I was shocked and saddened recently when I heard that James Martell passed away.
James was a big presence in the Internet Marketing world, especially around affiliate marketing and podcasting.
I enjoyed his content (he was fearless about sharing his opinions), and although I never met with him in-person, we did a number of interviews on each others’ podcasts, we did a joint venture together for The Coaching Jungle, and had some Skype chats where we just “shot the breeze”.
The funny thing about the online space is even if you’ve never shaken a person’s hand, you feel like you know him from those online conversations and partnerships.
In the days after James’ passing, I saw a lot of people I’m connected with posting tributes to him, so it’s clear that he impacted a lot of lives.
I wanted to give a shout-out for the work that James did while he was alive, and do something to assist his wife Arlene in this difficult time.
Arlene worked with James to help him with his business, but now that’s stopping with his passing. So a donation page has been set up for her during this transition.
Since a lot of people in my network knew James and benefitted from his work, here’s the link if you’d like to make a donation.
(If you make any donation, snap a screenshot and send it to me and I’ll give you a free copy of my “Podcasting Profits” program that I did with Scott Paton a few years back)
