Interview With Andrew Warner on Mixergy

by Jeremy Schoemaker on April 5, 2009 · 65 comments

Last week I did an interview with Andrew Warner of Mixergy.com.   Andrew is one of the best interviewers out there and presses you when he tells he is on to something or it is of good value to his audience.   He certainly had me on the hot seat many times and I think that is when your best comes out.

I cant tell you how nice it is to do a interview with someone who has done their homework on you and does not ask simple questions that can be answered just by reading your bio (which happens to me 90% of the time).

Below is the video interview:

Shoutout to  Merrick Lozano for doing the intro between me and Andrew.

Sounds like you were getting down to business on this one! Gotta catch the whole thing…

Wondering – when is you next Q&A ???

Down to business is my middle name.

There’s too much to learn to screw around. (Plus internet audiences are demanding.)

Thanks.

Great stuff. I knew he’d be good because I saw the videos here on Shoemoney. All well-done and each point is clearly explained. He’s good.

You’re one of the best interviews because you have a strong point of view, thought out ideas and a passionate following.

Thanks for coming on Mixergy.

That was a really good interview to watch!

Yeah, besides the content, it was good the Jeremy had an HD camera to record his side. I still don’t have a way to record high quality video remotely.

So far all I use is Skype.

WOW! :)
Very nice interview… Indeed, mixergy does a great job. :)
P.S. I can see the netflix being a good one for the example too…
Some time ago I made a landing page and was driving traffic with just regular campaigns and it converted very well… untill azoogle disabled the ad for me without letting me know about disabling it or the reason behind it and it took me a few days of loosing ad money and breaking my head trying to figure out it didnt convert anymore. :-(
Anyway, great interview! Good Job! Hope people don’t steal your ideas too much. :)

The more people I can get to listen to these interviews, the more pressure there will be on each interviewee to bring the knowledge and hold nothing back.

Yeah, SEOBook.com picked up on that too in the article they wrote up on this interview.

If you have those 3 points, there’s no stopping your company.

Thanks for the comment!

32 Brad Coughlin April 6, 2009 at 12:52 am

The thing about Jeremy is he knows that the majority (like %99.9) of the population out there can’t figure out *exactly* how he does things. They can try to copy, but it’s those minute details that payoff. What great energy from Andrew Warner!

Reply

33 Andrew Warner April 6, 2009 at 11:05 pm

Thanks Brad.

And to be honest, that’s the challenge for me in my interviews.

Even if I get people to teach what they do step-by-step, it’s hard for others to copy because the nuances that you can’t anticipate make all the difference.

I need to figure out how to overcome that.

Good point.

Thanks Dean. I had a pile of questions to ask, as I’m sure you do. Next time we’ll ask even more.

BTW, I like the name of your blog, discipline is the big challenge in business, no?

Hey I’m going to go make a Cornhusker quiz right now… maybe not, even though I am from Nebraska. Anyways how do you get this quiz to make sales? When you take a quiz you get something from a sponsor link or something?

Reply

43 Andrew Warner April 6, 2009 at 10:57 pm

At the end of the quiz, he shows a link to Netflix. Netflix has an affiliate program that pays anyone a bounty for getting them new registrations.

Keep reading Shoemoney.com and these programs will come naturally to you.

Thanks for listening to the interview. Good luck with your fundraiser.

Jeremy’s the great talker. After doing over 100 interviews, I can tell you that people who write blogs and/or books can always explain their ideas well.

Writing about a subject for a long time naturally makes people smarter.

Thanks for the compliment Rick!

Good interview overall. I personally thought the prying for income towards the begninning to be a little tacky. Especially after he told you there was a NDA in place that prevented him from doing so. Especially after you admitted that you weren’t willing to do the same.

Also, saying a 150k check from adsense was (paraphrasing) “not a huge amount of money, but pretty good” kind of was a putoff. You don’t need to sound like a bigshot. It’s safe to say that $150k in adsense/month is more than 99.999999% of your listeners will make in their lives of marketing online.

55 Mert K. April 7, 2009 at 11:04 pm

I though that interview was about to make sell their DVD but i’ve seen those are free then I run to other stage of brain storming and see that Andrew Warner , is looking for someone to race with. If there is someone can tell him what is the next trick or show it , then he will get other point of view and start to think about that. It might be just a interview to help people and show how to think. Probably …
