Interview• I tried to get her for an interview and failed.• Feel free to ping her on Twitter and say:

– Hey @alispagnola you should really do that interview with @daver of @ns_metrics #please #doitforashton

• Consolation Prize: A great video on how she uses all the platforms is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI9-rBVH6yI

#pubcon

Go Small to Go Big• Think of Ali as a brand, and each video or piece of

content as content marketing• How and what does she do to promote each piece of

content?• Where does she promote it?• She likely does ZERO paid promotion, or maybe very

little.• Reuse your piece of content EVERYWHERE
