Interviewed on The Importance of Speaking in Public for Marketers

Category:Interview Tags : 

A few months ago I was interviewed for the Sitevisibility Podcast on the topic of Public Speaking. We talked about why it is important for marketers to be public speakers as well and how to approach this.

You can listen to the interview below, download the mp3, go to the Sitevisibility website or listen on iTunes. Do let me know what you think of it, it’s one of the reasons I started Speak with Persuasion!

Being interviewed on Nathalie Nahai’s Podcast and on WebcertainTV

Category:Interview Tags : 

This week I was suddenly ‘everywhere’. Not only did I do my ‘regular’ things, like writing for State of Digital (a special one this time, with a post that was primarily sent via e-mail and later published on LinkedIn), I was also featured in two different interviews.

First there was the interview I did with Nathalie Nahai. Nathalie is known as “The Web Psychologist”. And for a good reason. Nathalie looks at what triggers people online. How do they behave, what do they want. A topic I am very interested in.

Nathalie does this in many different ways, she wrote a great book (which I talked to her about here), she’s a very successful keynote speaker and is very well respected in the industry. And she has a podcast, called The Good, The Bad & The Dirty – The Secret Psychology of Persuasion!

As you can imagine I was very proud that I could be in her podcast. We talked about all sorts of stuff related to audience, understanding and marketing behavior around that. You know, the stuff I talk about a lot ☺.

You can listen to the podcast here, but if I were you, I would subscribe to Nathalie’s podcast using your favorite player (iTunes, Stitcher or my personal favorite on Android, Pocketcasts) and also listen to the other guests she has had on her show!

Also, I think Nathalie has one of the best voices and English accents out there, she’s just great to listen to!

Later this week I was also featured in a video interview! The lovely Gemma Birch from Webcertain had interviewed me after SMX London for their show Webcertain TV.

In quite a rapid pace they’ve created many great videos, news, educational and interviews, around Digital Marketing. It’s a great resource to find very relevant information. Especially if you like consuming video content!

I must say, I hate looking at myself (and I believe the camera isn’t nice to me 😉 ), but this talk is also worth listening to. We chatted about different audiences and how content should nurture, not necessarily sell.

See that interview here!

Let me know your thoughts and ideas!

I was on Lunchbreak with Mike King (@iPullRank)

Category:Interview Tags : 

A few months ago I was in New York for SES New York 2013. While there I visited the iAcquire offices to visit Mike King. He asked me to be on his weekly ‘lunchbreak’. You can watch the video here, where Mike interviews me and I shine a little bit of light into the things I’m working on at the moment.

I Got Interviewed With a Lot of Questions

Category:Interview

I get interviewed more often these days, especially around conferences I speak at. Usually the questions then are about the talk I will be doing. In other occasions I get interviewed because there is a certain ‘hot topic’ on which they want my opinion.

I am usually always happy to do this. After all, it is somewhat of a recognition of what you do: they want your opinion. Which is a nice thing. And as a publisher myself who has also done a lot of interviews with others I understand how interesting it can be for website owners.

It is fun to see how I’ve gone from being the interviewer (mind you: I still do that a lot) to being the one interviewed.

Last week I was interviewed again. This time however it wasn’t related to a conference or a ‘hot topic’, but it was about me. The people over at kahenadigital.com are interviewing several different people in the industry. Including me. And they asked me many questions, some of them not even search related. But it was  a nice interview, different. And that’s why I wanted to highlight it here!
