Inventing has interested me since I was a kid, so I was really excited to talk to Eskil about his experiences.<br /> Eskil started out as an affiliate marketer promoting offers on Google AdWords and Facebook. From there he ventured into the world of dietary supplements as a product owner/creator. Pursing his interest in inventing something, he created the <a href="http://stayblcam.com/">StayblCam</a>. This podcast really motivated me because it's a great example of using skills learned as an affiliate in other business ventures.<br /> If you look at Eskil's invention, you might think (like I did) he had employees or outsourced different parts of his business. What's so cool in this story is that he did the majority of work himself, using skills he learned as a marketer. In this episode we talk about:<br /> <br /> * How he got into affiliate marketing<br /> * What lead from affiliate marketing to product owner, then inventor<br /> * How he thought up the StayblCam, and the steps he took to design and create it<br /> * Finding companies to build the physical product, and the costs associated with that<br /> * Patents &#8211; what you need to know<br /> * How he built a successful Kickstarter campaign<br /> * The simple techniques he used to get massive press coverage<br /> * What skills from his affiliate marketing days helped him make this a success<br /> <br /> Check out the <a href="http://stayblcam.com/">StayblCam</a> and watch the video (he made that himself too!).

The amount of hours Charlie was putting in led to a period of terrible anxiety he had to overcome. After learning how to overcome his anxiety, and enjoy work and life again, he wrote a book called <a href="http://affplaybook.com/blog/anxiety">Play It Away: A Workaholic's Cure for Anxiety</a> detailing exactly what he did to become productive and happy again.<br /> In this episode, Charlie and I talk about how he got started working for well known authors. We discuss what caused his anxiety (a lot of you will be able to identify with this), and how he overcame it. This advice is valuable for anyone looking to be more productive and happy with their lives. How many of you work 10-12 hour days, waiting for the big payoff? You might be surprised to learn how taking time off, even an hour per day of a specific activity, can actually make you get more done.<br /> Check out <a href="http://charliehoehn.com/">Charlie's blog</a>, where you can also get a free copy of his Recession Proof Graduate ebook. I highly recommend reading Play It Away, even if you don't suffer from anxiety.
