I wanted to share with you the secret to getting your avatar or image posted on blog posts when you comment. I have noticed a few of you post on my blog and I cannot see your wonderful avatar.

For the past 4 years, Monday thru Friday I have produced a 15 minute CoachCast and an 8 page work book called the Compass. As I am writing this, I am on number 1428. That means if you started at number 1 and listened to every CoachCast you would have to listen to 15 straight 24 hour days to get the content from the podcast I have put out there.  That does not include the 8 page workbook. That would be 11,400 pages you would have to read. That is around 38 books I have produced.

If you started listening to the first MorningCoach.com CoachCast and listened 24 hours a day you would have to listen to 15 straight days to get all the content that I have put out there.

The question then is, “How do I produce so much content?”

The answer lies in the fact that I love what I do. I have a passion for helping people live their dreams. That pushed me to get traditional education and nontraditional education which has been the basis for a lot of my content. I also try to read 3 books a week which adds to my knowledge base. This knowledge base is what I draw on to create content. I would suggest you build your knowledge any way you can. Be a learner and continuing learning. A lot of content can be created from the education you have received.

The next critical idea to get you going is to create content about things that are happening in your life. It is amazing how much content can be created if you just discuss the challenges you have. My entire MorningCoach.com experience has been about my growth. I have learned more about myself by putting myself out there. I have shared my challenges and have learned day by day right along with the MorningCoach.com family. Create the content as if you where going to teach it to someone else and it is amazing how much that will cement the learning, and you will help others. An example would be if you are having financial issues research as if you where going to teach others how to deal with there financial issues. You get a double win by getting the knowledge for yourself and creating content at the same time.

One more way that I like to look for content ideas is with Twitter trending topics. I like to look to see what the masses are discussing. This is a good place to get ideas and thoughts on current events. This is updated in real time so you can always find something that a lot of people are interested by looking here.

To create great content the three tips are:

1. Get education, both traditional and nontraditional and pull from that experience. Having passion for what you is critical.
2. Create content based on things you are dealing with. Focus on learning to teach, as this promotes true learning.
3. Use tools such as Twitter trending topics to find creative ideas.

I hope you will take the time to comment below on some of the ideas you use to create content. I would love to hear some of your ideas and suggestions. Content is king, and creating it will make you king. Get your content out there!

I am finally getting to rebuilding the Glossinger.com site. I always hate when a site goes down, so I just wanted to make you aware of it. As you can see there are a lot of changes coming to help you create the lifestyle that you are looking for. Technology is always changing and I am always working to learn more and get better. I know this new platform will be very helpful to you.

It is all about 1% improvement daily.

The current areas that I am working on to help you better your life are.

I videoed the recording of episode 1385 for MorningCoach.com today. I wanted to show my listeners the way that it is done, and also show the group that follow me, from the internet marketing perspective. The video is at the bottom of the page.

As you can see from the video, I have gone away from the studio using all the sound proofing to this small Apogee Mic microphone. It does an amazing job. The clarity rocks like my more expensive microphones. I can also use it with my MacBook Air instead of putting everything through my Mac Pro. This gives me massive flexibility.

 When I started podcasting 4 years ago there where many barriers to entry. Technology has erased many of these barriers to entry. This allows almost anyone with a computer to get into podcasting.

When I started podcasting 4 years ago there where many barriers to entry. Technology has erased many of these barriers to entry. This allows almost anyone with a computer to get into podcasting. I think many people have fear of the microphone. You just need to have a plan and have some fun. With this current technology, like the Apogee Mic and the MacBook Air with GarageBand you are ready to go.
