interested in round 2 with Arnold. About to Netflix Kindergarten Cop after listening to this. Also listened to Mararet Cho during my trip to Costco and not sure if this book was a suggestion from you but A Simple Act of Gratitude was my favorite book I read in 2014. A great read on the subject of Gratitude.
I have followed Arnold for a long time from reading all of his books to doing all of his workouts. I feel that this interview was the only interview that he truly talked about himself like he does in his books. I think this was a great resource and I will listed to it again just to get a better insight into this great man.
Wrote a blog post about this on my martial arts training site. Referring to inside the mind of Arnold, psychological warfare, confidence, and meditation and how this could be applied to combat sports. Thanks Tim great podcast!
When I saw Pumping Iron I knew Arnold had that psychological edge that would be transferable through business, Hollywood, politics, and beyond. Particularly loved his passion for after school initatives to keep kids focused and engaged and his entreprenual genius mind always looking for opportunities even before he made it big with Conan, Predator and Terminator (and all dis kinds of stuff) spoken in his true Arnold Austrian accent).
