Nice blog post. I first got wind of cliff when I was thinking of setting up a Podcast for my own blog which is coming soon. I listened to an interview Cliff did with Pat from Smart Passive Income. What really comes across is how genuine and trustworthy Cliff is. There is nothing pushy at all about his approach. Im glad some like Cliff has a platform to reach the world, I live in Ireland for gods sake.

That’s true for me. I don’t buy much at all unless what i’m buying move me toward my goals and my definite purpose. Great point Kent!

As an “IMr” I guess. I prefer to only “sell” to people who “absolutely need” what I have to offer to help them achieve their goals and move them the closer toward their definite purpose.

I don’t know beans about podcasting – but I will check it out. The problem with 98% of IM’rs (this includes me) – we’re on wayyyy too many lists; we’re unfocused; we treat this as a casual hobby, something akin to FB. This sets up the perfect storm for us to be continual buyers and seldom sellers/marketers. Those succeeding like Cliff are 100% focused on the sales end, and probably pay little heed to buying unless they absolutely need something to allow themselves to sell more.

I’d be honored to come on your show, as a guest, to talk about that. Just email me at Cliff@Ravenscraft.org whenever you want to schedule it.

Cliff, it was my pleasure. You blew me away, and your business model is an excellent example to follow. I would really like to get you on the podcast sometime to talk about how your passion has influenced your business decisions, and how your focus on people has contributed to your success.

Thanks again!
Mark

I wonder if you will still say that after listening to the last 30 minutes of the extremely too long Podcast Answer Man episode 197. I totally derailed in a 30 minute rant.

Of course, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to top Podcast Answer Man episode 198 that will be released this coming Thursday. it’s already recorded and it includes the 3rd most harsh, overly critical, extremely negative piece of audio feedback that I’ve received in 5 and half years of podcasting.

No doubt. Cliff is the kind of guy that I want to be more like. He is a model to be followed.

Thank you so much for the very kind post about my services and business model. I wish that I could tell you that I had planned this out as a well executed plan from the beginning. However, I’ve built all this stuff out of a demand for each of the items that you mentioned.

If I had any advice to people out there. FOCUS! Focus on a niche field when it comes to your brand. Everything I do at PodcastAnswerMan.com and gspn.tv is 100% tied into each other. I know how to design a WordPress website for a small business. However, I never build a website for a client who has not hired me to set up their PODCAST.

Podcasting is “my thing” and every week, I refuse work that people know I “can do” if it’s not related to my main focus. Things are changing all the time and because of my focus, I can always stay UP TO DATE on developments in my field. It takes time, but with focus, you can become that “go to person” for your niche field if people know you are intensely focused on it.

He’s a guy who helps THOUSANDS of people every day through his work. Nice write up. Thanks for supporting him. You nailed it when you said, “When I bought the gear, I was so pleased with the free advice that I had gotten from Cliff that I made sure that I bought the gear either directly through Cliff or through his affiliate link. Pure reciprocity.” Cliff has a major from the school of real life in Reciprocity.
