Welcome!
Audience Industries began in 2013 as an education workshop company teaching moms how to create a side income to support their families. Within, we operate a blog called FindingJoy.net that has 1.1M fans on Facebook and is a large support system for moms. Audience Industries also operates two podcasts, one a social media time capsule and the other a history podcast inspired by the late Paul Harvey.
We are, through and through, an education company.
Rachel Marie Martin is the co-founder of Audience Industries and author of FindingJoy.net as well as three traditionally published books by Penguin RandomHouse and others.
She was a single mom of 7 who overcame poverty to build a real career online. She has been featured on Good Morning America, the Today Show and over 200 other television stations. She now speaks on stages across the world teaching people they don’t have to let their present situation determine their future.
Dan R Morris is the co-founder of Audience Industries and host of Tracing the Path. He grew up in a military family – always living in a different part of the world. He is a huge fan of history and storytelling and thus uses his skills to create recently named Best History Podcast by the NY Podcast Awards.
He spent 10 years as a Walgreens developer building over 70 Walgreens pharmacies. He then spent time in the TV and Radio infomercial world marketing an antioxidant nutritional supplement. His experience there led him to speaking at blogging conferences and realizing the impact an online job could make to moms.
We do 6 main things:
1. FindingJoy.net – a blog about motherhood. We’ve grown it to 1,000,000+ fans on Facebook without paying a dime in advertising. It got Rachel several book deals, time on the Today Show and Good Morning America, Keynote Speeches everywhere and a lot of love. But it’s truly about the audience.
2. Stacks – Every year in June we compile the best digital marketing courses/classes and trainings from all over the world and attempt to create the most amazing deal you could ever imagine. We call that BC Stack. And then every year in October we do a 2nd Stack but we focus it entirely on podcasting. We call that Podcaster’s Kit.
4. Blogging Concentrated – We put on live, in-person 8-hour workshops around the world teaching bloggers, podcasters, vloggers and digital marketers how to turn their hobby into a career.
5. Front Porch Ideas – Our folks started this niche website about front porch long, long ago. We’ve been taking it over, slowly, with ideas of creating a new community of porch lovers.
6. Tracing The Path – Tracing the Path is a story telling podcast that weaves together the amazing events, ideas and happenings of the 20th century. AmplifyToday is a social media highlight reel of all that’s going on in digital and social media.
When we’re not doing those things, we’ve got a Brady Bunch family of 13 people. You can find us hiking around Tennessee, running in the neighborhood, improving the house and traveling for date weekends.
