NOTE: Michael was cool enough to be giving away a signed copy of his book Launch to a member of the RISE community (SWEET!). Whomever promotes this interview in the most creative way (and tells us about it in the comments) will get the book shipped to them. Let the fun begin.

Michael Stelzner knows a thing or two when it comes to building a passionate audience and building a successful media business. Already on the show once before, Michael is the founder of SocialMediaExaminer.com. He created Social Media Examiner a couple years ago for around $5,000. And take a look at what has happened since:

  • 50+ “A-List”, high-quality bloggers contribute high-quality articles, videos, etc. monthly.
  • They have literally millions of page views and nearly 86,000 email subscribers in 19 months.
  • Social Media Examiner went from an unknown to a powerhouse in just a few months.
  • They are running successful online events that thousands of people pay for.
  • Revenue went from $0 to over $1,000,000 in less than one year.
  • Michael is having the time of his life and is excited about his business every day.

And now Michael has taken the knowledge he has accumulated by doing and put it all into his new book Launch: How To Quickly Propel Your Business Beyond The Competition.

I was lucky enough to grab Michael today to share some of the concrete strategies he used so we can all steal them and use them. Enjoy!

About Today’s Guest, Michael Stelzner:

Michael StelznerMichael Stelzner is the founder of Social Media Examiner – a popular online magazine that helps businesses answer social media questions with useful ‘how to’ articles, in-depth case studies, expert interviews, and original research. He’s author of the new book Launch: How to Quickly Propel Your Business Beyond the Competition. He also authored the book Writing White Papers: How to Capture Readers and Keep Them Engaged and the Social Media Marketing Industry Report.

As an innovative thought leader and experienced marketer, Stelzner has gained the full respect of social media leaders and business marketing experts alike. In less than 18 months, SocialMediaExaminer.com grew from infancy to boasting over 80,000 subscribers and is now the top small business blog in the world according to Technorati. He also pioneered the highly popular Social Media Success Summits, which have sold out for two years in a row – in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The principles that Stelzner teaches are the very concepts that helped him build two highly successful businesses that made him a leading expert in both industries.

When it comes to the world of YouTube celebrities, Michael Buckley is right at the top. He is one of YouTube’s original partners with his show “What The Buck” that has over 1,000,000 subscribers (in fact his SECOND channel has around 250,000 subscribers!!). I knew I had to find out more for all of us, and I was able to track down Michael for today’s episode. Enjoy!

About Today’s Guest, Michael Buckley:

Michael BuckleyBuck won the YouTube award for Best Commentary in 2007. In 2008, he was one of the NewTeeVee Breakout Stars of the Year. (He actually won a YouTube bowling trophy once too). In December of 2008, he was featured on the front page of the New York Times and made several TV appearances to discuss his success and the YouTube Partnership Program. He has appeared on CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, FoxNews, the CW, BloombergTV, and E! He also hosts “Dear Buck” where he gives occasionally good advice to his viewers and Live Broadcasts on BlogTV.com every Thursday night at 7pm Eastern.

In real life, Buck lives in New England and enjoys going to Broadway shows, Diet Dr. Pepper, whitening his teeth (waiting for Crest White Strips to call!) and hanging out with his five small dogs. Michael was a very strange child who grew up to be a very strange adult. He had a subscription to TV Guide at the age of five and was devastated to find out that Julie and Barbara were not really sisters on One Day at a Time. His early years were spent acting like Batman or Wonder Woman (on a good day) and he also liked pretending to be all three Charlie Angles!

Michael Hyatt On The Future Of Publishing & Publishers

Click Here If You Prefer Audio OnlyClick Here If You Prefer Audio Only

Today’s guest just oozes a passion for publishing. In fact, he has made an incredible career out of it – going all the way back to the days when he was a student at Baylor University a few decades ago. Fast-forward to now and Michael Hyatt is the CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, an avid blogger, husband, and father to five daughters (Note: That is a lot of daughters).

I invited Michael onto The Rise To The Top for a few reasons. One was to talk about his thoughts on publishing, how it has changed and where it is going (including the role of the publisher). Secondly, to offer some advice for aspiring authors and writers. And lastly, to tell a bit of his story about how he literally rose to the top of the publishing industry.

Enjoy the interview and, as always, looking forward to your thoughts.

From Facebook Group To Million-Dollar-Plus Company: How Peter Shankman Built HARO


Click Here If You Prefer Audio Only

Peter ShankmanThis is it for 2010! Lucky episode #155 and the final episode of 2010. And you know darn well that the year should be ended in style. And that is why I’m SUPER excited to bring you today’s episode with the Founder of Help A Reporter Out, aka HARO, Peter Shankman. Peter is a good friend of mine and an amazing entrepreneur with an incredible story that I’m excited to share with you.

A couple funny things about this interview:

#1: Peter was the FIRST person I tried to interview on Skype before the technology was “great” over a year ago. I was super excited. We taped it…and then realized we only taped him and not me. So thank you world for evolving in technology so it didn’t happen again.

#2: Peter is one of the first marketing stories in my book, Smarter, Faster, Cheaper. I realized “whoops I forgot to get him on the show to tell the story”, panicked, emailed him, and now he is on. Hah!

Back to the task at hand. HARO is an incredible story. It went from 0 – $1,000,000+ in revenue in a hurry and recently sold (although Peter remains heavily involved). In this behind-the-scenes interview, Peter dishes on everything, including:

  • How HARO got started and evolved.
  • How Peter formed great relationships with journalists.
  • Why it is much more than “overnight success”.
  • Keys to marketing and promoting HARO.
  • How HARO generates revenue and how Peter landed the first sponsor (and how he priced it).
  • Nice guy syndrome: How Peter avoids being taken advantage of by being so nice, outgoing, and accessible.
  • Why Peter sold HARO recently (interesting story here).
  • …and much more.

Enjoy! And as usual, feel free to chime in with your thoughts, comments, questions, and more.

I don’t know about you, but I definitely don’t have a crystal ball (none of us REALLY do). But if there was someone to predict the future of technology, I would bet Kevin Kelly has some amazing insights (spoiler alert: he does).

Kevin KellyKevin is the author of What Technology Wants (Amazon link) and is an incredible leader in the technology space (check out his bio right here) and one of the original Co-Founders of Wired Magazine where he was the Senior Maverick/Executive Editor until 1999. He is also the author of one of my personal favorite articles of all time, 1,000 True Fans (read it, enjoy it, tattoo it on yourself).

I was lucky enough to steal a bit of Kevin’s time to have a chat on RISE. In this interview, we discuss all kinds of topics ranging from geeky to marketing, and dive into big topics that you will find interesting – ranging from the future of technology to an inside look at 1,000 True Fans.
