Podcasts about startups for the rest of us

If you've ever listened to Startups For The Rest Of Us (which, by the way, is approaching seven hundred episodes), you might already be familiar with the energetic host of the show - entrepreneur, bootstrapper, and podcaster extraordinaire Rob Walling. Rob and I chat about his early days as an employee, the transition from the more traditional path of working for someone to starting his own business, building MicroConf, and how the trifecta of skill, hard work, and luck can help folks be on a more predictable path to success.

In this episode of Info Product Mastery, we’ll discuss whether or not building a community helps sell info products and online education courses Topics covered [00:32] This week's featured listener review. [01:01] Today’s topic comes from a listener, Misha Manulis. “Just found your podcast via Startups For The Rest Of Us podcast. Loved your PyImageSearch site when I was learning OpenCV years ago.I'm curious about your thoughts / experience with building a community around info products.My goal with looking at this is to understand how to build a community as part of a series of info products. I'm in the middle of building an online school for IoT. I'm frustrated with the industry and its failures over the last 10 years. I want to share my knowledge and experience building IoT products for hobby, B2B and B2C markets. There is so much snake oil and marketing, I want people to have the tools to build their own or to understand what they're buyingMy intuition says that a community around this content would be incredibly valuable in accomplishing these goals.Would love to "hear" any and all thoughts / feedback you can share.” [02:20] “If content is kind, then community is king.” - Adrian [03:02] If you are creating high quality content, then your listeners or readers are going to learn from you. But what happens when they have completed all their goals? [03:22] It’s important to build a relationship with your audience. To build “super customers.” [03:44] The personal connection with your customers is very important. Adrian explains how to do that. [04:28] “People don’t buy brands, they buy the transformation.” - Adrian [05:01] Community is also helpful with supporting your info products. As you grow, you will get customers asking questions about what they are learning and how they can apply it. [05:57] Adrian believes it’s your responsibility as an educator and a mentor to help as much as you reasonably can without doing the work for your customers. [06:05] If you want to build a community, you have to put some time in. However, as the business grows, you will receive more support questions, which can be a burden. Adrian discusses how to deal with this. [06:54] Adrian talks about super customers and how they can help you build community and why that is a good sign. [07:49] It’s key to participate in the community around your info products and support, and also to

The ‘Stair Step' approach to entrepreneurship is a recurring theme on the TMBA. Coined of course by Startups For The Rest Of Us host Rob Walling. Essentially, it describes how you can build up your business chops by for example, starting a freelance business, then parlaying some of those clients into running an agency and then maybe Software as a Service, and so on. But honestly, you can apply a similar approach in many different ways, including applying it to one brand, which is what today's guest Ben Dziwulski, founder of WodPrep, which helps CrossFitters improve their techniques, has done over the course of many years. He talks to Dan about how WodPrep has grown into a $1.1M business that also allows him to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle he loves.
