Podcast episode number 14 is now live on iTunes. In this podcast episode I go over a survey I conducted to determine if my readers and customers were more interested in niche or authority websites and subsequently provide my own analysis between the two options and explain which direction I’m heading with my business model.

Podcast episode number 12 is now live on iTunes. In this podcast episode I speak with Ty Cohen who I met at a conference in North Carolina earlier this year. We were at dinner in a large group and I got to talking with Ty and he told me his story about his success with Kindle and I had to get him onto the podcast to tell me more.

The eleventh podcast episode is now live on iTunes. In this podcast episode I speak with Spencer Haws from NichePursuits.com about how he built and manages a portfolio of over 200 websites.

The ninth podcast episode is now live on iTunes. In the ninth podcast episode I speak with Rick Schwartz who began buying domain names back in 1995 and now has a portfolio of well over 5,000 domain names including great ones like candy.com, portfolio.com and more. He has a very interesting story in how he built his domain name business and how he saw the rise of the internet and the need for a domain name just as he saw in the early 90′s with phone numbers. He shares some practical advice for those of you looking to get into domain names and you’ll love some of the one liners that Rick dishes out in this podcast as well.
