Thank you Barrett, I really enjoyed this episode for my own Internet marketing knowledge and toolkit, especially the idea of finding trends in your industry, making a survey, publishing it, having an event, and getting leads and others in the industry to notice and engage with you. Extremely valuable!
So this Pod to the People event was a lot of fun for me – and I’m glad there are other podcasters out here in Hong Kong in various industries and categories. Thanks to Travis Jones for putting it together and hope to have them on a regular basis.
Til next week!
