People are always asking me, “what is the fastest way to create content?”

It should be of no surprised to many that I love to create content with little more than a microphone and a mouth.

I recently moved my phone service from AT&T to T-Mobile. You can track my progress here.

Why am I leaving AT&T? Is T-Mobile that much better? I actually cover my reasons in the latest episode of Ask Paul Colligan.

What Is The Big Deal About The T-Mobile Simple Choice Plan?

Still doing some testing for my new Podcast. Different microphone here, but the content is solid.

I’m trying out a new microphone, so I thought I’d record a quick episode of Ask Paul Colligan. In this episode I answer the age old question, “Should I Enroll My Kindle Book In The Amazon KDP Select Program.”

About message fatigue

Yes, I had a great time in New York this week. Watching Dave Letterman interview Lady Gaga was a highlight – as was experiencing Spiderman Turn Off The Dark (the reboot) – but this piece is about BlogWorld.

What did I learn? Here are the top 5 themes:

Apple’s App Store is worth all the hassle. As I wait patiently for my latest app to pass through the store, I tried to get the Apps Panel to complain about the Apple approval process. All of them had every reason to complain but, in the end, admitted that Apple’s quality control is what makes the store so awesome.

You have to match your market to message. The closing keynote event had plenty of problems but the biggest one was this – the market to message wasn’t clear at all. I’ll be working with the team to make sure we do better in November.

YouTube remains huge. Julie Perry’s YouTube session was one of the top attended sessions and I heard more about it than all the other sessions combined. I’m proud to announce now that in November, we’re going to dedicate an entire track to YouTube. Awesome.

Podcasting is quietly maturing. The HowStuffWorks Podcast presentation was one of my favorite. The hosts are doing it right, Discovery is doing it right, it’s happening at the right time. If you had any questions about Podcasting as a format, they would have gone away had you attended that session.

I have a ton of work to get ready for the November event. I have a TON of notes and thoughts about the November L.A. event and can’t wait to get to work on it. The L.A./Hollywood proximity (combined with a lot of Podcasters who just won’t forget the Ontario days) will bring a pretty exciting focus that our industry needs.

Dave and Rick, thanks again.

I’m taking a 3 day weekend – but I wanted to round things up!

  • My buddy Paul Lemberg outdid himself with his new Blueprints to Profits program. If you have a business, and you’re looking to better with it, this is the program for you. You bet it’s an affiliate link.
  • Yes, I’ll be attending BlogWorld this year. The official NMIC/Podcast Secrets Meetup (place TBA) will be Wednesday night and the (now SIXTH annual) Profitable Podcasters Meetup will be, yet again, Friday morning for the truly committed. BTW, don’t know where to have that what with the new location for Blogworld. If you have a thought on that issue, post it at a thread at Facebook I have on this one.
  • Rob from Podcast 411 was the first place I heard about the Blackberry Podcast integration story. Is it that big of a deal – or have all the Blackberry folk interested in Podcasts already figured out how to make it happen? I’d love your thoughts below.
  • I can’t tell you how much I love the Camera+ app for my iPhone but the cynic in me thinks the recent controversy is a great way to spike sales when the bad boy comes back up for purchase. Your thoughts?

Have a great (possibly 3-day) weekend!
