Yesterday I had the great pleasure to interview Paul Bailey and Gina Baksa from www.ActionPodcast.com, about the huge impact that blogging and podcasting has had on their coaching careers.
www.ActionPodcast.com
Paul and Gina are two of a group of four life coaches that regularly contribute to the blog and podcast at ActionPodcast.com. Although they only started their new podcast in December 2008, they've just celebrated their 5000th download this week, some four months or so later. Furthermore, their audience is actually growing at the fantastic rate of 100% every 2/3 weeks!
During our interview they revealed just how the use of technology has helped transform their businesses as coaches, both in the way they are able to attract new clients, as well as actually carry out their coaching sessions in a relxed and flexible way – to the benefit of both coach and client.
Paul also shares some great tips for any coach who is interested in starting either their own blog or podcast, and Gina talks about how easy it was for someone with a non-technical background to be able to publish her own articles on her blog site – all absolutely free!
Towards the end of the call Gina and Paul actually reveal how blogging and podcasting has changed their perspective on many things, even going so far as to say that the experience has 'changed their lives'.
If you'd like to learn more about Paul and Gina's experiences, this podcast episode contains the full 30-minute interview with them both – so enjoy!

Thanks to my brand new Flip Mino HD video camera this brief clip was filmed on location in London yesterday, while I was attending an event for 30+ internet marketers interested in building their business both online and offline.
I manage pretty-well to resist gadgets that aren't genuinely useful, but this is one tool that has already become essential for my need to create and share easy-to-produce, valuable content for this blog and elsewhere.
If you're a coach or consultant then just think how this could apply to you. You could interview other people, or get other people to interview you about your subject of expertise, ready to share with the world and immediately increase your perceived authority and status.
The software that comes with the camera makes it incredibly easy to both edit and add captions to your movie, then upload it instantly to YouTube.
Embed the video onto your blog and there you have it. High, quality engaging content that will only help build trust and rapport with your audience.
So, coaches everywhere… what are you waiting for?
