The Joel Comm Show is BACK! Episode #1 – How to Win at Social Media

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes…
Like a boomerang that just keeps coming back…
Like an itch you just can’t scratch…
The Joel Comm Show is BACK!
As of today, I am pleased to announce the final phase in my comeback has now been put into action. After selling off a couple of my businesses, cutting my staff to one person (me!) and taking a semi-sabbatical to work on myself physically, emotionally and spiritually, I now am ready to pour good stuff back into the world the best way I know how.
I’ve reworked my website, am presently writing a couple books, exploring joint venture opportunities and quite active in the social space. Now, I have revived The Joel Comm Show in the form of a podcast.
That means you can take me with you wherever you go! (Isn’t that convenient?)
It’s my first episode, so it may be a little rough around the edges. Be gentle with me, please.
The show is available on iTunes and you can subscribe by clicking here.
To save to your computer, right-click this link and select save-as
Or just listen in the player below.
Your feedback means the world to me. I would so appreciate it if you would leave your comments below. What did you think of the show? What would you like to hear me talk about? I thank you in advance!


I enjoyed the first podcast Joel, great to have you back. Personally I would prefer it to be a video podcast as they are more personal. Check your Facebook wall for the screenshot of Issue 1 of the Top 1% from 5 years ago. Still have it along with the members bonus DVD.
That’s pretty cool, Ray 🙂
Nice fist podcast Joel. Listened to the whole thing. Keep ’em coming!
Next week!
Sounding good Joel – glad you are back!
Thank you, Troy. Me too 🙂
I just listened. Great (first) podcast 🙂 My site is hosted by BlueHost and I watched the BlueHost FB thread on Friday blow up. I actually felt bad for BlueHost. They posted updates and people were so nasty and mean demanding better service. BlueHost was obviously doing the best they could. I will add your podcast to my list and listen again!
Thanks Jolene!
Joel! Great to see (and hear) you’ve taken this step and started podcasting – you have such a melliflous voice and so much wisdom to share about online business. I predict this podcast will flourish and help a lot of people!
I appreciate the vote of confidence, and from your lips to God’s ears, my friend
Love the simplicity of your message and the background music!
Thanks! I like the music, too 🙂
Joel, outstanding first episode! I am a fan. I love your laid-back, personable style. And you definitely have a great radio voice. 😉
Hi praise, indeed, coming from a professional such as yourself. You inspired me, Ray!
Love the new podcast, and the news about the hosting companies… people do tend to panic but having your experience and insight is great to help them understand that it does indeed happen. Love the advice “chill out!”
Great show Joel!
Thank you, Lori!
Good way to end my day Joel listening to your EPISODE #1 of THE JOEL COMM SHOW! Good seeing you back and doing the pod cast is a good way to do so. A very good listen and thank you Sir!
Time for bed now. : )
Thanks Rich! And welcome back to you, too 🙂
I too failed to over-react to the hosting problems. Hostgator has been there for me for a long time as well. I am a little nervous that the company who owns them seems to keep buying. Makes me think the corporate culture is changing.
I’m still on the fence because there is no guaranteed service.
Oh well, tomorrow already came. 🙂
Right. Stuff happens. Role with it.
Enjoyed it thoroughly – can’t wait until next week. I did try to subscribe by email and got a 404 error and sent it to the webmaster but wanted you to know about it. Till next week!
Thanks Terri. I will look into that.
Welcome back Joel – enjoyed your first podcast and looking forward to more. You are looking great, but don’t lose any more weight!
I could actually stand to drop 10 pounds again!
Joel, you sound great and I love your insights into social media and building relationships. Who would have ever thought being “real” was the key. lol Thank you for your integrity and for getting back in the game and sharing your genius.
Thanks Mike
Joel ~ so glad you are back! Loved listening to your latest podcast!!
Yay! Very kind of you to comment 🙂
Great to have you back Joel, love the fact it’s not just about marketing but about life !
Looking forward to the future.
Thanks Peter!
Although Hostgator is my host, I was fortunate that it didn’t affect me that day.
Life is about relationships. Marketing is about relationships.
Keeping it real is where it’s at. Be yourself, be natural and have a good time. I’m not a rocket scientist either!
Welcome back!

Nor am I a brain surgeon. Brains? ewwwww….
Awesome show Joel, and great content as always.
Much obliged 🙂
Joel, Your Podcast Episode #1 is really cool – and over the many years that I have been one of your followers, I am always in awe of the variety of formats that you come up with.
Looking forward to Episode #2, and #3, and, and, and…
Thanks for the excellent info re: freaking out over the recent hosting outage. Saw a lot of folks on LinkedIn and Facebook all ready to jump to a new provider. I guess 99.95 uptime isn’t good enough for some.
And thanks even more for the “flashback” moment to Mr Wizard! Loved that show as much as Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Looking forward to episode 2.
You betcha!
Very timely podcast. I just read that ebay blocked 15,000 seller accounts today.
Thankfully, I was not one of them and thankfully, ebay is not my only income stream
It pays to be flexible and have a backup plan
Is that right? What was the reason?
Keepin’ it REAL as always Joel! WELCOME BACK!! Looking forward to next weeks podcast!
Thank you, Vance!
Great voice! The format works well, flows. Content relevant, and no doubt you are the authentic, one and only, Joel Comm. Looking forward to upcoming shows. Thanks for sharing your genius!
Great comments. I appreciate it!
Hi Joel,
Outstanding! First podcast I have ever been on and how fortunate for me that it was yours, Joel. Very inspiring messages, particularly the comments about social media. Your advice was “golden”, Joel! Can’t wait to hear your next podcast!
Great to have you back Joel! I have Bluehost for a few clients and my site as luck would have it is still on GoDaddy. I watched as others have mentioned the BlueHost Twitter stream and I think they did a pretty good job of keeping us updated. Did I panic – heck no, I informed my clients the latest status throughout the day but I continued on as business as usual. This wasn’t the first outage and it won’t be the last. Interesting, almost comical to see others jumping ship impulsively thinking the grass is greener on another provider. Looking forward to next week’s episode 🙂
Based on this podcast, I think I need a podcast from you on Google Chrome and/or Google + – btw, glad you’re back!
Hey Joel! I love the podcast and plan to implement right away. I’m on a few social sites but don’t really reach out and “mingle” but I’m starting today. Thanks Joel; good stuff!
Thanks for the tips! I also like to go from site to site and have many open tabs on my browser at all times, LOL!
Joel my only feedback is——–When is your next post due?
Cant wait for your insights. Great to have you back.
Hi Joel,
Great to have you back! I did not have time for your podcast, but I made time and I am really glad I did.
I liked everything about the show, the info, the wisdom, the fact that you are back, the voice, the music, … well… almost everything… it could use a picture instead of a black screen on the viewer.
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Thanks Joel, good work!
Wow Joel, loving your new podcast!!! I am glad you are brining this awesome stuff to your readers!!!
