As many of you know, I’m the founder of TheSpew.fm podcast which airs on GeekCast.fm.
Over the last few months, we’ve had a bunch of terrific guests on our show and have had a blast recording the podcast.
Unfortunately, (although I’m not sure how it happened), the show duration seems to have grown longer and longer; teetering on the verge of being annoying to listen to.
So as to keep the original intent of the podcast — to be a round-table of women discussing internet marketing — I’ve decided to fly solo on another podcast airing soon, appropriately named BigMouthStrikesAgain*.
This new 30-minute (or less) podcast will feature interviews of experts in affiliate marketing, social media, search engine marketing, mobile marketing and more.
While I’ll still be participating in upcoming episodes of TheSpew, I figured that with me not being on every single episode, the other girls might be able to get a word in 
So here’s where you come in.
Are you an expert in your area of online marketing? Want to help others learn more about your field?

Gregory Young submitted the following question to AskMissyWard.com:
“I have had success promoting affiliate products with niche sites, but I know I am leaving money on the table because I am not building a “list” as well. As Queen of the Affiliate Scene, I was hoping you could point me in the direction of a simple yet thorough guide on building and marketing to an email list.
Since I couldn’t locate a guide that encompassed everything that he needed to know to get started, I put together the following video presentation.
In the video, I discuss the reasons you should be building a list and marketing to it; list management and deployment technologies available and strategies to build up your numbers in your database.
