A Talk with My Biggest Fan

Posted on August 4, 2010 6:39 PM by Joel Comm

Allow me to introduce you to my biggest fan.

Sheila Simkin is a grandmother many times over. She is an avid world traveler who has been on every continent.

She read my book, The AdSense Code, a number of years ago. As a result, she got bit by the blogging bug.

Now her site, TravelsWithSheila.com, receives thousands of visits each month.

Sheila is passionate about sharing her travel experiences with others, and encouraging them to see the world on a budget.

Not only is Sheila my biggest fan. She is also my mother.

In this episode of The Joel Comm Show, Sheila pays me (her son) a visit.

Enjoy and be sure to leave your comments!

Wow! I know about http://www.travelswithsheila.com because I follow various people in the travel industry because our work on http://www.thebestofzambia.com started in travel. Separately I've read your book Twitter Power. That helped me get to grips with Twitter big time. Now, realizing you are mother and son has been fun! You both do great work. I'll have to buy The Adsense Code book next!

Hilarious video! I really enjoyed hearing about your mom's travels. What an amazing woman and blog. Looking forward to reading and hearing more about her travels.

your mom is a hoot! i love her.so real

Strange things happen while reading your books. Twitter Power 2.0 seems an extension of the learning that expanding relationships brings. Love of travel is such a natural expander.

It is great to see where your coming from, I will be joining Sheila's blog. The exchange and interview is legacy building, hope your youngsters get it! (the heritage value).

I look forward to more pointers on your Socrates theme for Wordpress as I am learning to build my blog with it. Thanks to your Mom, and to you for the expansive aims.
