Podcast Secrets Challenge 2007 – Final Results Are In

by Paul Colligan on July 6, 2007

What a thrill to have taught Podcast Secrets this year. I can’t tell you how proud I am of our students. Alex and I just got off the phone with out top vote getters. It is now time to share the results with the world.

Our Newbie Top Vote Getter Runner Up is Dr. Andrew Colyer and his Sound Healing Experts Live Podcast. Although he has just one episode out at this point, his peers are impressed with what he’s done (as are his teachers) and we all expect to see more great things from him.

Our Veteran Top Vote Getting Runner Up is Sabrina Braham of Women’s Leadership Success. I’m thrilled with her results for many reasons – from the level of the content to the clear integration of our monetization models. She’s a rising star.

Our Newbie Top Vote Getter is Carolyn Ellis of the Divorce 101 Show. The site is gorgeous, the content first rate and the integration with her existing business should be an inspiration to anyone wondering how to integrate Podcasting with what “they’re already doing.”

Our Veteran Top Vote Getter is Heidi Nabert of Boo Boo Gone. This extremely important topic is matched with a Podcast that shows that a Podcaster can improve over time to produce a Podcast so much more than “some mp3 files online.”

Congratulations you four. We couldn’t be more thrilled.

To all of our finalists, it was a blast to have run this contest. Alex and I learned a number of things from all of you.

To all of our students, thank you for going through this with us. As you know, a Podcast Secrets student is an alumni for life and when you see what we have in place for 2008 …

  • WOW!! You know what the awesome thing about the contest is? 3 out of 4 winners were WOMEN!!! I wasn't able to hear the final podcast challenge call, but I listened to some of these women during class ask a lot of great questions and you could tell they were working really hard toward a goal. I am SO GLAD to see that women aren't being left behind in this technology, because most of my friends have no idea what I'm talking about, and can't fathom why I was interested in taking the Podcast Secrets class.
    CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners! You're very inspiring!

  • To ALL Podcast Secrets Students

    I want to extend my Heartfelt thanks to all of you for granting me the honor of being top vote getter in the Veteran Category.

    I am truly grateful for this tremendous opportunity and I welcome the responsibility and challenges ahead – in fact your vote has given me the confidence that I am on the right track and I am now even more determined to build a large audience.

    Honestly, I was very concerned that the topic I chose would be too controversial, yet to my surprise everyone I have spoken with has been extremely supportive podcast.

    I recently attended an internet marketing workshop in Denver and every attendee that I spoke with about promoting the Boo Boo Gone podcast to their list agreed to do so. It confirms that we all care about our children and will go the extra mile for them.

    I want to share the two (2) quotes that inspired me to move forward with the topic of this Podcast....

    Margaret Mead's (1901-1978) Quote:
    A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) Quote:
    To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.

    (....updating this quote....makes cowards out of all of us...)

    Thank you all again
