Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

There’s close to 30 minutes of video, broken up into 3 segments.  There’s a great deal of blogging insight packed in these videos, but we know time is scarce.  Ingest it all at once, or knock it out in a couple of visits, either way you should definitely check out Leo’s answers to yesterday’s questions.

Once again, this interview was with Leo Babauta of  Zen Habits,  Write to Done,  and  The Power of Less.

    Wow! Thanks for taking my question, Guys, in Part 3, and spending so much time to thoroughly explore it and answer it! I appreciate the excellent advice, Leo, and will remember it for future use. : )

    This was a priceless event. Thank you for asking my question about giving readers value, and for getting Leo to sit down and share his brilliance! I love when people who have acheived success still care about the little people who look up to them as mentors. :-)

    Shanel: You’re welcome and we’re glad you enjoyed it.

    LOL I love Leo’s reaction to his phone ringing. Genuine and calm, he’s got a great sense of humor.

    I like his point about making sure the first impression is very positive, and making sure the best and useful content is easy to find. I recently made a most popular posts page based on his recommendation. It was a fun exercise for me to dig through my own archives, and I hope in the long run it helps my readers as well =)

    Thanks again Eric and Leo for a solid interview.

    @Danielle: What an awesome way to see this interview! I’m glad you really appreciate it.

    @Sid: I know, he’s very comfortable in his own skin and a super nice guy.

    That’s definitely an excellent suggestion. I plan on hashing out some kind of ‘best of’ page or sidebar list of my best stuff on “Motivate Thyself”. I was telling Sean after the interview that I really learned a lot just talking to Leo for that interview. Great stuff! Eric.

  7. Simona Rich says:

    Great advice, especially about the impact content. I think it’s better to write longer posts full of info rather than mediocre ones. Great video, I’ve learnt a lot!

    @Simona: I’m glad you really got something out of the interview. I also agree that high impact is the way to go. The occasional ‘light’ post is good, but you want your readers to feel like coming to your blog is a guarantee for informative information. Eric.
