Hey everyone! You’re probably here because you heard the McElroys talk about us on My Brother, My Brother and Me, because we paid them to do that.

Are you interested in learning more about how to use the Internet to market your small business, or another project? Please subscribe!

Looking for a place to start? Here are two of our favorite episodes to give you a taste of what we’re all about:

Episode 18: Managing Employees
Managing employees is a constant challenge, and there are tons of different theories and philosophies about doing it well. Chris and Joel share their different experiences (Chris runs a design company and employs freelancers and Joel leads an in-office team of writers) and give you advice about managing your team and helping them succeed.

Episode 20: It’s Christmas!
Our first Christmas special! Complete with holiday-themed music and bad puns. In this episode, Chris and Joel talk about the importance of writing good well and where to go for help.

We hope you enjoy our show! We’re huge fans of MBMBaM, so we’re thrilled that you’ve decided to come give us a listen.

As you probably know, Not a Real Job is Not a Free Podcast. We charge $40 per year, which gets you one episode every week for less than a dollar per episode. Not bad!

However, in the spirit of the holiday season, we’re giving away a few subscriptions to you, random Internet denizen. Entering is easy: just follow us on Twitter and tweet us a question about social media marketing, digital entrepreneurship, or related topics.

We’ll pick two questions from the bunch, and give the authors of those questions free subscriptions to the show good for one year (again, a $40 value). We’ll also answer the questions in upcoming episodes of the show.

The contest is running from today (Monday, December 9th) through Monday, December 16th. That’s a full week to follow us and cook up a great question.

A sample entry.

“Now hold on Chris/Joel,” I hear you say. “I don’t have a Twitter account. Can I still enter?” The answer is an emphatic yes, you most certainly can! Hop on over to Chris’s website, where you can enter to win by submitting a question and email address (you do have an email address, right?).

A few notes:

1. We’re giving away four subscriptions in total: two from our Twitter entries, and two from entries at Chris’s site.
2.  You can enter multiple times, in multiple places! Just don’t use the same question twice. Every question you submit should be unique.
3. Your Twitter account must be public. If it’s private, we won’t be able to see your submission. Similarly, you have to include the @NARJcast handle in your post.
4. We will be judging based on question quality, so don’t submit a stupid question (no pressure).

Good luck, and may the best tweet win!

Hi NARJologists!

Because of our busy schedules, Joel and I didn’t put together an episode of Not a Real Job this week. Don’t worry: we’ll be back next week with more digital marketing awesomeness, but in the meantime, you can help us out by sharing the show! Pick your favourite episode and tweet and share the link.

You can also find and follow us on Twitter (@NARJcast), if you haven’t already.

Thanks for your continued support of the show!

Hey NARJologists! (Consider that a demonym in progress… email your suggestions!)

Guess what: we’re on iTunes now! Okay—we’re sort of on iTunes now. The iTunes Store doesn’t let us list the subscriber-only feed, but we can list our free one. So we’ve done just that.

We’re planning on offering free episodes every so often, but you’ll get the best NARJ experience if you subscribe. We’d love your support, and we promise to make it worth your while. And if you already are a subscriber, you’re more than welcome to rate us on iTunes. Or not. No pressure.

Thanks for your support, NARJographers! (Okay really—help us figure this out.)
