What's one of the best, cost-effective, time-effective ways to build a following these days? Podcasting.

My guest Alex Sanfilippo is a podcaster with an entrepreneurial eye for opportunity. He's the founder of PodPros.com and PodMatch.com, both sites I enjoy using as a member and he is also a super nice guy. We chat about the opportunities in podcasting and what we see happening as it hits a huge growth spurt with YouTube, Facebook and now Twitter getting in on the podcast action.

In this episode:

1. Starting a podcast do's & don'ts
2. Why podcast?
3. Keeping the main thing the main thing
4. Do you need to be an expert?
5. What Alex wishes he'd known sooner
6. What makes a valuable show guest?
7. The opportunities in podcasting

and more besides.

I encourage you to check out Alex's sites and to connect with him since he's a super nice guy.
