Thanks for the kind words again everyone. Im soft at heart and def been run down lately.
So good news on the podcast, im arranging to start it for definite in 2 weeks time. I will run live on a sat or sun and time still to be decided. I haven't decided whether or not to run it on iTunes as a radio style podcast or youtube as a video style. Im useless with technology but spoke with a friend of mine today who is a pro athlete and does his own podcast. He has given me some excellent pointers.
Firstly my podcasts will be free in the beginning but after im thinking of charging £1.99 per month or $1.99 per month once its running. How would people feel about that and would you pay for the content? Its not even about money but he made some very valid points to me today. The main one being that I have spent a long time perfecting my craft and he believes that alone is worth some compensation if im going to share more information. I personally feel a little uncomfortable with it but im interested in what you guys thoughts are on that.
Id fill my podcasts with lots content and 'how to's'. Also interview people from diff parts of the industry. In Europe im very well known and feel I have a lot to bring to the table. Ive brought my journals here for 9 years for free and enjoyed most of it and made some great friends and learned an awful lot myself. However im not in good health and its time to start really sharing my knowledge more in case the worst ever happened. It would be good to leave something positive behind that people can learn from and grow from and avoid the many pitfalls that come with growing this plant, especially at a commercial level where there are traps everywhere including thieves, police and even jealous twats that want to have a piece of your hard earned paper.
I have a good idea of how I will run it now and I won't hide my face. If I do it, I do it for real and im actually really excited about it. So please give me some more feedback on the type of show you want and what you would pay, if anything and id be very grateful if you asked other members or friends here on the forum to add some feed back to the discussion.
Im going away for a week tomorrow to try and heal up and destress so I might not be online as I don't know if there will be internet where im staying. If there is I will be here but if not you will hear from me next week.
Peace.
