How Donald Trump inadvertently made a small business podcast go from obscurity to #1 on iTunes

DRAPER, Utah - Aug. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- British born podcast presenter Andrew Lock opened his mailbox to find a shiny gold envelope that instantly grabbed his attention.

"At first I thought perhaps I'd won a trip to the Willy Wonka factory but then I remembered that's just a movie" recalls Lock.

Then he spotted some fine embossed text in the left hand corner that said "From the Desk of Donald J Trump." Opening the envelope, it was a handwritten note from the Donald, telling Lock how much he enjoyed watching his online video podcast about marketing and ideas to help small business owners.

"I was stunned" says Lock." But then came another bizarre twist. After Lock showed the letter publicly on his video podcast, a few viewers reposted the letter on social media, and Lock received a flood of traffic to his website, HelpMyBusiness.com

Lock relates: "I'd just launched a new series of the show on iTunes, and within 3 days I was getting calls and emails from viewers saying: 'have you seen iTunes, you're the number one video podcast above TED talks, Harvard Business Review, Jim Cramer, and Dave Ramsey!' Needless to say, my jaw dropped, I raced to my computer and sure enough I was in the number one spot on Apple iTunes! Since then I've been deluged with comments from new fans, and my show has been getting hundreds of thousands of views each week."

What is the show about? “Help My Business!”’ is an online TV show that helps entrepreneurs and small business owners with useful marketing ideas and ways to build a better business and stand out from the crowd.

It’s been described by some as “The Daily Show for Business.” which gives a flavor of what to expect.

When asked about the style of the show, Lock responds "I'm on a mission to expose traditional marketing methods as outdated and ineffective. The game has changed, and small business owners have to wise up to a different world of business today. The show aims to present what's working in an entertaining way, with lots of dry British humor".
