How Jaime Masters built a successful business with an interview show
“When I was a little girl and I can remember so clearly wishing on a shooting star that my mom could come home and not work during the holidays. I knew that when I grew up, I would find a way to to do both-be a mom AND do work I loved.”
In 2008, Jaime wanted to have a baby and work part-time from home. But she and her husband were in serious debt, and Jaime made two-thirds of their household income.
Her strategy: Budget. She and her husband sat down and added up all of their debts — a total tally of around $70,000.
By the time Jaime quit working full-time — which was less than two years after she started the budget — she had paid off $70,000 in debt and put $23,000 into an emergency fund.
Jaime Masters has launched a podcast show where she hosted one-on-one interviews with over 350 millionaires and billionaires. She is now able to work 20 hours per week from home.
Her work with millionaires has also garnered the attention of media giants, such as…Yahoo Finance (6x homepage feature), and Inc.com (5x), SUCCESS Magazine, Entrepreneur, Women’s Health Magazine, TIME,CNN, Business Insider and more.
In this interactive show, we’ll talk to Jaime about her journey and what fuels her the most:
Do you have a podcast? Thinking of having one? Wanting to learn how to monetize it and turn it into a business?
Comment and let us know.
I already have the basis, production elements and marketing plan for an audio podcast. But the distribution seems to be a wild west of hosts and hosting platforms (iTunes, Google Play Store, Stitcher, Feedburner etc.) How do you pick how to distribute your podcast to your audience?
Bill, You dont’ have to choose a platform; you choose a podcast hosting service like Libsyn.com because iit distributes your podcast you submit to all those iTunes, Stitcher, soundcloud, linkedin, facebook for distribution. My podcast, Solopreneur Success Strategies goes to 14 platforms.
Thanks for sharing Jane!
So that’s like an RSS feed?
How do you price point a podcast when you’re marketing it, especially if it’s something that’s new? The idea is a billboard or a 15 sec commercial in the podcast.
I really enjoy doing LIVE video shows, and only just starting with these on a regular basis. Starting at once a week. Podcasts are something I have not thought of doing, yet after watching this interview I’m hopeful to follow up and see if it IS something I want to do. I love that summary of shortening the process of learn something, doing and committing to it without procrastination in the putting it into action toward the goal.
I love that too Ros.
I was happily surprised to learn that those people became millionaires not because of a grand idea, but because of commitment and following through.
That’s something each of us can do.
