Episode Transcript

BobWP:
Well, just when you thought there couldn’t be any more shows happening again, and this time around, back to having myself, BobWP, me as a host, the whole thing occurred to me when I was thinking of, well, what expertise do I have that I can share with everyone? My hosts all have great expertise in the shows they do. So figured that 15 years of my 18 years of WordPress life has been dedicated to creating content. And prior to that, even in the years of our marketing business, well, it was a different time, but yes, content played a big role in it. So what can you expect from content Sparks? Well, for myself, probably quite a bit about podcasting, giving you insights behind the scenes here at Do The Woo, and of course, talking about other things, and also talking about other media such as blogging, video, maybe even some social, who knows where We’ll go now, I’ll do some of the shows myself, when other times I’ll have a host from our team join me, even be adding a new host.

In other words, we won’t necessarily have guests on this show. This will be more focused on sharing the expertise of myself and my team here at Do The Woo. When it comes to content creation, there is a plethora of tips and insights that myself and our hosting team can bring to you. Now, you may be asking yourself why this show on Do the Woo, why don’t I do that over on my blog, BobWP.com? And well, I didn’t want to start another separate podcast. And in many ways, when you really think about it, it should be obvious because our listeners build product sites and run businesses that well. They need to create content by sharing our own experiences, some good, some bad, and even some tips. We are hoping we can help you along that content journey. Plus, as I said, an inside look, how we manage content here at Do the Woo. When my plans are doing this every Friday, I won’t commit to every Friday, but as often as I can. Some of them may be very short tips, and other times conversation may run more around 30 minutes or so. And yes, after this initial introduction, we will do video, although I’ve been told I have a face for radio. But that’s it. And if all goes well, you should be expecting to hear the official first episode next week, where I will share with you my own beginnings of my content journey. Until then, take care.
