Kelowna woman's podcasts top U.S. charts

Show on creating wealth, happiness gets more downloads than Oprah

Marke Andrews, Vancouver Sun

Published: Friday, March 21, 2008

When it comes to iTunes podcasts, Karen Luniw is No. 1 with a bullet.

Normally, that gets you online fame and little else.

In the case of Luniw, a Kelowna entrepreneur, she's generating income from those podcasts, most of it coming from south of the border.

Luniw's Law of Attraction Tips podcast -- which is not so much about attracting a romantic partner as it is about attracting wealth and peace of mind -- ranks No. 1 in the iTunes health category in the U.S. (self-help podcasts are lumped into the health category), and is among the top 20 podcasts for all categories, including Oprah Winfrey's.

Luniw says Law of Attraction Tips has been downloaded more than 600,000 times since January 2007, and 30,000 times this week

Have you seen The Secret?

Hi

In five weeks I will be hosting the Podcast Bootcamp in Vancouver, BC. I am very excited about it. Bootcamp Number TWO!! Whoo! One year ago I hosted my first one and it was tremendous.

In fact, I already have over 20 people signed up and I was not going to add anymore. The Bootcamp is a hands on learning experience. Everyone leaves with a working podcast. A lot of work is done during the Bootcamp and a lot of networking after hours in the most beautiful city in the world IMHO.

But one of my mentors challenged me to go BIG and head for 50 students. So I convinced two of Vancouver's top enrollers to help me fill the room. If you ever wanted to come to Vancouver, or live here already... head over to http://www.thepodcastbootcamp.com and join us!

Already, some of the top Internet Marketers from Europe are coming over. Plus I have some special guest speakers who will be sharing the stage with me and you won't want to miss them. Tons of cutting edge information you can use immediately to grow your business.

But...

Before the Bootcamp I will be giving a four hour workshop as part of Dov Baron's Wealth Symposium. I don't have all the details yet, but I will be sure to update you when I get them. It takes place the week before my Bootcamp and looks like a must see event.

Dov started out in a ghetto in the UK, then when it looked like he had it made, he fell 120 feet (that's like 12 stories) while free-climbing at Brandywine Falls - just north of Vancouver. I have been there a few times and it's a long way down...

I attended his one day workshop, The Secret Beyond the Law of Attraction, last Saturday. Dov goes WAY beyond the Law of Attraction. It was so powerful, I attracted over $5,000 worth of patio furniture the next day! For FREE!

Any time you can experience this master, go for it. Dov recently wrote a book, The Secret Beyond the Law of Attraction, and you can check it out at http://www.podcasting-unleashed.com/secret. Start Making The Law of Attraction Work For You In 3 Simple Steps! - Even if you've never consciously manifested before.

The only other news I have to share with you is that I am participating in a series of coaching calls for Realtors. One of the top - I think he is the top - Real Estate/Mortgage Trainers is holding a series of coaching calls on relevant topics for Realtors. And he asked me to speak TWICE!! Once on copy writing for Realtors and once on Podcasting.

I am excited to be working with him on it.

He has 12,000 Realtors in his membership site and, yes, he will be attending the Podcast Bootcamp as an Allumni (He came last year and got so much out of it, he told me there was no way he wasn't coming again!)

Thanks for spending this short time with me. Talk with you soon!

Take charge of your Life!
