Summary: Today on "Ask the Podcast Coach" Dave celebrates 49 years of living and hangs out with his podcasting friends. Today we are testing an new setup. Instead of connecting via skype, and doing a conference call with callinstudio.com and Jim on skype. I am connecting to Jim on a Google Hangout, and we are using Uberconference. Retraction From Last Week [6:00] Last week we talked about a great tip for using Amazon affiliates. This included using amazon.yourwebsite.com Well thanks to a listener we found out that Jeremy Barlow found that article 2G states we can't use that tactic. We apologize for everyone, both Jim and I had looked into this, and somehow this got by us. Thanks so much for Jeremy for pointing us to the right spot. We talk about getting a live call into a hangout (if possible) and we have a few people who call in using their computer, and in the end the person who used their house phone sounded the best. Here is the link to the terms.
