Customer Reviews
Most helpful marketing podcast I’ve found
I so appreciate the actionable tips and supportive vibe that makes marketing feel doable for ordinary - often introverted! - authors. Lots of free tips and resources generously offered, and I love the focus on how to connect with and bless our readers as the priority, making genuine connections rather than big bucks fast. Thank you!
On the fence.
I love Mixtus Media. The info available on their website has helped me so much. That said…I don’t feel that this podcast really adds much. Episodes are extremely short and info is light. I almost feel like the podcast is being used to force people to the website by giving them a taste, rather than supplementing it. I’ll continue to listen, but I wish the content was a bit meatier.
Often the exact question I have
Bite-size information that is actionable and accessible. Thank you. Often the next question is the one I have in my head. Well done. Appreciate your time and expertise.
