Chris and Joel have a long backlog of questions to start working through stretching all the way back to April 9! We address the common concern of being ‘obnoxious’ when advertising or talking about your projects as well as some services to help with site analytics and distribution methods.

Chris and a slightly tipsy Joel discuss burnout (yes, again). It’s one of those topics that will probably keep coming up, so… that’s exciting. Also on the docket: French whiskey, the prospect of outsourcing this podcast, and what to do you when your Kickstarter doesn’t get funded.

Oh, we also announce an exciting new NARJ venture: the Not a Real Job Book Club!

B2B social media is the topic du jour on episode 36. Joel and Chris answer a question from a listener who sells a niche building material, and offer advice on the value of a social media presence, even if you aren’t selling directly to customers. We also discuss productivity apps for the thousandth time.
