Something that I’ve always found a little challenging when it comes to the marketing of my business is finding the stories that make what we do compelling. I can be rather a literal person.

I know what we do is valuable and our clients appreciate it — but as my business partner, and today’s guest is always saying: people connect with stories, and you need to create one that draws people in.

One of the ways to do this the most quickly and that sees the highest rates of conversion is by sharing video content for your business and your podcast.

Dan Bennet, the creator of Video For Entrepreneurs, has over 15 years in the video production industry and worked with brands like Harley Davidson and Bud Light before forming his company to help entrepreneurs with businesses of all sizes look and feel great on camera.

He is joining me today to talk about video and I know I’m not the only person who tends to shy away from it. Dan tells us how to be camera ready, explains his methodology of video content strategy and answers the question: is it really okay to share talking head zoom videos of your podcast?

We are gearing up over here at One Stone Creative for the launch of my new book, Podcasting for Business — how to create a show that makes a bottom line difference for your company.

The official launch date is on September 10th, just a couple of weeks away. And if you decide between now and then that you'd like to pre-order a copy, then I would be thrilled to give you a completely free ticket to this year's Podcasting for Business Conference.

The book is comprehensive. My spouse called it both amusing and exhaustive. It covers:

• the Business Podcast Blueprints
• how to use Podcast Value Math to measure the right things for your business
• how to choose a goal that's actually going to make an impact

Then we go into 15 specific business outcomes that we call the metrics that you can optimize a show for to start seeing those results in your business.

I'm very proud of it, and I think you will get a lot out of it. So, if you would like to pre-order that, you can do so here. If you do so, you will get my undying gratitude and the free ticket to the Podcasting for Business conference, which is going to be a great event this year.

There are products and services that don't require a lot of thought before you buy them — commodities, like toothpaste, shoes, calculators, peaches.

But there are others that require a lot of education before someone has enough understanding to be able to make an informed decision about what exactly the product is and how it might be able to help them if they should choose to buy it.

Now, a podcast can do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to filling that gap and providing the education and the understanding required for someone to make a buying decision, and it can make tons of other areas of your sales and delivery process a lot easier.

Today, I've got a deep dive into a podcast process and optimization strategy for you with Deniero Bartolini, host of The Remote CEO show podcast. He's a digital entrepreneur, bestselling author and founder of Remote CEO, a company that helps professional firms scale with remote teams.

Deniero has been podcasting for almost a decade and a half and is incredibly generous with his insights into the different ways that you can leverage a podcast in a business, from providing that critical early information and education to potential clients of high ticket offers, to building trust with new and old clients of any kind of product and increasing your revenue, which is not always easy as a direct line through podcasting, but he's got some great examples and in case studies of exactly how he has helped clients do that.
