Adam is a podcaster. He’s good at it. He enjoys it. He also follows all the blogs and gurus you’re supposed to, and they all tell him: you’ve got to blog, got to tweet, got to facebook, got to be everywhere!
He’s tired. He’s trying to do it all, and it’s time to hear our answer to his question: do I have to do everything?
This question and 2 others from listeners on the show today. Enjoy!

The Listener Questions (and timestamp of the answers)
Adam’s question (4m): “As someone trying to build business around the content I release, is it ok if all my content is in audio format or should I force myself to write as well?”
Ryan’s question (31m): “I have some existing email lists for different sites, but if I make a new product that’s unrelated to those previous sites, is it wrong of me to offer the new product to them in an email?”
Vincent’s question (41m): “How does geographic location, nationality, language and culture influence one’s choice of audience and problem to solve? Or should we even let these factors influence the process at all?”

The Top 10 Mistakes in Online Business
Every week we talk with entrepreneurs. We talk about what’s working and what isn’t. We talk about successes and failures. We spend time with complete newbies, seasoned veterans, and everything in between.
One topic that comes up over and over again with both groups is mistakes made in starting businesses. Newbies love to learn about mistakes so they can avoid them. Veterans love to talk about what they wish they had known when starting out.
These conversations have been fascinating, so we compiled a list of the 10 mistakes we hear most often into a nifty lil' guide. Get the 10 Most Common Mistakes in Starting an Online Business here »
Hey guys – where is the link to the business idea autoresponder that Barrett was talking about?
Great stuff. I felt compelled to blog along with doing my podcast. My blog allows me to release other information or fun articles that might not work well with the flow of my show. Love hearing your perspective on these issues. Also, I frequently belt out, for no reason and at random times, “Welcome to the Fizzle shooooooow!” Thanks to you, my neighbors think I’m crazy.
I love blogging… And hope to become an epic blogger by the end of the year with a awesome blog… However I believe it’s all about doing what you love and doing your own thing… I think that’s the best part of being an entrepreneur experiencing the freedom to do whatever. I also l.o.v.e. YouTube. I’m relaunching my channel so it aligns with my new business direction so podcasting and YouTube will hopefully be my main sources of traffic… Loved this episode!
do i have to b-blog.. that beatbox blip has been on repeat for some time now. KILLED me, sweet death. anyway, what’s with the vibram shoes? *quizzical* but back on topic – yes, relevant Qs and thanks for putting focus back on making good work the priority

Wow. Thanks so much for spending so much time on my question. I wish I could have added some thoughts to that conversation so I responded with my own episode. ;)
Five Things to Remember If You Want To Be A Podcaster – My Response to The Fizzle Show Ep 89 ~ http://avclark.com/21
Thanks Adam for submitting this question and thank you Fizzle Show for the awesome answer. This podcast was the final nudge that I needed to do my business how I want to and stop listening to everybody else. I’ve been able to be more real with the world in my life, but now being able to own that in my business too is EPIC! Don’t know why I didn’t connect the two faster :) Time to go buck wild! :) THANK YOU <3
Just remember: There. Are. No. Rules. Don’t talk yourself out of something just because it hasn’t been done before. Like Neil Gaiman says, ignorance of what’s “not possible” is a great thing for an entrepreneur.
You guys answered my question and I can’t be grateful enough. I’m working through edits on my book and I’m going to put this in a SIX WEEK TIME BOX, get it shipped, get it out there. Chase. I think you need my book, bro.
This has been on my mind a lot lately. With my podcast I’ve been going twice a week as I’ve popped up in the new and noteworthy for a few categories. I was doing a once a week blog before but have now done it every two weeks as I don’t want to neglect that but try to get the best momentum I can with the podcast. Thanks guy
