The Daily Podcast is no more....

Hello and welcome to the Boostly Podcast. As always, my name is Mark Simpson and I give hosts just like you, the tools, the tactics, the training, but most importantly, the confidence for you to get more direct bookings. And every day in 2021, I set a goal, and that goal was to do a daily podcast, a daily video to help hosts bounce back from. From 2020, going into 2021 and going into 2022. I, for a lot of you, will know who follow me on social media, whether that's Instagram or Facebook, LinkedIn, wherever. You'll know that at the end of September, me and my family, we left Spain, traveling back to the uk, where we have got a house currently being built. And I'll explain why that word currently is important in a second. So before I left Spain, I worked like a madman to bulk record content that would take me up to the end of November, because I knew that at the start of December I would be in my new house, which is going to have its own office built into it, podcast recording studio, where I could just start up and just carry on like nothing happened. I cannot believe I'm saying this, but we are now, I'm recording this on Wednesday 8th December, and we are still not in the house right now. I am currently sat in a Travelodge and this is the perfect time for me to record this because I've been able to get a bit of peace and quiet from the boys and all of that life is throwing around. So, unfortunately, this is the end of the daily podcast for now. I've tried my best to try and create daily podcasts to help you because I know that it is helping a lot of people. I was recently an event in London and it was amazing to have people come up to me to say that they listen to the podcast on a daily basis and I love and adore that. And I am going to continue. I will start up again, but it has to have a little pause. Simply being is that I've got no way a means of recording it consistently and something that will be decent quality, but at the same time they'll be able to go out every day. What we are doing instead, what my team are doing instead is we are creating lots of videos and we are creating little mini videos from all of the podcasts and we're putting them up on Instagram and YouTube every single day. So even though the audio version isn't going to be here, a new audio version, there's going to be little sound bites, little sound captures, things that I'VE gone over all over this year and last year that you can still put into practice now, but it's going to be in video, short video form. So for you to get that head on to the YouTube channel, Instagram, Ostler UK, LinkedIn, Facebook. We're even dabbling with Pinterest now because we're finding that a lot of people are discovering us through Pinterest. So we're all over. There's so many exciting things in the pipeline. Um, as soon as we get December out of the way, we get into January ever. So many exciting things in the pipeline. And, and that is before we even start about talking about getting into the house and getting the office. So, so the, the thing that I'm going to say with me is, I'm gonna say right now is say apologies, Apologies. I couldn't stick to it. We did a very good go. We got until the 5th of December, so we're almost there. And I tried so hard to, to, to make it work, but we couldn't do it. So if you are listening, this podcast is only going to come out on the audio version. So it'd be really interesting to see who sees it and hears it and gets to this point in it. If you've got to this point in the audio. This is a little experiment for me. Just send me a little message. Send me a message on either email market.co.uk, tell me that you listen to the audio Instagram Ostleruk, say that you listen to the podcast episode, you listen to the audio only version and I will send you a little gift in the post to say thank you for being one of the people that downloads it and listens to it every single day. This podcast this year has grown insane amounts. It's been downloaded over 100,000 times, which is bananas. And it is now the top rated, top ranked podcast in hospitality. Which again is crazy seeing that there are now so many podcasts out there. So that's a thank you to you, thank you to the team for doing amazing work and I am so looking forward to getting this going again into 2022. You're going to be seeing a lot of me in January mainly being because the book, the Book Direct Playbook is being released on book direct day 2nd of February, 2022. 2222, which is a lovely date to release a book. So there's going to be a lot of promotion, a lot of talking about it in the build up to it. If you want to join the waiting list, boostly B o o s t l y.co.uk/book. Come and join the waiting list and to get further instructions on all of those cool things. So if I don't speak to you beforehand, have an amazing Christmas New Year and all that jazz. I will be back next year with the daily podcast in a new studio, a new office with tons of new ideas and I look forward to seeing you all when I see you all. As always, stay awesome, stay proactive, don't be reactive and let's go and get some direct bookings.
