Matt, how are you? Matt:  I’m well Barbara, how are you? Barbara:  I’m good thanks. You must be having a good week. Finally, your book has come out. Your book has launched – The Stop Doing list. Matt:  It has. It’s been really exciting over the last … it’s been out for about a month now. Getting some really positive feedback. So really, really enjoying the journey. Barbara:  Yeah and probably a bit of rest time after all the push that was involved with pushing the book out. Matt:   Absolutely, absolutely. Barbara:  I can imagine. Matt:  There was a few things that I might stop doing years from now. Barbara:  Yeah. Well, I’m reading it at the moment and I’m thinking “Gosh, there’s so many things I can still stop doing.” Anyway, one of the things that I do need to stop doing is my own email, and our guest today on the show, I’m very keen to talk to today’s guest about this because he wrote a fantastic blog post about this a while ago which triggered me to bring him on the show. He’s not only a friend of mine, but he’s very big in the online marketing space online. I would call him sort of the King of people who would want to start a blog and figure out how on earth to get traffic to your blog. And get going with your blogging journey. Yaro Starak, welcome to the show. Matt:  Welcome Yaro. Yaro:  Thank you guys. Love to be here and looking forward to talking about something I don’t really talk about on podcasts very much. Barbara:  Yes, obviously you would usually be interviewed about online marketing, getting started in blogging. Tell us a bit about your background, tell the listeners a bit more about your background just to get things going. About Yaro Yaro:  Yeah, you’re quite correct. I do normally talk about blogging on I’d say, 95% of the podcast interviews I do. Primarily because that’s what I teach and what I’m known for, and I’ve been blogging myself for, we’re in year 12 now of blogging. I started in 2005, so it’s been a career. I’ve pretty much had an online entrepreneurship career my entire adult life. It’s been great to me. I have to really thank the Gods for being born in a time when I can use the internet as a way to run a business, and I’ve pretty much made my living entirely online.
