Apple just surpassed 1 billion subscriptions for podcasts via its iTunes app! Podcasting is back and taking the world by storm. Maybe you already host a podcast? Maybe you would like to have your own podcast? Some do it for fun, others for business. Podcasting as a Marketing Tool?  How does a podcast work? Can I get one of my own? Tune in as these, and many more questions will be answered by my guest this week, my good friend, Carol McManus.

Carol McManus is a self-described recovering corporate executive who left that world in 2007 to start her own business. She grew it quickly with a very limited marketing budget but through the creative and diligent use of social media. Today, she is one of the most sought-after speakers and consultants for businesses and entrepreneurs who aspire to grow their business by using this digital medium as a way to stay in touch with and attract new clients.

Martha Giffen

Did you say you wanted more Social Media Strategy? Well okay then. Who am I to deny you? This week on ACT LOCAL Marketing, meet Martha Giffen.

Martha Giffen is the CEO of Best Kind Marketing.  She is a Social Media strategist, Business success coach, and author of the Amazon best-seller “Be Social Be Rich.” A former stay-at-home Mom, Martha watched her husband build a lucrative business from the ground up, which fueled the flame in her own heart to become an entrepreneur. With a desire to work from home and be her own “boss,” she jumped right in and never looked back! The rest, as they say, is history!

She has built a highly profitable online business using social networking to connect with “one person at a time.” She has co-authored several best-selling books, produced social media training programs, created motivational audios, and is an engaging and entertaining speaker. A favorite blogger with a large following, Martha dishes out plenty of southern charm as she helps other entrepreneurs build their own profitable online businesses using the backdrop of her own real-life experiences and amazing results to help others achieve their own success.
