  • A Tribute to the Life and Career of James Martell
    A Message From WebMasterRadio.FM:
    On September 27th, we here at WebmasterRadio.FM lost one of our show hosts, James Martell, who died tragically due to a brain aneurysm. He had hosted the Affiliate Buzz program since 2010, accompanied by his wife and co-host Arlene. James had been widely recognized as a pillar in the affiliate marketing industry for well over a decade.
    His wife Arlene and Kimberly Juchnowski pay tribute to his life and career in what will be the final broadcast of the Affiliate Buzz. We listen to messages of tribute from his friends and peers and some choice clips from previous episodes.
    WebmasterRadio.FM and all of those associated with the Affiliate Buzz would like to thank you for your support and listenership of this program throughout the years. Thank you for being a part.
    A Message From Arlene
    How do you say goodbye and fit 39 years of loving someone into a short letter of appreciation? I know James would want me to truly live a joyful life, so I will remember all the good times we had together, and when I am sad, remember that I have many amazing memories, and many friends and family to support me.
    James and I met in 1979 when we both worked at Venus pizza in Surrey. When I saw him, I said “That’s the guy I am going to marry”. He didn’t stand a chance after that. We were 17 and 18 years old and got to go to high school graduation together.
    He likes to joke that when he met me, I had my own apartment, a brand new Honda Civic, I could get into the liquor store and I had $5000 in the bank. What’s not to love?  Joking aside, we didn’t know then, the many adventures we would share together, and the amazing children and grand children that we would become the center of our lives. On September 1st, 1984 we got married and just celebrated 34 years of marriage together.
    Then came the babies! It was always my dream to have a big family and we were so excited when Adam was born in 1987, then Justin in 1988, Shelby in 1990, and Victoria in 1995. We had two pregnancies that ended in miscarriage, and I will bet you that James is up there holding those babies and bragging that he got to meet them first.
    James was a journeyman carpenter in the early days, and the kids fondly remember taking him his lunch when he worked close by. James just loved the kids and even though we didn’t have a lot of money, we had a lot of fun.

    Parenting brought on a whole new challenge when Adam developed a severe seizure disorder when he was 4. Boy did we ever have to learn patience and compassion! James started to work from home trying to make a living on the internet. We have had some crazy businesses and learned to ride the wave of online marketing. A lot of highs and many lows, but we always supported each other and pushed through the hard times.
    In business, James was absolutely brilliant, and could figure out what was trending long before it happened. Before long, he was a super star online, coaching thousands of people on how to make money, writing numerous books, creating amazing courses and speaking at seminars all over the world.
    James and I hosted “The affiliate buzz” podcast which was the longest running podcast in the industry where we recently recorded the 512th episode. I am still shocked at the hundreds of messaged I am getting expressing people’s appreciation for all James has done for them. I put just a sample on the wall.
    People were naturally drawn to James, because he was very honest and when he worked with you, you were the most important person. He shared all his secrets, gave his time generously and was always pushing other people to succeed and not give up on their dreams.
    Speaking of dreams, when James was 42, he put his dream car in the garage. It was of course that Shelby Cobra. If you look at the photo album on the memory table, you will see that he actually threw an elaborate party at a golf and country club when that ...

    Voice search is something the millennials have mastered! In the past, we tried many different things to get high search engine rankings, but then came mobile - which lit a fuse overnight! Now everyone has a cell phone and mobile devices are now getting smarter and people are using them to speak their questions.
    Is Voice Search the Future of SEO?
    Now we can use our cell phones to "voice a question" (among other things), but how does this affect the consumer? Duane talks about speaking to Google and Amazon and how they are heavily investing in bringing us new technology. He talks about how these devices can have a personal reaction with you which is endearing to humans, but the data side is most important.
    Now Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple, are racing to backfill all of the information that people might be looking for to make sure they have the right answers. He talks about "how to ask" questions and how these devices can remember the topic of discussion.
    How Website Owners Can take Advantage of Voice
    Voice search is SO convenient, rather than typing your questions into your phone. From an SEO perspective, Duane explains exactly what you need to be aware of in voice search and what factors come into play. You need to be aware of what you are feeding into the system, and does it give everything you need to answer that question. They talk about the customer journey, so make sure you have the answer that is correctly formatted to be spoken out loud.
    Duane talks about the #1 strategy for managing the entire footprint of information that is available from your business to a consumer. So you need to manage your information so it is available to the consumer when they want it.
    Featured and Rich Snippets
    If someone asks a question, you want your results to show up. Duane discusses what he recommends for anyone getting started with Rich Snippets. He explains where 80% of the spoken answers from Google are taken directly from the featured snippet. He talks about the "trust signals" the search engines "pull out" in order to use and verify they should be spoken out loud.
    Voice Search Nuts and Bolts
    Duane talks about how to find clues on where to find data that voice search might use. Understanding the phrases that are converting, allows you to be that snippet that gets voiced when someone is looking for that product or service. He talks about cataloging questions and answers and how to brand yourself through trust to show up first. He also talks in detail more about how to optimize your featured snippets and what people fail on most often.

  • AB #509 | How to Quickly Scale Your Business to Profitability with a Virtual Team
    In the episode of the Affiliate Buzz, James and Arlene Martell talk about "how to scale your business to profitability with a virtual team." This is a topic that comes up again and again because if you are going to take the time to build an affiliate business, you want to make sure your time and money are managed well.
    If you find yourself thinking:

    * You are just getting started and hiring a virtual team is too early
    * Your business is growing nicely, but time to accelerate it
    * Maybe you are a veteran, things are going well but you are super busy and need some help

    ... then having an on-demand freelance team available to you may be what you need to accerate your growth, get more done and allow you to focus on more important business tasks, or having more time with family and friends.
    In any business, sometimes you just don't feel like working because the weather is hot, there are things going on in your life that are keeping you busy, so having a team in place keeps you productive and profitable.
    How to Find a Virtual Team
    We initially hired our team at Upwork, and yes in some cases, we did have to try out several freelancers to find the right ones, but now that we have our team in place, we use them over and over again, and don't have to waste time posting projects. We now have a solid team, and they are on-demand when we need them.
    The Essentials to Make it all Work
    The magic of Basecamp (or activecollab) - our project management system that makes it all work like a fine tuned car. Listen to find out how we invite the team to complete the projects we need done, and how the communication flows to keep everyone on track, organized and in the loop. We have completely eliminated email and never have trouble finding the files we need.
    Why You Need a Team
    Trying to do it all yourself, especially if you do not have the expertise is frustrating and time consuming. A team helps you execute the plan quicker, which gets you to profitability faster. All pay by the hour projects are tracked and it is easy to see what is being done or you can also pay a flat fee per project. Find out how much we pay freelancers and how we pay them as well and keep costs within budget.
    "Do what you do best, and outsource the rest".
    Want to really feel good about your business? Whether you are just getting started, or been around for awhile, you will need a writer, a graphics designer and a Virtual assistant to get started. These people have made our lives more efficient with much less stress. The goal is that 5 years from now, this team will still be working with you!
    Listen to learn:

    * How to scale your business to profitability with a team
    * How a virtual team saves you time and money
    * Where to find a virtual team and which ones to hire
