The debate about the worth of podcasting (Scripting News)
There’s a mini-debate going on about whether podcasting is a success or worth it, or whatever, I’m not sure exactly what the issue is, but it’s framed this way –> if you can’t get advertisers to hitch a ride on your podcast then podcasting is not worth much if anything.
I’m having a slow Friday so far, it’s cloudy and chilly here in the Bay Area, we’re in the January doldrums, so I thought maybe I could liven things up a bit by saying both sides of this argument are full of shit wrong.
Let me explain.
My phone doesn’t have a business model. Neither does my porch. I still like having a phone and a porch because they help me meet new people and communicate with people I know. Same with my blog and podcast.
As usual Dave W brings up some good points and makes me think about things in ways I haven’t before. I really like the phone and porch comparison. 😆 I too would like to make a few bucks off my blog, just to pay the overhead of the website and maybe pay for a bit of my internet access but this blog and The Nero Wolfe site are just hobby sites for me unlike Too Many Books which is gonna (some day, maybe) be a business blog (???) or e-commerce site or something somewhere between the two.
Gonna have to cognate on this a while. Time to get back on my head, coffee breaks over. 😉
