Description

Tony D'Urso, an Amazon bestselling author and host of two weekly talk shows with over a million downloads, shares how he overcame the toughest life challenges, turned his life around, and became an influencer.

Tony D'Urso's Journey

Tony used to run a very successful lead generation business. It was so profitable that he found himself supporting several relatives. However, his industry was hit hard when Federal regulations changed 4 times in 7 years. 

As his income started dwindling, he had to come up with creative ways to bring in more money. That's how his first podcast, "Revenue Chat," was born. Now, with over a million downloads, Revenue Chat has allowed Tony to pivot into a new way to leverage his talent and to share his message.

Your influencer marketing story

Tony needed to build an audience for his new show, so he tapped into his wide network of connections on social media to sign up new guests.

Because he had created solid business relationships, most of the people he contacted agreed to be on his show.

Tony emphasizes that people in his network share his values and style, so the relationships naturally grow, and many of those people become his podcast guests and advocates.

There have been many instances where Tony's passion for helping others has led him to amazing opportunities. On one occasion, as he volunteered at an event, he was introduced to the CEO of Voice America. Eventually, Revenue Chat became number one on the Voice America Influencers Channel. 

Worst influencer marketing moment

Because Tony only connects with those who share his values, he hasn't had many bad experiences. Only one of his guests turned out to not have the best intentions, and that interview was never aired.
