Dear Friend,

My name is Leesa Barnes and in 2005, no one really knew who I was. I struggled to get speaking gigs. I earned only $1500 a month and I couldn't figure out how to move beyond this - let alone make six figures.

Three years later, I have achieved many things, in particular:

• I was the only coach named by Canada's Word of Mouth Expert as one of the Top 50 Media & Marketing Bloggers in Canada.
  
  
• Because of my podcast, a publisher contacted me to write Podcasting for Profit. I didn't shop around a book proposal, nor did I work with a literary agent.
  
  
• I organized the first Social Media Telesummit, attracting 26 well known speakers, including Andy Wibbels, Paul Colligan, The Blog Squad, Jody Colvard, Krishna De and Yaro Starak to speak about social media over 8 days.
  
  
• My podcast has helped me maintain a #1 ranking in Google for the search term podcasting expert which has resulted in speaking engagements and interviews that practically fall into my lap.
  
  
• I close deals faster because of podcasting. I build relationships with prospects who visit my blog, listen to my podcast and network with me online. This means that when they're ready to buy, they come to me.
  
  
• I've been called a "Podcasting Queen" (Suzanne Falter-Barns), "Ms. Podacious" (Lia Allen & Milana Leshinsky), the "First Lady of Podcasting" (John C. Havens) and a "Podcasting Extraordinaire" (Globe & Mail technology columnist, Mathew Ingram) all because of my blog and podcast.

• An owner of a public relations firm uses a podcast to share contents from his self-published book. A year later, he wins a $10,000 book award and has both a literary agent and publisher contact him to re-publish his book.
  
  
• An investor relations company uses an audio and video podcast to increase visibility and decrease cold calling. Their sales team now has more time to drum up new business through their existing client base.
  
  
• A senior executive at an advertising agency is listed #1 in iTunes for his podcast. He's invited to speak at many events and paid thousands of dollars because he's seen as an innovator in his field.
  
  
• A relationship coach, who's afraid of technology, uses both a podcast to generate thousands of dollars in extra income, giving her more free time to spend with her two school aged sons.
  
  

• The #1 way to produce a profitable podcast that meets the demands of a hungry audience
  
  
• The three ways to make money with a podcast that doesn't include advertising or sponsorship
  
  
• What Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble can teach you about why people consume a podcast
  
  
• How to easily convert your podcast into multiple streams of income
  
  
• Learn why most podcasts don't make money and how you can ensure your podcast isn't another financial failure
  
  
• How you can use what Oprah's using to stand out and build an audience of raving fans
