Playing with the Wisdom App and Talking 301 Redirects Aug 20, 2022

Show notes

Today Dave and Jim are playing (we do that a lot on this show) with new technology. We ended up with quite the audience using the Wisdom App. They say you can monetize, but I haven't found that part yet (this is my very first time using the app).

People Are Paying 5 Figures to Appear on Popular Shows

A recent Bloomberg Article about guests paying to be on podcasts (and we mention the importance of disclosing this information).

The site mentions Guestio which (if you wanted) you could have people pay $5 just to pitch you (that might scale back some of the bogus pitches).

Today I am joined by one of my favorite people in the "podcast guru" space Matthew Passy from thepodcastconsultant.com where he offers many different services from podcast audits, launches, editing, and Towncast Studios.

He also has two podcasts. Causepods and Podcast Me Anything.

You will hear when we are talking about the ins and outs of consulting that Matthew talks about admitting if you don't know an answer to say that, and then go find the answer. I couldn't agree more. He's the real deal.
