    Thanks for the great interview Nicole! I’m a newbie to internet marketing so all the information can be a bit overwhelming but Karon makes it all so relevant that I can’t help but eat it up!
    I prefer the written word because it cuts down on the amount of notes I have to take with audios, so thank you for making that option available; all I had to do was open my kindle cloud and downloaded the book/interview (for free).
    And I have to thank you so much for your excellent blog and all the resources (both free and paid) that you recommend. Your name in my inbox has become synonymous with quality content and I always look forward to your emails!

    Can hardly wait to listen to this interview, Nicole, but I wanted to tell you what a great ah-hah I just had that you triggered => the transcript on Kindle! Well, duh! that is brilliant, and I had seen it before, but the magnitude of the marketing effect just hit me full force.

    Sometimes, I think I ought to have a bald spot on my forehead from smacking myself saying, “That’s a great idea!”

    Thank you so much for bringing these back. Learning from other people’s stories is huge for me. I’d like to share the tool that compliments paypal like a merchant account.
