Why Your Business Should Start Podcasting
"Hi Martin, As you know, Small Business Trends recently reported there are now more than 1 billion podcast subscribers at Apple's iTunes store. That's a pretty impressive number all by itself. And it doesn't even include all the podcasts out there. It should also be noted that this is only the number of subscriptions so it probably doesn't get anywhere near the number of actual podcasts consumed."Franchise Ownership Rocks. Usually...
"Hi Joel, Here's what I'm wondering. Are there a lot of folks who would be better off starting their own business rather than buying a franchise and if you had to pick one key indication that a person fits into that first category what would it be? I'm sure that one of the things that makes some people gravitate towards franchises is that it seems intellectually like it's a better choice to go with an established business model than to strike out on your own. Love if you could respond to this one on the BizSugar community so all our members could get the benefit. "4 Amazing Perks of an At-Home Travel Agent Career

"Hi Craig, Another top notch post. It's nice to see some really deep thought about content going on. I think this extends to just about every business model. Yes, it may be silly to be overly optimistic (or delusional?) about adoption or buy-in of a new idea. But it's equally silly, and far too easy, to assume there will be no market at all for something totally new and unique. So nice to have you as a member of the BizSugar community and thanks so much for contributing. "Simple Trick To Make It Easier For People To Tweet Your Quotes
