Podcasting considerations Mark Cuban, the creator of broadcast.com and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has some interesting thoughts on podcasters and draws lines between podcasting and the early days of streaming media: "For those who are tying to jump on the podcasting bandwagon and create a “hit” podcast that you plan on selling advertising in, its cheap and easy to do, but even with Google Adsense for RSS its going to be really tough to do it as a fulltime job and make minimum wage back. Podcasting is right where streaming was about 10 years ago. Before you dive into podcasting as “the next big thing”, you would be wise to do some homework on how the streaming industry evolved." However, I felt this was the most pertinent comment: "Those projects that are labors of love, rather than financially motivated can do well. If someone is into talking about health, pets, business, whatever and they do it because they love to do it, the reward is the show itself." 11:28:33 AM    comment []  trackback []
