Hey friends,

We are still a little more than six months from the official release of The Age of Influence, but I have been busy preparing for its release. The first thing that I did was rebrand my podcast, which used to be called Maximize Your Social, to become the Maximize Your Social Influence podcast. If you haven't subscribed to it yet, I recently made it available on Google Play, Radio.com, and iHeartRadio in addition to iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher, so hopefully you'll be able to find it regardless of the podcast app that you use!

This week I have some special guests for my podcast that I will be interviewing via livestream that will be on my Facebook Page every day this week starting Tuesday! This is a great way to get your questions answered as well as engage with some of the top minds in social media today!

You'll want to make sure you like my Facebook Page and navigate over to it (click here for a shortcut) so that you can catch these interviews at 11:30 A.M. Pacific / 1:30 P.M. Pacific every day this week from today, Tuesday, October 8 to Friday, October 11 and will last approximately 30 minutes apiece.

Check out these experts that I'll be interviewing and topics that we will be discussing:

TUESDAY: Social Media’s Value is Not Revenue. It’s Something Far More Important for B2B Companies

Special Guest: Garrett Mehrguth, CEO of the search engine marketing agency Directive

WEDNESDAY: How Catch My Party Attracted 1 Million Followers on Pinterest, and How You Can Leverage What They Learned with Milo Tree!

Special Guest: Jillian Tohber Leslie, Founder and CEO of Catch My Party, who have more than 1 million Pinterest followers and more than 100 thousand Instagram followers. From her success she actually developed the list and follower plugin Milo Tree which I use on my site.

THURSDAY: How to Create and Implement an Instagram Strategy to Grow Your Brand with Plann

Special Guest: Christy Laurence, CEO and Founder of the leading Instagram scheduling app Plann

FRIDAY: Everything You Wanted to Know about LinkedIn Ads

Special Guest: World-Renowned LinkedIn Ads Expert AJ Wilcox

Attend one or all of them - you are free to pick and choose and they are all free to attend! Even if you miss them, the recordings will be posted on my Facebook Page, uploaded to my podcast, and even published on my YouTube channel for your listening and viewing pleasure. If you are wondering what happened to the first round of livestream interviews I did over the summer, the first podcast should be made available next week with YouTube uploads to follow!

If there are any topics that you'd like me to discuss on future livestreams or guests that you'd like to recommend I interview (you, perhaps? ;-), please feel free to let me know by responding to this email.

Hopefully I will see you online sometime this week!

Autumn regards,
Neal Schaffer
