How to Get Honest Feedback When Starting a Business
John: Focus groups are hard to run really well, so I would generally suggest doing either the one to one interviews or doing the surveys. He says for most people when they're starting, you're going to be doing this yourself. "You don't ever get anybody being influenced by somebody else's opinion"
In this podcast episode, Dave Jackson, host of the School of Podcasting, interviews John Ainsworth, CEO and founder of DataDrivenMarketing.co and host of The Art of Selling Online Courses. They discuss various topics related to podcasting, online courses, and marketing. John emphasizes the importance of getting feedback from your audience and shifting your mindset from selling to helping. They also talk about the discontinuation of the Stitcher app and suggest alternative podcast apps. Additionally, Dave shares information about cleared music streaming and its potential impact on the music industry. Overall, the episode provides valuable insights and recommendations for podcasters and online course creators.
