The Takeover

by Kelly McCausey

When I spotted that 451Press was looking for a podcasting blogger I said ‘Hmmmm, could this be another way to ‘go wide’ with my message and reach more eyeballs?’

I decided to check things out and apply.

When I received the official go message from the powers that be I was startled to discover that I would be taking over an existing 451Press blog. I was even more surprised to find out that the blog I would be taking over had been written by well known podcasting expert, Anna Farmery.

I don’t have any personal relationship with Anna, though I have been a long time sometimes listener of The Podcast Sisters podcast. For just a moment I thought, do I really want to do this? I mean, if Anna left the blog behind - could that be a sign that it’s not a worthwhile project to pursue?

I took a few days to ruminate on it and obviously in the end I decided to go ahead and run with it.

Taking over an existing blog with a lot of great content, inbound links and a pagerank of 4 is better than a starting one from scratch any day.

So what can you look forward to reading here on the Podcast Freq (read: freak!) blog?

Up to date, real life news and stories about podcasting and podcasters.

Who am I?sq_kelly.jpg

I am Kelly McCausey. Single mom, podcaster, internet based home business coach, blogger, teacher, opinionated stinker.

I live in Portland, Michigan which is about half way between the capitol city of Lansing and Grand Rapids. I’m a recent transplant from beautiful Gaylord, Michigan which is about an hour south of the Mackinaw Bridge. I tell you this much about my locale to illustrate that I don’t live particularly close to anything or anywhere.

Yet, on a daily basis I am connected to a huge world. I’ve been able to grow a powerful niche audience and leverage that into a full time income - largely because of podcasting.

And that is why I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences, expertise and friends with you.
