Gideon Shalwick is a Serial Entrepreneur from Australia who has really taken social media and blogging and combined them to make a powerful combination. Gideon, along with Yaro Starak, has put together the most easy to follow blogging training program called Become A Blogger and provide a lot of free resources to help take a blog to another level.
Two of the most notable FREE resources are:
- The Roadmap to Become a Blogger
- BecomeABlogger.com – 10 Free video tutorials to get you up and running
In this Interview . . .
Gideon first talks about how he quit his job, migrated to Australia and decided to start his own Online Business. If you know Gideon, he’s a very good teacher, and he does a great job in this interview of outlining the steps to take to start your own successful online business. He shows how he has used Youtube to drive a massive amount of traffic to his Magic site FreeMagicLive.
What I LOVE about this interview is that Gideon shows from his own experience that it is VERY POSSIBLE to use these principles to make money outside of the “Make Money Online” industry. He teaches principles that can be applied to Freebie Trading, Affiliate Marketing, Magic and even Biology.
If you are interested in learning more about what Gideon Teaches, be sure to check out his Roadmap, Becomeablogger.com and his blog at GideonShalwick.com.
So go ahead and listen to the interview and let me know what you think about it by leaving comments on this post.

Hey Leslie, thanks for sharing this great interview with Gideon. A lot of very good tips to think on. I myself am just beginning to use youtube. I was definitely hesitant in using video because I was nervous about being in front of the camera. One thing I'm learning though is there are many other ways to use video, such as camtasia, cam studio, and my new favorite animoto.com.
You have given me many amazing ideas Leslie, so I want to thank you.
One of the reasons I started looking seriously into freebie trading was due to this very blog “thefreebieguy.net”
Maybe I can interview you soon?
Thanks a lot,
Joe

Hey Joe,
First of all I'm glad that you were able to find value in the interview. That's my main reason for conducting these kinds of interviews – to provide you guys with great content. It's great because by doing so, I get to learn a lot myself.
You are very right about not using a camera. If you aren't comfortable being on camera, screencasts are a GREAT option. In fact, that's a technique that I'm using on many of my videos on multiple websites and at time, that can be even better. Animoto is also a great option.
I would love to do an interview with you. Whatever I can do to help and provide value.
All the best
