Working two jobs plus going on vacation recently with no online access means my site has no fresh post or podcast in probably two months. I hate the feeling of not being reliable and regular the way my favorite blogs and podcasts are.

JD: I read your book over the weekend, and it was very helpful. I have put the final touches on a rough draft for my book, and I was wondering who printed your book. I also enjoy your show, and thanks for the help.

Michael: Hi Justin, I’ve been listening to your podcasts and find them very informative. I would like to know how best to track an ebook in pdf on my site with Google analytics. I have read over track event view and track page view but am still unsure set this up. Any suggestions? My knowledge of coding is sparse.

I don’t use google analytics to track downloads. Instead, I use Libsyn.

Steve: I plan on holding weekly workshops in 2012 to build my coaching business. I haven’t taken any type of coaching training program, but have 20 years of experience in encouraging, giving advice, counseling, motivating, inspiring, and teaching. How should I go about monetizing and charging for the workshops and seminars? How should I offer coaching? How do I charge: hourly, weekly, or monthly? What should I charge? Am I allowed to gather material from the web and sell them to my clients? What about giving them away for free?
