I&#39;m testing a new video production offer at a Sunday market in St. Pete, Florida. In this behind-the-scenes episode of Failure Is Knowledge, I share what happens when I change my approach from offering free podcast recordings to free video recordings. The goal is simple: get five people to experience a live video recording and have two people purchase. But there&#39;s something I&#39;m learning.  Getting people&#39;s attention is one thing.  Getting them comfortable enough to sit down and record is another. Throughout the day, I&#39;m setting up equipment, dealing with windy conditions, testing different ways to explain the offer, and thinking about how to improve the experience. I also explain why Failure Is Knowledge is expanding into video production for business events, conferences, speaking engagements, panels, and event testimonials. Podcast production is still part of what we do, but it is no longer the only service. If you&#39;re a business owner testing new offers or interested in video production, follow along as I document the process. **Failure Is Knowledge** We help businesses record, edit, and upload videos from their events, presentations, speaking engagements, and podcasts.

If you&#39;re trying to figure out how to turn a podcast into a business, one of the biggest things you need to understand is that creating episodes is only one part of it. You also need to know who you&#39;re serving, what problem you&#39;re solving, what you&#39;re offering, and what you&#39;re charging. After producing 893 podcast episodes, I&#39;ve learned that being able to podcast and understanding the business of podcasting are two different things. For a long time, I knew how to have conversations. I knew how to ask questions. I knew how to record content. What I didn&#39;t understand was the business behind it. In this episode, I talk about what changed when I started focusing more on the customer instead of only focusing on my podcast. I also talk about: • Why your podcast can be only step one• Why having an offer matters• What business owners told me they struggled with• Why having equipment doesn&#39;t mean someone will actually start• What I learned from trying to charge people to come onto my podcast• Why I had to become comfortable putting prices on my services• How talking to customers changed the direction of Failure Is Knowledge• Why I&#39;m expanding into podcast recording, event testimonials, and speaking engagement recordings If you&#39;ve been thinking about launching your podcast and you&#39;re ready to stop putting it off, schedule a FREE 15 Minute Podcast Strategy Call with us.
