In this video, I get a question from Brian who asks a multitude of questions! Brian wants to know: “1) Do you think there are people interested in hearing about what tech is the best bang for your buck(and/or tech noews and reviews from a college student’s viewpoint)? (yes, I know it’s very subjective, but I value your opinion) 2) What software are you using to publish those awesome videos and how did you setup your podcast and RSS feeds? (not just for the blogs but for podcasts too, and a flowchart-esque diagram would be sweet here) 3) Any tips on developing a personal brand? Tips on marketing yourself and getting started in the blogo/twitter-sphere? (I want to do this and share my information and knowledge with people) 4) Where’s that donate link on your site and how did you get it? (and send me a direct link, I feel like I owe you a few bucks for answering my questions)” Wow! What a list of questions. For 1, I believe there is a need for this type of thing on the internet. Low cost alternatives are becoming more popular in this tough economy. For 2, I use Ubercaster, please check out my podcast tutorial that I posted recently. For RSS, I use Feeder for Mac, but you can also use the built in RSS for blogging engines such as Wordpress (through a plugin called Podpress) For video, I use Visualhub combined with Quicktime Pro 7. I’ve done videos on my techniques here on bwana.tv. For 3, be yourself, be consistent, and don’t give up 
I really don’t have a formula for developing a personal brand. And for 4, visit http://bwana.tv/donations for the many ways you can donate. Thanks for the questions Brian!

Hello and welcome to GopherHaul 25 – Lawn Care Marketing Business Show
In this episode we will be talking about
GopherHaul breaks the 900,000 view mark! Thank you everyone for watching us!
Lawn Care Business Question:
“I need help selling my accounts.”
Greenmind wrote us “I am selling my accounts this week to a local landscaper. He wants to pay me in 3 payments. Over a 3 month period or 90 days as people stay with the new company. Also he does not want to pay the initial payment until all customers are contacted. Is he buying my business or my customers? Also is the 90 day period normal or am I being to generous, I have talked with several people and they seem to think that he is taking some risk by buying my accounts and thats part of the business and some suggest that I charge more for letting him pay over 90 days.
What do you guys think? Any help with someone with experience in this area would be very helpful. I don’t want to get taking on this transaction. I worked very hard to get and keep these customers.”
A bunch of the Gopher Lawn Care Forum members responded in this post

Lawn Care Business Podcast Discussion:
I had a great podcast interview with Author Ken Lavoie. Of lawnguru.net
1. We talked about the pitfalls of buying too much new too soon, Ken calls this ‘Iron Addiction.’
2. How ego effects business decisions and how to control it.
3. Then we talked about what marketing ideas worked and what didn’t.
4. When and how you should integrate your first employee into your business.
5. And this was a fantastic topic Finance, Debt and Growth – “The 50/50 Rule and stay in the black with the 20% Rule!” If you find yourself making a lot of money but at the end of the year wondering where it all went, it’s very possible you are growing too fast. In Ken’s 50/50 rule, he suggests not financing any more than 50% of the equipment price. If you need to finance more than that, you shouldn’t be purchasing the equipment.

Lawn Care Marketing Material Review:
Chuck posted a post card design he was considering sending out and said “Here’s what I’ve been contemplating sending out. I know I have no fancy logo or nice looking lawn photos on it but I can’t fit them with all the text I’d like on it.”
He asked everyone to give him a review of his lawn care marketing material and we got a lot of great responses. If you would like us to review your marketing material, please feel free to make a post and include it.
