In the audio interview above I talk with Erica Douglass of Erica.Biz.  Most know her as the girl who sold her web hosting company business at the age 0f 26 for $1,100,000.  Now she teaches people how to build their business and different strategies she uses to be successful.

Her web hosting company all started with her passion for technology.  We talked quite a bit with how much technology interests the both of us and the excitement that comes along with technology advancing.  Then we kind of got a little off topic with how she builds traffic to her site.

We kind of look at the idea of traffic building a little differently.  She believes in SEO and even though I think SEO is a good thing, I think commenting on blogs and interacting with the community is a lot better for building relationships.  We continued on this path with discussing mailing lists and the techniques that go into getting a massive amount of opt-ins.

It may seem like we got off the topic of our passions of technology, but actually we didn’t. Mailing lists are an advancement in technology, especially how improved and customizable they are today.  SEO is not something many people like, but it is a technology that is used to drive traffic to your site and business.  It’s the alternative form of social media if you think about it.

What do you think of Erica’s tips?  Are you as passionate about technology as we are?  If you ever thought that driving a profit from a passion was impossible, Erica is living proof that with hard work that it can happen.  Finally, how do you feel about the format and structure of the interviews I do?
