This episode we focus on Q&A, with Colin Gray from ThePodcastHost.com asking us about his podcast hosting service and how it could be a viable business when hosting is so commoditized.
Jared Easley from StarveTheDoubts.com sent me an email asking whether you could buy another person's podcast as a growth strategy, which we talked about in the second half of the episode.
After listening to a video conversation between Marie Forleo and Gary Vaynerchuk, I posed the question whether I should consider starting a high-end blog services business similar to what Gary and his brother are doing with Vaynermedia. Walter's response was pretty clear about what I would be up against with this business, given his background in consulting.
Here are some of the subjects we discussed -
How to compete in an industry like podcast hosting when price is the only differentiator
What should you be prepared for if you start a new services based business
Can buying a podcast work as a growth strategy for your own podcast
What about buying a pinterest account, or tumblr blog, or twitter profile - are these other types of assets worth buying?
