    Episode 19 - Automation and how it can help you

    I recently had a number of dominos fall - and that's always bound to happen if you aren't using any platform(s) to help with automation. It can even happen when using some! Some of the platforms I have used, or am putting in place, can help with a number of routine tasks that need to be done. It can take quite a bit of time to set some of these up initially, and some maintenance along the way, it's commonplace to free up quite a bit of time long term. Here are a few options below: MailerLite https://www.mailerlite.com/ is an email management platform that allows 1 - 1,000 subscribers and send out 12,000 emails per month for free - and the paid options slowly increase as the audience increases. You can set up forms to collect email addresses and landing pages for websites as well. I've set up and tested a few forms already and expect to use the platform much more going forward. Calendly https://calendly.com is one of many appointment scheduling platforms. It has helped me to be more accessible to clients, and I've used it for scheduling almost every guest on this podcast as well. I've finally hit the point where I need a paid account - but you may be able to operate for quite some time on the free account - which I used for nearly a year before upgrading to a paid version. calendly.com While I formerly recommended, and enjoyed, using Hootsuite's platform - many changes have been made in the past few years that limited my access as a legacy 'Pro' user and they recently announced a cost increase that won't allow me to continue using their platform. I'll be looking for a new social media management and scheduling platform and expect to share what I find.

    Ep 12 - An Interview with Andrew Lander and his unique entry into voice work

    I could write a short bio about Andrew - but I'll let him tell his own story with a message he sent me: "Unlike most in the industry, I started without any acting experience. Instead of the stage, I was pushed by my parents to be behind the podium. Getting accustomed to public speaking at an early age lead me to a career in marketing where I was able to speak to and on behalf of companies -- including my own short-lived digital marketing consultancy, LocalLander. All of this experience combined with discovering voice over on a random blog catapulted me into a passion that has lead to six agencies and making a profit on my investment after only the first year. The kicker, is that 2021 will be year number...2! I'd love to be able to share my unique experience with your audience as someone who can prove that it's not all theater and radio folks out there who can succeed in VO... Respectfully, Andrew Lander Business Casual Voice Overs" Find Andrew Lander: https://andrewlandervo.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewlander/ https://twitter.com/andrewlander Find AnyVoices online...
