Learn about content and business from a master

Content is on the rise in prominence at the moment, due to the interest in content marketing and inbound marketing. As always, there’s a mixture of good and bad advice available.

In addition to what you may read from marketing and content agencies, it’s well worth investing a little time in listening to creators.  In this case, it’s Leo LaPorte, founder of the multi-million dollar TWiT network of podcasts, speaking at New Media Expo.

I should note that unfortunately the video can’t be embedded, so you’ll have to watch it on the International Association of Internet Broadcasters website. It also seems to auto-play if you leave it paused for a while, which may freak you out slightly if you go for a toilet break.

And finally, a tip of the hat to Euan Semple, who happened to mention the video as worth watching in a Facebook conversation.

Great video with Leo LaPorte and Twit.tv

I’ve beena  big fan of Twit.tv for quite a while, and I’ve always been intrigued by the business and technology set up that allows Leo and his team to achieve all that they do, so it’s well worth some time watching this video by Jonathan Marks (Which I found via James Cridland).

It’s amazing to see a growing number of production and distribution mechanisms in audio, print, tv etc, and to see what elements of their strategy and implementation might be shared by the business I work for, and what we might be able to learn from them…
